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,
41
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
43
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
44
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
45
features have been added.
49
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
50
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
54
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
55
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
56
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
57
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
60
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
61
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
62
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
63
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
64
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
67
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
68
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
69
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
72
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
74
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
75
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
79
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
80
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
82
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
83
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
88
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
90
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
92
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
93
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
94
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
96
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
97
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
99
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
102
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
103
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
104
(Alexander Belchenko)
106
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
107
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
108
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
109
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
111
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
114
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
115
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
116
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
117
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
118
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
122
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
123
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
124
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
125
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
127
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
128
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
130
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
131
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
133
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
134
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
135
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
137
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
140
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
141
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
143
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
145
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
147
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
148
symlinks (James Henstridge)
150
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
151
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
153
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
154
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
156
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
157
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
159
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
160
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
162
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
163
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
167
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
168
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
172
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
173
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
174
(Alexander Belchenko)
178
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
179
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
184
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
185
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
186
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
188
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
189
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
190
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
191
(Alexander Belchenko)
193
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
194
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
195
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
196
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
198
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
199
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
200
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
203
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
204
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
205
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
207
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
208
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
209
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
211
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
212
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
213
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
214
format. (Robert Collins)
222
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
225
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
226
---------------------
228
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
230
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
231
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
232
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
233
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
234
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
239
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
240
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
242
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
243
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
244
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
246
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
247
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
248
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
249
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
250
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
251
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
256
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
257
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
259
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
260
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
261
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
264
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
265
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
266
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
267
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
268
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
270
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
271
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
272
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
273
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
274
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
275
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
276
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
277
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
281
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
282
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
284
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
285
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
287
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
288
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
290
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
291
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
292
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
294
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
295
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
300
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
301
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
303
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
304
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
306
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
307
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
309
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
310
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
311
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
313
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
314
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
315
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
317
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
318
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
320
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
321
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
322
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
323
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
324
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
326
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
328
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
329
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
332
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
333
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
335
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
336
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
338
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
339
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
341
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
342
more characters which should be considered valid.
343
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
345
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
346
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
348
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
349
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
353
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
354
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
356
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
357
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
362
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
363
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
368
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
369
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
370
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
372
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
373
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
374
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
376
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
377
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
378
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
379
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
381
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
383
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
384
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
385
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
386
server. (Robert Collins)
388
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
389
operate. (Robert Collins)
391
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
392
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
393
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
395
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
396
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
397
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
398
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
400
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
401
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
403
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
404
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
405
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
407
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
408
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
410
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
411
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
413
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
414
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
415
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
416
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
422
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
424
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
425
---------------------
429
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
430
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
431
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
432
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
434
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
435
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
436
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
437
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
441
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
444
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
447
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
448
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
452
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
455
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
456
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
457
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
459
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
461
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
462
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
463
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
464
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
465
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
467
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
468
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
469
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
471
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
472
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
474
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
477
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
479
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
481
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
484
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
485
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
489
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
490
(Martin Pool, #180208)
492
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
493
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
495
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
498
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
499
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
501
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
502
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
504
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
505
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
507
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
508
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
510
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
511
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
512
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
514
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
515
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
517
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
518
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
521
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
523
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
524
user:pass embedded in the urls.
525
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
527
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
528
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
530
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
533
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
536
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
537
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
539
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
542
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
543
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
546
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
547
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
548
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
552
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
555
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
556
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
557
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
558
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
559
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
560
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
562
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
566
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
569
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
570
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
572
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
574
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
575
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
576
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
579
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
580
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
582
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
589
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
590
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
591
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
593
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
594
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
597
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
598
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
600
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
601
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
603
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
604
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
606
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
607
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
608
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
610
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
611
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
613
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
614
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
616
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
617
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
620
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
621
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
623
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
624
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
632
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
634
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
637
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
639
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
640
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
644
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
645
---------------------
649
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
650
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
651
by mail to the mailing list.
656
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
658
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
659
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
660
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
661
feedback but also incur more latency.
662

* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
665
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
669
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
671
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
676
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
677
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
678
wraps its output in a StringIO.
682
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
683
---------------------
687
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
689
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
692
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
695
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
696
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
697
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
698
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
700
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
703
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
704
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
706
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
707
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
708
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
710
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
711
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
712
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
713
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
714
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
715
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
716
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
717
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
718
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
722
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
725
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
729
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
730
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
732
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
734
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
736
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
737
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
739
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
741
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
742
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
744
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
745
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
749
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
750
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
753
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
754
---------------------
756
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
758
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
759
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
760
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
761
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
763
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
764
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
766
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
767
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
769
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
770
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
771
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
772
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
773
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
774
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
775
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
776
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
777
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
778
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
779
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
780
from any tree without problems.
781
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
785
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
786
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
787
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
789
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
790
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
791
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
796
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
797
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
798
supported transports.
801
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
802
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
803
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
805
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
806
(Robert Collins, #154173)
808
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
809
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
810
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
811
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
813
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
814
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
818
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
819
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
820
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
821
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
823
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
824
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
825
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
826
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
828
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
829
(Robert Collins, #88319)
831
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
832
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
834
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
835
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
837
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
838
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
843
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
846
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
847
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
850
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
851
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
852
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
853
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
855
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
856
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
857
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
858
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
864
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
865
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
867
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
868
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
870
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
871
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
873
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
874
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
876
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
877
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
879
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
880
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
882
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
883
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
885
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
888
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
889
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
891
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
892
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
893
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
895
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
896
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
898
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
899
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
901
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
902
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
904
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
905
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
907
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
908
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
909
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
910
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
912
(Martin Pool, #164637)
914
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
915
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
916
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
918
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
919
(Robert Collins, #161240)
921
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
923
(Martin Pool, #164443)
925
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
926
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
928
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
929
specify a port in urls.
930
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
932
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
933
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
935
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
936
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
938
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
939
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
941
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
942
(Robert Collins, #153789)
944
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
945
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
946
(Robert Collins, #165304).
948
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
950
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
951
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
953
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
956
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
957
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
959
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
960
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
962
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
963
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
964
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
966
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
967
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
969
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
970
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
971
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
972
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
974
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
975
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
977
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
978
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
979
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
981
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
982
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
984
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
985
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
987
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
988
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
992
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
993
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
995
* The return value of
996
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
997
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
998
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
999
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
1001
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
1004
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
1005
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
1011
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
1012
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
1013
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
1016
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
1017
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
1019
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
1029
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
1032
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
1033
----------------------
1035
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1039
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
1040
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
1042
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
1043
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
1044
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
1045
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
1046
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
1047
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
1048
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
1049
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
1050
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
1051
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
1052
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
1053
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
1058
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
1059
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
1060
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
1061
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
1062
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
1063
for further details. (Robert Collins)
1065
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
1066
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
1067
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
1070
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
1072
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
1073
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
1075
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
1076
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
1079
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
1080
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
1081
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
1085
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
1086
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1088
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
1089
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
1091
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
1092
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
1093
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
1094
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
1096
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
1099
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
1100
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
1101
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
1102
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
1104
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
1105
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
1107
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
1108
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1110
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
1111
the contents. (Robert Collins)
1113
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
1114
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
1118
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
1119
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
1121
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
1122
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
1124
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
1125
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
1127
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
1128
(Martin Pool, #63894)
1130
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
1131
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
1135
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
1137
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
1142
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
1143
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
1144
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
1146
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
1147
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
1149
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
1150
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
1152
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
1153
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
1154
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
1155
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
1157
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
1158
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
1159
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
1160
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
1161
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
1163
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
1164
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
1166
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
1168
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1170
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
1171
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
1173
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
1174
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
1176
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
1177
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
1179
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
1180
contains a symbolic link.
1181
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
1183
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
1184
(James Westby, #140615)
1186
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
1187
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
1188
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
1190
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
1191
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
1192
(Martin Pool, #144633)
1194
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1196
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
1197
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
1199
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
1201
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
1203
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
1204
directory to detect leaking tests.
1205
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
1207
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
1208
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
1209
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
1211
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
1214
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
1215
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
1217
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
1222
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
1223
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
1225
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
1226
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
1227
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
1229
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
1230
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
1231
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
1233
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
1234
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
1236
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
1237
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
1239
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
1240
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
1243
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
1244
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
1246
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
1247
class that needs it.
1250
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
1251
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
1253
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
1254
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
1255
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
1257
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
1258
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
1259
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
1262
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
1263
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
1264
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
1265
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
1270
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1271
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1272
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1274
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1275
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1276
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1277
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1279
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1280
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1283
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1284
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1285
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1287
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1288
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1289
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1291
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1292
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1294
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1295
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1296
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1298
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1299
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1301
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1302
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1303
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1305
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1306
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1307
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1309
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1310
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1311
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1312
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1314
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1315
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1316
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1317
returned. (Robert Collins)
1319
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1320
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1322
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1323
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1324
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1325
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1328
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1329
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1333
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1334
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1336
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1337
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1338
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1339
makes this behavior available to other users.
1342
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1343
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
1351
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1352
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1353
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1355
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1357
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1358
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1359
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1360
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1362
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1363
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
1367
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1368
----------------------
1370
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
1371
in bzrlib/remote.py.
1374
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
1375
----------------------
1379
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1380
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1381
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1382
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1385
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1386
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1387
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1392
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1393
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1394
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1397
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1398
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1399
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1401
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1402
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1403
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1405
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1406
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1408
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1409
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1410
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1411
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1412
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1413
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1414
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1415
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1416
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1417
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1419
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1420
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1422
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1423
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1424
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1428
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1429
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1431
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1432
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1433
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1435
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1436
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1438
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1439
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1441
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1444
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1445
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1447
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1448
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1450
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1451
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1453
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1454
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1456
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1458
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1461
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1462
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1463
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1464
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1466
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1468
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1469
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1472
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1473
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1475
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1476
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1479
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1480
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1482
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1483
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1485
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1486
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1487
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1488
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1489
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1490
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1491
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1493
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1494
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1496
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1497
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1499
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1500
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1502
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1503
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1505
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1507
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1509
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1510
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1512
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1513
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1514
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1516
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1517
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1518
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1522
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1523
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1525
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1528
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1531
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1532
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1534
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1536
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1537
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1539
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1540
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1542
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1543
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1544
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1545
space). (Robert Collins)
1547
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1548
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1551
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1552
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1554
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1555
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1557
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1558
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1559
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1560
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1562
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1563
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1564
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1567
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1570
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1571
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1572
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1574
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1575
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1576
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1577
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1578
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1582
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1583
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1585
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1586
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1587
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1588
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1589
affected. (Robert Collins)
1591
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1592
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1593
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1596
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1597
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1601
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1602
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1604
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1605
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1607
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1608
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1610
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1613
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1614
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1618
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1619
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1620
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1621
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1623
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1624
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1626
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1627
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1628
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1629
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1631
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1632
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1633
present. (Robert Collins)
1635
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1636
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1637
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1638
API. (Robert Collins)
1640
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1641
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1644
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1645
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1647
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1648
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1649
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1650
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1651
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1652
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1654
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1655
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1656
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1658
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1659
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1660
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1661
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1664
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1667
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1668
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1669
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1670
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1671
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1672
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1673
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1675
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1676
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1677
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1678
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1680
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1681
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1682
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1683
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1684
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1685
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1687
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1688
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1689
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1691
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1692
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1700
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1701
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1702
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1703
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1704
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1705
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1706
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
1707
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
1712
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1713
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1714
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
1717
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
1718
----------------------
1722
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1723
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1724
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1725
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1726
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1728
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1729
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1731
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1733
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
1735
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
1736
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
1739
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
1740
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
1743
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
1746
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
1747
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
1749
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
1750
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
1752
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
1753
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
1755
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
1756
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
1758
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
1759
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
1761
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
1766
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
1767
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
1769
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
1770
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
1772
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
1773
the repository (Robert Collins)
1775
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
1776
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
1777
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
1778
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
1779
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
1781
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
1782
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1784
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
1785
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
1786
(John Arbash Meinel)
1788
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
1789
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
1790
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
1792
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
1793
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
1794
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
1795
(John Arbash Meinel)
1797
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
1798
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
1801
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
1802
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
1804
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
1807
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
1809
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1811
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
1812
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
1814
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
1815
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
1818
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
1819
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
1820
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
1821
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1823
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
1824
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
1825
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
1827
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
1828
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
1829
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
1831
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
1832
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
1834
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
1835
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
1836
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
1837
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
1838
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
1839
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
1842
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
1843
(Alexander Belchenko)
1845
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
1846
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
1848
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
1849
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
1851
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1853
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
1854
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
1858
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
1859
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
1860
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
1861
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
1863
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
1865
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
1868
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
1869
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
1870
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
1871
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
1872
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
1873
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
1877
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
1878
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
1879
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
1880
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
1882
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
1883
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
1884
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
1885
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
1886
tests have been refactored too.
1889
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
1890
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
1891
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
1895
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
1896
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
1897
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1899
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
1900
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
1901
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
1902
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
1903
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
1904
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
1905
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
1907
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
1908
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
1909
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
1910
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
1911
(John Arbash Meinel)
1913
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
1914
functionality for testing.
1916
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
1918
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
1919
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1921
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
1923
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
1926
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
1927
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
1929
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
1930
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
1931
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
1933
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
1936
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
1937
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
1939
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
1940
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
1941
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
1942
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
1944
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
1945
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
1947
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
1948
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
1949
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
1951
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
1954
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
1955
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
1956
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
1957
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
1958
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
1959
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
1961
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
1962
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
1963
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
1964
many files. (Robert Collins)
1966
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
1967
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
1968
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
1969
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
1973
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
1974
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
1975
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
1977
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
1978
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
1980
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
1981
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
1982
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1986
--------------------
1990
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
1993
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
1994
-----------------------
1998
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
1999
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
2001
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
2002
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
2003
(James Westby, #122656)
2005
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
2006
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
2008
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
2009
authentication header.
2010
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
2012
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
2014
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
2015
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
2017
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
2019
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
2020
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
2022
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
2023
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
2024
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
2026
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
2027
individually and as part of revision ranges.
2028
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
2030
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
2031
(Martin Pool, #109169)
2033
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
2034
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
2036
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
2037
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
2039
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2041
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
2045
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
2046
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
2047
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
2048
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
2049
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
2050
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
2052
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
2053
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
2054
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
2056
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
2059
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
2060
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
2062
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
2063
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
2065
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
2066
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
2068
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
2069
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
2070
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
2071
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
2072
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
2074
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
2075
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
2077
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
2078
can be slow it is useful feedback).
2079
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
2081
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
2082
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
2084
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
2086
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
2087
output. (Aaron Bentley)
2089
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
2090
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
2093
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
2096
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
2097
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
2099
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
2100
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
2102
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
2103
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
2105
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
2107
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
2108
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
2110
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
2115
* Testing cleanups -
2116
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2117
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
2118
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2119
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
2120
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2121
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
2122
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2123
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
2124
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2125
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
2126
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
2127
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
2128
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2129
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
2130
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2131
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
2132
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
2135
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
2137
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
2138
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
2139
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
2141
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
2142
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
2144
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
2145
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2147
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
2149
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
2150
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
2151
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
2152
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
2153
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
2154
same location. (Robert Collins)
2158
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
2160
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
2162
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
2164
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
2167
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
2170
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
2171
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
2172
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
2174
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
2176
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
2177
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
2178
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
2180
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
2181
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
2183
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
2184
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
2185
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
2187
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
2188
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
2189
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
2191
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
2192
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
2193
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
2195
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
2196
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
2199
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
2200
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
2202
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
2203
(Alexander Belchenko)
2207
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
2208
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
2209
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
2210
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2212
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
2213
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
2214
testing. (Robert Collins)
2216
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
2217
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
2219
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
2220
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
2221
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
2222
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
2223
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
2224
attribute during the test parameterisation in
2225
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
2227
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
2228
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
2229
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
2230
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
2232
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
2233
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
2235
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
2236
avoid useless cloning.
2237
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
2241
--------------------
2245
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
2246
(Colin Watson, #120647)
2248
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
2249

-----------------------
2255
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2257
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
2258
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
2259
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
2260
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
2261
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
2262
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
2263
and unlock() like so::
2265
work_tree.lock_read()
2267
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
2272
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
2273
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
2275
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
2276
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
2277
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
2279
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2280
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2281
too. (Robert Collins)
2285
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
2286
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
2289
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
2290
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
2292
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
2293
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
2295
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
2296
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
2297
understanding what changes have occurred
2298
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
2300
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
2301
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
2302
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2304
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
2305
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
2306
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
2307
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2309
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2314
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
2315
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
2316
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
2317
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
2318
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
2320
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2321
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2322
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2324
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
2325
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
2327
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
2329
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2331
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2332
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2334
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2335
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2337
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2338
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2340
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2341
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2343
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2344
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2346
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2347
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2348
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
2351
--------------------
2355
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2356
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2357
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2358
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2359
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2361
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2362
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2363
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2365
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2366
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2370
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2371
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2372
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2374
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2375
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2376
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2377
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
2379
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
2380
-----------------------
2384
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2385
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2386
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2387
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2389
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2390
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2391
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
2393
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2394
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
2396
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
2397
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
2399
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
2400
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
2402
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
2403
-----------------------
2405
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2407
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
2408
it could be recovered again.
2409
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
2410
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
2411
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
2413
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
2415
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
2416
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
2420
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
2421
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
2423
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
2424
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
2425
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
2426
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
2428
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
2429
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
2431
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
2432
tests with names that match that regular expression.
2433
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
2435
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
2436
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
2437
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
2439
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
2440
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
2441
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
2443
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
2444
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
2447
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
2450
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
2451
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
2452
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
2453
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
2455
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
2458
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
2459
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
2460
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
2463
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
2464
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
2466
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
2467
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
2469
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
2470
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
2471
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
2472
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
2475
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
2476
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
2478
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
2479
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2481
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
2482
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
2483
(Robert Collins, #107125).
2485
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
2486
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
2487
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
2489
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
2490
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
2491
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2493
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
2494
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
2495
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
2496
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
2498
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
2499
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
2500
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
2501
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
2503
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
2504
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
2505
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
2506
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
2507
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
2508
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
2509
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
2510
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
2516
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
2517
code paths. (Robert Collins)
2519
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
2520
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
2521
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
2522
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
2523
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2525
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
2526
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
2528
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
2529
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
2531
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
2532
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
2534
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
2535
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
2537
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
2538
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
2539
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
2542
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
2543
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
2544
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
2545
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
2546
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
2549
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
2550
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
2551
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
2553
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
2554
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
2557
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
2558
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
2559
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
2562
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
2563
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
2564
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
2565
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
2566
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
2568
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
2569
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
2570
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
2571
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2573
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
2574
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2576
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
2577
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
2578
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
2579
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
2580
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
2581
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
2583
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
2584
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
2586
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
2587
help. (Robert Collins)
2589
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
2590
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2592
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
2593
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
2594
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
2595
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
2596
(John Arbash Meinel)
2598
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
2599
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
2600
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
2601
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
2602
useful. (Robert Collins)
2604
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
2609
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
2610
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
2612
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
2613
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
2615
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
2616
properly and is no longer beneficial.
2617
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
2619
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2622
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2623
the file, and does it faster.
2624
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2626
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2627
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2628
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2630
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2631
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2632
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2633
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2635
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2636
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2637
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2638
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2640
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2641
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2643
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2644
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2645
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2646
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2649
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2651
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2652
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2654
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2655
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2657
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2658
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2659
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2660
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2664
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2665
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2669
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2670
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2671
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2673
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2674
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2676
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2677
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2678
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2679
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2680
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2681
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2682
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2683
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2685
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2686
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2687
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2689
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2690
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2691
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2692
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2693
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2695
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2697
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2698
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2699
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2701
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2702
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
2710
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
2713
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
2714
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
2717
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
2718
-----------------------
2722
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2723
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2728
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2729
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2730
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2731
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2732
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
2733
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
2734
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
2735
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
2740
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
2741
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
2742
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
2744
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
2745
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
2748
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
2749
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
2750
(John Arbash Meinel)
2752
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
2753
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
2754
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
2755
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
2756
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
2760
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
2763
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
2764
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
2766
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
2767
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
2769
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
2770
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
2771
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
2773
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
2774
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
2776
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
2777
last-changed-revision for directories. The
2778
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
2779
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
2780
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
2782
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
2783
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
2784
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
2786
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
2789
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
2790
-----------------------
2792
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2794
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
2795
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
2796
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
2800
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
2801
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
2803
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
2804
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
2806
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2808
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
2809
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
2811
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
2812
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
2816
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
2821
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
2822
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
2823
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
2824
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2826
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
2827
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
2829
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
2830
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
2832
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
2835
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
2836
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
2839
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
2840
-----------------------
2844
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
2845
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
2846
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
2847
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
2848
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
2849
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
2851
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
2852
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
2853
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
2854
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
2855
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
2856
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
2858
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2860
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
2861
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
2862
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
2863
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
2864
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
2865
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
2866
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
2867
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2871
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
2872
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
2874
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
2875
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
2876
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
2877
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
2879
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
2880
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
2881
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
2882
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
2883
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
2885
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
2888
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
2891
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
2894
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
2895
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
2898
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
2901
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
2902
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
2904
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
2905
directory. (Martin Pool)
2907
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
2908
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
2909
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
2910
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
2912
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
2913
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
2914
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
2915
in docs/configuration.txt.
2917
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
2918
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
2921
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
2922
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
2923
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
2924
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
2925
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
2926
repositories. (Martin Pool)
2928
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
2929
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2931
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
2932
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
2934
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
2939
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
2940
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
2941
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
2942
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
2943
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
2944
(John Arbash Meinel)
2946
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
2947
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
2950
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
2951
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
2952
(John Arbash Meinel)
2954
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
2955
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
2956
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
2957
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
2958
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
2959
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
2961
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
2962
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
2963
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
2965
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
2966
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
2967
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
2968
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
2970
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2972
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
2973
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
2974
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
2975
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
2977
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
2978
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
2979
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
2980
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
2982
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
2983
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
2984
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
2986
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
2987
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
2988
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
2990
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
2991
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
2992
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
2993
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
2995
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
2996
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
2997
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
2999
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
3000
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
3001
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
3003
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
3004
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
3005
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
3006
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
3007
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
3008
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
3009
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
3010
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
3011
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
3012
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
3013
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
3017
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
3018
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
3019
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
3021
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
3024
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
3025
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
3026
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
3027
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
3029
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
3030
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
3033
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
3034
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
3036
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
3038
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
3039
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
3040
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
3042
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
3043
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
3045
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
3046
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
3048
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
3049
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
3051
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
3052
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
3054
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
3056
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
3057
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
3061
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
3062
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
3066
--------------------
3070
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
3074
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
3075
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
3076
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
3078
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
3079
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
3080
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
3083
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
3084
-----------------------
3088
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
3089
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
3090
server, then you can write over the http connection.
3091
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3093
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
3096
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
3097
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
3098
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3100
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
3101
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
3103
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
3106
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
3107
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
3108
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
3109
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
3110
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
3111
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
3113
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
3114
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
3115
should enable you to do::
3117
[/home/user/project]
3118
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
3119
push_location:policy = appendpath
3121
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
3122
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
3125
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
3126
for each file. For example::
3128
$ bzr status --short
3134
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
3135
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
3137
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
3139
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
3140
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
3142
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
3146
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
3147
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
3148
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
3149
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
3151
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
3152
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
3153
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
3155
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3157
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
3158
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
3159
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
3160
(Alexander Belchenko)
3162
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
3165
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
3166
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
3168
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
3172
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
3173
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
3175
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
3176
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
3177
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
3178
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
3179
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
3181
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
3182
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
3184
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
3185
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
3187
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
3189
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
3191
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
3192
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
3193
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
3194
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
3195
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
3197
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
3198
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
3199
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
3200
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
3202
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
3203
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
3205
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
3206
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
3208
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
3209
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
3211
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
3212

No changes from 0.13rc1
3220
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
3221
-----------------------
3225
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
3227
(Daniel Silverstone)
3229
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
3230
operations are substantially faster.
3231
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
3233
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
3234
tree from some other url. For example:
3235
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
3236
(Daniel Silverstone)
3238
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
3239
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
3240
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
3241
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
3243
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
3246
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
3247
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
3248
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
3249
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
3250
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
3251
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
3255
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
3256
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
3259
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3260
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3261
(John Arbash Meinel)
3263
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
3264
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
3265
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
3266
(John Arbash Meinel)
3268
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
3269
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3271
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3272
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3274
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3275
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3280
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
3281
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
3282
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
3284
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
3285
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
3286
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
3287
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
3289
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3291
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3292
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3294
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3295
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3296
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
3297
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3299
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3300
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3301
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3303
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3304
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3305
them as full references rather than integers.
3306
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3308
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3309
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3311
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3313
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3314
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3316
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3317
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3319
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3320
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3321
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3322
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3324
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3325
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3326
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3328
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3329
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3331
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3332
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3333
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3334
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3335
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3339
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3340
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
3343
--------------------
3347
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3348
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3349
(John Arbash Meinel)
3351
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
3352
-----------------------
3356
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3357
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3358
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3359
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3361
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3362
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3364
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3366
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3367
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3368
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3369
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3371
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3372
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3373
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3374
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3375
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3377
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3379
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3380
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3384
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3385
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3386
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3388
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3389
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3390
(John Arbash Meinel)
3392
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3393
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3394
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3396
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3397
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3400
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3401
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3402
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3404
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3405
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3406
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3407
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3408
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3409
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3411
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3412
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3413
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3416
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3417
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3421
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3422
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3423
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3426
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3427
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3429
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3430
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3431
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3433
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3434
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3436
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3437
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3438
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3439
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3441
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3442
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3444
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3445
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3446
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3448
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3449
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3451
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3453
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3454
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3459
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3460
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3461
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3462
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3464
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3465
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3466
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3469
--------------------
3471
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
3473
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
3474
-----------------------
3478
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
3480
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
3483
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
3484
-----------------------
3488
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3489
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3490
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3491
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3492
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3493
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3494
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3496
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3497
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3498
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3500
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3502
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3503
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3505
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3506
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3507
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3510
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3511
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3512
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3513
(John Arbash Meinel)
3515
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3516
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3517
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3518
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3521
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3522
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3523
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
3524
(John Arbash Meinel)
3528
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
3529
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
3531
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3533
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3534
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3535
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
3537
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3538
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
3540
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3541
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3543
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3544
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3546
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
3547
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
3549
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3551
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3552
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3554
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3555
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3557
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3558
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3560
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3561
(John Arbash Meinel)
3563
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3564
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3565
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3567
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3568
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3570
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3571
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3572
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3573
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3575
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3576
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3577
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
3579
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
3580
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
3584
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3588
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3589
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3590
(John Arbash Meinel)
3592
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3593
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3594
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3595
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3597
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3600
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3601
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3602
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3604
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3605
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3607
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3608
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3609
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3611
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3612
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3613
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3614
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3615
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3616
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3617
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3618
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3619
caller to repeat their request.
3620
(John Arbash Meinel)
3622
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3623
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3625
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3626
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3628
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3629
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3630
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3631
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3632
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3633
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3634
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3636
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3637
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3638
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3639
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3640
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3641
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3642
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3643
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3646
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3647
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3648
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3650
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3651
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3653
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3654
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3656
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3657
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3661
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3662
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3664
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3665
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3666
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3668
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3669
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3670
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3673
--------------------
3676
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3677
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3679
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3680
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3681
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3682
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3683
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3685
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3686
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3687
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3689
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3690
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3692
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3693
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3694
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3698
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3700
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3701
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
3702
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
3704
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
3706
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
3708
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
3709
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
3710
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
3711
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
3713
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
3714
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
3715
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
3716
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
3717
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
3719
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
3720
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
3722
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
3723
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
3725
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
3726
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
3728
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
3729
in handling of revision properties.
3730
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
3732
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
3733
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
3737
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
3738
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
3739
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
3740
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
3741
(John Arbash Meinel)
3743
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
3744
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
3745
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3747
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
3748
---------------------
3752
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
3753
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
3754
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
3755
specific one '.bzrignore'.
3756
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
3757
a more conservative list than the old default.
3758
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
3759
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
3760
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
3761
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
3763
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
3764
to more locations than just branch locations.
3769
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
3770
revno:N:branch. For example,
3771
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
3772
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
3774
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
3775
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
3776
the path of a file that has been versioned.
3777
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
3778
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
3779
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
3780
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
3781
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
3784
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
3785
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
3786
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
3789
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
3790
(Alexander Belchenko)
3792
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
3794
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
3797
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
3798
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
3799
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
3800
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
3801
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
3802
(John Arbash Meinel)
3804
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
3805
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
3806
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
3807
grained analysis of performance.
3808
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3810
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
3811
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
3813
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
3814
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
3815
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
3816
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
3817
file. (Robert Collins).
3819
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
3820
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
3821
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
3823
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
3824
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
3827
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
3828
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
3830
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
3831
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
3832
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
3833
the same way you would apply another branch.
3834
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3836
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
3837
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
3839
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
3842
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
3845
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
3846
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
3847
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
3849
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
3850
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
3851
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
3853
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
3854
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
3856
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
3857
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
3858
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
3859
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
3860
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
3862
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
3863
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
3865
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
3866
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
3867
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
3868
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
3869
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
3870
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
3871
branch is as much as 4x faster.
3872
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
3874
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
3875
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
3876
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
3880
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
3882
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
3884
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
3885
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3887
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
3888
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
3890
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
3891
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
3893
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
3895
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
3896
(John Arbash Meinel)
3898
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
3899
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
3901
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
3902
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
3905
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
3906
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
3908
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
3909
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
3911
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
3912
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
3913
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
3914
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
3916
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
3917
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
3919
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
3921
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
3922
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
3924
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
3926
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
3928
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
3929
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
3931
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
3932
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
3934
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
3935
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
3936
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
3938
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
3939
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
3940
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
3942
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
3943
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
3945
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
3946
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
3948
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
3949
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
3951
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
3952
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
3954
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
3955
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
3957
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
3958
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
3959
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
3961
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
3963
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
3964
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
3968
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
3969
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
3970
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
3972
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
3973
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
3975
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
3976
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
3977
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3979
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
3980
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3982
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
3983
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
3986
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
3987
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
3988
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3990
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
3991
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
3992
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3994
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
3995
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
3996
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
3998
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
3999
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
4000
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
4002
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
4003
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
4004
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
4006
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
4007
instead. (Robert Collins)
4009
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
4024
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
4026
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
4027
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4029
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
4030
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
4031
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
4035
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
4037
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
4038
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
4040
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
4044
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
4045
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
4046
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
4047
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
4051
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
4052
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
4053
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
4057
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
4058
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
4059
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4063
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
4064
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
4069
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4071
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
4072
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
4073
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
4074
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
4075
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
4076
will keep the same format.
4078
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
4079
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
4080
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
4081
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
4082
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
4084
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
4085
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
4086
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
4087
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
4088
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
4089
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
4090
indicating the current revision of the branch.
4092
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
4093
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
4094
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
4095
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
4096
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
4098
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
4099
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
4100
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
4106
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
4107
convention. Paths now take the form::
4109
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
4111
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
4113
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
4114
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
4116
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
4117
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
4118
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
4120
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
4121
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
4122
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
4123
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
4125
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
4126
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
4127
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
4129
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
4131
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
4133
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
4134
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
4137
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
4138
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
4141
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
4143
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
4144
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
4145
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
4148
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
4150
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
4152
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
4155
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
4156
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
4158
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
4159
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
4162
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
4163
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
4166
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
4168
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
4170
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
4171
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
4173
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
4174
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
4175
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
4176
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
4177
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
4178
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
4180
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
4182
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
4183
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
4186
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
4187
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
4189
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
4190
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
4192
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
4194
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
4195
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
4196
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
4197
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
4198
specification by Martin Pool.
4199
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
4201
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
4204
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
4205
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4207
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
4208
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
4209
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
4211
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
4213
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
4214
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
4219
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
4220
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4222
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
4224
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
4226
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
4229
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
4230
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
4231
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
4232
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
4236
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
4237
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
4238
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
4239
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4241
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
4242
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
4243
tried. (Martin Pool)
4245
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
4248
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
4250
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
4251
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
4252
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
4254
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
4255
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
4257
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
4258
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
4259
paths. (Robert Collins)
4261
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
4262
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
4263
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
4265
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
4266
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
4267
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
4269
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4270
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4271
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4273
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4276
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4279
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4281
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4283
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
4284
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
4285
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
4288
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4289
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4291
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
4292
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
4293
check. (Robert Collins)
4295
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4296
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4300
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4301
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4303
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4304
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4305
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4306
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4308
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4309
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4310
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4311
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4312
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4314
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4315
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4316
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4318
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4320
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4321
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
4328
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4329
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4331
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4332
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4333
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4336
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4337
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4339
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4340
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4341
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4342
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4343
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4345
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4346
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4347
used. (Robert Collins)
4349
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4350
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4353
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4354
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4355
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4357
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4360
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4361
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4365
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4366
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4368
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4370
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4372
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4373
tree. (Robert Collins)
4375
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4376
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4377
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4380
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4383
* Tweaks to short log printing
4385
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4388
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4389
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4391
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4392
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4394
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4395
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4397
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
4398
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4399
settings. (Magnus Therning)
4401
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
4402
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4404
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4405
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4408
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4409
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4411
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
4412
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
4414
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
4415
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
4417
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
4420
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
4421
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4423
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4424
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4426
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4427
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4428
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
4432
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
4434
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4436
* Error when run with -OO
4438
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
4441
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4443
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4445
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4446
ignored by diff and status
4448
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4449
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
4451
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
4453
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4455
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4456
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4458
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4459
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4461
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4464
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4465
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4467
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4469
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4470
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4472
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4475
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4476
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4478
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4482
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4483
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4485
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4487
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4489
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4491
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4492
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4493
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4495
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4497
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4498
(John Arbash Meinel)
4500
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4502
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4503
If adding a new test script please add that to
4504
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4506
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4507
imported. (Martin Pool)
4509
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4510
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4511
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4512
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4513
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4516
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4517
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4518
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4520
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4521
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4522
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4524
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4525
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4526
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4527
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4528
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4531
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4532
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4537
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4538
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4540
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4541
function. (Robert Collins)
4543
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4544
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4545
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4547
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4548
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4551
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4552
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4553
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4554
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4555
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4556
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4557
version. (Robert Collins)
4559
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4560
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4562
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4563
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4564
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4565
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4566
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4567
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4569
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4572
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4582
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4584
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4586
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4589
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4590
query method. (Robert Collins)
4592
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4595
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4598
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4601
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4602
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4603
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4604
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4606
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4607
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4608
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4609
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4611
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4612
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
4619
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4622
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4626
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4627
a separator, not ':'.
4630
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4631
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4632
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4634
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4635
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4638
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4639
has been added that suppresses all output.
4641
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4644
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4645
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4647
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4648
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4650
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4651
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4653
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4654
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4655
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4656
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4658
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4660
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4661
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4663
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4664
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4666
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4667
output directory, if one was supplied.
4669
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4670
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4671
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4672
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4674
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4676
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4677
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4679
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4680
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4681
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4683
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4684
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4686
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4689
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4691
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4695
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4696
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4697
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4699
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4700
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4701
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4703
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
4704
is given. (Martin Pool)
4706
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
4707
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
4708
file. (Robert Collins)
4710
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
4715
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
4716
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
4717
representation. (Martin Pool).
4719
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
4720
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
4721
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
4723
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4726
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
4727
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
4730
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4731
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
4732
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
4733
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
4734
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4736
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
4737
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
4738
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
4739
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
4740
python path. (Robert Collins)
4742
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
4743
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
4744
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
4745
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
4747
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
4748
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
4750
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
4751
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
4754
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
4755
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
4756
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
4758
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
4759
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
4760
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
4762
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4763
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4765
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
4766
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
4767
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
4770
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
4771
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
4772
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
4773
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
4776
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
4779
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
4780
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
4783
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
4784
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
4785
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
4787
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
4788
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
4789
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
4791
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
4792
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
4793
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
4795
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4796
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4798
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
4799
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
4800
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
4801
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
4802
caller. (Robert Collins)
4804
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
4805
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
4808
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
4809
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
4812
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
4814
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
4815
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
4819
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
4820
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
4822
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
4823
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
4826
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
4827
--------------------
4831
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
4832
allow directories to be listed.
4834
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
4835
upgrading branch format.
4839
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
4847
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
4848
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
4849
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
4850
high-latency connections.
4854
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
4857
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
4858
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
4860
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
4861
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
4862
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
4863
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4865
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
4866
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
4868
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
4869
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
4871
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
4872
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
4873
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4875
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
4876
for files with only a change to their executable status.
4877
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
4880
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
4881
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
4883
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
4884
different partial views of history.
4886
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
4887
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
4891
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
4892
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
4893
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4895
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
4896
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
4899
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
4900
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
4902
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
4905
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
4906
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
4908
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
4909
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
4910
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
4911
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4913
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
4915
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
4916
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
4919
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
4920
Contributed by Robert Collins.
4922
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
4923
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
4924
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
4929
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
4930
for your viewing pleasure.
4932
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
4933
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
4935
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
4936
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
4937
handling of such circumstances.
4939
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
4940
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
4941
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
4943
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
4945
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
4946
we call them revisions not patches.
4948
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
4949
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
4951
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
4952
giving the revision *of that file*.
4954
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
4955
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
4956
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
4960
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
4961
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
4963
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
4964
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
4967
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
4968
--------------------
4972
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
4974
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
4977
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
4979
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
4981
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
4982
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4986
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
4987
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
4989
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
4990
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
4991
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
4992
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
4995
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
4996
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5000
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
5002
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
5003
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
5006
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
5007
--------------------
5011
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
5012
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
5013
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
5014
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
5017
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
5020
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
5021
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
5022
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
5023
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
5024
for the operating system is still tried.
5026
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
5027
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
5028
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
5033
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
5037
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
5039
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
5042
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
5048
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
5050
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
5053
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
5054
--------------------
5058
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
5059
help with intelligent shell completion.
5061
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
5066
* Much better merge support.
5068
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
5069
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
5075
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
5076
mention revisions that are not present.
5078
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
5080
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
5082
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
5083
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
5088
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
5090
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
5091
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
5097
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
5098
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
5103
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
5104
--------------------
5108
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
5109
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
5111
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
5113
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
5114
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
5116
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
5119
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
5121
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
5124
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
5125
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
5127
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
5128
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
5129
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
5134
* Faster working tree operations.
5139
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
5140
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
5141
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
5142
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
5144
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
5145
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
5146
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
5147
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
5148
standard plugins directory.
5150
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
5151
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
5152
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
5153
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
5155
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
5156
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
5158
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
5161
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
5162
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
5163
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
5165
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
5166
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
5168
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
5169
line options must come before the command name because they
5170
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
5171
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
5174
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
5176
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
5177
is available with ``--short``.
5182
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
5185
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
5186
---------------------
5190
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
5191
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5193
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
5194
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
5195
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
5196
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
5198
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
5199
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
5200
with the ``--forward`` option.
5202
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
5203
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
5209
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
5210
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
5212
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
5214
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
5215
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
5217
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
5219
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
5220
either read or write mode.
5222
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
5224
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
5227
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
5229
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
5230
suggested by LarstiQ.
5232
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
5233
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
5235
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
5238
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
5239
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
5241
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
5242
haven't changed since the previous time.
5244
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
5245
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
5247
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
5249
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
5251
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
5252
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
5254
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
5255
options through to an external GNU diff.
5257
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
5260
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
5266
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
5267
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
5269
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
5275
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
5276
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
5279
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
5280
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
5282
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
5283
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
5285
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
5286
under a different version.
5288
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
5293
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
5295
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
5296
Scott James Remnant.
5298
* Better help messages for many commands.
5300
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
5301
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
5303
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
5304
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
5306
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
5308
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
5310
* New AtomicFile class.
5312
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
5317
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
5318
2.4 is now only recommended.
5321
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
5322
---------------------
5326
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
5327
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
5329
* More default ignore patterns.
5331
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
5332
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
5334
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
5336
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
5339
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
5344
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
5345
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
5346
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
5347
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
5348
there are DNS problems.
5350
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
5355
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
5357
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
5359
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
5360
trailing newlines properly.
5365
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
5368
* More tests in test.sh.
5370
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
5371
directory and delete it when done.
5373
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
5378
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
5381
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
5385
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
5386
---------------------
5390
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
5393
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
5395
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
5398
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
5401
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
5403
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
5407
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
5408
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
5413
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
5414
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
5419
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
5423
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
5431
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
5434
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
5435
-----------------------------------
5439
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
5441
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
5442
rather than replacing it.
5444
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
5448
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
5451
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
5452
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
5454
* Performance improvements.
5456
* New global --profile option.
5458
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
5459
the root directory only.
5462
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
5463
---------------------
5467
* More information from info command.
5469
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
5471
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
5472
committing to stores.
5474
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
5478
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
5482
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
5483
installation easier.
5485
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
5489
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
5490
------------------------
5494
* First public release.
5496
* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
