15
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
16
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
17
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
18
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
19
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
20
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
27
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
28
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
29
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
33
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
34
directories, not only files. (LukÔŔ Lalinský, #107967)
36
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
37
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
43
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
44
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
45
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
47
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
48
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
54
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
55
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)
61
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
63
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
64
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
65
features have been added.
69
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
70
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
74
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
75
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
76
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
77
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
80
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
81
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
82
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
83
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
84
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
87
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
88
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
89
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
92
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
94
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
95
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
99
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
100
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
102
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
103
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
108
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
110
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
112
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
113
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
114
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
116
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
117
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
119
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
122
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
123
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
124
(Alexander Belchenko)
126
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
127
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
128
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
129
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
131
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
134
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
135
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
136
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
137
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
138
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
142
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
143
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
144
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
145
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
147
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
148
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
150
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
151
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
153
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
154
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
155
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
157
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
160
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
161
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
163
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
165
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
167
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
168
symlinks (James Henstridge)
170
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
171
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
173
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
174
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
176
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
177
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
179
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
180
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
182
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
183
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
187
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
188
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
192
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
193
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
194
(Alexander Belchenko)
198
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
199
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
204
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
205
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
206
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
208
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
209
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
210
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
211
(Alexander Belchenko)
213
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
214
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
215
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
216
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
218
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
219
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
220
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
223
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
224
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
225
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
227
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
228
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
229
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
231
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
232
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
233
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
234
format. (Robert Collins)
242
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
245
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
246
---------------------
248
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
250
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
251
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
252
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
253
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
254
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
259
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
260
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
262
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
263
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
264
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
266
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
267
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
268
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
269
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
270
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
271
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
276
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
277
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
279
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
280
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
281
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
284
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
285
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
286
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
287
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
288
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
290
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
291
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
292
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
293
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
294
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
295
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
296
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
297
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
301
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
302
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
304
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
305
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
307
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
308
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
310
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
311
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
312
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
314
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
315
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
320
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
321
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
323
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
324
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
326
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
327
``--template`` (LukÔŔ Lalinský)
329
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
330
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
331
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
333
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
334
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
335
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
337
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
338
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
340
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
341
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
342
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
343
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
344
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
346
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
348
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
349
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
352
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
353
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
355
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
356
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
358
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
359
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
361
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
362
more characters which should be considered valid.
363
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
365
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
366
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
368
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
369
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
373
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
374
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
376
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
377
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
382
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
383
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
388
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
389
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
390
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
392
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
393
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
394
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
396
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
397
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
398
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
399
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
401
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
403
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
404
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
405
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
406
server. (Robert Collins)
408
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
409
operate. (Robert Collins)
411
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
412
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
413
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
415
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
416
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
417
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
418
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
420
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
421
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
423
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
424
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
425
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
427
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
428
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
430
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
431
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
433
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
434
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
435
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
436
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
442
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
444
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
445
---------------------
449
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
450
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
451
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
452
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
454
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
455
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
456
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
457
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
461
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
464
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
467
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
468
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
472
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (LukÔŔ Lalinský,
475
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
476
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
477
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
479
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
481
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
482
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
483
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
484
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
485
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
487
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
488
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
489
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
491
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
492
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
494
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
497
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
499
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
501
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
504
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
505
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
509
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
510
(Martin Pool, #180208)
512
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
513
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
515
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
518
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
519
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
521
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
522
``log --timezone``. (LukÔŔ Lalinský, #178722)
524
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
525
redirected to a pipe. (LukÔŔ Lalinský)
527
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
528
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
530
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
531
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
532
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
534
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
535
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
537
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
538
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
541
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
543
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
544
user:pass embedded in the urls.
545
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
547
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
548
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
550
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
553
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
556
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
557
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
559
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
562
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
563
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
566
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
567
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
568
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
572
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
575
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
576
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
577
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
578
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
579
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
580
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
582
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
586
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
589
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
590
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
592
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
594
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
595
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
596
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
599
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
600
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
602
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
609
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
610
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
611
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
613
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
614
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
617
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
618
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
620
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
621
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
623
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
624
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
626
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
627
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
628
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
630
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
631
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
633
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
634
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
636
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
637
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
640
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
641
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
643
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
644
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
652
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
654
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
657
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
659
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
660
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
664
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
665
---------------------
669
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
670
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
671
by mail to the mailing list.
676
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
678
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
679
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
680
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
681
feedback but also incur more latency.
682
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
684
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
685
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
689
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
691
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
696
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
697
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
698
wraps its output in a StringIO.
702
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
703
---------------------
707
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
709
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
712
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
715
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
716
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
717
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
718
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (LukÔŔ Lalinský)
720
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
723
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
724
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
726
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
727
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
728
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
730
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
731
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
732
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
733
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
734
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
735
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
736
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
737
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
738
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
742
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
745
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
749
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
750
(LukÔŔ Lalinský, #133782)
752
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
754
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
756
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
757
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
759
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
761
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
762
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
764
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
765
committer/author has only e-mail. (LukÔŔ Lalinský, #157026)
769
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
770
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
773
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
774
---------------------
776
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
778
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
779
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
780
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
781
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
783
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
784
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
786
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
787
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
789
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
790
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
791
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
792
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
793
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
794
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
795
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
796
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
797
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
798
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
799
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
800
from any tree without problems.
801
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
805
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
806
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
807
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
809
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
810
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
811
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
816
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
817
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
818
supported transports.
821
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
822
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
823
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
825
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
826
(Robert Collins, #154173)
828
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
829
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
830
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
831
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
833
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
834
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
838
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
839
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
840
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
841
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
843
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
844
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
845
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
846
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
848
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
849
(Robert Collins, #88319)
851
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
852
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
854
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
855
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
857
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
858
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
863
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
866
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
867
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
870
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
871
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
872
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
873
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
875
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
876
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
877
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
878
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
884
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
885
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
887
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
888
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
890
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
891
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
893
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
894
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
896
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
897
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
899
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
900
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
902
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
903
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
905
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
908
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
909
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
911
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
912
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
913
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
915
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
916
(LukÔŔ Lalinský, #172598)
918
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
919
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
921
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
922
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
924
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
925
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
927
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
928
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
929
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
930
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
932
(Martin Pool, #164637)
934
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
935
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
936
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
938
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
939
(Robert Collins, #161240)
941
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
943
(Martin Pool, #164443)
945
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
946
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
948
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
949
specify a port in urls.
950
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
952
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
953
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
955
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
956
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
958
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
959
(Aaron Bentley, LukÔŔ Lalinský, #136890)
961
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
962
(Robert Collins, #153789)
964
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
965
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
966
(Robert Collins, #165304).
968
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
970
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
971
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
973
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
976
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
977
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
979
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
980
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
982
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
983
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
984
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
986
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
987
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
989
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
990
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
991
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
992
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
994
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
995
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
997
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
998
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
999
replaced by '?'. (LukÔŔ Lalinský, #151844)
1001
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
1002
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
1004
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
1005
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
1007
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
1008
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
1012
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
1013
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
1015
* The return value of
1016
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
1017
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
1018
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
1019
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
1021
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
1024
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
1025
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
1031
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
1032
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
1033
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
1036
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
1037
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
1039
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
1049
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
1052
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
1053
----------------------
1055
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1059
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
1060
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
1062
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
1063
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
1064
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
1065
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
1066
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
1067
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
1068
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
1069
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
1070
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
1071
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
1072
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
1073
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
1078
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
1079
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
1080
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
1081
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
1082
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
1083
for further details. (Robert Collins)
1085
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
1086
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
1087
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
1090
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
1092
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
1093
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
1095
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
1096
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
1099
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
1100
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
1101
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
1105
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
1106
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1108
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
1109
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
1111
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
1112
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
1113
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
1114
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
1116
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
1119
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
1120
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
1121
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
1122
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
1124
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
1125
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
1127
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
1128
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1130
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
1131
the contents. (Robert Collins)
1133
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
1134
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
1138
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
1139
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
1141
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
1142
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
1144
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
1145
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
1147
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
1148
(Martin Pool, #63894)
1150
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
1151
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
1155
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
1157
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
1162
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
1163
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
1164
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
1166
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
1167
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
1169
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
1170
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
1172
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
1173
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
1174
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
1175
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
1177
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
1178
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
1179
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
1180
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
1181
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
1183
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
1184
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
1186
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
1188
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1190
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
1191
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
1193
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
1194
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
1196
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
1197
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
1199
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
1200
contains a symbolic link.
1201
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
1203
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
1204
(James Westby, #140615)
1206
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
1207
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
1208
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
1210
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
1211
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
1212
(Martin Pool, #144633)
1214
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1216
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
1217
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
1219
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
1221
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
1223
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
1224
directory to detect leaking tests.
1225
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
1227
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
1228
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
1229
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
1231
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
1234
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
1235
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
1237
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
1242
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
1243
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
1245
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
1246
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
1247
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
1249
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
1250
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
1251
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
1253
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
1254
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
1256
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
1257
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
1259
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
1260
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
1263
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
1264
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
1266
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
1267
class that needs it.
1270
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
1271
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
1273
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
1274
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
1275
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
1277
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
1278
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
1279
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
1282
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
1283
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
1284
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
1285
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
1290
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1291
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1292
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1294
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1295
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1296
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1297
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1299
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1300
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1303
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1304
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1305
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1307
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1308
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1309
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1311
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1312
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1314
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1315
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1316
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1318
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1319
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1321
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1322
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1323
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1325
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1326
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1327
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1329
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1330
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1331
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1332
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1334
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1335
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1336
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1337
returned. (Robert Collins)
1339
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1340
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1342
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1343
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1344
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1345
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1348
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1349
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1353
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1354
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1356
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1357
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1358
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1359
makes this behavior available to other users.
1362
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1363
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
1371
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1372
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1373
(LukÔŔ Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1375
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1377
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1378
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1379
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1380
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1382
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1383
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
1387
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1388
----------------------
1390
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
1391
in bzrlib/remote.py.
1394
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
1395
----------------------
1399
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1400
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1401
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1402
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1405
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1406
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1407
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1412
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1413
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1414
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1417
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1418
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1419
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1421
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1422
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1423
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1425
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1426
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1428
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1429
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1430
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1431
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1432
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1433
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1434
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1435
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1436
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1437
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1439
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1440
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1442
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1443
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1444
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1448
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1449
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1451
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1452
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1453
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1455
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1456
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1458
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1459
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1461
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1464
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1465
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1467
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1468
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1470
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1471
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (LukÔŔ Lalinský)
1473
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1474
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1476
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1478
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1481
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1482
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1483
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1484
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1486
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (LukÔŔ Lalinský)
1488
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1489
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1492
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1493
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1495
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1496
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1499
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1500
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1502
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1503
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1505
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1506
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1507
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1508
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1509
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1510
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1511
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1513
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1514
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1516
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1517
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1519
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1520
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1522
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1523
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1525
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1527
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1529
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1530
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (LukÔŔ Lalinský, #93947)
1532
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1533
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1534
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1536
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1537
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1538
(LukÔŔ Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1542
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1543
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1545
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1548
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1551
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1552
(Aaron Bentley, LukÔŔ Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1554
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1556
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1557
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1559
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1560
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1562
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1563
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1564
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1565
space). (Robert Collins)
1567
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1568
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1571
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1572
changes in one revision. (LukÔŔ Lalinský)
1574
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1575
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1577
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1578
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1579
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1580
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1582
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1583
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1584
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1587
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1590
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1591
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1592
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1594
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1595
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1596
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1597
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1598
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1602
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1603
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1605
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1606
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1607
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1608
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1609
affected. (Robert Collins)
1611
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1612
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1613
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1616
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1617
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1621
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1622
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1624
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1625
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1627
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1628
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1630
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1633
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1634
non-ASCII committer names. (LukÔŔ Lalinský)
1638
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1639
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1640
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1641
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1643
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1644
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1646
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1647
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1648
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1649
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1651
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1652
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1653
present. (Robert Collins)
1655
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1656
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1657
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1658
API. (Robert Collins)
1660
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1661
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1664
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1665
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1667
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1668
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1669
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1670
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1671
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1672
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1674
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1675
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1676
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1678
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1679
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1680
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1681
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1684
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1687
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1688
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1689
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1690
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1691
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1692
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1693
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1695
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1696
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1697
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1698
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1700
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1701
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1702
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1703
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1704
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1705
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1707
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1708
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1709
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1711
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1712
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1720
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1721
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1722
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1723
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1724
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1725
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1726
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
1727
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
1732
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1733
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1734
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
1737
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
1738
----------------------
1742
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1743
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1744
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1745
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1746
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1748
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1749
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1751
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1753
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
1755
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
1756
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
1759
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
1760
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
1763
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
1766
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
1767
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
1769
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
1770
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
1772
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
1773
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
1775
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
1776
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
1778
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
1779
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
1781
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
1786
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
1787
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
1789
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
1790
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
1792
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
1793
the repository (Robert Collins)
1795
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
1796
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
1797
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
1798
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
1799
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
1801
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
1802
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1804
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
1805
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
1806
(John Arbash Meinel)
1808
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
1809
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
1810
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
1812
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
1813
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
1814
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
1815
(John Arbash Meinel)
1817
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
1818
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
1821
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
1822
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
1824
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
1827
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
1829
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1831
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
1832
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
1834
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
1835
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
1838
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
1839
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
1840
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
1841
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1843
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
1844
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
1845
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
1847
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
1848
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
1849
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
1851
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
1852
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
1854
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
1855
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
1856
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
1857
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
1858
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
1859
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
1862
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
1863
(Alexander Belchenko)
1865
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
1866
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
1868
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
1869
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
1871
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1873
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
1874
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
1878
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
1879
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
1880
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
1881
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
1883
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
1885
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
1888
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
1889
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
1890
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
1891
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
1892
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
1893
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
1897
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
1898
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
1899
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
1900
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
1902
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
1903
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
1904
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
1905
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
1906
tests have been refactored too.
1909
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
1910
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
1911
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
1915
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
1916
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
1917
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1919
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
1920
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
1921
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
1922
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
1923
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
1924
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
1925
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
1927
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
1928
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
1929
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
1930
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
1931
(John Arbash Meinel)
1933
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
1934
functionality for testing.
1936
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
1938
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
1939
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1941
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
1943
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
1946
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
1947
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
1949
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
1950
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
1951
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
1953
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
1956
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
1957
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
1959
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
1960
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
1961
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
1962
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
1964
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
1965
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
1967
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
1968
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
1969
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
1971
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
1974
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
1975
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
1976
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
1977
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
1978
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
1979
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
1981
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
1982
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
1983
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
1984
many files. (Robert Collins)
1986
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
1987
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
1988
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
1989
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
1993
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
1994
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
1995
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
1997
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
1998
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
2000
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
2001
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
2002
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2006
--------------------
2010
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
2013
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
2014
-----------------------
2018
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
2019
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
2021
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
2022
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
2023
(James Westby, #122656)
2025
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
2026
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
2028
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
2029
authentication header.
2030
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
2032
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
2034
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
2035
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
2037
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
2039
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
2040
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
2042
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
2043
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
2044
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
2046
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
2047
individually and as part of revision ranges.
2048
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
2050
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
2051
(Martin Pool, #109169)
2053
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
2054
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
2056
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
2057
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
2059
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2061
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
2065
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
2066
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
2067
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
2068
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
2069
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
2070
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
2072
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
2073
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
2074
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
2076
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
2079
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
2080
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
2082
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
2083
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
2085
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
2086
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
2088
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
2089
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
2090
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
2091
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
2092
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
2094
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
2095
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
2097
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
2098
can be slow it is useful feedback).
2099
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
2101
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
2102
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
2104
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
2106
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
2107
output. (Aaron Bentley)
2109
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
2110
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
2113
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
2116
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
2117
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
2119
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
2120
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
2122
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
2123
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
2125
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
2127
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
2128
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
2130
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
2135
* Testing cleanups -
2136
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2137
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
2138
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2139
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
2140
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2141
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
2142
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2143
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
2144
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2145
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
2146
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
2147
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
2148
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2149
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
2150
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2151
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
2152
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
2155
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
2157
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
2158
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
2159
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
2161
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
2162
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
2164
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
2165
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2167
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
2169
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
2170
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
2171
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
2172
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
2173
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
2174
same location. (Robert Collins)
2178
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
2180
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
2182
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
2184
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
2187
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
2190
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
2191
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
2192
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
2194
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
2196
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
2197
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
2198
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
2200
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
2201
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
2203
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
2204
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
2205
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
2207
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
2208
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
2209
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
2211
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
2212
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
2213
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
2215
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
2216
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
2219
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
2220
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
2222
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
2223
(Alexander Belchenko)
2227
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
2228
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
2229
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
2230
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2232
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
2233
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
2234
testing. (Robert Collins)
2236
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
2237
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
2239
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
2240
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
2241
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
2242
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
2243
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
2244
attribute during the test parameterisation in
2245
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
2247
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
2248
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
2249
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
2250
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
2252
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
2253
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
2255
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
2256
avoid useless cloning.
2257
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
2261
--------------------
2265
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
2266
(Colin Watson, #120647)
2268
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
2269
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)

bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
2273
-----------------------
2275
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2277
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
2278
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
2279
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
2280
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
2281
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
2282
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
2283
and unlock() like so::
2285
work_tree.lock_read()
2287
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
2292
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
2293
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
2295
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
2296
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
2297
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
2299
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2300
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2301
too. (Robert Collins)
2305
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
2306
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
2309
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
2310
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
2312
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
2313
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
2315
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
2316
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
2317
understanding what changes have occurred
2318
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
2320
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
2321
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
2322
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2324
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
2325
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
2326
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
2327
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2329
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2334
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
2335
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
2336
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
2337
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
2338
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
2340
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2341
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2342
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2344
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
2345
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
2347
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
2349
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)

* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2352
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2354
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2355
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2357
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2358
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2360
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2361
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2363
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2364
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2366
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2367
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2368
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
2371
--------------------
2375
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2376
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2377
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2378
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2379
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2381
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2382
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2383
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2385
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2386
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2390
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2391
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2392
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2394
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2395
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2396
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2397
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
2399
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
2400
-----------------------
2404
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2405
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2406
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2407
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2409
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2410
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2411
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
2413
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2414
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
2416
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
2417
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
2419
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
2420
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
2422
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
2423
-----------------------
2425
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2427
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
2428
it could be recovered again.
2429
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
2430
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
2431
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
2433
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
2435
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
2436
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
2440
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
2441
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
2443
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
2444
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
2445
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
2446
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
2448
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
2449
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
2451
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
2452
tests with names that match that regular expression.
2453
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
2455
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
2456
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
2457
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
2459
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
2460
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
2461
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
2463
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
2464
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
2467
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
2470
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
2471
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
2472
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
2473
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
2475
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
2478
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
2479
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
2480
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
2483
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
2484
(Erik BƄgfors, Alexander Belchenko)
2486
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
2487
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
2489
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
2490
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
2491
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
2492
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
2495
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
2496
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
2498
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
2499
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2501
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
2502
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
2503
(Robert Collins, #107125).
2505
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
2506
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
2507
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
2509
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
2510
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
2511
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2513
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
2514
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
2515
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
2516
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
2518
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
2519
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
2520
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
2521
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
2523
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
2524
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
2525
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
2526
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
2527
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
2528
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
2529
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
2530
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
2536
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
2537
code paths. (Robert Collins)
2539
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
2540
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
2541
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
2542
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
2543
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2545
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
2546
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
2548
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
2549
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
2551
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
2552
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
2554
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
2555
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
2557
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
2558
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
2559
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
2562
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
2563
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
2564
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
2565
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
2566
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
2569
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
2570
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
2571
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
2573
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
2574
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
2577
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
2578
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
2579
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
2582
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
2583
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
2584
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
2585
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
2586
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
2588
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
2589
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
2590
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
2591
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2593
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
2594
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2596
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
2597
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
2598
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
2599
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
2600
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
2601
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
2603
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
2604
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
2606
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
2607
help. (Robert Collins)
2609
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
2610
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2612
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
2613
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
2614
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
2615
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
2616
(John Arbash Meinel)
2618
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
2619
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
2620
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
2621
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
2622
useful. (Robert Collins)
2624
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
2629
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
2630
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
2632
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
2633
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
2635
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
2636
properly and is no longer beneficial.
2637
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
2639
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2642
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2643
the file, and does it faster.
2644
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2646
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2647
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2648
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2650
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2651
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2652
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2653
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2655
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2656
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2657
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2658
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2660
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2661
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2663
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2664
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2665
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2666
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2669
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2671
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2672
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2674
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2675
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2677
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2678
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2679
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2680
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2684
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2685
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2689
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2690
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2691
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2693
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2694
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2696
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2697
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2698
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2699
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2700
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2701
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2702
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2703
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2705
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2706
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2707
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2709
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2710
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2711
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2712
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2713
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2715
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2717
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2718
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2719
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2721
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2722
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
2730
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
2733
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
2734
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
2737
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
2738
-----------------------
2742
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2743
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2748
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2749
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2750
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2751
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2752
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
2753
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
2754
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
2755
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
2760
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
2761
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
2762
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
2764
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
2765
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
2768
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
2769
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
2770
(John Arbash Meinel)
2772
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
2773
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
2774
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
2775
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
2776
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
2780
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
2783
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
2784
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
2786
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
2787
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
2789
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
2790
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
2791
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
2793
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
2794
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
2796
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
2797
last-changed-revision for directories. The
2798
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
2799
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
2800
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
2802
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
2803
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
2804
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
2806
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
2809
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
2810
-----------------------
2812
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2814
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
2815
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
2816
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
2820
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
2821
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
2823
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
2824
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
2826
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2828
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
2829
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
2831
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
2832
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
2836
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
2841
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
2842
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
2843
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
2844
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2846
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
2847
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
2849
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
2850
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
2852
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
2855
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
2856
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
2859
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
2860
-----------------------
2864
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
2865
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
2866
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
2867
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
2868
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
2869
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
2871
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
2872
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
2873
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
2874
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
2875
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
2876
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
2878
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2880
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
2881
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
2882
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
2883
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
2884
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
2885
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
2886
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
2887
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2891
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
2892
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
2894
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
2895
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
2896
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
2897
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
2899
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
2900
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
2901
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
2902
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
2903
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
2905
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
2908
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
2911
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
2914
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
2915
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
2918
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
2921
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
2922
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
2924
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
2925
directory. (Martin Pool)
2927
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
2928
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
2929
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
2930
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
2932
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
2933
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
2934
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
2935
in docs/configuration.txt.
2937
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
2938
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
2941
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
2942
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
2943
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
2944
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
2945
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
2946
repositories. (Martin Pool)
2948
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
2949
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2951
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
2952
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
2954
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
2959
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
2960
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
2961
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
2962
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
2963
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
2964
(John Arbash Meinel)
2966
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
2967
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
2970
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
2971
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
2972
(John Arbash Meinel)
2974
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
2975
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
2976
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
2977
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
2978
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
2979
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
2981
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
2982
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
2983
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
2985
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
2986
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
2987
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
2988
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
2990
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2992
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
2993
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
2994
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
2995
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
2997
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
2998
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
2999
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
3000
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
3002
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
3003
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
3004
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
3006
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
3007
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
3008
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
3010
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
3011
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
3012
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
3013
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
3015
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
3016
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
3017
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
3019
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
3020
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
3021
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
3023
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
3024
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
3025
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
3026
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
3027
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
3028
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
3029
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
3030
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
3031
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
3032
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
3033
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
3037
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
3038
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
3039
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
3041
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
3044
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
3045
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
3046
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
3047
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
3049
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
3050
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
3053
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
3054
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
3056
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
3058
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
3059
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
3060
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
3062
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
3063
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
3065
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
3066
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
3068
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
3069
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
3071
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
3072
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
3074
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
3076
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
3077
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
3081
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
3082
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
3086
--------------------
3090
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
3094
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
3095
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
3096
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
3098
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
3099
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
3100
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
3103
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
3104
-----------------------
3108
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
3109
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
3110
server, then you can write over the http connection.
3111
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3113
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
3116
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
3117
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
3118
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3120
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
3121
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
3123
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
3126
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
3127
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
3128
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
3129
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
3130
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
3131
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
3133
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
3134
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
3135
should enable you to do::
3137
[/home/user/project]
3138
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
3139
push_location:policy = appendpath
3141
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
3142
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
3145
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
3146
for each file. For example::
3148
$ bzr status --short
3154
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
3155
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
3157
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
3159
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
3160
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
3162
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
3166
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
3167
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
3168
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
3169
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
3171
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
3172
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
3173
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
3175
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3177
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
3178
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
3179
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
3180
(Alexander Belchenko)
3182
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
3185
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
3186
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
3188
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
3192
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
3193
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
3195
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
3196
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
3197
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
3198
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
3199
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
3201
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
3202
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
3204
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
3205
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
3207
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
3209
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
3211
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
3212
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
3213
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
3214
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
3215
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
3217
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
3218
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
3219
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
3220
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
3222
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
3223
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
3225
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
3226
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
3228
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
3229
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
3231
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
3232

No changes from 0.13rc1
3240
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
3241
-----------------------
3245
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
3247
(Daniel Silverstone)
3249
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
3250
operations are substantially faster.
3251
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
3253
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
3254
tree from some other url. For example:
3255
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
3256
(Daniel Silverstone)
3258
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
3259
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
3260
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
3261
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
3263
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
3266
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
3267
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
3268
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
3269
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
3270
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
3271
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
3275
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
3276
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
3279
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3280
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3281
(John Arbash Meinel)
3283
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
3284
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
3285
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
3286
(John Arbash Meinel)
3288
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
3289
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3291
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3292
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3294
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3295
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3300
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
3301
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
3302
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
3304
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
3305
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
3306
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
3307
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
3309
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3311
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3312
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3314
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3315
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3316
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
3317
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3319
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3320
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3321
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3323
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3324
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3325
them as full references rather than integers.
3326
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3328
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3329
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3331
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3333
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3334
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3336
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3337
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3339
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3340
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3341
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3342
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3344
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3345
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3346
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3348
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3349
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3351
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3352
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3353
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3354
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3355
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3359
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3360
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
3363
--------------------
3367
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3368
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3369
(John Arbash Meinel)
3371
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
3372
-----------------------
3376
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3377
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3378
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3379
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3381
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3382
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3384
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3386
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3387
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3388
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3389
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3391
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3392
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3393
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3394
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3395
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3397
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3399
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3400
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3404
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3405
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3406
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3408
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3409
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3410
(John Arbash Meinel)
3412
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3413
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3414
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3416
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3417
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3420
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3421
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3422
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3424
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3425
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3426
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3427
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3428
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3429
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3431
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3432
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3433
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3436
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3437
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3441
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3442
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3443
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3446
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3447
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3449
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3450
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3451
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3453
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3454
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3456
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3457
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3458
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3459
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3461
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3462
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3464
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3465
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3466
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3468
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3469
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3471
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3473
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3474
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3479
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3480
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3481
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3482
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3484
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3485
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3486
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3489
--------------------
3491
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (LukÔŔ Lalinský).
3493
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
3494
-----------------------
3498
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
3500
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
3503
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
3504
-----------------------
3508
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3509
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3510
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3511
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3512
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3513
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3514
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3516
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3517
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3518
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3520
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3522
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3523
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3525
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3526
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3527
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3530
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3531
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3532
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3533
(John Arbash Meinel)
3535
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3536
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3537
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3538
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3541
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3542
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3543
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
3544
(John Arbash Meinel)
3548
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
3549
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
3551
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3553
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3554
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3555
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
3557
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3558
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
3560
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3561
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3563
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3564
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3566
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
3567
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
3569
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3571
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3572
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3574
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3575
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3577
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3578
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3580
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3581
(John Arbash Meinel)
3583
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3584
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3585
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3587
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3588
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3590
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3591
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3592
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3593
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3595
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3596
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3597
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
3599
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
3600
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
3604
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3608
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3609
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3610
(John Arbash Meinel)
3612
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3613
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3614
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3615
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3617
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3620
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3621
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3622
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3624
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3625
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3627
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3628
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3629
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3631
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3632
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3633
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3634
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3635
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3636
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3637
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3638
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3639
caller to repeat their request.
3640
(John Arbash Meinel)
3642
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3643
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3645
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3646
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3648
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3649
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3650
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3651
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3652
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3653
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3654
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3656
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3657
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3658
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3659
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3660
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3661
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3662
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3663
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3666
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3667
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3668
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3670
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3671
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3673
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3674
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3676
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3677
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3681
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3682
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3684
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3685
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3686
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3688
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3689
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3690
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3693
--------------------
3696
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3697
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3699
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3700
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3701
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3702
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3703
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3705
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3706
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3707
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3709
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3710
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3712
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3713
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3714
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3718
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3720
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3721
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
3722
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
3724
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
3726
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
3728
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
3729
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
3730
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
3731
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
3733
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
3734
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
3735
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
3736
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
3737
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
3739
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
3740
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
3742
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
3743
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
3745
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
3746
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
3748
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
3749
in handling of revision properties.
3750
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
3752
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
3753
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
3757
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
3758
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
3759
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
3760
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
3761
(John Arbash Meinel)
3763
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
3764
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
3765
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3767
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
3768
---------------------
3772
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
3773
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
3774
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
3775
specific one '.bzrignore'.
3776
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
3777
a more conservative list than the old default.
3778
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
3779
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
3780
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
3781
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
3783
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
3784
to more locations than just branch locations.
3789
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
3790
revno:N:branch. For example,
3791
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
3792
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
3794
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
3795
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
3796
the path of a file that has been versioned.
3797
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
3798
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
3799
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
3800
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
3801
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
3804
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
3805
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
3806
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
3809
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
3810
(Alexander Belchenko)
3812
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
3814
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
3817
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
3818
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
3819
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
3820
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
3821
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
3822
(John Arbash Meinel)
3824
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
3825
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
3826
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
3827
grained analysis of performance.
3828
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3830
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
3831
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
3833
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
3834
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
3835
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
3836
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
3837
file. (Robert Collins).
3839
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
3840
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
3841
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
3843
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
3844
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
3847
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
3848
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
3850
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
3851
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
3852
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
3853
the same way you would apply another branch.
3854
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3856
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
3857
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
3859
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
3862
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
3865
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
3866
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
3867
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
3869
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
3870
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
3871
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
3873
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
3874
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
3876
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
3877
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
3878
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
3879
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
3880
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
3882
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
3883
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
3885
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
3886
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
3887
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
3888
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
3889
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
3890
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
3891
branch is as much as 4x faster.
3892
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
3894
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
3895
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
3896
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
3900
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
3902
(Erik BƄgfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
3904
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
3905
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3907
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
3908
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
3910
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
3911
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
3913
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
3915
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
3916
(John Arbash Meinel)
3918
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
3919
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
3921
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
3922
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
3925
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
3926
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
3928
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
3929
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
3931
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
3932
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
3933
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
3934
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
3936
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
3937
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
3939
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
3941
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
3942
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
3944
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
3946
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
3948
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
3949
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
3951
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
3952
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
3954
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
3955
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
3956
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
3958
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
3959
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
3960
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
3962
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
3963
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
3965
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
3966
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
3968
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
3969
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
3971
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
3972
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
3974
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
3975
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
3977
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
3978
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
3979
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
3981
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
3983
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
3984
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
3988
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
3989
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
3990
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
3992
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
3993
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
3995
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
3996
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
3997
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3999
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
4000
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4002
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
4003
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
4006
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
4007
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
4008
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4010
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
4011
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
4012
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4014
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
4015
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
4016
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
4018
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
4019
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
4020
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
4022
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
4023
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
4024
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
4026
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
4027
instead. (Robert Collins)
4029
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
4031
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
4032
---------------------
4036
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
4038
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
4039
---------------------
4043
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
4044
Robert Collins, Erik BƄgfors, #43959)
4046
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
4047
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4049
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
4050
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
4051
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
4055
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
4057
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
4058
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
4060
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
4064
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
4065
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
4066
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
4067
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
4071
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
4072
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
4073
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
4077
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
4078
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
4079
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4083
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
4084
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
4089
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4091
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
4092
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
4093
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
4094
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
4095
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
4096
will keep the same format.
4098
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
4099
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
4100
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
4101
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
4102
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
4104
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
4105
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
4106
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
4107
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
4108
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
4109
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
4110
indicating the current revision of the branch.
4112
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
4113
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
4114
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
4115
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
4116
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
4118
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
4119
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
4120
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
4126
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
4127
convention. Paths now take the form::
4129
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
4131
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
4133
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
4134
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
4136
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
4137
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
4138
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
4140
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
4141
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
4142
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
4143
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
4145
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
4146
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
4147
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
4149
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik BƄgfors)
4151
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik BƄgfors)
4153
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
4154
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
4157
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
4158
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
4161
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
4163
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
4164
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
4165
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
4168
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
4170
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
4172
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
4175
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
4176
their own formatters. (Erik BƄgfors)
4178
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
4179
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
4182
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
4183
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
4186
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
4188
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
4190
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
4191
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik BƄgfors, Robert Collins)
4193
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
4194
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
4195
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
4196
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
4197
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
4198
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
4200
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
4202
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
4203
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
4206
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
4207
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
4209
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
4210
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
4212
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
4214
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
4215
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
4216
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
4217
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
4218
specification by Martin Pool.
4219
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
4221
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
4224
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
4225
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4227
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
4228
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
4229
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
4231
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
4233
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
4234
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
4239
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
4240
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4242
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
4244
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
4246
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
4249
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
4250
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
4251
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
4252
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
4256
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
4257
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
4258
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
4259
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4261
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
4262
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
4263
tried. (Martin Pool)
4265
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
4268
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
4270
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
4271
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
4272
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
4274
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
4275
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
4277
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
4278
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
4279
paths. (Robert Collins)
4281
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
4282
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
4283
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
4285
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
4286
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
4287
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
4289
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4290
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4291
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4293
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4296
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4299
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4301
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4303
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
4304
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
4305
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
4308
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4309
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4311
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
4312
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
4313
check. (Robert Collins)
4315
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4316
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4320
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4321
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4323
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4324
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4325
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4326
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4328
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4329
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4330
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4331
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4332
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4334
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4335
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4336
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4338
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4340
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4341
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
4348
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4349
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4351
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4352
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4353
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4356
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4357
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4359
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4360
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4361
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4362
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4363
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4365
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4366
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4367
used. (Robert Collins)
4369
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4370
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4373
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4374
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4375
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4377
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4380
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4381
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4385
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4386
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4388
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4390
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4392
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4393
tree. (Robert Collins)
4395
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4396
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4397
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4400
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4403
* Tweaks to short log printing
4405
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4408
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4409
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4411
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4412
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4414
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4415
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4417
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
4418
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4419
settings. (Magnus Therning)
4421
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
4422
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4424
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4425
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4428
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4429
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4431
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
4432
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
4434
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
4435
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
4437
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
4440
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
4441
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4443
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4444
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4446
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4447
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4448
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
4452
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
4454
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4456
* Error when run with -OO
4458
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
4461
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4463
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4465
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4466
ignored by diff and status
4468
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4469
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
4471
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
4473
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4475
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4476
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4478
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4479
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4481
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4484
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4485
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4487
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4489
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4490
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4492
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4495
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4496
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4498
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4502
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4503
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4505
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4507
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4509
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4511
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4512
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4513
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4515
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4517
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4518
(John Arbash Meinel)
4520
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4522
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4523
If adding a new test script please add that to
4524
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4526
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4527
imported. (Martin Pool)
4529
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4530
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4531
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4532
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4533
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4536
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4537
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4538
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4540
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4541
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4542
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4544
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4545
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4546
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4547
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4548
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4551
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4552
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4557
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4558
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4560
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4561
function. (Robert Collins)
4563
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4564
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4565
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4567
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4568
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4571
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4572
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4573
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4574
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4575
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4576
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4577
version. (Robert Collins)
4579
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4580
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4582
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4583
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4584
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4585
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4586
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4587
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4589
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4592
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4602
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4604
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4606
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4609
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4610
query method. (Robert Collins)
4612
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4615
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4618
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4621
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4622
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4623
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4624
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4626
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4627
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4628
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4629
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4631
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4632
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
4639
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4642
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4646
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4647
a separator, not ':'.
4650
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4651
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4652
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4654
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4655
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4658
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4659
has been added that suppresses all output.
4661
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4664
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4665
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4667
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4668
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4670
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4671
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4673
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4674
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4675
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4676
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4678
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4680
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4681
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4683
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4684
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4686
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4687
output directory, if one was supplied.
4689
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4690
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4691
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4692
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4694
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4696
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4697
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4699
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4700
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4701
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4703
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4704
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4706
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4709
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4711
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4715
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4716
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4717
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4719
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4720
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4721
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4723
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
4724
is given. (Martin Pool)
4726
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
4727
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
4728
file. (Robert Collins)
4730
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
4735
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
4736
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
4737
representation. (Martin Pool).
4739
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
4740
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
4741
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
4743
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4746
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
4747
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
4750
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4751
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
4752
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
4753
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
4754
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4756
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
4757
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
4758
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
4759
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
4760
python path. (Robert Collins)
4762
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
4763
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
4764
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
4765
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
4767
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
4768
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
4770
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
4771
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
4774
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
4775
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
4776
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
4778
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
4779
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
4780
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
4782
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4783
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4785
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
4786
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
4787
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
4790
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
4791
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
4792
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
4793
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
4796
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
4799
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
4800
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
4803
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
4804
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
4805
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
4807
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
4808
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
4809
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
4811
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
4812
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
4813
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
4815
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4816
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4818
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
4819
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
4820
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
4821
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
4822
caller. (Robert Collins)
4824
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
4825
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
4828
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
4829
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
4832
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
4834
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
4835
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
4839
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
4840
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
4842
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
4843
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
4846
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
4847
--------------------
4851
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
4852
allow directories to be listed.
4854
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
4855
upgrading branch format.
4859
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
4867
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
4868
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
4869
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
4870
high-latency connections.
4874
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
4877
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
4878
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
4880
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
4881
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
4882
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
4883
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4885
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
4886
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
4888
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
4889
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
4891
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
4892
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
4893
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4895
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
4896
for files with only a change to their executable status.
4897
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
4900
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
4901
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
4903
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
4904
different partial views of history.
4906
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
4907
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
4911
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
4912
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
4913
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4915
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
4916
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
4919
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
4920
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
4922
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
4925
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
4926
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
4928
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
4929
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
4930
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
4931
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4933
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
4935
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
4936
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
4939
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
4940
Contributed by Robert Collins.
4942
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
4943
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
4944
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
4949
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
4950
for your viewing pleasure.
4952
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
4953
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
4955
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
4956
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
4957
handling of such circumstances.
4959
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
4960
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
4961
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
4963
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
4965
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
4966
we call them revisions not patches.
4968
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
4969
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
4971
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
4972
giving the revision *of that file*.
4974
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
4975
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
4976
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
4980
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
4981
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
4983
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
4984
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
4987
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
4988
--------------------
4992
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
4994
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
4997
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
4999
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
5001
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
5002
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5006
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
5007
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
5009
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
5010
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
5011
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
5012
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
5015
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
5016
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5020
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
5022
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
5023
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
5026
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
5027
--------------------
5031
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
5032
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
5033
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
5034
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
5037
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
5040
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
5041
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
5042
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
5043
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
5044
for the operating system is still tried.
5046
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
5047
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
5048
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
5053
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
5057
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
5059
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
5062
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
5068
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
5070
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
5073
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
5074
--------------------
5078
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
5079
help with intelligent shell completion.
5081
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
5086
* Much better merge support.
5088
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
5089
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
5095
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
5096
mention revisions that are not present.
5098
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
5100
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
5102
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
5103
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
5108
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
5110
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
5111
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
5117
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
5118
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
5123
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
5124
--------------------
5128
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
5129
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
5131
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
5133
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
5134
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
5136
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
5139
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
5141
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
5144
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
5145
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
5147
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
5148
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
5149
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
5154
* Faster working tree operations.
5159
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
5160
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
5161
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
5162
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
5164
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
5165
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
5166
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
5167
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
5168
standard plugins directory.
5170
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
5171
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
5172
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
5173
option. Patch from William DodƩ and John Meinel.
5175
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
5176
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
5178
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
5181
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
5182
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
5183
``-l`` option, patched by William DodƩ.
5185
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
5186
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
5188
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
5189
line options must come before the command name because they
5190
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
5191
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
5194
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
5196
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
5197
is available with ``--short``.
5202
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
5205
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
5206
---------------------
5210
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
5211
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5213
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
5214
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
5215
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
5216
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
5218
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
5219
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
5220
with the ``--forward`` option.
5222
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
5223
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
5229
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
5230
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
5232
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
5234
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
5235
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
5237
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
5239
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
5240
either read or write mode.
5242
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
5244
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
5247
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
5249
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
5250
suggested by LarstiQ.
5252
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
5253
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
5255
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
5258
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
5259
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
5261
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
5262
haven't changed since the previous time.
5264
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
5265
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
5267
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
5269
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
5271
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
5272
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
5274
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
5275
options through to an external GNU diff.
5277
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
5280
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
5286
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
5287
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
5289
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
5295
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
5296
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
5299
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
5300
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
5302
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
5303
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
5305
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
5306
under a different version.
5308
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
5313
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
5315
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
5316
Scott James Remnant.
5318
* Better help messages for many commands.
5320
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
5321
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
5323
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
5324
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
5326
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
5328
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
5330
* New AtomicFile class.
5332
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
5337
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
5338
2.4 is now only recommended.
5341
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
5342
---------------------
5346
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
5347
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
5349
* More default ignore patterns.
5351
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
5352
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
5354
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
5356
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
5359
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
5364
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
5365
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
5366
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
5367
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
5368
there are DNS problems.
5370
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
5375
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
5377
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
5379
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
5380
trailing newlines properly.
5385
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
5388
* More tests in test.sh.
5390
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
5391
directory and delete it when done.
5393
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
5398
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
5401
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
5405
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
5406
---------------------
5410
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
5413
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
5415
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
5418
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
5421
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
5423
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
5427
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
5428
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
5433
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
5434
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
5439
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
5443
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
5451
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
5454
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
5455
-----------------------------------
5459
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
5461
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
5462
rather than replacing it.
5464
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
5468
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
5471
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
5472
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
5474
* Performance improvements.
5476
* New global --profile option.
5478
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
5479
the root directory only.
5482
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
5483
---------------------
5487
* More information from info command.
5489
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
5491
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
5492
committing to stores.
5494
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
5498
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
5502
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
5503
installation easier.
5505
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
5509
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
5510
------------------------
5514
* First public release.
5516
* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
