NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
12
13
CHANGES:
14
15
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
16
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
17
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
18
variable. (Xavier Maillard)

FEATURES:
21
22
IMPROVEMENTS:
23
24
BUGFIXES:
25
26
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
27
packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph walk
28
iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. (Robert Collins)
29
30
DOCUMENTATION:

bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
42
---------------------
43
44
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
45
46
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
47
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
48
49
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
50
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
51
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
52
53
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
54
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
55
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
56
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
57
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
58
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
59
Andrew Cowie)
60
61
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
62
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
63
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
64
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
65
66
FEATURES:
67
68
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
69
70
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
71
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
72
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
73
74
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
75
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
76
See the User Reference for signature details.
77
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
78
79
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
80
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
81
82
IMPROVEMENTS:
83
84
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
85
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
86
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
87
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
88
89
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
90
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
91
92
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
93
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
94
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
95
Wouter van Heyst)
96
97
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
98
(Chad Miller)
99
100
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
101
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
102
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
103
104
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
105
(Aaron Bentley)
106
107
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
108
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
109
110
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
111
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
112
113
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
114
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
115
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
116
117
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
118
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
119
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
120
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
121
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
122
123
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
124
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
125
126
BUGFIXES:
127
128
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
129
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
130
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
131
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
132
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
133
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
134
135
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
136
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
137
138
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
139
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
140
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
141
142
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
143
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
144
145
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
146
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
147
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
148
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
149
150
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
151
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
152
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
153
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
154
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
155
156
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
157
158
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
159
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
160
161
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
162
163
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
164
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
165
166
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
167
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
168
169
DOCUMENTATION:
170
171
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
172
173
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
174
175
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
176
177
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
178
179
API BREAKS:
180
181
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
182
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
183
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
184
185
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
186
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
187
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
188
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
189
190
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
191
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
192
release. (James Westby)
193
194
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
195
(Andrew Bennetts)
196
197
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
198
199
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
200
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
201
202
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
203
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
204
205
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
206
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
207
208
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
209
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
210
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
211
212
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
213
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
214
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
215
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
216
217
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
218
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
219
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
220
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
221
222
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
223
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
224
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
225
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
226
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
227
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
228
229
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
230
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
231
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
232
233
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
234
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
235
236
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
237
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
238
(Robert Collins)
239
240
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
241
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
242
243
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
244
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
245
246
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
247
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
248
249
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
250
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
251
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
252
253
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
254
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
255
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
256
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
257
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
258
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
259
260
TESTING:
261
262
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
263
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
264
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
265
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
266
267
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
268
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
269
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
270
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
271
implement this).
272
(Vincent Ladeuil)
273
274
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
275
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
276
(Vincent Ladeuil)
277
278
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
279
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
280
281
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
282
283
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
284
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
285
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
286
287
INTERNALS:
288
289
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
290
291
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
292
(Martin Albisetti)
293
294
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
295
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
296
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
297
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
298
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
299
(Martin Pool, #109520)
300
301
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
302
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
303
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
304
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
305
306
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
307
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
308
309
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
310
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)
311
312
313
bzr 1.3 2008-03-20
314
------------------
315
316
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
317
318
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
319
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
320
features have been added.
321
322
TESTING:
323
324
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
325
directory names.
326
(#202778, Martin Pool)
327
328
329
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-03-16
330
---------------------
331
332
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
333
334
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
335
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
336
337
CHANGES:
338
339
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
340
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
341
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
342
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
343
(Robert Collins)
344
345
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
346
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
347
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
348
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
349
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
350
(Alexander Belchenko)
351
352
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
353
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
354
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
355
(Alexander Belchenko)
356
357
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
358
359
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
360
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
361
362
FEATURES:
363
364
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
365
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
366
367
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
368
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
369
(Jelmer Vernooij)
370
371
IMPROVEMENTS:
372
373
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
374
375
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
376
377
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
378
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
379
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
380
381
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
382
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
383
384
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
385
to. (Daniel Watkins)
386
387
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
388
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
389
(Alexander Belchenko)
390
391
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
392
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
393
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
394
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
395
396
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
397
(Daniel Watkins)
398
399
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
400
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
401
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
402
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
403
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
404
405
BUGFIXES:
406
407
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
408
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
409
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
410
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
411
412
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
413
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
414
415
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
416
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
417
418
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
419
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
420
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
421
422
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
423
(#198793, John Ferlito)
424
425
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
426
#196618)
427
428
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
429
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
430
431
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
432
433
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
434
435
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
436
symlinks (James Henstridge)
437
438
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
439
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
440
441
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
442
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
443
444
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
445
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
446
447
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
448
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
449
450
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
451
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
452
453
DOCUMENTATION:
454
455
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
456
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
457
458
API BREAKS:
459
460
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
461
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
462
(Alexander Belchenko)
463
464
TESTING:
465
466
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
467
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
468
(Robert Collins)
469
470
INTERNALS:
471
472
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
473
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
474
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
475
476
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
477
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
478
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
479
(Alexander Belchenko)
480
481
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
482
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
483
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
484
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
485
486
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
487
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
488
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
489
(Robert Collins)
490
491
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
492
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
493
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
494
495
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
496
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
497
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
498
499
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
500
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
501
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
502
format. (Robert Collins)

516
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
517
518
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
519
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
520
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
521
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
522
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
523
(Andrew Bennetts)
524
525
CHANGES:
526
527
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
528
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
529
530
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
531
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
532
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
533
534
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
535
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
536
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
537
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
538
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
539
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
540
(Aaron Bentley)
541
542
FEATURES:
543
544
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
545
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
546
547
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
548
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
549
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
550
(Robert Collins)
551
552
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
553
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
554
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
555
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
556
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
557
558
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
559
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
560
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
561
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
562
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
563
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
564
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
565
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
566
567
IMPROVEMENTS:
568
569
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
570
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
571
572
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
573
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
574
575
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
576
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
577
578
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
579
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
580
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
581
582
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
583
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
584
(John Arbash Meinel)
585
586
BUGFIXES:
587
588
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
589
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
590
591
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
592
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
593
594
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
595
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
596
597
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
598
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
599
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
600
601
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
602
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
603
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
604
605
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
606
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
607
608
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
609
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
610
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
611
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
612
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
613
unittest runner.
614
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
615
616
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
617
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
618
#185907)
619
620
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
621
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
622
623
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
624
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
625
626
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
627
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
628
629
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
630
more characters which should be considered valid.
631
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
632
633
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
634
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
635
636
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
637
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
638
639
API BREAKS:
640
641
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
642
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
643
644
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
645
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
646
(Martin Pool)
647
648
TESTING:
649
650
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
651
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
652
(Vincent Ladeuil)
653
654
INTERNALS:
655
656
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
657
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
658
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
659
660
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
661
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
662
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
663
664
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
665
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
666
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
667
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
668
669
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
670
671
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
672
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
673
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
674
server. (Robert Collins)
675
676
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
677
operate. (Robert Collins)
678
679
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
680
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
681
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
682
683
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
684
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
685
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
686
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
687
688
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
689
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
690
691
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
692
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
693
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
694
695
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
696
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
697
698
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
699
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
700
701
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
702
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
703
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
704
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

711
712
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
713
---------------------
714
715
CHANGES:
716
717
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
718
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
719
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
720
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
721
722
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
723
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
724
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
725
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
726
727
FEATURES:
728
729
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
730
(Lukáš Lalinský)
731
732
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
733
(Aaron Bentley)
734
735
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
736
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
737
738
IMPROVEMENTS:
739
740
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
741
#90049)
742
743
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
744
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
745
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
746
747
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
748
749
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
750
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
751
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
752
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
753
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
754
755
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
756
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
757
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
758
759
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
760
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
761
762
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
763
(Vincent Ladeuil)
764
765
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
766
767
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
768
769
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
770
(Aaron Bentley)
771
772
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
773
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
774
775
BUGFIXES:
776
777
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
778
(Martin Pool, #180208)
779
780
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
781
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
782
783
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
784
(Aaron Bentley)
785
786
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
787
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
788
789
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
790
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
791
792
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
793
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
794
795
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
796
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
797
798
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
799
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
800
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
801
802
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
803
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
804
805
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
806
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
807
(Aaron Bentley)
808
809
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
810
811
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
812
user:pass embedded in the urls.
813
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
814
815
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
816
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
817
818
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
819
(Aaron Bentley)
820
821
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
822
#148087)
823
824
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
825
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
826
827
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
828
#137681)
829
830
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
831
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
832
(Aaron Bentley)
833
834
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
835
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
836
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
837
838
DOCUMENTATION:
839
840
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
841
(Ian Clatworthy)
842
843
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
844
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
845
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
846
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
847
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
848
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
849
850
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
851
852
INTERNALS:
853
854
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
855
(Aaron Bentley)
856
857
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
858
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
859
860
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
861
862
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
863
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
864
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
865
Robert Collins)
866
867
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
868
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
869
870
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
871
(Vincent Ladeuil)
872
873
API BREAKS:
874
875
TESTING:
876
877
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
878
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
879
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
880
881
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
882
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
883
(Robert Collins)
884
885
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
886
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
887
888
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
889
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
890
891
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
892
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
893
894
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
895
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
896
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
897
898
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
899
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
900
901
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
902
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
903
904
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
905
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
906
(Vincent Ladeuil)
907
908
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
909
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
910
911
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
912
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

by mail to the mailing list.
940
(Martin Pool)

BUGFIXES:
943
944
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
945
946
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
947
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
948
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
949
feedback but also incur more latency.
950
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
951

957
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)

961
962
INTERNALS:
963
964
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
965
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
966
wraps its output in a StringIO.

973
IMPROVEMENTS:
974
975
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
976
977
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
978
(Aaron Bentley)
979
980
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
981
Nordhoff, #172612)
982
983
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
984
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
985
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
986
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
987
988
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
989
(Kent Gibson)
990
991
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
992
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
993
994
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
995
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
996
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
997
998
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
999
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1000
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1001
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1002
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1003
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1004
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1005
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1006
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
1007
1008
INTERNALS:
1009
1010
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
1011
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1012
1013
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
1014
1015
BUGFIXES:
1016
1017
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
1018
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
1019
1020
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
1021
filename to user.
1022
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1023
1024
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1025
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1026
required.
1027
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
1028
1029
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1030
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
1031
1032
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
1033
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
1034
1035
API BREAKS:
1036
1037
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
1038
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)

bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
1042
---------------------
1043
1044
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1045
1046
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1047
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1048
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1049
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1050
1051
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1052
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1053
1054
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1055
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1056
1057
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1058
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1059
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1060
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1061
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1062
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1063
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1064
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1065
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1066
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1067
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1068
from any tree without problems.
1069
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
1070
1071
CHANGES:
1072
1073
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1074
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1075
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1076
1077
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
1078
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
1079
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
1080
(Martin Pool)
1081
1082
FEATURES:
1083
1084
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
1085
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
1086
supported transports.
1087
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1088
1089
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
1090
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
1091
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
1092
1093
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1094
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1095
1096
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
1097
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
1098
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
1099
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
1100
1101
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
1102
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
1103
1104
PERFORMANCE:
1105
1106
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
1107
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
1108
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
1109
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1110
1111
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
1112
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
1113
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
1114
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
1115
1116
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
1117
(Robert Collins, #88319)
1118
1119
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
1120
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
1121
1122
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1123
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1124
1125
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1126
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1127
(Aaron Bentley)
1128
1129
IMPROVEMENTS:
1130
1131
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1132
(Aaron Bentley)
1133
1134
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1135
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1136
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1137
1138
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1139
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1140
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1141
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1142
1143
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1144
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1145
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1146
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

BUG FIXES:
1151
1152
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
1153
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
1154
1155
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
1156
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
1157
1158
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
1159
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
1160
1161
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
1162
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
1163
1164
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
1165
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
1166
1167
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
1168
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
1169
1170
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
1171
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
1172
1173
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
1174
(Aaron Bentley)
1175
1176
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
1177
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
1178
1179
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
1180
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
1181
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
1182
1183
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
1184
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
1185
1186
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
1187
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
1188
1189
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
1190
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
1191
1192
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
1193
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
1194
1195
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
1196
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
1197
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
1198
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
1199
on them.
1200
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1201
1202
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
1203
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1204
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
1205
1206
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
1207
(Robert Collins, #161240)
1208
1209
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
1210
to be reconciled.
1211
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1212
1213
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1214
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1215
1216
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1217
specify a port in urls.
1218
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1219
1220
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
1221
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
1222
1223
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
1224
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
1225
1226
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
1227
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
1228
1229
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
1230
(Robert Collins, #153789)
1231
1232
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
1233
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
1234
(Robert Collins, #165304).
1235
1236
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
1237
1238
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
1239
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
1240
1241
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
1242
Watkins, #152811)
1243
1244
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
1245
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
1246
1247
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
1248
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
1249
1250
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
1251
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
1252
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
1253
1254
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
1255
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
1256
1257
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
1258
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
1259
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
1260
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
1261
1262
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
1263
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
1264
1265
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
1266
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
1267
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
1268
1269
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
1270
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
1271
1272
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
1273
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
1274
1275
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
1276
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
1277
1278
API BREAKS:
1279
1280
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
1281
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
1282
1283
* The return value of
1284
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
1285
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
1286
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
1287
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
1288
1289
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
1290
(Robert Collins)
1291
1292
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
1293
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
1294
format.
1295
(Martin Pool)
1296
1297
INTERNALS:
1298
1299
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
1300
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
1301
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
1302
Bennetts)
1303
1304
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
1305
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
1306
1307
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

1323
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1324
1325
CHANGES:
1326
1327
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
1328
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
1329
1330
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
1331
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
1332
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
1333
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
1334
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
1335
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
1336
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
1337
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
1338
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
1339
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
1340
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
1341
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
1342
(Robert Collins)
1343
1344
FEATURES:
1345
1346
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
1347
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
1348
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
1349
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
1350
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
1351
for further details. (Robert Collins)
1352
1353
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
1354
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
1355
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
1356
(Robert Collins)
1357
1358
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
1359
1360
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
1361
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
1362
1363
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
1364
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
1365
(Aaron Bentley)
1366
1367
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
1368
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
1369
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
1370
1371
PERFORMANCE:
1372
1373
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
1374
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1375
1376
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
1377
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
1378
1379
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
1380
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
1381
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
1382
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
1383
1384
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
1385
(Robert Collins)
1386
1387
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
1388
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
1389
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
1390
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
1391
1392
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
1393
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
1394
1395
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
1396
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1397
1398
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
1399
the contents. (Robert Collins)
1400
1401
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
1402
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
1403
1404
IMPROVEMENTS:
1405
1406
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
1407
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
1408
1409
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
1410
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
1411
1412
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
1413
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
1414
1415
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
1416
(Martin Pool, #63894)
1417
1418
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
1419
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
1420
1421
DOCUMENTATION:
1422
1423
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
1424
1425
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
1426
(Ian Clatworthy)
1427
1428
BUG FIXES:
1429
1430
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
1431
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
1432
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
1433
1434
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
1435
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
1436
1437
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
1438
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
1439
1440
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
1441
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
1442
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
1443
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
1444
1445
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
1446
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
1447
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
1448
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
1449
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
1450
1451
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
1452
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
1453
paramiko.
1454
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
1455
1456
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1457
1458
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
1459
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
1460
1461
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
1462
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
1463
1464
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
1465
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
1466
1467
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
1468
contains a symbolic link.
1469
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
1470
1471
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
1472
(James Westby, #140615)
1473
1474
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
1475
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
1476
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
1477
1478
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
1479
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
1480
(Martin Pool, #144633)
1481
1482
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1483
1484
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
1485
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
1486
1487
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
1488
will remain opened.
1489
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
1490
1491
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
1492
directory to detect leaking tests.
1493
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
1494
1495
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
1496
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
1497
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
1498
1499
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
1500
(Rob Weir, #141629)
1501
1502
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
1503
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
1504
1505
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
1506
Merwe)
1507
1508
API BREAKS:
1509
1510
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
1511
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
1512
1513
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
1514
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
1515
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
1516
1517
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
1518
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
1519
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
1520
1521
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
1522
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
1523
1524
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
1525
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
1526
1527
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
1528
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
1529
(Martin Pool)
1530
1531
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
1532
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
1533
1534
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
1535
class that needs it.
1536
(Martin Pool)
1537
1538
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
1539
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
1540
1541
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
1542
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
1543
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
1544
1545
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
1546
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
1547
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
1548
(Robert Collins)
1549
1550
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
1551
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
1552
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
1553
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
1554
(Robert Collins)
1555
1556
INTERNALS:
1557
1558
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1559
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1560
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1561
1562
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1563
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1564
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1565
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1566
1567
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1568
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1569
(Robert Collins)
1570
1571
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1572
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1573
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1574
1575
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1576
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1577
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1578
1579
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1580
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1581
1582
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1583
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1584
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1585
1586
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1587
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1588
1589
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1590
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1591
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1592
1593
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1594
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1595
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1596
1597
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1598
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1599
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1600
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1601
1602
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1603
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1604
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1605
returned. (Robert Collins)
1606
1607
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1608
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1609
1610
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1611
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1612
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1613
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1614
(Robert Collins)
1615
1616
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1617
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1618
1619
TESTING:
1620
1621
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1622
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1623
1624
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1625
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1626
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1627
makes this behavior available to other users.
1628
(Martin Pool)
1629
1630
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1631
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
1632
1633
1634
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
1635
-------------------
1636
1637
BUG FIXES:
1638
1639
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1640
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1641
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1642
1643
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1644
1645
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1646
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1647
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1648
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1649
1650
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1651
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
1652
(Andrew Bennetts)
1653
1654
1655
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1656
----------------------
1657
1658
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
1659
in bzrlib/remote.py.
1660
1661
1662
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
1663
----------------------
1664
1665
CHANGES:
1666
1667
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1668
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1669
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1670
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1671
(Martin Pool)
1672
1673
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1674
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1675
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1676
(Ian Clatworthy)
1677
1678
FEATURES:
1679
1680
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1681
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1682
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1683
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1684
1685
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1686
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1687
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1688
1689
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1690
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1691
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1692
1693
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1694
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1695
1696
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1697
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1698
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1699
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1700
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1701
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1702
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1703
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1704
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1705
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1706
1707
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1708
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1709
1710
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1711
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1712
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1713
1714
BUG FIXES:
1715
1716
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1717
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1718
1719
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1720
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1721
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1722
1723
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1724
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1725
1726
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1727
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1728
1729
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1730
(Aaron Bentley)
1731
1732
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1733
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1734
1735
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1736
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1737
1738
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1739
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1740
1741
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1742
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1743
1744
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1745
1746
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1747
Watkins, #106726)
1748
1749
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1750
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1751
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1752
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1753
1754
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1755
1756
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1757
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1758
#133548)
1759
1760
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1761
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1762
1763
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1764
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1765
#116143)
1766
1767
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1768
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1769
1770
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1771
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1772
1773
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1774
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1775
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1776
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1777
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1778
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1779
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1780
1781
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1782
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1783
1784
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1785
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1786
1787
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1788
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1789
1790
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1791
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1792
1793
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1794
connections.
1795
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1796
1797
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1798
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1799
1800
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1801
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1802
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1803
1804
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1805
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1806
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1807
1808
IMPROVEMENTS:
1809
1810
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1811
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1812
1813
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1814
(Aaron Bentley)
1815
1816
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1817
(Aaron Bentley)
1818
1819
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1820
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1821
1822
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1823
1824
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1825
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1826
1827
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1828
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1829
1830
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1831
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1832
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1833
space). (Robert Collins)
1834
1835
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1836
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1837
(Ian Clatworthy)
1838
1839
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1840
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1841
1842
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1843
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1844
1845
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1846
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1847
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1848
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1849
1850
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1851
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1852
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1853
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1854
1855
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1856
(Ian Clatworthy)
1857
1858
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1859
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1860
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1861
1862
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1863
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1864
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1865
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1866
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1867
1868
API BREAKS:
1869
1870
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1871
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1872
1873
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1874
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1875
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1876
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1877
affected. (Robert Collins)
1878
1879
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1880
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1881
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1882
(Robert Collins)
1883
1884
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1885
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1886
1887
TESTING:
1888
1889
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1890
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1891
1892
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1893
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1894
1895
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1896
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1897
1898
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1899
(Aaron Bentley)
1900
1901
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1902
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1903
1904
INTERNALS:
1905
1906
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1907
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1908
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1909
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1910
1911
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1912
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1913
1914
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1915
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1916
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1917
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1918
1919
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1920
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1921
present. (Robert Collins)
1922
1923
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1924
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1925
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1926
API. (Robert Collins)
1927
1928
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1929
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1930
(Robert Collins)
1931
1932
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1933
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1934
1935
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1936
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1937
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1938
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1939
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1940
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1941
1942
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1943
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1944
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1945
1946
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1947
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1948
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1949
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1950
protocol.
1951
1952
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1953
(Aaron Bentley)
1954
1955
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1956
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1957
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1958
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1959
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1960
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1961
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1962
1963
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1964
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1965
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1966
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1967
1968
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1969
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1970
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1971
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1972
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1973
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1974
1975
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1976
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1977
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1978
1979
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1980
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

-------------------
1985
1986
IMPROVEMENTS:
1987
1988
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1989
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1990
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1991
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1992
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1993
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1994
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

1998
API CHANGES:
1999
2000
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2001
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2002
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
2003

2005
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
2006
----------------------
2007
2008
BUGFIXES:
2009
2010
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2011
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2012
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2013
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2014
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2015
2016
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2017
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2018
2019
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2020
anymore.
2021
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2022
2023
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2024
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2025
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2026
2027
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2028
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2029
#111664)
2030
2031
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2032
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2033
2034
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2035
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2036
2037
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2038
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2039
2040
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2041
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2042
2043
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2044
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2045
2046
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2047
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2048
2049
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2050
(Aaron Bentley)
2051
2052
IMPROVEMENTS:
2053
2054
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2055
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2056
2057
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2058
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2059
2060
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2061
the repository (Robert Collins)
2062
2063
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2064
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2065
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2066
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2067
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2068
2069
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2070
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2071
2072
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2073
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2074
(John Arbash Meinel)
2075
2076
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2077
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2078
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2079
about 10%).
2080
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2081
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2082
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2083
(John Arbash Meinel)
2084
2085
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2086
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2087
(Robert Collins)
2088
2089
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2090
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2091
2092
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2093
(Ian Clatworthy)
2094
2095
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2096
2097
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2098
2099
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2100
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2101
2102
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2103
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2104
Meinel)
2105
2106
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2107
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2108
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2109
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2110
2111
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2112
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
2113
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
2114
2115
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
2116
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
2117
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
2118
2119
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2120
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2121
2122
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2123
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2124
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2125
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2126
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2127
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2128
(Ian Clatworthy)
2129
2130
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2131
(Alexander Belchenko)
2132
2133
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2134
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2135
2136
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2137
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2138
2139
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2140
2141
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2142
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2143
2144
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2145
2146
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2147
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2148
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2149
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2150
2151
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2152
2153
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2154
(Robert Collins)
2155
2156
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2157
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2158
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2159
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2160
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2161
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2162
2163
INTERNALS:
2164
2165
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2166
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2167
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2168
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2169
2170
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2171
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2172
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2173
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2174
tests have been refactored too.
2175
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2176
2177
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2178
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2179
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2180
list, it will.
2181
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2182
2183
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2184
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2185
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2186
2187
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2188
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2189
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2190
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2191
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2192
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2193
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2194
2195
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2196
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2197
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2198
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2199
(John Arbash Meinel)
2200
2201
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2202
functionality for testing.
2203
2204
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2205
2206
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2207
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2208
2209
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2210
2211
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2212
(Robert Collins)
2213
2214
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2215
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2216
2217
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2218
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2219
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2220
2221
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2222
(Aaron Bentley)
2223
2224
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2225
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2226
2227
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2228
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2229
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2230
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2231
2232
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2233
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2234
2235
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2236
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2237
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2238
2239
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2240
(Marius Kruger)
2241
2242
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2243
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2244
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2245
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2246
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
2247
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2248
2249
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
2250
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
2251
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
2252
many files. (Robert Collins)
2253
2254
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
2255
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
2256
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
2257
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
2258
2259
TESTING:
2260
2261
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
2262
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
2263
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
2264
2265
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
2266
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
2267
2268
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
2269
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
2270
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
2285
2286
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
2287
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
2288
2289
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
2290
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
2291
(James Westby, #122656)
2292
2293
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
2294
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
2295
2296
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
2297
authentication header.
2298
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
2299
2300
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
2301
2302
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
2303
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)

* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
2308
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)

* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
2311
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
2312
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
2313
2314
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
2315
individually and as part of revision ranges.
2316
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
2317
2318
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
2319
(Martin Pool, #109169)
2320
2321
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
2322
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
2323
2324
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
2325
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
2326
2327
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2328
2329
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
2330
2331
IMPROVEMENTS:
2332
2333
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
2334
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
2335
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
2336
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
2337

2338
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
2339
2340
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
2341
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
2342
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
2343
2344
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
2345
(Elliot Murphy)
2346
2347
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
2348
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
2349
2350
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
2351
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
2352
2353
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
2354
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
2355
2356
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
2357
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
2358
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
2359
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
2360
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
2361
2362
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
2363
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
2364
2365
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
2366
can be slow it is useful feedback).
2367
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
2368
2369
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
2370
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
2371
2372
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
2373
2374
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
2375
output. (Aaron Bentley)
2376
2377
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
2378
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
2379
(Robert Collins)
2380
2381
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
2382
(Martin Pool)
2383
2384
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
2385
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
2386
2387
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
2388
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
2389
2390
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
2391
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
2392
2393
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
2394
2395
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
2396
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
2397
2398
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
2399
(Andrew Bennetts)
2400
2401
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2402
2403
* Testing cleanups -
2404
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2405
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
2406
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2407
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
2408
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2409
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
2410
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2411
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
2412
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2413
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
2414
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
2415
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
2416
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2417
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
2418
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2419
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
2420
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
2421
(Robert Collins)
2422
2423
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
2424
2425
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
2426
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
2427
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
2428
2429
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
2430
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
2431
2432
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
2433
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2434
2435
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
2436
2437
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
2438
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
2439
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
2440
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
2441
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
2442
same location. (Robert Collins)
2443
2444
INTERNALS:
2445
2446
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
2447
2448
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
2449
2450
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
2451
2452
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
2453
(Martin Pool)
2454
2455
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
2456
(Martin Pool)
2457
2458
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
2459
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
2460
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
2461
2462
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
2463
2464
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
2465
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
2466
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
2467
2468
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
2469
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
2470
2471
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
2472
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
2473
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
2474
2475
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
2476
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
2477
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
2478
2479
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
2480
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
2481
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
2482
2483
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
2484
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
2485
Martin Pool)
2486
2487
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
2488
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
2489
2490
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
2491
(Alexander Belchenko)
2492
2493
TESTING:
2494
2495
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
2496
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
2497
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
2498
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2499
2500
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
2501
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
2502
testing. (Robert Collins)
2503
2504
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
2505
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
2506
2507
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
2508
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
2509
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
2510
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
2511
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
2512
attribute during the test parameterisation in
2513
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
2514
2515
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
2516
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
2517
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
2518
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
2519
2520
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
2521
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
2522
2523
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
2524
avoid useless cloning.

2543
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2544
2545
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
2546
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
2547
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
2548
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
2549
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
2550
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
2551
and unlock() like so::
2552
2553
work_tree.lock_read()
2554
try:
2555
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
2556
finally:
2557
work_tree.unlock()
2558
2559
INTERNALS:
2560
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
2561
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
2562
object.
2563
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
2564
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
2565
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
2566
2567
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2568
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2569
too. (Robert Collins)
2570
2571
IMPROVEMENTS:
2572
2573
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
2574
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
2575
Aaron Bentley)
2576
2577
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
2578
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
2579
2580
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
2581
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
2582
2583
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
2584
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
2585
understanding what changes have occurred
2586
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
2587
2588
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
2589
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
2590
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2591
2592
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
2593
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
2594
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
2595
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2596
2597
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2598
#56322)
2599
2600
BUGFIXES:
2601
2602
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
2603
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
2604
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
2605
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
2606
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
2607
2608
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2609
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2610
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2611
2612
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
2613
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
2614
2615
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
2616
into account.
2617
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2618
2619
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2620
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2621
2622
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2623
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2624
2625
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2626
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2627
2628
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2629
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2630
2631
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2632
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2633
2634
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2635
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2636
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

2638
bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
2639
--------------------
2640
2641
BUGFIXES:
2642
2643
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2644
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2645
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2646
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2647
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2648
2649
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2650
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2651
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2652
2653
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2654
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2655
2656
IMPROVEMENTS:
2657
2658
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2659
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2660
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2661
2662
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2663
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2664
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2665
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

2667
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
2668
-----------------------
2669
2670
BUGFIXES:
2671
2672
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2673
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2674
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2675
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2676
2677
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2678
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2679
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
2680
2681
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2682
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
2683
2684
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
2685
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
2686
2687
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
2688
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

2690
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
2691
-----------------------
2692
2693
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2694
2695
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
2696
it could be recovered again.
2697
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
2698
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
2699
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
2700
but not delete it.
2701
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
2702
files.
2703
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
2704
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
2705
2706
IMPROVEMENTS:
2707
2708
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
2709
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
2710
2711
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
2712
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
2713
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
2714
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
2715
2716
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
2717
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
2718
2719
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
2720
tests with names that match that regular expression.
2721
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
2722
2723
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
2724
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
2725
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
2726
2727
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
2728
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
2729
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
2730
2731
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
2732
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
2733
Robert Collins)
2734
2735
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
2736
Pool)
2737
2738
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
2739
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
2740
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
2741
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
2742
2743
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
2744
(Robert Collins)
2745
2746
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
2747
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
2748
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
2749
(Robert Collins)
2750
2751
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
2752
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
2753
2754
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
2755
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
2756
2757
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
2758
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
2759
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
2760
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
2761
(Robert Collins)
2762
2763
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
2764
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
2765
2766
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
2767
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2768
2769
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
2770
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
2771
(Robert Collins, #107125).
2772
2773
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
2774
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
2775
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
2776
2777
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
2778
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
2779
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2780
2781
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
2782
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
2783
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
2784
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
2785
2786
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
2787
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
2788
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
2789
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
2790
2791
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
2792
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
2793
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
2794
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
2795
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
2796
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
2797
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
2798
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
2799
header(s).

INTERNALS:
2803
2804
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
2805
code paths. (Robert Collins)
2806
2807
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
2808
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
2809
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
2810
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
2811
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2812
2813
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
2814
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
2815
2816
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
2817
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
2818
2819
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
2820
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
2821
2822
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
2823
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
2824
2825
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
2826
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
2827
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
2828
(Robert Collins).
2829
2830
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
2831
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
2832
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
2833
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
2834
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
2835
(Robert Collins)
2836
2837
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
2838
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
2839
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
2840
2841
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
2842
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
2843
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2844
2845
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
2846
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
2847
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
2848
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2849
2850
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
2851
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
2852
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
2853
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
2854
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
2855
2856
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
2857
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
2858
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
2859
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2860
2861
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
2862
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2863
2864
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
2865
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
2866
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
2867
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
2868
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
2869
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
2870
2871
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
2872
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
2873
2874
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
2875
help. (Robert Collins)
2876
2877
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
2878
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2879
2880
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
2881
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
2882
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
2883
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
2884
(John Arbash Meinel)
2885
2886
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
2887
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
2888
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
2889
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
2890
useful. (Robert Collins)
2891
2892
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
2893

BUGFIXES:

2897
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
2898
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
2899
2900
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
2901
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
2902
2903
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
2904
properly and is no longer beneficial.
2905
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
2906
2907
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2908
(Aaron Bentley)
2909
2910
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2911
the file, and does it faster.
2912
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2913
2914
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2915
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2916
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2917
2918
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2919
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2920
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2921
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2922
2923
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2924
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2925
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2926
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2927
2928
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2929
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2930
2931
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2932
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2933
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2934
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2935
Arbash Meinel)
2936
2937
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2938
2939
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2940
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2941
2942
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2943
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2944
2945
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2946
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2947
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2948
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2949
security hole.
2950
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2951
2952
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2953
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2954
2955
TESTING:
2956
2957
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2958
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2959
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2960
2961
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2962
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2963
2964
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2965
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2966
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2967
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2968
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2969
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2970
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2971
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2972
2973
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2974
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2975
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2976
2977
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2978
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2979
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2980
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2981
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2982
access.
2983
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2984
2985
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2986
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2987
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2988
2989
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2990
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
3011

3012
(Martin Pool)
3013
3014
IMPROVEMENTS:
3015
3016
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3017
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3018
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3019
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3020
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3021
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3022
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3023
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3024
path. (vila)
3025
3026
INTERNALS:
3027
3028
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3029
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3030
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3031
3032
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3033
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3034
(Martin Pool)
3035
3036
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3037
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3038
(John Arbash Meinel)
3039
3040
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3041
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3042
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3043
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3044
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3045
3046
BUGFIXES:
3047

3051
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3052
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3053
3054
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3055
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3056
3057
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3058
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3059
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3060
3061
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3062
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3063
3064
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3065
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3066
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3067
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3068
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3069
3070
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3071
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3072
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3073
3074

3080
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3081
3082
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3083
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3084
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3085
3086
IMPROVEMENTS:
3087
3088
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3089
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3090
3091
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3092
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3093
3094
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3095
3096
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3097
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3098
3099
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3100
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3101
3102
INTERNALS:
3103
3104
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3105
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
3106
3107
BUGFIXES:
3108
3109
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3110
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3111
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3112
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3113
3114
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3115
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3116
3117
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3118
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3119
3120
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3121
(Marien Zwart)
3122
3123
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
3128
-----------------------
3129
3130
SURPRISES:
3131
3132
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
3133
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
3134
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
3135
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
3136
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
3137
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
3138
3139
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
3140
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
3141
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
3142
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
3143
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
3144
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
3145
development.
3146
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3147
3148
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
3149
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
3150
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
3151
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
3152
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
3153
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
3154
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
3155
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3156
3157
IMPROVEMENTS:
3158
3159
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3160
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3161
3162
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
3163
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
3164
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
3165
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
3166
does exist.
3167
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
3168
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
3169
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
3170
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
3171
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
3172
3173
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
3174
(Aaron Bentley)
3175
3176
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3177
(Aaron Bentley)
3178
3179
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3180
(Robert Collins)
3181
3182
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3183
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3184
(Aaron Bentley)
3185
3186
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3187
(Aaron Bentley)
3188
3189
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3190
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3191
3192
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3193
directory. (Martin Pool)
3194
3195
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3196
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3197
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3198
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3199
3200
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3201
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3202
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3203
in docs/configuration.txt.
3204
3205
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3206
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
3207
bind location.
3208
3209
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
3210
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
3211
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
3212
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
3213
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
3214
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3215
3216
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3217
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3218
3219
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3220
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3221
3222
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
3223
(Aaron Bentley)
3224
3225
INTERNALS:
3226
3227
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
3228
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
3229
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
3230
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
3231
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
3232
(John Arbash Meinel)
3233
3234
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
3235
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
3236
(Aaron Bentley)
3237
3238
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
3239
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
3240
(John Arbash Meinel)
3241
3242
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
3243
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
3244
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
3245
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
3246
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
3247
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
3248
3249
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
3250
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
3251
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
3252
3253
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
3254
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
3255
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
3256
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
3257
repository.
3258
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3259
3260
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
3261
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
3262
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
3263
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
3264
3265
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
3266
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
3267
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
3268
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
3269
3270
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
3271
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
3272
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
3273
3274
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
3275
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
3276
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
3277
3278
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
3279
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
3280
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
3281
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
3282
3283
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
3284
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
3285
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
3286
3287
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
3288
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
3289
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
3290
3291
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
3292
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
3293
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
3294
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
3295
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
3296
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
3297
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
3298
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
3299
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
3302
3303
BUGFIXES:
3304
3305
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
3306
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
3307
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
3308
3309
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
3310
(Aaron Bentley)
3311
3312
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
3313
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
3314
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
3315
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
3316
3317
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
3318
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
3319
#83954).
3320
3321
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
3322
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
3323
3324
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
3325
3326
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
3327
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
3328
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
3329
3330
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
3331
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
3332
3333
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
3334
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
3335
3336
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
3337
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
3338
3339
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
3340
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
3341
3342
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
3343
3344
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
3345
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
3346
3347
TESTING:
3348
3349
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
3350
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

3356
IMPROVEMENTS:
3357
3358
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
3359
3360
BUG FIXES:
3361
3362
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
3363
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
3364
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
3365
3366
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
3367
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
3368
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

3371
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
3372
-----------------------
3373
3374
IMPROVEMENTS:
3375
3376
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
3377
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
3378
server, then you can write over the http connection.
3379
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3380
3381
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
3382
(Marius Kruger)
3383
3384
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
3385
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
3386
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3387
3388
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
3389
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
3390
3391
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
3392
(Aaron Bentley)
3393
3394
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
3395
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
3396
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
3397
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
3398
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
3399
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
3400
3401
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
3402
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
3403
should enable you to do::
3404
3405
[/home/user/project]
3406
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
3407
push_location:policy = appendpath
3408
3409
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
3410
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
3411
(James Henstridge)
3412
3413
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
3414
for each file. For example::
3415
3416
$ bzr status --short
3417
A foo
3418
A bar
3419
D baz
3420
? wooley
3421
3422
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
3423
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
3424
3425
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
3426
3427
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
3428
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
3429
3430
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
3431
3432
INTERNALS:
3433
3434
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
3435
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
3436
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
3437
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
3438
3439
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
3440
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
3441
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
3442
3443
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3444
3445
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
3446
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
3447
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
3448
(Alexander Belchenko)
3449
3450
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
3451
Pool)
3452
3453
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
3454
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
3455
3456
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
3457
3458
BUG FIXES:
3459
3460
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
3461
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
3462
3463
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
3464
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
3465
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
3466
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
3467
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
3468
3469
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
3470
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
3471
3472
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
3473
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
3474
3475
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
3476
matcher.
3477
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
3478
3479
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
3480
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
3481
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
3482
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
3483
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
3484
3485
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
3486
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
3487
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
3488
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
3489
3490
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
3491
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
3492
3493
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
3494
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
3495
3496
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
3497
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
3498

* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
3512
3513
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
3514
tree from a branch.
3515
(Daniel Silverstone)
3516
3517
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
3518
operations are substantially faster.
3519
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
3520
3521
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
3522
tree from some other url. For example:
3523
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
3524
(Daniel Silverstone)
3525
3526
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
3527
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
3528
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
3529
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
3530
3531
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
3532
(Andrew Bennetts)
3533
3534
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
3535
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
3536
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
3537
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
3538
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
3539
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
3540
3541
INTERNALS:
3542
3543
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
3544
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
3545
(Martin Pool)
3546
3547
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3548
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3549
(John Arbash Meinel)
3550
3551
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
3552
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
3553
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
3554
(John Arbash Meinel)
3555
3556
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
3557
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3558
3559
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3560
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3561
3562
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3563
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3564
Bennetts)
3565
3566
BUG FIXES:
3567
3568
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
3569
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
3570
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
3571
3572
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
3573
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
3574
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
3575
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
3576
3577
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3578
3579
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3580
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3581
3582
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3583
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3584
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
3585
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3586
3587
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3588
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3589
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3590
3591
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3592
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3593
them as full references rather than integers.
3594
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3595
3596
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3597
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3598
3599
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3600
3601
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3602
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3603
3604
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3605
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3606
3607
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3608
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3609
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3610
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3611
3612
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3613
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3614
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3615
3616
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3617
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3618
3619
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3620
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3621
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3622
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3623
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3624
3625
TESTING:
3626
3627
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3628
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

3640
-----------------------
3641
3642
IMPROVEMENTS:
3643
3644
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3645
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3646
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3647
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3648
3649
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3650
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3651
3652
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3653
3654
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3655
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3656
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3657
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3658
3659
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3660
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3661
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3662
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3663
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3664
3665
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3666
3667
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3668
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3669
3670
INTERNALS:
3671
3672
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3673
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3674
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3675
3676
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3677
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3678
(John Arbash Meinel)
3679
3680
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3681
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3682
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3683
3684
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3685
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3686
(Aaron Bentley)
3687
3688
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3689
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3690

* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3693
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3694
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3695
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3696
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3697
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3698
3699
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3700
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3701
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3702
(Robert Collins)
3703
3704
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3705
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3706
3707
BUG FIXES:
3708
3709
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3710
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3711
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3712
#63360, #66349)
3713
3714
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3715
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3716
3717
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3718
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3719
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3720
3721
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3722
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3723
3724
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3725
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3726
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3727
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3728
3729
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3730
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3731
3732
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3733
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3734
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3735
3736
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3737
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3738
3739
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3740
3741
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3742
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3743
#32054)
3744
3745
TESTING:
3746
3747
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3748
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3749
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3750
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3751
3752
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3753
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3754
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3755
3756
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
3757
--------------------
3758
3759
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
3760
3761
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
3762
-----------------------
3763
3764
BUG FIXES:
3765
3766
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
3767
3768
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
3769
Arbash Meinel).
3770
3771
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
3772
-----------------------
3773
3774
IMPROVEMENTS:
3775
3776
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3777
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3778
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3779
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3780
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3781
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3782
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3783
3784
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3785
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3786
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3787
3788
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3789
3790
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3791
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3792
3793
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3794
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3795
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3796
(Robert Collins)
3797
3798
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3799
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3800
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3801
(John Arbash Meinel)
3802
3803
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3804
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3805
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3806
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3807
Pool)
3808
3809
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3810
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3811
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
3812
(John Arbash Meinel)
3813
3814
BUG FIXES:
3815
3816
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
3817
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
3818
3819
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3820
3821
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3822
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3823
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
3824
3825
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3826
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
3827
3828
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3829
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3830
3831
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3832
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3833
3834
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
3835
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
3836
3837
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3838
3839
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3840
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3841
3842
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3843
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3844
3845
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3846
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3847
3848
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3849
(John Arbash Meinel)
3850
3851
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3852
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3853
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3854
3855
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3856
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3857
3858
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3859
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3860
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3861
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3862
3863
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3864
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3865
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
3866
3867
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
3868
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
3869
3870
PORTABILITY:
3871
3872
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3873
3874
INTERNALS:
3875
3876
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3877
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3878
(John Arbash Meinel)
3879
3880
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3881
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3882
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3883
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3884
3885
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3886
(Andrew Bennetts)
3887
3888
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3889
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3890
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3891
3892
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3893
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3894
3895
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3896
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3897
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3898
3899
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3900
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3901
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3902
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3903
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3904
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3905
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3906
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3907
caller to repeat their request.
3908
(John Arbash Meinel)
3909
3910
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3911
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3912
3913
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3914
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3915
3916
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3917
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3918
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3919
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3920
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3921
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3922
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3923
3924
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3925
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3926
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3927
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3928
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3929
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3930
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3931
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3932
(Robert Collins)
3933
3934
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3935
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3936
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3937
3938
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3939
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3940
3941
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3942
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3943
3944
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3945
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3946
3947
TESTING:
3948
3949
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3950
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3951
3952
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3953
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3954
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3955
3956
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3957
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3958
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3959
3960
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
3961
--------------------
3962
3963
IMPROVEMENTS:
3964
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3965
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3966
3967
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3968
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3969
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3970
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3971
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3972
3973
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3974
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3975
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3976
3977
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3978
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3979
3980
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3981
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3982
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3983
3984
BUG FIXES:
3985
3986
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3987
3988
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3989
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
3990
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
3991
3992
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
3993
3994
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
3995
3996
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
3997
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
3998
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
3999
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
4000
4001
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
4002
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
4003
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
4004
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
4005
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
4006
4007
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
4008
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
4009
4010
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
4011
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
4012
4013
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
4014
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
4015
4016
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
4017
in handling of revision properties.
4018
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
4019
4020
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
4021
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
4022
4023
INTERNALS:
4024
4025
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
4026
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
4027
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
4028
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
4029
(John Arbash Meinel)
4030
4031
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
4032
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
4033
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4034
4035
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4036
---------------------
4037
4038
SURPRISES:
4039
4040
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
4041
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
4042
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
4043
specific one '.bzrignore'.
4044
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
4045
a more conservative list than the old default.
4046
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
4047
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
4048
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
4049
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
4050
4051
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4052
to more locations than just branch locations.
4053
(Aaron Bentley)
4054
4055
IMPROVEMENTS:
4056
4057
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
4058
revno:N:branch. For example,
4059
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
4060
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4061
4062
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
4063
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
4064
the path of a file that has been versioned.
4065
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
4066
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
4067
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
4068
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
4069
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
4070
#42517, #42514)
4071
4072
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
4073
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
4074
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
4075
(Malone #3507)
4076
4077
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
4078
(Alexander Belchenko)
4079
4080
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
4081
4082
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
4083
(Robert Collins).
4084
4085
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
4086
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
4087
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
4088
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
4089
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
4090
(John Arbash Meinel)
4091
4092
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
4093
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
4094
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
4095
grained analysis of performance.
4096
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4097
4098
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
4099
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
4100
4101
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
4102
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
4103
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
4104
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
4105
file. (Robert Collins).
4106
4107
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
4108
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
4109
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
4110
4111
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
4112
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
4113
Matthieu Moy)
4114
4115
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
4116
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
4117
4118
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
4119
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
4120
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
4121
the same way you would apply another branch.
4122
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4123
4124
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
4125
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
4126
4127
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
4128
(Michael Ellerman)
4129
4130
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
4131
(Aaron Bentley)
4132
4133
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
4134
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
4135
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
4136
4137
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
4138
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
4139
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
4140
4141
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
4142
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
4143
4144
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
4145
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
4146
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
4147
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
4148
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
4149
4150
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
4151
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
4152
4153
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
4154
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
4155
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
4156
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
4157
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
4158
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
4159
branch is as much as 4x faster.
4160
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
4161
4162
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
4163
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
4164
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
4165
4166
BUG FIXES:
4167
4168
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4169
tests not to run.
4170
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4171
4172
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4173
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4174
4175
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4176
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4177
4178
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4179
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4180
4181
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4182
4183
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4184
(John Arbash Meinel)
4185
4186
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4187
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4188
4189
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4190
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4191
and y.
4192
4193
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4194
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4195
4196
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4197
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4198
4199
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4200
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4201
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4202
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4203
4204
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4205
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4206
4207
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4208
4209
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4210
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4211
4212
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4213
4214
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4215
4216
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4217
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4218
4219
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4220
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4221
4222
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4223
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4224
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4225
4226
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4227
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4228
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4229
4230
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4231
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4232
4233
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4234
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4235
4236
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4237
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4238
4239
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4240
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4241
4242
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4243
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
4244
4245
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
4246
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
4247
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
4248
4249
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
4250
4251
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
4252
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
4253
4254
INTERNALS:
4255
4256
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
4257
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
4258
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
4259
4260
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
4261
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
4262
4263
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
4264
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
4265
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4266
4267
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
4268
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4269
4270
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
4271
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
4272
(Martin Pool)
4273
4274
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
4275
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
4276
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4277
4278
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
4279
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
4280
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4281
4282
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
4283
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
4284
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
4285
4286
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
4287
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
4288
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
4289
4290
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
4291
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
4292
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
4293
4294
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
4295
instead. (Robert Collins)
4296
4297
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
4313
4314
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
4315
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4316
4317
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
4318
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

CHANGES:
4331
4332
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check

4335
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
4336
4337
NEW FEATURES:
4338
4339
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into

4354
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
4355
-------------------
4356
4357
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4358
4359
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
4360
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
4361
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
4362
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
4363
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
4364
will keep the same format.
4365
4366
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
4367
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
4368
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
4369
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
4370
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
4371
4372
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
4373
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
4374
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
4375
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
4376
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
4377
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
4378
indicating the current revision of the branch.
4379
4380
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
4381
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
4382
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
4383
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
4384
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
4385
4386
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
4387
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
4388
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
4389
arrangement.
4390
4391
4392
IMPROVEMENTS:
4393
4394
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
4395
convention. Paths now take the form::
4396
4397
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
4398
or
4399
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
4400
4401
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
4402
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
4403
4404
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
4405
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
4406
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
4407
4408
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
4409
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
4410
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
4411
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
4412
4413
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
4414
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
4415
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
4416
4417
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
4418
4419
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
4420
4421
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
4422
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
4423
commits::
4424
4425
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
4426
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
4427
| xargs bzr re-sign
4428
4429
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
4430
4431
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
4432
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
4433
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
4434
(Robert Collins)
4435
4436
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
4437
4438
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
4439
4440
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
4441
'.moved'.
4442
4443
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
4444
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
4445
4446
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
4447
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
4448
Daniel Silverstone)
4449
4450
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
4451
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
4452
Martin Pool)
4453
4454
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
4455
4456
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
4457
4458
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
4459
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
4460
4461
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
4462
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
4463
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
4464
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
4465
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
4466
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
4467
4468
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
4469
4470
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
4471
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
4472
(Robert Collins)
4473
4474
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
4475
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
4476
4477
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
4478
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
4479
4480
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
4481
4482
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
4483
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
4484
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
4485
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
4486
specification by Martin Pool.
4487
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
4488
4489
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
4490
Belchenko)
4491
4492
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
4493
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4494
4495
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
4496
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
4497
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
4498
4499
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
4500
4501
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
4502
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
4503
(Robert Collins)
4504
4505
CHANGES:
4506
4507
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
4508
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4509
4510
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
4511
4512
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
4513
4514
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
4515
(Olaf Conradi)
4516
4517
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
4518
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
4519
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
4520
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
4521
4522
INTERNALS:
4523
4524
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
4525
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
4526
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
4527
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4528
4529
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
4530
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
4531
tried. (Martin Pool)
4532
4533
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
4534
(Martin Pool)
4535
4536
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
4537
4538
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
4539
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
4540
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
4541
4542
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
4543
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
4544
4545
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
4546
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
4547
paths. (Robert Collins)
4548
4549
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
4550
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
4551
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
4552
4553
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
4554
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
4555
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
4556
4557
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4558
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4559
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4560
4561
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4562
(Olaf Conradi)
4563
4564
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4565
(Olaf Conradi)
4566
4567
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4568
4569
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4570
4571
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
4572
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
4573
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
4574
(Robert Collins)
4575
4576
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4577
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4578
4579
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
4580
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
4581
check. (Robert Collins)
4582
4583
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4584
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4585
4586
TESTING:
4587
4588
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4589
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4590
4591
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4592
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4593
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4594
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4595
4596
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4597
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4598
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4599
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4600
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4601
4602
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4603
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4604
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4605
4606
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4607
4608
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4609
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
4612
------------------
4613
4614
CHANGES:
4615
4616
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4617
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4618
4619
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4620
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4621
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4622
(Johan Rydberg)
4623
4624
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4625
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4626
4627
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4628
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4629
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4630
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4631
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4632
4633
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4634
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4635
used. (Robert Collins)
4636
4637
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4638
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4639
(James Henstridge)
4640
4641
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4642
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4643
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4644
4645
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4646
ignore list.
4647
4648
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4649
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4650
4651
IMPROVEMENTS:
4652
4653
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4654
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4655
4656
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4657
4658
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4659
4660
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4661
tree. (Robert Collins)
4662
4663
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4664
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4665
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4666
(Robert Collins)
4667
4668
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4669
that they be kept.
4670
4671
* Tweaks to short log printing
4672
4673
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4674
(Aaron Bentley)
4675
4676
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4677
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4678
4679
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4680
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4681
4682
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4683
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4684
4685
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
4686
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4687
settings. (Magnus Therning)
4688
4689
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
4690
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4691
4692
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4693
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4694
requests.
4695
4696
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4697
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4698
4699
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
4700
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
4701
4702
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
4703
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
4704
4705
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
4706
(Denys Duchier)
4707
4708
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
4709
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4710
4711
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4712
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4713
4714
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4715
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4716
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
4717
4718
BUG FIXES:
4719
4720
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
4721
4722
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4723
4724
* Error when run with -OO
4725
4726
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
4727
(Martin Pool)
4728
4729
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4730
4731
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4732
4733
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4734
ignored by diff and status
4735
4736
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4737
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
4738
4739
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
4740
4741
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4742
4743
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4744
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4745
4746
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4747
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4748
4749
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4750
(Harald Meland)
4751
4752
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4753
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4754
4755
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4756
4757
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4758
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4759
4760
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4761
(Martin Pool)
4762
4763
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4764
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4765
4766
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4767
4768
TESTING:
4769
4770
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4771
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4772
4773
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4774
4775
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4776
4777
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4778
4779
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4780
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4781
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4782
4783
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4784
4785
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4786
(John Arbash Meinel)
4787
4788
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4789
4790
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4791
If adding a new test script please add that to
4792
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4793
4794
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4795
imported. (Martin Pool)
4796
4797
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4798
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4799
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4800
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4801
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4802
(Robert Collins)
4803
4804
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4805
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4806
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4807
4808
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4809
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4810
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4811
4812
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4813
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4814
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4815
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4816
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4817
(Robert Collins).
4818
4819
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4820
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4821
(Robert Collins).
4822
4823
INTERNALS:
4824
4825
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4826
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4827
4828
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4829
function. (Robert Collins)
4830
4831
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4832
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4833
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4834
4835
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4836
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4837
(Robert Collins)
4838
4839
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4840
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4841
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4842
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4843
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4844
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4845
version. (Robert Collins)
4846
4847
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4848
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4849
4850
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4851
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4852
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4853
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4854
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4855
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4856
4857
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4858
(Robert Collins)
4859
4860
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4861
4862
add()
4863
commit()
4864
move()
4865
rename_one()
4866
unknowns()
4867
4868
(Robert Collins)
4869
4870
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4871
4872
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4873
4874
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4875
Pool)
4876
4877
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4878
query method. (Robert Collins)
4879
4880
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4881
(Denys Duchier)
4882
4883
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4884
(Michael Ellerman)
4885
4886
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4887
(Michael Ellerman)
4888
4889
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4890
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4891
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4892
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4893
4894
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4895
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4896
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4897
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4898
4899
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4900
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
4901
4902
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
4903
------------------
4904
4905
IMPROVEMENTS:
4906
4907
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4908
(John A Meinel)
4909
4910
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4911
conflicts.
4912
(Aaron Bentley)
4913
4914
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4915
a separator, not ':'.
4916
(Aaron Bentley)
4917
4918
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4919
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4920
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4921
4922
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4923
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4924
(Robert Collins)
4925
4926
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4927
has been added that suppresses all output.
4928
4929
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4930
Adams.
4931
4932
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4933
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4934
4935
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4936
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4937
4938
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4939
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4940
4941
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4942
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4943
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4944
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4945
4946
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4947
4948
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4949
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4950
4951
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4952
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4953
4954
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4955
output directory, if one was supplied.
4956
4957
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4958
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4959
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4960
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4961
4962
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4963
4964
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4965
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4966
4967
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4968
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4969
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4970
4971
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4972
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4973
4974
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4975
(Aaron Bentley)
4976
4977
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4978
4979
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4980
4981
TESTING:
4982
4983
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4984
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4985
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4986
4987
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4988
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4989
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4990
4991
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
4992
is given. (Martin Pool)
4993
4994
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
4995
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
4996
file. (Robert Collins)
4997
4998
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
4999
(Martin Pool)
5000
5001
INTERNALS:
5002
5003
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
5004
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
5005
representation. (Martin Pool).
5006
5007
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
5008
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
5009
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
5010
5011
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5012
(Robert Collins)
5013
5014
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
5015
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
5016
Magnus Therning.
5017
5018
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5019
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
5020
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5021
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5022
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5023
5024
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5025
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5026
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5027
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5028
python path. (Robert Collins)
5029
5030
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5031
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5032
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5033
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5034
5035
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5036
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5037
5038
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5039
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5040
(Robert Collins)
5041
5042
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5043
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5044
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5045
5046
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5047
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5048
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5049
5050
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5051
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5052
5053
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5054
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5055
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5056
(Robert Collins)
5057
5058
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5059
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5060
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5061
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5062
(Robert Collins)
5063
5064
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5065
(Robert Collins)
5066
5067
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5068
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5069
(Robert Collins)
5070
5071
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
5072
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
5073
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
5074
5075
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
5076
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
5077
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
5078
5079
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
5080
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
5081
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
5082
5083
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5084
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5085
5086
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
5087
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
5088
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
5089
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
5090
caller. (Robert Collins)
5091
5092
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
5093
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
5094
(Robert Collins).
5095
5096
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
5097
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
5098
(Aaron Bentley)
5099
5100
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
5101
5102
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
5103
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
5104
5105
BUG FIXES:
5106
5107
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
5108
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
5109
5110
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
5111
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

5114
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
5115
--------------------
5116
5117
BUG FIXES:
5118
5119
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
5120
allow directories to be listed.
5121
5122
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
5123
upgrading branch format.
5124
5125
PERFORMANCE:
5126
5127
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
5128
5129
5130
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
5131
------------------
5132
5133
NOTES:
5134
5135
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
5136
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
5137
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
5138
high-latency connections.
5139
5140
BUG FIXES:
5141
5142
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
5143
Rob Weir.
5144
5145
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
5146
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
5147
5148
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
5149
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
5150
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
5151
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5152
5153
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5154
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5155
5156
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5157
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5158
5159
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
5160
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
5161
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5162
5163
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
5164
for files with only a change to their executable status.
5165
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
5166
Robert Collins
5167
5168
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5169
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5170
5171
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5172
different partial views of history.
5173
5174
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5175
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5176
5177
IMPROVEMENTS:
5178
5179
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5180
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5181
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5182
5183
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5184
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5185
'bzr upgrade'.
5186
5187
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5188
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5189
5190
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5191
Niemeyer.
5192
5193
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5194
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5195
5196
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5197
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5198
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5199
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5200
5201
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5202
5203
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5204
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5205
Gustavo Niemeyer.
5206
5207
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5208
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5209
5210
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5211
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5212
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5213
5214
5215
INTERNALS:
5216
5217
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5218
for your viewing pleasure.
5219
5220
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5221
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5222
5223
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5224
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5225
handling of such circumstances.
5226
5227
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
5228
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
5229
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
5230
5231
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5232
5233
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5234
we call them revisions not patches.
5235
5236
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5237
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5238
5239
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
5240
giving the revision *of that file*.
5241
5242
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
5243
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
5244
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
5245
5246
TESTING:
5247
5248
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
5249
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
5250
5251
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
5252
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
5253
5254
5255
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
5256
--------------------
5257
5258
BUG FIXES:
5259
5260
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
5261
5262
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
5263
(Robert Collins).
5264
5265
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
5266
5267
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
5268
5269
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
5270
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5271
5272
IMPROVEMENTS:
5273
5274
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
5275
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
5276
5277
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
5278
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
5279
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
5280
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
5281
Robey Pointer
5282
5283
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
5284
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5285
5286
INTERNALS:
5287
5288
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
5289
5290
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
5291
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
5292
5293
5294
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
5295
--------------------
5296
5297
IMPROVEMENTS:
5298
5299
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
5300
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
5301
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
5302
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
5303
Michael Ellerman.
5304
5305
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
5306
(Nir Soffer)
5307
5308
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
5309
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
5310
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
5311
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
5312
for the operating system is still tried.
5313
5314
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
5315
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
5316
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
5317
5318
5319
INTERNALS:
5320
5321
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
5322
5323
BUG FIXES:
5324
5325
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
5326
5327
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
5328
branch.
5329
5330
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
5331
read.
5332
5333
5334
PORTABILITY:
5335
5336
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
5337
5338
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
5339
5340
5341
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
5342
--------------------
5343
5344
NEW FEATURES:
5345
5346
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
5347
help with intelligent shell completion.
5348
5349
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
5350
5351
5352
ENHANCEMENTS:
5353
5354
* Much better merge support.
5355
5356
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
5357
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
5358
like emacs smerge.
5359
5360
5361
BUG FIXES:
5362
5363
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
5364
mention revisions that are not present.
5365
5366
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
5367
5368
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
5369
5370
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
5371
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
5372
5373
5374
CHANGES:
5375
5376
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
5377
5378
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
5379
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
5380
--help themselves.
5381
5382
5383
LIBRARY:
5384
5385
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
5386
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
5387
libraries.
5388
5389
5390
5391
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
5392
--------------------
5393
5394
NEW FEATURES:
5395
5396
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
5397
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
5398
5399
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
5400
5401
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
5402
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
5403
5404
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
5405
FOO.
5406
5407
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
5408
5409
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
5410
the Unix command.
5411
5412
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
5413
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
5414
5415
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
5416
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
5417
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
5418
5419
5420
ENHANCEMENTS:
5421
5422
* Faster working tree operations.
5423
5424
5425
CHANGES:
5426
5427
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
5428
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
5429
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
5430
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
5431
5432
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
5433
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
5434
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
5435
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
5436
standard plugins directory.
5437
5438
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
5439
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
5440
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
5441
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
5442
5443
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
5444
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
5445
5446
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
5447
disk.
5448
5449
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
5450
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
5451
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
5452
5453
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
5454
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
5455
5456
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
5457
line options must come before the command name because they
5458
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
5459
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
5460
it.
5461
5462
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
5463
5464
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
5465
is available with ``--short``.
5466
5467
5468
BUG FIXES:
5469
5470
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
5471
5472
5473
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
5474
---------------------
5475
5476
CHANGES:
5477
5478
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
5479
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5480
5481
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
5482
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
5483
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
5484
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
5485
5486
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
5487
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
5488
with the ``--forward`` option.
5489
5490
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
5491
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
5492
field.
5493
5494
5495
ENHANCEMENTS:
5496
5497
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
5498
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
5499
5500
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
5501
5502
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
5503
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
5504
5505
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
5506
5507
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
5508
either read or write mode.
5509
5510
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
5511
5512
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
5513
affected that file.
5514
5515
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
5516
5517
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
5518
suggested by LarstiQ.
5519
5520
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
5521
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
5522
5523
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
5524
a filename.
5525
5526
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
5527
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
5528
5529
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
5530
haven't changed since the previous time.
5531
5532
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
5533
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
5534
5535
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
5536
5537
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
5538
5539
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
5540
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
5541
5542
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
5543
options through to an external GNU diff.
5544
5545
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
5546
their contents.
5547
5548
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
5549
from a branch.
5550
5551
5552
BUG FIXES:
5553
5554
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
5555
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
5556
5557
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
5558
metacharacters.
5559
5560
5561
TESTING:
5562
5563
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
5564
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
5565
the tests.
5566
5567
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
5568
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
5569
5570
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
5571
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
5572
5573
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
5574
under a different version.
5575
5576
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.

5610
---------------------
5611
5612
ENHANCEMENTS:
5613
5614
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
5615
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
5616
5617
* More default ignore patterns.
5618
5619
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
5620
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
5621
5622
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
5623
5624
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
5625
by Jason Diamon.
5626

5629
5630
CHANGES:
5631
5632
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
5633
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
5634
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
5635
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
5636
there are DNS problems.
5637
5638
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
5639
5640
5641

5650
5651
INTERNAL:
5652
5653
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
5654
Matt Brubeck.
5655
5656
* More tests in test.sh.
5657
5658

5659
directory and delete it when done.
5660
5661

5662
5663
5664

5696
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
5697
will do for now.)
5698
5699
PORTABILITY:
5700
5701
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an

5742
* Performance improvements.
5743
5744
