15
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
17
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
18
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
19
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
20
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
21
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
22
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
29
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
32
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
33
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
34
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
36
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
39
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
40
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
42
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
43
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
44
transport will now automatically use a smart server if one is present.
49
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
50
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
51
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
52
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
53
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
54
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
56
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
57
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
59
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
60
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
61
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
63
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
64
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
66
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
68
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
70
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
71
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
75
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
77
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
79
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
83
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
84
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
85
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
87
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
88
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
89
release. (James Westby)
91
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
92
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
94
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
95
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
97
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
98
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
100
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
101
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
103
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
104
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
107
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
108
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
110
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
111
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
115
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
116
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
117
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
118
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
120
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
121
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
124
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
125
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
126
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
130
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
131
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)
134
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-03-16
135
---------------------
137
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
139
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
140
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
141
features have been added.
143
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
145
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
146
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
150
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
151
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
152
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
153
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
156
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
157
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
158
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
159
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
160
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
161
(Alexander Belchenko)
163
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
164
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
165
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
166
(Alexander Belchenko)
168
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
170
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
171
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
175
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
176
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
178
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
179
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
184
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
186
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
188
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
189
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
190
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
192
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
193
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
195
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
198
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
199
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
200
(Alexander Belchenko)
202
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
203
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
204
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
205
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
207
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
210
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
211
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
212
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
213
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
214
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
218
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
219
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
220
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
221
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
223
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
224
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
226
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
227
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
229
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
230
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
231
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
233
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
236
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
237
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
239
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
241
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
243
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
244
symlinks (James Henstridge)
246
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
247
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
249
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
250
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
252
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
253
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
255
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
256
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
258
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
259
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
263
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
264
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
268
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
269
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
270
(Alexander Belchenko)
274
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
275
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
280
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
281
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
282
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
284
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
285
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
286
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
287
(Alexander Belchenko)
289
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
290
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
291
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
292
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
294
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
295
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
296
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
299
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
300
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
301
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
303
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
304
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
305
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
307
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
308
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
309
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
310
format. (Robert Collins)
318
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
321
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
322
---------------------
324
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
326
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
327
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
328
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
329
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
330
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
335
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
336
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
338
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
339
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
340
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
342
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
343
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
344
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
345
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
346
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
347
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
352
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
353
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
355
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
356
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
357
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
360
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
361
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
362
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
363
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
364
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
366
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
367
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
368
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
369
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
370
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
371
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
372
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
373
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
377
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
378
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
380
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
381
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
383
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
384
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
386
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
387
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
388
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
390
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
391
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
396
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
397
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
399
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
400
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
402
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
403
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
405
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
406
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
407
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
409
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
410
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
411
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
413
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
414
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
416
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
417
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
418
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
419
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
420
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
422
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
424
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
425
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
428
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
429
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
431
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
432
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
434
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
435
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
437
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
438
more characters which should be considered valid.
439
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
441
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
442
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
444
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
445
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
449
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
450
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
452
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
453
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
458
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
459
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
464
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
465
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
466
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
468
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
469
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
470
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
472
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
473
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
474
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
475
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
477
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
479
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
480
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
481
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
482
server. (Robert Collins)
484
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
485
operate. (Robert Collins)
487
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
488
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
489
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
491
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
492
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
493
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
494
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
496
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
497
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
499
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
500
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
501
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
503
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
504
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
506
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
507
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
509
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
510
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
511
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
512
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
518
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
520
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
521
---------------------
525
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
526
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
527
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
528
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
530
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
531
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
532
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
533
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
537
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
540
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
543
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
544
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
548
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
551
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
552
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
553
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
555
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
557
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
558
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
559
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
560
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
561
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
563
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
564
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
565
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
567
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
568
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
570
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
573
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
575
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
577
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
580
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
581
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
585
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
586
(Martin Pool, #180208)
588
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
589
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
591
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
594
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
595
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
597
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
598
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
600
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
601
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
603
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
604
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
606
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
607
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
608
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
610
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
611
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
613
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
614
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
617
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
619
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
620
user:pass embedded in the urls.
621
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
623
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
624
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
626
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
629
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
632
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
633
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
635
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
638
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
639
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
642
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
643
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
644
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
648
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
651
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
652
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
653
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
654
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
655
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
656
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
658
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
662
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
665
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
666
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
668
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
670
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
671
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
672
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
675
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
676
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
678
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
685
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
686
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
687
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
689
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
690
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
693
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
694
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
696
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
697
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
699
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
700
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
702
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
703
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
704
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
706
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
707
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
709
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
710
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
712
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
713
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
716
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
717
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
719
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
720
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
728
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
730
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
733
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
735
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
736
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
740
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
741
---------------------
745
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
746
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
747
by mail to the mailing list.
752
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
754
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
755
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
756
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
757
feedback but also incur more latency.
758
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
760
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
761
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
765
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
767
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
772
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
773
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
774
wraps its output in a StringIO.
778
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
779
---------------------
783
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
785
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
788
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
791
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
792
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
793
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
794
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
796
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
799
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
800
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
802
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
803
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
804
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
806
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
807
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
808
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
809
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
810
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
811
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
812
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
813
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
814
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
818
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
821
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
825
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
826
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
828
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
830
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
832
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
833
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
835
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
837
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
838
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
840
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
841
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
845
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
846
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
849
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
850
---------------------
852
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
854
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
855
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
856
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
857
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
859
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
860
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
862
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
863
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
865
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
866
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
867
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
868
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
869
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
870
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
871
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
872
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
873
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
874
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
875
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
876
from any tree without problems.
877
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
881
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
882
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
883
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
885
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
886
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
887
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
892
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
893
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
894
supported transports.
897
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
898
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
899
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
901
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
902
(Robert Collins, #154173)
904
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
905
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
906
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
907
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
909
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
910
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
914
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
915
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
916
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
917
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
919
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
920
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
921
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
922
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
924
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
925
(Robert Collins, #88319)
927
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
928
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
930
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
931
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
933
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
934
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
939
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
942
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
943
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
946
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
947
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
948
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
949
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
951
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
952
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
953
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
954
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
960
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
961
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
963
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
964
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
966
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
967
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
969
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
970
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
972
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
973
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
975
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
976
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
978
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
979
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
981
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
984
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
985
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
987
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
988
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
989
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
991
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
992
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
994
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
995
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
997
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
998
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
1000
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
1001
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
1003
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
1004
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
1005
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
1006
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
1008
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1010
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
1011
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1012
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
1014
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
1015
(Robert Collins, #161240)
1017
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
1019
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1021
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1022
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1024
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1025
specify a port in urls.
1026
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1028
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
1029
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
1031
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
1032
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
1034
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
1035
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
1037
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
1038
(Robert Collins, #153789)
1040
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
1041
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
1042
(Robert Collins, #165304).
1044
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
1046
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
1047
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
1049
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
1052
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
1053
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
1055
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
1056
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
1058
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
1059
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
1060
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
1062
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
1063
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
1065
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
1066
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
1067
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
1068
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
1070
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
1071
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
1073
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
1074
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
1075
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
1077
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
1078
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
1080
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
1081
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
1083
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
1084
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
1088
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
1089
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
1091
* The return value of
1092
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
1093
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
1094
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
1095
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
1097
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
1100
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
1101
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
1107
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
1108
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
1109
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
1112
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
1113
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
1115
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
1125
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
1128
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
1129
----------------------
1131
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1135
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
1136
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
1138
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
1139
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
1140
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
1141
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
1142
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
1143
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
1144
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
1145
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
1146
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
1147
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
1148
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
1149
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
1154
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
1155
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
1156
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
1157
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
1158
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
1159
for further details. (Robert Collins)
1161
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
1162
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
1163
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
1166
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
1168
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
1169
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
1171
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
1172
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
1175
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
1176
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
1177
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
1181
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
1182
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1184
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
1185
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
1187
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
1188
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
1189
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
1190
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
1192
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
1195
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
1196
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
1197
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
1198
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
1200
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
1201
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
1203
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
1204
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1206
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
1207
the contents. (Robert Collins)
1209
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
1210
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
1214
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
1215
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
1217
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
1218
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
1220
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
1221
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
1223
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
1224
(Martin Pool, #63894)
1226
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
1227
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
1231
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
1233
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
1238
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
1239
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
1240
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
1242
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
1243
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
1245
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
1246
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)

* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
1249
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
1250
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
1251
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
1253
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
1254
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
1255
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
1256
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
1257
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
1259
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
1260
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
1262
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
1264
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1266
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
1267
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
1269
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
1270
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
1272
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
1273
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
1275
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
1276
contains a symbolic link.
1277
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
1279
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
1280
(James Westby, #140615)
1282
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
1283
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
1284
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
1286
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
1287
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
1288
(Martin Pool, #144633)
1290
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1292
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
1293
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
1295
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
1297
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
1299
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
1300
directory to detect leaking tests.
1301
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
1303
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
1304
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
1305
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
1307
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
1310
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
1311
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
1313
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
1318
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
1319
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
1321
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
1322
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
1323
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
1325
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
1326
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
1327
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
1329
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
1330
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
1332
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
1333
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
1335
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
1336
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
1339
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
1340
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
1342
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
1343
class that needs it.
1346
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
1347
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
1349
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
1350
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
1351
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
1353
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
1354
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
1355
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
1358
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
1359
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
1360
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
1361
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
1366
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1367
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1368
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1370
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1371
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1372
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1373
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1375
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1376
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1379
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1380
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1381
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1383
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1384
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1385
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1387
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1388
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1390
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1391
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1392
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1394
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1395
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1397
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1398
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1399
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1401
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1402
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1403
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1405
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1406
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1407
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1408
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1410
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1411
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1412
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1413
returned. (Robert Collins)
1415
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1416
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1418
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1419
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1420
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1421
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1424
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1425
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1429
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1430
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1432
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1433
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1434
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1435
makes this behavior available to other users.
1438
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1439
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
1447
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1448
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1449
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1451
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1453
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1454
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1455
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1456
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1458
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1459
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
1463
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1464
----------------------
1466
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
1467
in bzrlib/remote.py.
1470
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
1471
----------------------
1475
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1476
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1477
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1478
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1481
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1482
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1483
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1488
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1489
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1490
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1493
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1494
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1495
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1497
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1498
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1499
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1501
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1502
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1504
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1505
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1506
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1507
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1508
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1509
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1510
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1511
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1512
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1513
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1515
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1516
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1518
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1519
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1520
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1524
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1525
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1527
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1528
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1529
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1531
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1532
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1534
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1535
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1537
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1540
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1541
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1543
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1544
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1546
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1547
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1549
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1550
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1552
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1554
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1557
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1558
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1559
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1560
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1562
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1564
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1565
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1568
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1569
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1571
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1572
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1575
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1576
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1578
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1579
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1581
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1582
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1583
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1584
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1585
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1586
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1587
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1589
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1590
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1592
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1593
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1595
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1596
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1598
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1599
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1601
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1603
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1605
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1606
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1608
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1609
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1610
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1612
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1613
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1614
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1618
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1619
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1621
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1624
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1627
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1628
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1630
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1632
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1633
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1635
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1636
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1638
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1639
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1640
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1641
space). (Robert Collins)
1643
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1644
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1647
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1648
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1650
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1651
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1653
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1654
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1655
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1656
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1658
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1659
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1660
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1663
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1666
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1667
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1668
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1670
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1671
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1672
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1673
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1674
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1678
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1679
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1681
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1682
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1683
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1684
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1685
affected. (Robert Collins)
1687
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1688
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1689
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1692
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1693
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1697
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1698
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1700
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1701
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1703
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1704
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1706
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1709
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1710
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1714
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1715
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1716
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1717
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1719
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1720
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1722
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1723
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1724
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1725
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1727
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1728
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1729
present. (Robert Collins)
1731
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1732
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1733
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1734
API. (Robert Collins)
1736
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1737
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1740
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1741
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1743
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1744
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1745
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1746
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1747
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1748
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1750
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1751
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1752
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1754
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1755
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1756
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1757
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1760
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1763
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1764
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1765
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1766
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1767
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1768
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1769
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1771
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1772
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1773
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1774
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1776
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1777
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1778
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1779
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1780
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1781
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1783
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1784
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1785
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1787
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1788
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1796
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1797
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1798
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1799
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1800
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1801
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1802
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
1803
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
1808
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1809
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1810
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
1813
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
1814
----------------------
1818
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1819
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1820
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1821
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1822
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1824
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1825
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1827
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1829
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
1831
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
1832
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
1835
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
1836
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
1839
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
1842
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
1843
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
1845
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
1846
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
1848
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
1849
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
1851
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
1852
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
1854
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
1855
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
1857
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
1862
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
1863
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
1865
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
1866
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
1868
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
1869
the repository (Robert Collins)
1871
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
1872
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
1873
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
1874
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
1875
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
1877
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
1878
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1880
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
1881
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
1882
(John Arbash Meinel)
1884
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
1885
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
1886
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
1888
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
1889
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
1890
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
1891
(John Arbash Meinel)
1893
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
1894
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
1897
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
1898
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
1900
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
1903
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
1905
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1907
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
1908
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
1910
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
1911
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
1914
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
1915
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
1916
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
1917
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1919
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
1920
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
1921
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
1923
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
1924
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
1925
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
1927
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
1928
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
1930
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
1931
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
1932
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
1933
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
1934
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
1935
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
1938
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
1939
(Alexander Belchenko)
1941
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
1942
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
1944
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
1945
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
1947
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1949
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
1950
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
1954
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
1955
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
1956
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
1957
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
1959
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
1961
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
1964
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
1965
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
1966
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
1967
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
1968
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
1969
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
1973
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
1974
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
1975
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
1976
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
1978
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
1979
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
1980
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
1981
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
1982
tests have been refactored too.
1985
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
1986
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
1987
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
1991
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
1992
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
1993
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1995
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
1996
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
1997
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
1998
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
1999
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2000
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2001
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2003
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2004
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2005
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2006
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2007
(John Arbash Meinel)
2009
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2010
functionality for testing.
2012
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2014
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2015
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2017
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2019
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2022
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2023
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2025
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2026
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2027
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2029
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2032
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2033
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2035
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2036
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2037
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2038
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2040
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2041
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2043
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2044
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2045
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2047
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2050
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2051
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2052
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2053
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2054
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
2055
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2057
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
2058
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
2059
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
2060
many files. (Robert Collins)
2062
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
2063
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
2064
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
2065
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
2069
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
2070
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
2071
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
2073
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
2074
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
2076
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
2077
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
2078
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2082
--------------------
2086
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
2089
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
2090
-----------------------
2094
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
2095
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
2097
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
2098
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
2099
(James Westby, #122656)
2101
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
2102
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
2104
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
2105
authentication header.
2106
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
2108
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
2110
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
2111
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
2113
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
2115
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
2116
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
2118
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
2119
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
2120
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
2122
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
2123
individually and as part of revision ranges.
2124
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
2126
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
2127
(Martin Pool, #109169)
2129
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
2130
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
2132
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
2133
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
2135
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2137
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
2141
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
2142
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
2143
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
2144
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
2145
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
2146
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
2148
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
2149
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
2150
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
2152
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
2155
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
2156
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
2158
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
2159
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
2161
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
2162
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
2164
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
2165
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
2166
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
2167
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
2168
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
2170
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
2171
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
2173
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
2174
can be slow it is useful feedback).
2175
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
2177
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
2178
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
2180
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
2182
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
2183
output. (Aaron Bentley)
2185
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
2186
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
2189
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
2192
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
2193
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
2195
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
2196
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
2198
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
2199
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
2201
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
2203
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
2204
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
2206
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
2211
* Testing cleanups -
2212
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2213
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
2214
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2215
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
2216
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2217
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
2218
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2219
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
2220
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2221
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
2222
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
2223
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
2224
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2225
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
2226
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2227
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
2228
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
2231
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
2233
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
2234
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
2235
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
2237
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
2238
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
2240
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
2241
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2243
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
2245
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
2246
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
2247
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
2248
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
2249
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
2250
same location. (Robert Collins)
2254
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
2256
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
2258
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
2260
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
2263
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
2266
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
2267
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
2268
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
2270
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
2272
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
2273
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
2274
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
2276
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
2277
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
2279
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
2280
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
2281
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
2283
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
2284
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
2285
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
2287
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
2288
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
2289
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
2291
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
2292
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
2295
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
2296
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
2298
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
2299
(Alexander Belchenko)
2303
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
2304
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
2305
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
2306
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2308
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
2309
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
2310
testing. (Robert Collins)
2312
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
2313
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
2315
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
2316
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
2317
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
2318
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
2319
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
2320
attribute during the test parameterisation in
2321
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
2323
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
2324
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
2325
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
2326
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
2328
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
2329
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
2331
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
2332
avoid useless cloning.

2341
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
2342
(Colin Watson, #120647)
2344
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2353
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
2354
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
2355
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
2356
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
2357
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
2358
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
2359
and unlock() like so::
2361
work_tree.lock_read()
2363
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
2368
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
2369
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
2371
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
2372
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
2373
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
2375
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2376
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2377
too. (Robert Collins)
2381
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
2382
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
2385
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
2386
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
2388
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
2389
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
2391
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
2392
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
2393
understanding what changes have occurred
2394
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
2396
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
2397
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
2398
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2400
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
2401
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
2402
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
2403
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2405
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2410
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
2411
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
2412
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
2413
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
2414
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
2416
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2417
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2418
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2420
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
2421
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
2423
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
2425
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2427
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2428
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2430
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2431
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2433
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2434
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2436
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2437
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2439
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2440
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2442
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2443
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2444
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
2447
--------------------
2451
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2452
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2453
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2454
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2455
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2457
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2458
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2459
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2461
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2462
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2466
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2467
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2468
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2470
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2471
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2472
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2473
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
2475
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
2476
-----------------------
2480
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2481
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2482
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2483
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2485
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2486
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2487
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
2489
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2490
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
2492
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
2493
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
2495
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
2496
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
2498
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
2499
-----------------------
2501
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2503
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
2504
it could be recovered again.
2505
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
2506
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
2507
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
2509
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
2511
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
2512
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
2516
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
2517
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
2519
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
2520
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
2521
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
2522
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
2524
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
2525
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
2527
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
2528
tests with names that match that regular expression.
2529
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
2531
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
2532
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
2533
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
2535
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
2536
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
2537
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
2539
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
2540
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
2543
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
2546
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
2547
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
2548
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
2549
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
2551
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
2554
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
2555
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
2556
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
2559
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
2560
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
2562
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
2563
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
2565
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
2566
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
2567
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
2568
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
2571
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
2572
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
2574
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
2575
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2577
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
2578
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
2579
(Robert Collins, #107125).
2581
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
2582
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
2583
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
2585
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
2586
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
2587
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2589
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
2590
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
2591
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
2592
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
2594
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
2595
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
2596
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
2597
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
2599
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
2600
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
2601
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
2602
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
2603
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
2604
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
2605
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
2606
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
2612
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
2613
code paths. (Robert Collins)
2615
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
2616
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
2617
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
2618
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
2619
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2621
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
2622
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
2624
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
2625
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
2627
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
2628
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
2630
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
2631
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
2633
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
2634
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
2635
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
2638
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
2639
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
2640
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
2641
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
2642
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
2645
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
2646
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
2647
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
2649
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
2650
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
2653
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
2654
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
2655
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
2658
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
2659
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
2660
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
2661
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
2662
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
2664
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
2665
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
2666
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
2667
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2669
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
2670
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2672
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
2673
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
2674
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
2675
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
2676
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
2677
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
2679
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
2680
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
2682
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
2683
help. (Robert Collins)
2685
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
2686
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2688
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
2689
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
2690
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
2691
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
2692
(John Arbash Meinel)
2694
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
2695
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
2696
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
2697
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
2698
useful. (Robert Collins)
2700
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
2705
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
2706
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
2708
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
2709
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
2711
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
2712
properly and is no longer beneficial.
2713
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
2715
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2718
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2719
the file, and does it faster.
2720
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2722
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2723
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2724
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2726
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2727
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2728
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2729
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2731
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2732
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2733
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2734
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2736
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2737
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2739
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2740
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2741
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2742
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2745
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2747
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2748
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2750
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2751
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2753
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2754
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2755
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2756
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2760
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2761
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2765
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2766
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2767
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2769
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2770
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2772
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2773
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2774
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2775
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2776
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2777
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2778
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2779
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2781
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2782
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2783
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2785
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2786
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2787
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2788
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2789
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2791
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2793
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2794
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2795
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2797
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2798
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
2806
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
2809
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
2810
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
2813
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
2814
-----------------------
2818
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2819
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2824
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2825
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2826
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2827
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2828
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
2829
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
2830
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
2831
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
2836
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
2837
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
2838
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
2840
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
2841
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
2844
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
2845
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
2846
(John Arbash Meinel)
2848
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
2849
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
2850
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
2851
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
2852
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
2856
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
2859
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
2860
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
2862
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
2863
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
2865
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
2866
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
2867
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
2869
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
2870
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
2872
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
2873
last-changed-revision for directories. The
2874
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
2875
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
2876
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
2878
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
2879
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
2880
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
2882
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
2885
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
2886
-----------------------
2888
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2890
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
2891
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
2892
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
2896
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
2897
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
2899
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
2900
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
2902
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2904
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
2905
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
2907
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
2908
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
2912
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
2917
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
2918
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
2919
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
2920
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2922
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
2923
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
2925
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
2926
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
2928
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
2931
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
2932
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
2935
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
2936
-----------------------
2940
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
2941
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
2942
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
2943
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
2944
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
2945
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
2947
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
2948
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
2949
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
2950
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
2951
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
2952
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
2954
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2956
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
2957
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
2958
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
2959
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
2960
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
2961
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
2962
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
2963
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2967
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
2968
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
2970
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
2971
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
2972
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
2973
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
2975
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
2976
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
2977
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
2978
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
2979
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
2981
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
2984
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
2987
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
2990
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
2991
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
2994
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
2997
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
2998
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3000
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3001
directory. (Martin Pool)
3003
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3004
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3005
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3006
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3008
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3009
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3010
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3011
in docs/configuration.txt.
3013
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3014
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
3017
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
3018
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
3019
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
3020
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
3021
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
3022
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3024
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3025
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3027
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3028
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3030
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
3035
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
3036
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
3037
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
3038
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
3039
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
3040
(John Arbash Meinel)
3042
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
3043
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
3046
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
3047
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
3048
(John Arbash Meinel)
3050
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
3051
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
3052
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
3053
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
3054
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
3055
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
3057
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
3058
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
3059
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
3061
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
3062
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
3063
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
3064
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
3066
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3068
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
3069
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
3070
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
3071
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
3073
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
3074
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
3075
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
3076
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
3078
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
3079
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
3080
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
3082
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
3083
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
3084
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
3086
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
3087
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
3088
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
3089
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
3091
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
3092
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
3093
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
3095
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
3096
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
3097
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
3099
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
3100
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
3101
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
3102
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
3103
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
3104
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
3105
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
3106
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
3107
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
3108
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
3109
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
3113
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
3114
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
3115
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
3117
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
3120
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
3121
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
3122
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
3123
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
3125
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
3126
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
3129
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
3130
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
3132
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
3134
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
3135
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
3136
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
3138
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
3139
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
3141
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
3142
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
3144
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
3145
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
3147
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
3148
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
3150
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
3152
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
3153
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
3157
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
3158
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
3162
--------------------
3166
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
3170
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
3171
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
3172
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
3174
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
3175
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
3176
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
3179
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
3180
-----------------------
3184
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
3185
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
3186
server, then you can write over the http connection.
3187
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3189
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
3192
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
3193
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
3194
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3196
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
3197
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
3199
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
3202
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
3203
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
3204
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
3205
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
3206
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
3207
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
3209
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
3210
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
3211
should enable you to do::
3213
[/home/user/project]
3214
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
3215
push_location:policy = appendpath
3217
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
3218
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
3221
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
3222
for each file. For example::
3224
$ bzr status --short
3230
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
3231
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
3233
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
3235
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
3236
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
3238
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
3242
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
3243
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
3244
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
3245
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
3247
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
3248
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
3249
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
3251
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3253
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
3254
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
3255
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
3256
(Alexander Belchenko)
3258
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
3261
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
3262
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
3264
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
3268
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
3269
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
3271
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
3272
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
3273
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
3274
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
3275
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
3277
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
3278
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
3280
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
3281
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
3283
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
3285
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
3287
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
3288
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
3289
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
3290
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
3291
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
3293
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
3294
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
3295
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
3296
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
3298
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
3299
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
3301
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
3302
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
3304
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
3305
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
3307
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
3308
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
3312
--------------------
3314
No changes from 0.13rc1
3316
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
3317
-----------------------
3321
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
3323
(Daniel Silverstone)
3325
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
3326
operations are substantially faster.
3327
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
3329
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
3330
tree from some other url. For example:
3331
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
3332
(Daniel Silverstone)
3334
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
3335
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
3336
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
3337
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
3339
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
3342
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
3343
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
3344
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
3345
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
3346
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
3347
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
3351
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
3352
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
3355
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3356
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3357
(John Arbash Meinel)
3359
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
3360
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
3361
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
3362
(John Arbash Meinel)
3364
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
3365
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3367
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3368
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3370
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3371
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3376
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
3377
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
3378
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
3380
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
3381
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
3382
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
3383
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
3385
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3387
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3388
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3390
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3391
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3392
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
3393
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3395
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3396
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3397
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3399
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3400
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3401
them as full references rather than integers.
3402
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3404
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3405
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3407
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3409
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3410
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3412
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3413
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3415
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3416
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3417
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3418
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3420
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3421
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3422
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3424
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3425
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3427
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3428
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3429
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3430
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3431
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3435
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3436
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
3439
--------------------
3443
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3444
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3445
(John Arbash Meinel)
3447
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
3448
-----------------------
3452
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3453
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3454
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3455
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3457
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3458
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3460
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3462
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3463
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3464
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3465
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3467
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3468
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3469
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3470
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3471
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3473
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3475
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3476
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3480
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3481
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3482
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3484
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3485
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3486
(John Arbash Meinel)
3488
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3489
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3490
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3492
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3493
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3496
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3497
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3498
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3500
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3501
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3502
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3503
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3504
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3505
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3507
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3508
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3509
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3512
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3513
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3517
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3518
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3519
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3522
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3523
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3525
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3526
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3527
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3529
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3530
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3532
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3533
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3534
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3535
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3537
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3538
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3540
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3541
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3542
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3544
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3545
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3547
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3549
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3550
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3555
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3556
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3557
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3558
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3560
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3561
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3562
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3565
--------------------
3567
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
3569
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
3570
-----------------------
3574
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
3576
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
3579
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
3580
-----------------------
3584
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3585
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3586
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3587
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3588
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3589
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3590
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3592
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3593
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3594
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3596
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3598
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3599
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3601
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3602
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3603
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3606
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3607
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3608
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3609
(John Arbash Meinel)
3611
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3612
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3613
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3614
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3617
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3618
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3619
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
3620
(John Arbash Meinel)
3624
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
3625
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
3627
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3629
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3630
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3631
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
3633
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3634
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
3636
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3637
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3639
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3640
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3642
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
3643
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
3645
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3647
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3648
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3650
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3651
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3653
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3654
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3656
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3657
(John Arbash Meinel)
3659
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3660
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3661
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3663
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3664
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3666
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3667
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3668
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3669
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3671
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3672
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3673
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
3675
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
3676
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
3680
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3684
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3685
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3686
(John Arbash Meinel)
3688
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3689
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3690
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3691
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3693
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3696
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3697
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3698
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3700
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3701
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3703
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3704
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3705
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3707
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3708
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3709
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3710
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3711
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3712
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3713
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3714
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3715
caller to repeat their request.
3716
(John Arbash Meinel)
3718
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3719
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3721
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3722
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3724
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3725
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3726
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3727
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3728
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3729
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3730
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3732
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3733
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3734
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3735
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3736
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3737
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3738
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3739
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3742
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3743
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3744
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3746
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3747
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3749
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3750
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3752
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3753
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3757
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3758
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3760
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3761
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3762
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3764
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3765
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3766
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3769
--------------------
3772
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3773
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3775
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3776
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3777
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3778
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3779
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3781
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3782
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3783
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3785
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3786
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3788
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3789
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3790
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3794
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3796
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3797
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
3798
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
3800
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
3802
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
3804
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
3805
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
3806
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
3807
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
3809
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
3810
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
3811
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
3812
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
3813
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
3815
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
3816
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
3818
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
3819
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
3821
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
3822
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
3824
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
3825
in handling of revision properties.
3826
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
3828
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
3829
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
3833
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
3834
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
3835
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
3836
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
3837
(John Arbash Meinel)
3839
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
3840
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
3841
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3843
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
3844
---------------------
3848
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
3849
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
3850
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
3851
specific one '.bzrignore'.
3852
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
3853
a more conservative list than the old default.
3854
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
3855
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
3856
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
3857
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
3859
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
3860
to more locations than just branch locations.
3865
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
3866
revno:N:branch. For example,
3867
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
3868
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
3870
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
3871
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
3872
the path of a file that has been versioned.
3873
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
3874
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
3875
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
3876
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
3877
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
3880
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
3881
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
3882
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
3885
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
3886
(Alexander Belchenko)
3888
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
3890
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
3893
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
3894
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
3895
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
3896
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
3897
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
3898
(John Arbash Meinel)
3900
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
3901
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
3902
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
3903
grained analysis of performance.
3904
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3906
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
3907
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
3909
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
3910
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
3911
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
3912
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
3913
file. (Robert Collins).
3915
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
3916
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
3917
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
3919
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
3920
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
3923
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
3924
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
3926
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
3927
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
3928
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
3929
the same way you would apply another branch.
3930
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3932
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
3933
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
3935
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
3938
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
3941
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
3942
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
3943
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
3945
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
3946
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
3947
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
3949
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
3950
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
3952
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
3953
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
3954
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
3955
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
3956
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
3958
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
3959
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
3961
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
3962
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
3963
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
3964
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
3965
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
3966
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
3967
branch is as much as 4x faster.
3968
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
3970
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
3971
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
3972
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
3976
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
3978
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
3980
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
3981
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3983
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
3984
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
3986
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
3987
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
3989
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
3991
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
3992
(John Arbash Meinel)
3994
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
3995
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
3997
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
3998
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4001
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4002
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4004
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4005
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4007
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4008
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4009
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4010
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4012
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4013
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4015
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4017
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4018
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4020
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4022
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4024
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4025
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4027
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4028
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4030
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4031
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4032
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4034
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4035
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4036
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4038
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4039
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4041
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4042
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4044
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4045
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4047
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4048
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4050
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4051
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
4053
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
4054
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
4055
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
4057
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
4059
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
4060
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
4064
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
4065
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
4066
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
4068
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
4069
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
4071
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
4072
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
4073
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4075
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
4076
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4078
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
4079
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
4082
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
4083
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
4084
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4086
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
4087
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
4088
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4090
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
4091
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
4092
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
4094
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
4095
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
4096
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
4098
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
4099
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
4100
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
4102
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
4103
instead. (Robert Collins)
4105
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
4107
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
4108
---------------------
4112
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
4114
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
4115
---------------------
4119
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
4120
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
4122
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
4123
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4125
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
4126
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
4127
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
4131
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
4133
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
4134
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
4136
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
4140
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
4141
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
4142
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
4143
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
4147
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
4148
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
4149
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
4153
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
4154
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
4155
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4159
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
4160
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
4165
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4167
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
4168
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
4169
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
4170
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
4171
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
4172
will keep the same format.
4174
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
4175
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
4176
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
4177
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
4178
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
4180
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
4181
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
4182
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
4183
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
4184
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
4185
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
4186
indicating the current revision of the branch.
4188
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
4189
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
4190
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
4191
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
4192
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
4194
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
4195
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
4196
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
4202
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
4203
convention. Paths now take the form::
4205
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
4207
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
4209
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
4210
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
4212
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
4213
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
4214
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
4216
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
4217
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
4218
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
4219
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
4221
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
4222
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
4223
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
4225
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
4227
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
4229
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
4230
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
4233
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
4234
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
4237
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
4239
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
4240
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
4241
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
4244
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
4246
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
4248
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
4251
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
4252
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
4254
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
4255
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
4258
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
4259
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
4262
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
4264
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
4266
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
4267
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
4269
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
4270
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
4271
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
4272
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
4273
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
4274
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
4276
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
4278
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
4279
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
4282
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
4283
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
4285
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
4286
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
4288
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
4290
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
4291
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
4292
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
4293
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
4294
specification by Martin Pool.
4295
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
4297
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
4300
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
4301
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4303
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
4304
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
4305
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
4307
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
4309
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
4310
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
4315
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
4316
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4318
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
4320
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
4322
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
4325
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
4326
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
4327
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
4328
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
4332
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
4333
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
4334
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
4335
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4337
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
4338
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
4339
tried. (Martin Pool)
4341
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
4344
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
4346
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
4347
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
4348
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
4350
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
4351
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
4353
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
4354
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
4355
paths. (Robert Collins)
4357
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
4358
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
4359
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
4361
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
4362
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
4363
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
4365
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4366
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4367
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4369
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4372
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4375
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4377
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4379
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
4380
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
4381
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
4384
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4385
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4387
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
4388
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
4389
check. (Robert Collins)
4391
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4392
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4396
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4397
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4399
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4400
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4401
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4402
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4404
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4405
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4406
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4407
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4408
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4410
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4411
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4412
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4414
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4416
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4417
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
4424
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4425
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4427
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4428
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4429
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4432
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4433
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4435
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4436
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4437
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4438
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4439
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4441
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4442
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4443
used. (Robert Collins)
4445
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4446
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4449
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4450
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4451
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4453
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4456
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4457
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4461
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4462
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4464
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4466
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4468
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4469
tree. (Robert Collins)
4471
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4472
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4473
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4476
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4479
* Tweaks to short log printing
4481
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4484
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4485
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4487
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4488
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4490
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4491
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4493
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
4494
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4495
settings. (Magnus Therning)
4497
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
4498
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4500
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4501
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4504
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4505
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4507
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
4508
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
4510
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
4511
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
4513
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
4516
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
4517
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4519
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4520
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4522
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4523
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4524
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
4528
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
4530
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4532
* Error when run with -OO
4534
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
4537
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4539
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4541
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4542
ignored by diff and status
4544
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4545
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
4547
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
4549
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4551
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4552
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4554
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4555
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4557
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4560
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4561
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4563
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4565
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4566
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4568
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4571
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4572
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4574
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4578
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4579
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4581
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4583
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4585
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4587
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4588
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4589
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4591
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4593
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4594
(John Arbash Meinel)
4596
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4598
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4599
If adding a new test script please add that to
4600
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4602
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4603
imported. (Martin Pool)
4605
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4606
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4607
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4608
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4609
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4612
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4613
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4614
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4616
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4617
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4618
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4620
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4621
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4622
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4623
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4624
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4627
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4628
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4633
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4634
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4636
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4637
function. (Robert Collins)
4639
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4640
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4641
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4643
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4644
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4647
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4648
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4649
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4650
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4651
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4652
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4653
version. (Robert Collins)
4655
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4656
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4658
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4659
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4660
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4661
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4662
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4663
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4665
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4668
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4678
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4680
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4682
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4685
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4686
query method. (Robert Collins)
4688
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4691
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4694
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4697
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4698
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4699
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4700
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4702
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4703
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4704
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4705
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4707
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4708
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
4715
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4718
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4722
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4723
a separator, not ':'.
4726
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4727
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4728
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4730
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4731
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4734
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4735
has been added that suppresses all output.
4737
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4740
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4741
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4743
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4744
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4746
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4747
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4749
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4750
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4751
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4752
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4754
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4756
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4757
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4759
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4760
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4762
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4763
output directory, if one was supplied.
4765
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4766
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4767
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4768
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4770
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4772
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4773
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4775
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4776
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4777
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4779
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4780
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4782
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4785
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4787
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4791
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4792
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4793
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4795
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4796
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4797
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4799
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
4800
is given. (Martin Pool)
4802
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
4803
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
4804
file. (Robert Collins)
4806
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
4811
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
4812
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
4813
representation. (Martin Pool).
4815
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
4816
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
4817
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
4819
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4822
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
4823
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
4826
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4827
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
4828
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
4829
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
4830
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4832
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
4833
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
4834
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
4835
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
4836
python path. (Robert Collins)
4838
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
4839
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
4840
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
4841
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
4843
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
4844
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
4846
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
4847
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
4850
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
4851
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
4852
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
4854
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
4855
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
4856
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
4858
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4859
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4861
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
4862
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
4863
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
4866
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
4867
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
4868
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
4869
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
4872
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
4875
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
4876
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
4879
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
4880
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
4881
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
4883
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
4884
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
4885
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
4887
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
4888
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
4889
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
4891
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4892
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4894
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
4895
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
4896
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
4897
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
4898
caller. (Robert Collins)
4900
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
4901
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
4904
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
4905
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
4908
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
4910
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
4911
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
4915
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
4916
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
4918
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
4919
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
4922
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
4923
--------------------
4927
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
4928
allow directories to be listed.
4930
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
4931
upgrading branch format.
4935
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
4943
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
4944
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
4945
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
4946
high-latency connections.
4950
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
4953
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
4954
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
4956
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
4957
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
4958
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
4959
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4961
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
4962
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
4964
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
4965
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
4967
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
4968
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
4969
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4971
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
4972
for files with only a change to their executable status.
4973
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
4976
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
4977
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
4979
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
4980
different partial views of history.
4982
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
4983
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
4987
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
4988
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
4989
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4991
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
4992
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
4995
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
4996
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
4998
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5001
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5002
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5004
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5005
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5006
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5007
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5009
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5011
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5012
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5015
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5016
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5018
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5019
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5020
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5025
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5026
for your viewing pleasure.
5028
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5029
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5031
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5032
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5033
handling of such circumstances.
5035
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
5036
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
5037
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
5039
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5041
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5042
we call them revisions not patches.
5044
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5045
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5047
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
5048
giving the revision *of that file*.
5050
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
5051
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
5052
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
5056
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
5057
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
5059
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
5060
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
5063
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
5064
--------------------
5068
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
5070
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
5073
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
5075
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
5077
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
5078
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5082
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
5083
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
5085
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
5086
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
5087
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
5088
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
5091
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
5092
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5096
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
5098
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
5099
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
5102
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
5103
--------------------
5107
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
5108
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
5109
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
5110
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
5113
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
5116
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
5117
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
5118
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
5119
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
5120
for the operating system is still tried.
5122
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
5123
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
5124
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
5129
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
5133
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
5135
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
5138
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
5144
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
5146
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
5149
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
5150
--------------------
5154
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
5155
help with intelligent shell completion.
5157
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
5162
* Much better merge support.
5164
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
5165
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
5171
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
5172
mention revisions that are not present.
5174
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
5176
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
5178
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
5179
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
5184
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
5186
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
5187
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
5193
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
5194
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
5199
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
5200
--------------------
5204
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
5205
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
5207
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
5209
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
5210
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
5212
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
5215
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
5217
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
5220
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
5221
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
5223
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
5224
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
5225
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
5230
* Faster working tree operations.
5235
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
5236
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
5237
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
5238
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
5240
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
5241
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
5242
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
5243
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
5244
standard plugins directory.
5246
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
5247
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
5248
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
5249
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
5251
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
5252
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
5254
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
5257
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
5258
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
5259
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
5261
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
5262
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
5264
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
5265
line options must come before the command name because they
5266
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
5267
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
5270
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
5272
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
5273
is available with ``--short``.
5278
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
5281
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
5282
---------------------
5286
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
5287
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5289
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
5290
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
5291
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
5292
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
5294
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
5295
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
5296
with the ``--forward`` option.
5298
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
5299
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
5305
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
5306
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
5308
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
5310
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
5311
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
5313
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
5315
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
5316
either read or write mode.
5318
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
5320
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
5323
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
5325
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
5326
suggested by LarstiQ.
5328
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
5329
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
5331
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
5334
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
5335
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
5337
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
5338
haven't changed since the previous time.
5340
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
5341
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
5343
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
5345
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
5347
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
5348
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
5350
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
5351
options through to an external GNU diff.
5353
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
5356
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
5362
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
5363
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
5365
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
5371
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
5372
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
5375
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
5376
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
5378
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
5379
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
5381
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
5382
under a different version.
5384
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
5389
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
5391
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
5392
Scott James Remnant.
5394
* Better help messages for many commands.
5396
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
5397
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
5399
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
5400
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
5402
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
5404
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
5406
* New AtomicFile class.
5408
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
5413
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
5414
2.4 is now only recommended.
5417
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
5418
---------------------
5422
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
5423
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
5425
* More default ignore patterns.
5427
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
5428
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
5430
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
5432
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
5435
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
5440
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
5441
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
5442
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
5443
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
5444
there are DNS problems.
5446
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
5451
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
5453
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
5455
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
5456
trailing newlines properly.
5461
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
5464
* More tests in test.sh.
5466
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
5467
directory and delete it when done.
5469
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
5474
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
5477
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
5481
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
5482
---------------------
5486
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
5489
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
5491
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
5494
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
5497
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
5499
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
5503
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
5504
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
5509
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
5510
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
5515
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
5519
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
5527
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
5530
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
5531
-----------------------------------
5535
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
5537
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
5538
rather than replacing it.
5540
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
5544
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
5547
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
5548
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
5550
* Performance improvements.
5552
* New global --profile option.
5554
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
5555
the root directory only.
5558
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
5559
---------------------
5563
* More information from info command.
5565
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
5567
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
5568
committing to stores.
5570
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
5574
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
5578
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
5579
installation easier.
5581
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
5585
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
5586
------------------------
5590
* First public release.
5592
* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
