IN DEVELOPMENT

--------------
10
11
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
12
13
CHANGES:
14
15
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
16
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,
23
Andrew Cowie)
24
25
FEATURES:
26
27
* Added mail-mode GNU Emacs mail package as a mail_client.
28
(Xavier Maillard, Bojan Nikolic)
29
30
IMPROVEMENTS:
31
32
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
33
(Chad Miller)
34
35
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
36
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
37
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
38
39
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
40
(Aaron Bentley)
41
42
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
43
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
44
45
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
46
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
47
transport will now automatically use a smart server if one is present.
48
(Andrew Bennetts)
49
50
BUGFIXES:
51
52
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
53
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
54
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
55
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
56
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
57
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
58
59
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
60
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
61
62
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
63
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
64
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
65
66
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
67
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
68
69
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
70
71
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
72
73
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
74
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
75
76
DOCUMENTATION:
77
78
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
79
80
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
81
82
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
83
84
API BREAKS:
85
86
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
87
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
88
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
89
90
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
91
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
92
release. (James Westby)
93
94
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
95
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
96
97
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
98
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
99
100
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
101
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
102
103
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
104
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
105
106
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
107
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
108
(Robert Collins)
109
110
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
111
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
112
113
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
114
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
115
116
TESTING:
117
118
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
119
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
120
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
121
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
122
123
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
124
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
125
(Vincent Ladeuil)
126
127
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
128
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
129
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
130
131
INTERNALS:
132
133
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
134
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)
135
136
137
bzr 1.3 2008-03-20
138
------------------
139
140
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
141
142
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
143
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
144
features have been added.
145
146
TESTING:
147
148
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
149
directory names.
150
(#202778, Martin Pool)
151
152
153
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-03-16
154
---------------------
155
156
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
157
158
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
159
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
160
161
CHANGES:
162
163
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
164
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
165
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
166
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
167
(Robert Collins)
168
169
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
170
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
171
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
172
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
173
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
174
(Alexander Belchenko)
175
176
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
177
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
178
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
179
(Alexander Belchenko)
180
181
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
182
183
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
184
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
185
186
FEATURES:
187
188
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
189
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
190
191
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
192
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
193
(Jelmer Vernooij)
194
195
IMPROVEMENTS:
196
197
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
198
199
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
200
201
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
202
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
203
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
204
205
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
206
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
207
208
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
209
to. (Daniel Watkins)
210
211
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
212
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
213
(Alexander Belchenko)
214
215
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
216
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
217
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
218
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
219
220
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
221
(Daniel Watkins)
222
223
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
224
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
225
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
226
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
227
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
228
229
BUGFIXES:
230
231
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
232
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
233
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
234
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
235
236
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
237
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
238
239
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
240
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
241
242
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
243
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
244
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
245
246
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
247
(#198793, John Ferlito)
248
249
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
250
#196618)
251
252
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
253
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
254
255
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
256
257
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
258
259
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
260
symlinks (James Henstridge)
261
262
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
263
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
264
265
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
266
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
267
268
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
269
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
270
271
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
272
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
273
274
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
275
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
276
277
DOCUMENTATION:
278
279
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
280
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
281
282
API BREAKS:
283
284
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
285
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
286
(Alexander Belchenko)
287
288
TESTING:
289
290
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
291
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
292
(Robert Collins)
293
294
INTERNALS:
295
296
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
297
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
298
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
299
300
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
301
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
302
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
303
(Alexander Belchenko)
304
305
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
306
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
307
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
308
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
309
310
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
311
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
312
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
313
(Robert Collins)
314
315
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
316
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
317
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
318
319
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
320
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
321
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
322
323
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
324
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
325
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
326
format. (Robert Collins)
327
328
329
bzr 1.2 2008-02-15
330
------------------
331
332
BUG FIXES:
333
334
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
335
336
337
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
338
---------------------
339
340
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
341
342
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
343
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
344
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
345
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
346
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
347
(Andrew Bennetts)
348
349
CHANGES:
350
351
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
352
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
353
354
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
355
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
356
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
357
358
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
359
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
360
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
361
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
362
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
363
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
364
(Aaron Bentley)
365
366
FEATURES:
367
368
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
369
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
370
371
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
372
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
373
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
374
(Robert Collins)
375
376
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
377
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
378
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
379
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
380
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
381
382
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
383
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
384
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
385
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
386
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
387
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
388
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
389
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
390
391
IMPROVEMENTS:
392
393
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
394
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
395
396
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
397
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
398
399
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
400
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
401
402
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
403
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
404
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
405
406
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
407
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
408
(John Arbash Meinel)
409
410
BUGFIXES:
411
412
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
413
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
414
415
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
416
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
417
418
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
419
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
420
421
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
422
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
423
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
424
425
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
426
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
427
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
428
429
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
430
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
431
432
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
433
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
434
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
435
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
436
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
437
unittest runner.
438
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
439
440
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
441
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
442
#185907)
443
444
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
445
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
446
447
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
448
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
449
450
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
451
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
452
453
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
454
more characters which should be considered valid.
455
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
456
457
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
458
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
459
460
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
461
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
462
463
API BREAKS:
464
465
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
466
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
467
468
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
469
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
470
(Martin Pool)
471
472
TESTING:
473
474
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
475
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
476
(Vincent Ladeuil)
477
478
INTERNALS:
479
480
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
481
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
482
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
483
484
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
485
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
486
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
487
488
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
489
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
490
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
491
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
492
493
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
494
495
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
496
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
497
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
498
server. (Robert Collins)
499
500
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
501
operate. (Robert Collins)
502
503
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
504
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
505
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
506
507
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
508
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
509
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
510
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
511
512
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
513
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
514
515
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
516
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
517
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
518
519
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
520
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
521
522
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
523
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
524
525
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
526
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
527
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
528
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

535
536
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
537
---------------------
538
539
CHANGES:
540
541
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
542
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
543
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
544
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
545
546
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
547
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
548
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
549
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
550
551
FEATURES:
552
553
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
554
(Lukáš Lalinský)
555
556
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
557
(Aaron Bentley)
558
559
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
560
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
561
562
IMPROVEMENTS:
563
564
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
565
#90049)
566
567
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
568
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
569
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
570
571
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
572
573
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
574
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
575
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
576
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
577
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
578
579
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
580
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
581
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
582
583
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
584
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
585
586
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
587
(Vincent Ladeuil)
588
589
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
590
591
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
592
593
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
594
(Aaron Bentley)
595
596
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
597
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
598
599
BUGFIXES:
600
601
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
602
(Martin Pool, #180208)
603
604
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
605
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
606
607
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
608
(Aaron Bentley)
609
610
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
611
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
612
613
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
614
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
615
616
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
617
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
618
619
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
620
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
621
622
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
623
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
624
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
625
626
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
627
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
628
629
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
630
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
631
(Aaron Bentley)
632
633
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
634
635
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
636
user:pass embedded in the urls.
637
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
638
639
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
640
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
641
642
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
643
(Aaron Bentley)
644
645
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
646
#148087)
647
648
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
649
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
650
651
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
652
#137681)
653
654
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
655
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
656
(Aaron Bentley)
657
658
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
659
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
660
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
661
662
DOCUMENTATION:
663
664
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
665
(Ian Clatworthy)
666
667
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
668
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
669
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
670
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
671
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
672
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
673
674
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
675
676
INTERNALS:
677
678
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
679
(Aaron Bentley)
680
681
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
682
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
683
684
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
685
686
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
687
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
688
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
689
Robert Collins)
690
691
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
692
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
693
694
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
695
(Vincent Ladeuil)
696
697
API BREAKS:
698
699
TESTING:
700
701
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
702
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
703
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
704
705
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
706
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
707
(Robert Collins)
708
709
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
710
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
711
712
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
713
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
714
715
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
716
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
717
718
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
719
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
720
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
721
722
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
723
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
724
725
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
726
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
727
728
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
729
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
730
(Vincent Ladeuil)
731
732
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
733
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
734
735
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
736
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

759
CHANGES:
760
761
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
762
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
763
by mail to the mailing list.
764
(Martin Pool)
765
766
BUGFIXES:
767
768
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
769
770
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
771
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
772
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
773
feedback but also incur more latency.
774
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
775
776
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
777
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
778
779
DOCUMENTATION:
780
781
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
782

* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
784
(Ian Clatworthy)
785
786
INTERNALS:
787
788
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
789
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
790
wraps its output in a StringIO.

IMPROVEMENTS:
798
799
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
800
801
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
802
(Aaron Bentley)
803
804
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
805
Nordhoff, #172612)
806
807
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
808
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
809
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
810
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
811
812
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
813
(Kent Gibson)
814
815
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
816
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
817
818
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
819
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
820
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
821
822
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
823
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
824
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
825
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
826
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
827
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
828
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
829
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
830
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
831
832
INTERNALS:
833
834
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
835
(Vincent Ladeuil)
836
837
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
838
839
BUGFIXES:
840
841
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
842
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
843
844
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
845
filename to user.
846
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
847
848
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
849
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
850
required.
851
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
852
853
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
854
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
855
856
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
857
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
858
859
API BREAKS:

862
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)

bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
866
---------------------
867
868
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
869
870
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
871
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
872
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
873
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
874
875
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
876
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
877
878
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
879
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
880
881
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
882
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
883
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
884
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
885
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
886
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
887
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
888
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
889
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
890
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
891
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
892
from any tree without problems.
893
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
894
895
CHANGES:
896
897
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
898
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
899
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
900
901
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
902
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
903
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
904
(Martin Pool)
905
906
FEATURES:
907
908
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
909
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
910
supported transports.
911
(Vincent Ladeuil)
912
913
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
914
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
915
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
916
917
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
918
(Robert Collins, #154173)
919
920
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
921
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
922
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
923
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
924
925
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
926
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
927
928
PERFORMANCE:
929
930
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
931
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
932
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
933
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
934
935
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
936
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
937
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
938
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
939
940
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
941
(Robert Collins, #88319)
942
943
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
944
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
945
946
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
947
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
948
949
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
950
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
951
(Aaron Bentley)
952
953
IMPROVEMENTS:
954
955
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
956
(Aaron Bentley)
957
958
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
959
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
960
(Lukáš Lalinský)
961
962
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of

the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
964
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
965
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)

967
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
968
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
969
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
970
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

1023
on them.
1024
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1025
1026

1027
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1028
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)

1034
to be reconciled.
1035
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1036
1037
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1038
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1039
1040
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1041

1078
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
1079
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
1080
1081
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
1082
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
1083
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
1084
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
1085
1086
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
1087
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
1088
1089
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
1090
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
1091
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
1092
1093
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
1094
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
1095
1096
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
1097
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).

1100
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
1101
1102
API BREAKS:
1103
1104
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
1105
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
1106
1107
* The return value of
1108
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
1109
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
1110
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
1111
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
1112
1113
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
1114
(Robert Collins)
1115
1116
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
1117
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
1118
format.
1119
(Martin Pool)
1120
1121
INTERNALS:
1122
1123
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
1124
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
1125
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
1126
Bennetts)
1127
1128
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
1129
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
1130
1131
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1148
1149
CHANGES:
1150
1151
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
1152
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
1153
1154
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
1155
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
1156
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
1157
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
1158
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
1159
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
1160
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
1161
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
1162
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
1163
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
1164
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
1165
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
1166
(Robert Collins)
1167
1168
FEATURES:
1169
1170
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
1171
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
1172
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
1173
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
1174
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
1175
for further details. (Robert Collins)
1176
1177
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
1178
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
1179
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
1180
(Robert Collins)
1181
1182
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
1183
1184
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
1185
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
1186
1187
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
1188
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
1189
(Aaron Bentley)
1190
1191
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
1192
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
1193
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
1194
1195
PERFORMANCE:
1196
1197
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
1198
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1199
1200
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
1201
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
1202
1203
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
1204
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
1205
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
1206
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
1207
1208
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
1209
(Robert Collins)
1210
1211
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
1212
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
1213
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
1214
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
1215
1216
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
1217
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
1218
1219
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
1220
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1221
1222
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
1223
the contents. (Robert Collins)
1224
1225
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
1226
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
1227
1228
IMPROVEMENTS:
1229
1230
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
1231
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
1232
1233
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
1234
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
1235
1236
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
1237
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
1238
1239
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
1240
(Martin Pool, #63894)
1241
1242
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
1243
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
1244
1245
DOCUMENTATION:
1246
1247
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
1248
1249
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
1250
(Ian Clatworthy)
1251
1252
BUG FIXES:
1253
1254
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
1255
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
1256
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
1257
1258
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
1259
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
1260
1261
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
1262
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
1263
1264
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
1265
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
1266
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
1267
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
1268
1269
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
1270
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
1271
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
1272
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
1273
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
1274
1275
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
1276
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
1277
paramiko.
1278
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
1279
1280
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1281
1282
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
1283
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
1284
1285
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
1286
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
1287
1288
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
1289
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
1290
1291
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
1292
contains a symbolic link.
1293
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
1294
1295
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
1296
(James Westby, #140615)
1297
1298
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
1299
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
1300
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
1301
1302
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
1303
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
1304
(Martin Pool, #144633)
1305
1306
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1307
1308
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
1309
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
1310
1311
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
1312
will remain opened.
1313
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
1314
1315
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
1316
directory to detect leaking tests.
1317
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
1318
1319
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
1320
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
1321
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
1322
1323
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
1324
(Rob Weir, #141629)
1325
1326
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
1327
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
1328
1329
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
1330
Merwe)
1331
1332
API BREAKS:
1333
1334
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
1335
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
1336
1337
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
1338
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
1339
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
1340
1341
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
1342
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
1343
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
1344
1345
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
1346
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
1347
1348
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
1349
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
1350
1351
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
1352
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
1353
(Martin Pool)
1354
1355
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
1356
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
1357
1358
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
1359
class that needs it.
1360
(Martin Pool)
1361
1362
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
1363
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
1364
1365
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
1366
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
1367
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
1368
1369
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
1370
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
1371
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
1372
(Robert Collins)
1373
1374
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
1375
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
1376
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
1377
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
1378
(Robert Collins)
1379
1380
INTERNALS:
1381
1382
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1383
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1384
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1385
1386
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1387
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1388
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1389
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1390
1391
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1392
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1393
(Robert Collins)
1394
1395
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1396
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1397
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1398
1399
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1400
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1401
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1402
1403
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1404
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1405
1406
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1407
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1408
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1409
1410
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1411
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1412
1413
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1414
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1415
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1416
1417
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1418
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1419
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1420
1421
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1422
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1423
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1424
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1425
1426
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1427
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1428
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1429
returned. (Robert Collins)
1430
1431
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1432
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1433
1434
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1435
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1436
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1437
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1438
(Robert Collins)
1439
1440
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1441
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1442
1443
TESTING:
1444
1445
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1446
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1447
1448
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1449
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1450
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1451
makes this behavior available to other users.
1452
(Martin Pool)
1453
1454
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1455
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

1459
-------------------
1460
1461
BUG FIXES:
1462
1463
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1464
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1465
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1466
1467
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1468
1469
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1470
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1471
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1472
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1473
1474
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1475
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
1476
(Andrew Bennetts)

1478
1479
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1480
----------------------
1481
1482
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
1483
in bzrlib/remote.py.

1485
1486
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
1487
----------------------
1488
1489
CHANGES:
1490
1491
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1492
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1493
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1494
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1495
(Martin Pool)
1496
1497
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1498
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1499
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1500
(Ian Clatworthy)
1501
1502
FEATURES:
1503
1504
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1505
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1506
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1507
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1508
1509
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1510
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1511
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1512
1513
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1514
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1515
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1516
1517
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1518
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1519
1520
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1521
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1522
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1523
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1524
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1525
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1526
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1527
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1528
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1529
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1530
1531
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1532
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1533
1534
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1535
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1536
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1537
1538
BUG FIXES:
1539
1540
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1541
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1542
1543
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1544
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1545
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1546
1547
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1548
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1549
1550
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1551
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1552
1553
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1554
(Aaron Bentley)
1555
1556
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1557
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1558
1559
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1560
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1561
1562
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1563
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1564
1565
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1566
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1567
1568
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1569
1570
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1571
Watkins, #106726)
1572
1573
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1574
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1575
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1576
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1577
1578
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1579
1580
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1581
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1582
#133548)
1583
1584
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1585
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1586
1587
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1588
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1589
#116143)
1590
1591
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1592
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1593
1594
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1595
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1596
1597
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1598
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1599
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1600
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1601
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1602
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1603
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1604
1605
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1606
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1607
1608
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1609
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1610
1611
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1612
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1613
1614
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1615
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1616
1617
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1618
connections.
1619
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1620
1621
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1622
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1623
1624
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1625
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1626
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1627
1628
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1629
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1630
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1631
1632
IMPROVEMENTS:
1633
1634
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1635
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1636
1637
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1638
(Aaron Bentley)
1639
1640
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1641
(Aaron Bentley)
1642
1643
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1644
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1645
1646
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1647
1648
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1649
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1650
1651
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1652
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1653
1654
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1655
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1656
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1657
space). (Robert Collins)
1658
1659
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1660
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1661
(Ian Clatworthy)
1662
1663
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1664
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1665
1666
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1667
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1668
1669
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1670
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1671
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1672
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1673
1674
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1675
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1676
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1677
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1678
1679
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1680
(Ian Clatworthy)
1681
1682
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1683
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1684
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1685
1686
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1687
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1688
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1689
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1690
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1691
1692
API BREAKS:
1693
1694
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1695
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1696
1697
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1698
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1699
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1700
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1701
affected. (Robert Collins)
1702
1703
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1704
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1705
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1706
(Robert Collins)
1707
1708
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1709
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1710
1711
TESTING:
1712
1713
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1714
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1715
1716
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1717
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1718
1719
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1720
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1721
1722
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1723
(Aaron Bentley)
1724
1725
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1726
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1727
1728
INTERNALS:
1729
1730
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1731
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1732
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1733
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1734
1735
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1736
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1737
1738
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1739
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1740
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1741
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1742
1743
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1744
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1745
present. (Robert Collins)
1746
1747
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1748
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1749
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1750
API. (Robert Collins)
1751
1752
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1753
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1754
(Robert Collins)
1755
1756
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1757
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1758
1759
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1760
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1761
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1762
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1763
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1764
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1765
1766
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1767
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1768
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1769
1770
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1771
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1772
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1773
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1774
protocol.
1775
1776
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1777
(Aaron Bentley)
1778
1779
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1780
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1781
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1782
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1783
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1784
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1785
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1786
1787
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1788
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1789
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1790
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1791
1792
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1793
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1794
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1795
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1796
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1797
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1798
1799
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1800
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1801
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1802
1803
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1804
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1805
1806

bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
1808
-------------------
1809
1810
IMPROVEMENTS:
1811
1812
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1813
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1814
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1815
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1816
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1817
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1818
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
1819
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
1820
1821
1822
API CHANGES:
1823
1824
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1825
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1826
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
1827

1829
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
1830
----------------------
1831
1832
BUGFIXES:
1833
1834
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1835
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1836
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1837
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1838
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1839
1840
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1841
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1842
1843
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1844
anymore.
1845
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
1846
1847
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
1848
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
1849
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1850
1851
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
1852
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
1853
#111664)
1854
1855
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
1856
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1857
1858
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
1859
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
1860
1861
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
1862
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
1863
1864
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
1865
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
1866
1867
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
1868
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
1869
1870
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
1871
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
1872
1873
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
1874
(Aaron Bentley)
1875
1876
IMPROVEMENTS:
1877
1878
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
1879
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
1880
1881
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
1882
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
1883
1884
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
1885
the repository (Robert Collins)
1886
1887
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
1888
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
1889
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
1890
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
1891
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
1892
1893
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
1894
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1895
1896
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
1897
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
1898
(John Arbash Meinel)
1899
1900
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
1901
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
1902
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
1903
about 10%).
1904
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
1905
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
1906
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
1907
(John Arbash Meinel)
1908
1909
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
1910
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
1911
(Robert Collins)
1912
1913
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
1914
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
1915
1916
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
1917
(Ian Clatworthy)
1918
1919
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
1920
1921
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1922
1923
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
1924
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
1925
1926
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
1927
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
1928
Meinel)
1929
1930
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
1931
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
1932
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
1933
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1934
1935
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
1936
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
1937
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
1938
1939
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
1940
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
1941
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
1942
1943
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
1944
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
1945
1946
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
1947
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
1948
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
1949
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
1950
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
1951
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
1952
(Ian Clatworthy)
1953
1954
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
1955
(Alexander Belchenko)
1956
1957
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
1958
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
1959
1960
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
1961
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
1962
1963
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1964
1965
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
1966
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
1967
1968
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1969
1970
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
1971
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
1972
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
1973
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
1974
1975
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
1976
1977
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
1978
(Robert Collins)
1979
1980
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
1981
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
1982
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
1983
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
1984
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
1985
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
1986
1987
INTERNALS:
1988
1989
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
1990
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
1991
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
1992
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
1993
1994
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
1995
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
1996
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
1997
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
1998
tests have been refactored too.
1999
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2000
2001
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2002
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2003
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2004
list, it will.
2005
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2006
2007
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2008
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2009
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2010
2011
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2012
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2013
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2014
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2015
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2016
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2017
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2018
2019
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2020
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2021
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2022
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2023
(John Arbash Meinel)
2024
2025
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2026
functionality for testing.
2027
2028
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2029
2030
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2031
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2032
2033
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2034
2035
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2036
(Robert Collins)
2037
2038
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2039
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2040
2041
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2042
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2043
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2044
2045
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2046
(Aaron Bentley)
2047
2048
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2049
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2050
2051
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2052
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2053
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2054
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2055
2056
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2057
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2058
2059
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2060
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2061
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2062
2063
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2064
(Marius Kruger)
2065
2066
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2067
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2068
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2069
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2070
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
2071
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2072
2073
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
2074
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
2075
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
2076
many files. (Robert Collins)
2077
2078
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
2079
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
2080
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
2081
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
2082
2083
TESTING:
2084
2085
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
2086
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
2087
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
2088
2089
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
2090
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
2091
2092
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
2093
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
2094
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
2109
2110
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
2111
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
2112
2113
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
2114
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
2115
(James Westby, #122656)
2116
2117
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
2118
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
2119
2120
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
2121
authentication header.
2122
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
2123
2124
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
2125
2126
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
2127
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
2128
2129
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
2130
2131
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
2132
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
2133
2134
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
2135
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
2136
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
2137
2138
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
2139
individually and as part of revision ranges.
2140
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
2141
2142
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
2143
(Martin Pool, #109169)
2144
2145
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
2146
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
2147
2148
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
2149
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
2150
2151
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2152
2153
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
2154
2155
IMPROVEMENTS:
2156
2157
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
2158
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
2159
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
2160
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
2161
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
2162
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
2163
2164
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
2165
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
2166
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
2167
2168
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
2169
(Elliot Murphy)
2170
2171
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
2172
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
2173
2174
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
2175
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
2176
2177
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
2178
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
2179
2180
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
2181
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
2182
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
2183
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
2184
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
2185
2186
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
2187
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
2188
2189
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
2190
can be slow it is useful feedback).
2191
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
2192
2193
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
2194
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
2195
2196
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
2197
2198
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
2199
output. (Aaron Bentley)
2200
2201
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
2202
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
2203
(Robert Collins)
2204
2205
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
2206
(Martin Pool)
2207
2208
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
2209
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
2210
2211
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
2212
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
2213
2214
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
2215
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
2216
2217
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
2218
2219
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
2220
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
2221
2222
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
2223
(Andrew Bennetts)
2224
2225
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2226
2227
* Testing cleanups -
2228
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2229
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
2230
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2231
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
2232
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2233
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
2234
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2235
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
2236
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2237
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
2238
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
2239
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
2240
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2241
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
2242
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2243
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
2244
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
2245
(Robert Collins)
2246
2247
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
2248
2249
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
2250
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
2251
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
2252
2253
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
2254
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
2255
2256
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
2257
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2258
2259
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
2260
2261
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
2262
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
2263
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
2264
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
2265
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
2266
same location. (Robert Collins)
2267
2268
INTERNALS:
2269
2270
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
2271
2272
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
2273
2274
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
2275
2276
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
2277
(Martin Pool)
2278
2279
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
2280
(Martin Pool)
2281
2282
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
2283
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
2284
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
2285
2286
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
2287
2288
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
2289
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
2290
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
2291
2292
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
2293
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
2294
2295
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
2296
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
2297
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
2298
2299
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
2300
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
2301
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
2302
2303
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
2304
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
2305
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
2306
2307
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
2308
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
2309
Martin Pool)
2310
2311
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
2312
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
2313
2314
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
2315
(Alexander Belchenko)
2316
2317
TESTING:
2318
2319
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
2320
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
2321
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
2322
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2323
2324
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
2325
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
2326
testing. (Robert Collins)
2327
2328
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
2329
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
2330
2331
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
2332
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
2333
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
2334
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
2335
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
2336
attribute during the test parameterisation in
2337
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
2338
2339
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
2340
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
2341
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
2342
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
2343
2344
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
2345
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
2346
2347
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
2348
avoid useless cloning.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2368
2369
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
2370
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
2371
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
2372
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
2373
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
2374
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
2375
and unlock() like so::
2376
2377
work_tree.lock_read()
2378
try:
2379
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
2380
finally:
2381
work_tree.unlock()
2382
2383
INTERNALS:
2384
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
2385
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
2386
object.
2387
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
2388
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
2389
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
2390
2391
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2392
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2393
too. (Robert Collins)
2394
2395
IMPROVEMENTS:
2396
2397
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
2398
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
2399
Aaron Bentley)
2400
2401
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
2402
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
2403
2404
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
2405
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
2406
2407
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
2408
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
2409
understanding what changes have occurred
2410
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
2411
2412
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
2413
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
2414
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2415
2416
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
2417
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
2418
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
2419
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2420
2421
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2422
#56322)
2423
2424
BUGFIXES:
2425
2426
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
2427
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
2428
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
2429
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
2430
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
2431
2432
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2433
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2434
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2435
2436
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
2437
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
2438
2439
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
2440
into account.
2441
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2442
2443
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2444
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2445
2446
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2447
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2448
2449
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2450
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2451
2452
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2453
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2454
2455
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2456
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2457
2458
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2459
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2460
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

2463
--------------------
2464
2465
BUGFIXES:
2466
2467
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2468
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2469
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2470
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2471
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2472
2473
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2474
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2475
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2476
2477
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2478
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2479
2480
IMPROVEMENTS:
2481
2482
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2483
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2484
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2485
2486
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2487
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2488
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2489
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

2492
-----------------------
2493
2494
BUGFIXES:
2495
2496
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2497
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2498
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2499
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2500
2501
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2502
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2503
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
2504
2505
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2506
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
2507
2508
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
2509
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
2510
2511
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
2512
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
2513
2514
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
2515
-----------------------
2516
2517
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2518
2519
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
2520
it could be recovered again.
2521
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
2522
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
2523
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
2524
but not delete it.
2525
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
2526
files.
2527
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
2528
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
2529
2530
IMPROVEMENTS:
2531
2532
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
2533
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
2534
2535
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
2536
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
2537
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
2538
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
2539
2540
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
2541
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
2542
2543
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
2544
tests with names that match that regular expression.
2545
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
2546
2547
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
2548
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
2549
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
2550
2551
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
2552
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
2553
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
2554
2555
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
2556
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
2557
Robert Collins)
2558
2559
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
2560
Pool)
2561
2562
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
2563
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
2564
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
2565
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
2566
2567
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
2568
(Robert Collins)
2569
2570
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
2571
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
2572
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
2573
(Robert Collins)
2574
2575
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
2576
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
2577
2578
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
2579
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
2580
2581
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
2582
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
2583
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
2584
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
2585
(Robert Collins)
2586
2587
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
2588
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
2589
2590
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
2591
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2592
2593
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
2594
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
2595
(Robert Collins, #107125).
2596
2597
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
2598
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
2599
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
2600
2601
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
2602
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
2603
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2604
2605
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
2606
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
2607
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
2608
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
2609
2610
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
2611
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
2612
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
2613
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
2614
2615
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
2616
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
2617
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
2618
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
2619
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
2620
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
2621
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
2622
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
2623
header(s).
2624
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2625
2626
INTERNALS:
2627
2628
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
2629
code paths. (Robert Collins)
2630
2631
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
2632
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
2633
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
2634
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
2635
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2636
2637
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
2638
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
2639
2640
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
2641
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
2642
2643
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
2644
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
2645
2646
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
2647
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
2648
2649
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
2650
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
2651
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
2652
(Robert Collins).
2653
2654
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
2655
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
2656
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
2657
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
2658
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
2659
(Robert Collins)
2660
2661
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
2662
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
2663
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
2664
2665
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
2666
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
2667
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2668
2669
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
2670
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
2671
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
2672
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2673
2674
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
2675
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
2676
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
2677
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
2678
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
2679
2680
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
2681
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
2682
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
2683
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2684
2685
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
2686
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2687
2688
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
2689
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
2690
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
2691
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
2692
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
2693
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
2694
2695
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
2696
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
2697
2698
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
2699
help. (Robert Collins)
2700
2701
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
2702
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2703
2704
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
2705
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
2706
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
2707
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
2708
(John Arbash Meinel)
2709
2710
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
2711
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
2712
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
2713
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
2714
useful. (Robert Collins)
2715
2716
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
2717
(Andrew Bennetts)
2718
2719
BUGFIXES:
2720
2721
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
2722
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
2723
2724
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
2725
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
2726
2727
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
2728
properly and is no longer beneficial.
2729
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
2730
2731
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2732
(Aaron Bentley)
2733
2734
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2735
the file, and does it faster.
2736
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2737
2738
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2739
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2740
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2741
2742
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2743
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2744
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2745
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2746
2747
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2748
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2749
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2750
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2751
2752
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2753
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2754
2755
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2756
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2757
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2758
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2759
Arbash Meinel)
2760
2761
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2762
2763
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2764
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2765
2766
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2767
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2768
2769
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2770
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2771
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2772
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2773
security hole.
2774
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2775
2776
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.

* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2782
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2783
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2784
2785
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2786
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2787
2788
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2789
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2790
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2791
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2792
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2793
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2794
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2795
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2796
2797
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2798
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2799
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2800
2801
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2802
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2803
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2804
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2805
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2806
access.
2807
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2808
2809
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2810
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2811
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2812
2813
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2814
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

2823
(Aaron Bentley)
2824

-----------------------
2831
2832
CHANGES:
2833
2834
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2835
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2836
(Martin Pool)
2837
2838
IMPROVEMENTS:
2839
2840
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2841
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2842
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2843
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2844
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
2845
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
2846
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
2847
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
2848
path. (vila)
2849
2850
INTERNALS:
2851
2852
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
2853
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
2854
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
2855
2856
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
2857
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
2858
(Martin Pool)
2859
2860
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
2861
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
2862
(John Arbash Meinel)
2863
2864
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
2865
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
2866
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
2867
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
2868
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
2869
2870
BUGFIXES:
2871
2872
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
2873
(vila, #92195)
2874
2875
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
2876
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
2877
2878
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
2879
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
2880
2881
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
2882
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
2883
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
2884
2885
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
2886
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
2887
2888
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
2889
last-changed-revision for directories. The
2890
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
2891
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
2892
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
2893
2894
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
2895
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
2896
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
2897
2898
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
2902
-----------------------
2903
2904
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2905
2906
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
2907
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
2908
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
2909
2910
IMPROVEMENTS:
2911
2912
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
2913
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
2914
2915
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
2916
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
2917
2918
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2919
2920
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
2921
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
2922
2923
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
2924
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
2925
2926
INTERNALS:
2927
2928
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
2929
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
2930
2931
BUGFIXES:
2932
2933
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
2934
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
2935
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
2936
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2937
2938
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
2939
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
2940
2941
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
2942
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
2943
2944
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
2945
(Marien Zwart)
2946
2947
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
2948
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)

2951
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
2952
-----------------------
2953
2954
SURPRISES:
2955
2956
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
2957
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
2958
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
2959
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
2960
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
2961
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
2962
2963
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
2964
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
2965
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
2966
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
2967
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
2968
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
2969
development.
2970
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2971
2972
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
2973
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
2974
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
2975
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
2976
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
2977
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
2978
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
2979
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2980
2981
IMPROVEMENTS:
2982
2983
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
2984
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
2985
2986
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
2987
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
2988
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
2989
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
2990
does exist.
2991
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
2992
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
2993
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
2994
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
2995
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
2996
2997
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
2998
(Aaron Bentley)
2999
3000
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3001
(Aaron Bentley)
3002
3003
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3004
(Robert Collins)
3005
3006
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3007
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3008
(Aaron Bentley)
3009
3010
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3011
(Aaron Bentley)
3012
3013
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3014
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3015
3016
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3017
directory. (Martin Pool)
3018
3019
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3020
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3021
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3022
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3023
3024
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3025
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3026
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3027
in docs/configuration.txt.
3028
3029
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3030
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
3031
bind location.
3032
3033
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
3034
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
3035
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
3036
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
3037
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
3038
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3039
3040
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3041
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3042
3043
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3044
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3045
3046
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
3047
(Aaron Bentley)
3048
3049
INTERNALS:
3050
3051
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
3052
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
3053
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
3054
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
3055
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
3056
(John Arbash Meinel)
3057
3058
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
3059
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
3060
(Aaron Bentley)
3061
3062
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
3063
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
3064
(John Arbash Meinel)
3065
3066
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
3067
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
3068
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
3069
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
3070
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
3071
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
3072
3073
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
3074
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
3075
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
3076
3077
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
3078
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
3079
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
3080
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
3081
repository.
3082
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3083
3084
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
3085
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
3086
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
3087
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
3088
3089
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
3090
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
3091
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
3092
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
3093
3094
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
3095
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
3096
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
3097
3098
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
3099
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
3100
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
3101
3102
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
3103
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
3104
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
3105
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
3106
3107
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
3108
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
3109
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
3110
3111
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
3112
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
3113
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
3114
3115
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
3116
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
3117
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
3118
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
3119
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
3120
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
3121
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
3122
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
3123
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
3124
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
3125
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
3126
3127
BUGFIXES:
3128
3129
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
3130
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
3131
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
3132
3133
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
3134
(Aaron Bentley)
3135
3136
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
3137
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
3138
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
3139
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
3140
3141
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
3142
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
3143
#83954).
3144
3145
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
3146
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
3147
3148
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
3149
3150
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
3151
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
3152
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
3153
3154
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
3155
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
3156
3157
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
3158
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
3159
3160
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
3161
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
3162
3163
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
3164
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
3165
3166
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
3167
3168
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
3169
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
3170
3171
TESTING:
3172
3173
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
3174
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

3180
IMPROVEMENTS:
3181
3182
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
3183
3184
BUG FIXES:
3185
3186
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
3187
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
3188
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
3189
3190
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
3191
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
3192
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

3195
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
3196
-----------------------
3197
3198
IMPROVEMENTS:
3199
3200
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
3201
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
3202
server, then you can write over the http connection.
3203
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3204
3205
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
3206
(Marius Kruger)
3207
3208
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
3209
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
3210
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3211
3212
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
3213
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
3214
3215
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
3216
(Aaron Bentley)
3217
3218
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
3219
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
3220
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
3221
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
3222
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
3223
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
3224
3225
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
3226
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
3227
should enable you to do::
3228
3229
[/home/user/project]
3230
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
3231
push_location:policy = appendpath
3232
3233
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
3234
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
3235

* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
3238
for each file. For example::
3239
3240
$ bzr status --short
3241
A foo
3242
A bar
3243
D baz
3244
? wooley
3245
3246
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
3247
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
3248
3249
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
3250
3251
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
3252
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
3253
3254
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
3255
3256
INTERNALS:
3257
3258
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
3259
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
3260
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
3261
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
3262
3263
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
3264
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
3265
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
3266
3267
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3268
3269
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
3270
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
3271
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
3272
(Alexander Belchenko)
3273
3274
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
3275
Pool)
3276
3277
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
3278
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
3279
3280
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
3281
3282
BUG FIXES:
3283
3284
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
3285
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
3286
3287
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
3288
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
3289
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
3290
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
3291
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
3292
3293
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
3294
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
3295
3296
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
3297
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
3298
3299
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
3300
matcher.
3301
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
3302
3303
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
3304
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
3305
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
3306
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
3307
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
3308
3309
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
3310
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
3311
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
3312
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
3313
3314
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
3315
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
3316
3317
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
3318
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
3319
3320
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
3321
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
3322
3323
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

3335
IMPROVEMENTS:
3336
3337
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
3338
tree from a branch.
3339
(Daniel Silverstone)
3340
3341
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
3342
operations are substantially faster.
3343
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
3344
3345
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
3346
tree from some other url. For example:
3347
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
3348
(Daniel Silverstone)
3349
3350
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
3351
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
3352
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
3353
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
3354
3355
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
3356
(Andrew Bennetts)
3357
3358
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
3359
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
3360
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
3361
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
3362
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
3363
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
3364
3365
INTERNALS:
3366
3367
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
3368
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
3369
(Martin Pool)
3370
3371
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3372
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3373
(John Arbash Meinel)
3374
3375
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
3376
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
3377
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
3378
(John Arbash Meinel)
3379
3380
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
3381
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3382
3383
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3384
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3385
3386
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3387
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3388
Bennetts)
3389
3390
BUG FIXES:
3391
3392
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
3393
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
3394
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
3395
3396
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
3397
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
3398
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
3399
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
3400
3401
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3402
3403
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3404
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3405
3406
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3407
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3408
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
3409
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3410
3411
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3412
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3413
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3414
3415
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3416
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3417
them as full references rather than integers.
3418
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3419
3420
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3421
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3422
3423
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3424
3425
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3426
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3427
3428
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3429
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3430
3431
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3432
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3433
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3434
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3435
3436
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3437
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3438
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3439
3440
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3441
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3442
3443
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3444
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3445
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3446
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3447
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3448
3449
TESTING:
3450
3451
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3452
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
3455
--------------------
3456
3457
INTERNALS:
3458
3459
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3460
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3461
(John Arbash Meinel)
3462
3463
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
3464
-----------------------
3465
3466
IMPROVEMENTS:
3467
3468
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3469
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3470
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3471
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3472
3473
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3474
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3475
3476
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3477
3478
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3479
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3480
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3481
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3482
3483
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3484
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3485
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3486
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3487
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3488
3489
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3490
3491
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3492
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3493
3494
INTERNALS:
3495
3496
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3497
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3498
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3499
3500
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3501
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3502
(John Arbash Meinel)
3503
3504
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3505
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3506
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3507
3508
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3509
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3510
(Aaron Bentley)
3511
3512
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3513
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3514
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3515
3516
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3517
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3518
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3519
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3520
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3521
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3522
3523
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3524
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3525
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3526
(Robert Collins)
3527
3528
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3529
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3530
3531
BUG FIXES:
3532
3533
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3534
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3535
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3536
#63360, #66349)
3537
3538
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3539
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3540
3541
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3542
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3543
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3544
3545
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3546
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3547
3548
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3549
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3550
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3551
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3552
3553
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3554
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3555
3556
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3557
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3558
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3559
3560
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3561
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3562
3563
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3564
3565
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3566
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3567
#32054)
3568
3569
TESTING:
3570
3571
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3572
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3573
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3574
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3575
3576
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3577
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3578
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3579
3580
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

3595
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
3596
-----------------------
3597
3598
IMPROVEMENTS:
3599
3600
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3601
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3602
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3603
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3604
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3605
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3606
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3607
3608
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3609
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3610
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3611
3612
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3613
3614
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3615
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3616
3617
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3618
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3619
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3620
(Robert Collins)
3621
3622
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3623
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3624
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3625
(John Arbash Meinel)
3626
3627
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3628
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3629
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3630
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3631
Pool)
3632
3633
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3634
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3635
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
3636
(John Arbash Meinel)
3637
3638
BUG FIXES:
3639
3640
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
3641
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
3642
3643
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3644
3645
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3646
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3647
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
3648
3649
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3650
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
3651
3652
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3653
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3654
3655
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3656
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3657
3658
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
3659
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
3660
3661
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3662
3663
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3664
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3665
3666
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3667
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3668
3669
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3670
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3671
3672
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3673
(John Arbash Meinel)
3674
3675
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3676
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3677
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3678
3679
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3680
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3681
3682
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3683
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3684
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3685
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3686
3687
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3688
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3689
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
3690
3691
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
3692
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
3693
3694
PORTABILITY:
3695
3696
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3697
3698
INTERNALS:
3699
3700
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3701
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3702
(John Arbash Meinel)
3703
3704
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3705
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3706
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3707
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3708
3709
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3710
(Andrew Bennetts)
3711
3712
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3713
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3714
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3715
3716
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3717
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3718
3719
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3720
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3721
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3722
3723
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3724
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3725
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3726
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3727
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3728
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3729
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3730
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3731
caller to repeat their request.
3732
(John Arbash Meinel)
3733
3734
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3735
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3736
3737
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3738
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3739
3740
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3741
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3742
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3743
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3744
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3745
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3746
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3747
3748
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3749
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3750
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3751
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3752
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3753
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3754
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3755
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3756
(Robert Collins)
3757
3758
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3759
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3760
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3761
3762
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3763
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3764
3765
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3766
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3767
3768
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3769
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3770
3771
TESTING:
3772
3773
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3774
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3775
3776
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3777
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3778
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3779
3780
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3781
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3782
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3783
3784
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
3785
--------------------
3786
3787
IMPROVEMENTS:
3788
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3789
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3790
3791
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3792
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3793
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3794
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3795
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3796
3797
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3798
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3799
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3800
3801
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3802
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3803
3804
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3805
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3806
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3807
3808
BUG FIXES:
3809
3810
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3811
3812
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3813
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
3814
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
3815
3816
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
3817
3818
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
3819
3820
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
3821
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
3822
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
3823
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
3824
3825
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
3826
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
3827
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
3828
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
3829
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
3830
3831
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
3832
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
3833
3834
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
3835
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
3836
3837
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
3838
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
3839
3840
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
3841
in handling of revision properties.
3842
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
3843
3844
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
3845
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
3846
3847
INTERNALS:
3848
3849
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
3850
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
3851
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
3852
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
3853
(John Arbash Meinel)
3854
3855
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
3856
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
3857
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3858
3859
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
3860
---------------------
3861
3862
SURPRISES:
3863
3864
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
3865
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
3866
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
3867
specific one '.bzrignore'.
3868
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
3869
a more conservative list than the old default.
3870
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
3871
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
3872
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
3873
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
3874
3875
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
3876
to more locations than just branch locations.
3877
(Aaron Bentley)
3878
3879
IMPROVEMENTS:
3880
3881
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
3882
revno:N:branch. For example,
3883
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
3884
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
3885
3886
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
3887
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
3888
the path of a file that has been versioned.
3889
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
3890
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
3891
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
3892
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
3893
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
3894
#42517, #42514)
3895
3896
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
3897
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
3898
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
3899
(Malone #3507)
3900
3901
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
3902
(Alexander Belchenko)
3903
3904
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
3905
3906
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
3907
(Robert Collins).
3908
3909
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
3910
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
3911
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
3912
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
3913
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
3914
(John Arbash Meinel)
3915
3916
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
3917
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
3918
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
3919
grained analysis of performance.
3920
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3921
3922
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
3923
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
3924
3925
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
3926
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
3927
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
3928
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
3929
file. (Robert Collins).
3930
3931
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
3932
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
3933
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
3934
3935
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
3936
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
3937
Matthieu Moy)
3938
3939
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
3940
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
3941
3942
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
3943
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
3944
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
3945
the same way you would apply another branch.
3946
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3947
3948
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
3949
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
3950
3951
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
3952
(Michael Ellerman)
3953
3954
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
3955
(Aaron Bentley)
3956
3957
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
3958
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
3959
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
3960
3961
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
3962
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
3963
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
3964
3965
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
3966
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
3967
3968
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
3969
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
3970
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
3971
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
3972
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
3973
3974
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
3975
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
3976
3977
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
3978
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
3979
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
3980
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
3981
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
3982
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
3983
branch is as much as 4x faster.
3984
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
3985
3986
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
3987
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
3988
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
3989
3990
BUG FIXES:
3991
3992
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
3993
tests not to run.
3994
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
3995
3996
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
3997
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3998
3999
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4000
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4001
4002
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4003
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4004
4005
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4006
4007
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4008
(John Arbash Meinel)
4009
4010
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4011
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4012
4013
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4014
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4015
and y.
4016
4017
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4018
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4019
4020
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4021
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4022
4023
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4024
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4025
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4026
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4027
4028
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4029
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4030
4031
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4032
4033
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4034
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4035
4036
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4037
4038
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4039
4040
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4041
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4042
4043
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4044
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4045
4046
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4047
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4048
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4049
4050
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4051
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4052
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4053
4054
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4055
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4056
4057
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4058
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4059
4060
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4061
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4062
4063
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4064
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4065
4066
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4067
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
4068
4069
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
4070
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
4071
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
4072
4073
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
4074
4075
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
4076
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
4077
4078
INTERNALS:
4079
4080
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
4081
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
4082
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
4083
4084
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
4085
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
4086
4087
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
4088
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
4089
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4090
4091
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
4092
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4093
4094
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
4095
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
4096
(Martin Pool)
4097
4098
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
4099
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
4100
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4101
4102
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
4103
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
4104
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4105
4106
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
4107
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
4108
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
4109
4110
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.

4178
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
4179
-------------------
4180
4181
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4182
4183
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
4184
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
4185
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
4186
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
4187
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
4188
will keep the same format.
4189
4190
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
4191
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
4192
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
4193
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
4194
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
4195
4196
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
4197
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
4198
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
4199
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
4200
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
4201
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
4202
indicating the current revision of the branch.
4203
4204
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
4205
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
4206
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
4207
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
4208
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
4209
4210
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
4211
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
4212
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
4213
arrangement.
4214
4215
4216
IMPROVEMENTS:
4217
4218
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
4219
convention. Paths now take the form::
4220
4221
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
4222
or
4223
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
4224
4225
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
4226
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
4227
4228
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
4229
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
4230
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
4231
4232
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
4233
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
4234
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
4235
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
4236
4237
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
4238
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
4239
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
4240
4241
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
4242
4243
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
4244
4245
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
4246
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
4247
commits::
4248
4249
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
4250
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
4251
| xargs bzr re-sign
4252
4253
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
4254
4255
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
4256
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
4257
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
4258
(Robert Collins)
4259
4260
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
4261
4262
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
4263
4264
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
4265
'.moved'.
4266
4267
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
4268
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
4269
4270
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
4271
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
4272
Daniel Silverstone)
4273
4274
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
4275
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
4276
Martin Pool)
4277
4278
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
4279
4280
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
4281
4282
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
4283
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
4284
4285
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
4286
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
4287
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
4288
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
4289
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
4290
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
4291
4292
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
4293
4294
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
4295
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
4296
(Robert Collins)
4297
4298
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
4299
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
4300
4301
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
4302
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
4303
4304
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
4305
4306
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
4307
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
4308
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
4309
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
4310
specification by Martin Pool.
4311
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
4312
4313
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
4314
Belchenko)
4315
4316
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
4317
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4318
4319
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
4320
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
4321
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
4322
4323
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
4324
4325
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
4326
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
4327
(Robert Collins)
4328
4329
CHANGES:
4330
4331
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
4332
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4333
4334
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
4335
4336
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
4337
4338
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
4339
(Olaf Conradi)
4340
4341
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
4342
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
4343
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
4344
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
4345
4346
INTERNALS:
4347
4348
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
4349
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
4350
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
4351
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4352
4353
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
4354
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
4355
tried. (Martin Pool)
4356
4357
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
4358
(Martin Pool)
4359
4360
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
4361
4362
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
4363
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
4364
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
4365
4366
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
4367
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
4368
4369
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
4370
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
4371
paths. (Robert Collins)
4372
4373
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
4374
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
4375
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
4376
4377
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
4378
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
4379
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
4380
4381
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4382
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4383
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4384
4385
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4386
(Olaf Conradi)
4387
4388
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4389
(Olaf Conradi)
4390
4391
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4392
4393
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4394
4395
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
4396
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
4397
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
4398
(Robert Collins)
4399
4400
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4401
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4402
4403
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
4404
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
4405
check. (Robert Collins)
4406
4407
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4408
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4409
4410
TESTING:
4411
4412
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4413
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4414
4415
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4416
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4417
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4418
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4419
4420
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4421
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4422
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4423
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4424
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4425
4426
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4427
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4428
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4429
4430
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4431
4432
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4433
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
4434
4435
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
4436
------------------
4437
4438
CHANGES:
4439
4440
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4441
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4442
4443
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4444
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4445
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4446
(Johan Rydberg)
4447
4448
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4449
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4450
4451
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4452
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4453
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4454
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4455
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4456
4457
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4458
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4459
used. (Robert Collins)
4460
4461
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4462
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4463
(James Henstridge)
4464
4465
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4466
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4467
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4468
4469
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4470
ignore list.
4471
4472
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4473
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4474
4475
IMPROVEMENTS:
4476
4477
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4478
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4479
4480
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4481
4482
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4483
4484
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4485
tree. (Robert Collins)
4486
4487
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4488
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4489
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4490
(Robert Collins)
4491
4492
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4493
that they be kept.
4494
4495
* Tweaks to short log printing
4496
4497
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4498
(Aaron Bentley)
4499
4500
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4501
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4502
4503
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4504
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4505
4506
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4507
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4508
4509
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
4510
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4511
settings. (Magnus Therning)
4512
4513
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
4514
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4515
4516
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4517
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4518
requests.
4519
4520
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4521
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4522
4523
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
4524
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
4525
4526
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
4527
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
4528
4529
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
4530
(Denys Duchier)
4531
4532
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
4533
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4534
4535
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4536
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4537
4538
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4539
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4540
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
4541
4542
BUG FIXES:
4543
4544
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
4545
4546
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4547
4548
* Error when run with -OO
4549
4550
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
4551
(Martin Pool)
4552
4553
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4554
4555
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4556
4557
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4558
ignored by diff and status
4559
4560
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4561
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
4562
4563
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
4564
4565
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4566
4567
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4568
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4569
4570
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4571
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4572
4573
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4574
(Harald Meland)
4575
4576
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4577
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4578
4579
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4580
4581
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4582
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4583
4584
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4585
(Martin Pool)
4586
4587
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4588
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4589
4590
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4591
4592
TESTING:
4593
4594
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4595
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4596
4597
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4598
4599
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4600
4601
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4602
4603
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4604
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4605
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4606
4607
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4608
4609
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4610
(John Arbash Meinel)
4611
4612
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4613
4614
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4615
If adding a new test script please add that to
4616
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4617
4618
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4619
imported. (Martin Pool)
4620
4621
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4622
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4623
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4624
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4625
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4626
(Robert Collins)
4627
4628
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4629
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4630
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4631
4632
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4633
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4634
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4635
4636
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4637
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4638
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4639
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4640
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4641
(Robert Collins).
4642
4643
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4644
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4645
(Robert Collins).
4646
4647
INTERNALS:
4648
4649
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4650
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4651
4652
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4653
function. (Robert Collins)
4654
4655
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4656
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4657
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4658
4659
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4660
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4661
(Robert Collins)
4662
4663
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4664
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4665
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4666
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4667
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4668
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4669
version. (Robert Collins)
4670
4671
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4672
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4673
4674
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4675
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4676
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4677
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4678
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4679
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4680
4681
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4682
(Robert Collins)
4683
4684
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4685
4686
add()
4687
commit()
4688
move()
4689
rename_one()
4690
unknowns()
4691
4692
(Robert Collins)
4693
4694
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4695
4696
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4697
4698
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4699
Pool)
4700
4701
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4702
query method. (Robert Collins)
4703
4704
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4705
(Denys Duchier)
4706
4707
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4708
(Michael Ellerman)
4709
4710
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4711
(Michael Ellerman)
4712
4713
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4714
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4715
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4716
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4717
4718
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4719
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4720
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4721
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4722
4723
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4724
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

4729
IMPROVEMENTS:
4730
4731
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4732
(John A Meinel)
4733
4734
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4735
conflicts.
4736
(Aaron Bentley)
4737
4738
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4739
a separator, not ':'.
4740
(Aaron Bentley)
4741
4742
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4743
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4744
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4745
4746
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4747
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4748
(Robert Collins)
4749
4750
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4751
has been added that suppresses all output.
4752
4753
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4754
Adams.
4755
4756
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4757
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4758
4759
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4760
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4761
4762
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4763
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4764
4765
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4766
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4767
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4768
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4769
4770
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4771
4772
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4773
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4774
4775
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4776
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4777
4778
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4779
output directory, if one was supplied.
4780
4781
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4782
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4783
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4784
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4785
4786
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4787
4788
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4789
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4790
4791
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4792
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4793
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4794
4795
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4796
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4797
4798
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4799
(Aaron Bentley)
4800
4801
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4802
4803
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4804
4805
TESTING:
4806
4807
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4808
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4809
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4810
4811
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4812
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4813
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4814
4815
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
4816
is given. (Martin Pool)
4817
4818
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
4819
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
4820
file. (Robert Collins)
4821
4822
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
4823
(Martin Pool)
4824
4825
INTERNALS:
4826
4827
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
4828
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
4829
representation. (Martin Pool).
4830
4831
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
4832
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
4833
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
4834
4835
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4836
(Robert Collins)
4837
4838
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
4839
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
4840
Magnus Therning.
4841
4842
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4843
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
4844
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
4845
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
4846
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4847
4848
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
4849
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
4850
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
4851
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
4852
python path. (Robert Collins)
4853
4854
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
4855
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
4856
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
4857
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
4858
4859
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
4860
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
4861
4862
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
4863
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
4864
(Robert Collins)
4865
4866
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
4867
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
4868
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
4869
4870
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
4871
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
4872
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
4873
4874
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4875
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4876
4877
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
4878
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
4879
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
4880
(Robert Collins)
4881
4882
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
4883
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
4884
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
4885
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
4886
(Robert Collins)
4887
4888
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
4889
(Robert Collins)
4890
4891
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
4892
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
4893
(Robert Collins)
4894
4895
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
4896
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
4897
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
4898
4899
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
4900
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
4901
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
4902
4903
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
4904
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
4905
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
4906
4907
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4908
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4909
4910
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
4911
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
4912
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
4913
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
4914
caller. (Robert Collins)
4915
4916
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
4917
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
4918
(Robert Collins).
4919
4920
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
4921
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
4922
(Aaron Bentley)
4923
4924
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
4925
4926
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
4927
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
4928
4929
BUG FIXES:
4930
4931
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
4932
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
4933
4934
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
4935
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
4936
4937
4938
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
4939
--------------------
4940
4941
BUG FIXES:
4942
4943
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
4944
allow directories to be listed.
4945
4946
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
4947
upgrading branch format.
4948
4949
PERFORMANCE:
4950
4951
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
4952
4953
4954
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
4955
------------------
4956
4957
NOTES:
4958
4959
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
4960
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
4961
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
4962
high-latency connections.
4963
4964
BUG FIXES:
4965
4966
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
4967
Rob Weir.
4968
4969
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
4970
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
4971
4972
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
4973
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
4974
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
4975
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4976
4977
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
4978
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
4979
4980
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
4981
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
4982
4983
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
4984
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
4985
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4986
4987
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
4988
for files with only a change to their executable status.
4989
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
4990
Robert Collins
4991
4992
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
4993
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
4994
4995
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
4996
different partial views of history.
4997
4998
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
4999
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5000
5001
IMPROVEMENTS:
5002
5003
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5004
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5005
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5006
5007
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5008
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5009
'bzr upgrade'.
5010
5011
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5012
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5013
5014
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5015
Niemeyer.
5016
5017
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5018
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5019
5020
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5021
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5022
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5023
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5024
5025
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5026
5027
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5028
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5029
Gustavo Niemeyer.
5030
5031
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5032
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5033
5034
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5035
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5036
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5037
5038
5039
INTERNALS:
5040
5041
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5042
for your viewing pleasure.
5043
5044
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5045
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5046
5047
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5048
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5049
handling of such circumstances.
5050
5051
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
5052
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
5053
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
5054
5055
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5056
5057
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5058
we call them revisions not patches.
5059
5060
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5061
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5062
5063
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
5064
giving the revision *of that file*.
5065
5066
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
5067
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
5068
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
5069
5070
TESTING:
5071
5072
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
5073
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
5074
5075
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
5076
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``

5079
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
5080
--------------------
5081
5082
BUG FIXES:
5083
5084
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
5085
5086
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
5087
(Robert Collins).
5088
5089
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
5090
5091
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
5092
5093
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
5094
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5095
5096
IMPROVEMENTS:
5097
5098
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
5099
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
5100
5101
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
5102
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
5103
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
5104
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
5105
Robey Pointer
5106
5107
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
5108
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5109
5110
INTERNALS:
5111
5112
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
5113
5114
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
5115
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
5116
5117
5118
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
5119
--------------------
5120
5121
IMPROVEMENTS:
5122
5123
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
5124
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
5125
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
5126
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
5127
Michael Ellerman.
5128
5129
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
5130
(Nir Soffer)
5131
5132
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
5133
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
5134
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
5135
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
5136
for the operating system is still tried.
5137
5138
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
5139
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
5140
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
5141
5142
5143
INTERNALS:
5144
5145
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
5146
5147
BUG FIXES:
5148
5149
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
5150
5151
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
5152
branch.
5153
5154
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
5155
read.
5156
5157
5158
PORTABILITY:
5159
5160
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
5161
5162
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
5163
5164
5165
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
5166
--------------------
5167
5168
NEW FEATURES:
5169
5170
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
5171
help with intelligent shell completion.
5172
5173
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
5174
5175
5176
ENHANCEMENTS:
5177
5178
* Much better merge support.
5179
5180
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
5181
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
5182
like emacs smerge.
5183
5184
5185
BUG FIXES:
5186
5187
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
5188
mention revisions that are not present.
5189
5190
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
5191
5192
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
5193
5194
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
5195
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
5196
5197
5198
CHANGES:
5199
5200
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
5201
5202
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
5203
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
5204
--help themselves.
5205
5206
5207
LIBRARY:
5208
5209
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
5210
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
5211
libraries.
5212
5213
5214
5215
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
5216
--------------------
5217
5218
NEW FEATURES:
5219
5220
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
5221
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
5222
5223
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
5224
5225
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
5226
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
5227
5228
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
5229
FOO.
5230
5231
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
5232
5233
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
5234
the Unix command.
5235
5236
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
5237
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
5238
5239
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
5240
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
5241
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
5242
5243
5244
ENHANCEMENTS:
5245
5246
* Faster working tree operations.
5247
5248
5249
CHANGES:
5250
5251
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
5252
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
5253
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
5254
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
5255
5256
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
5257
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
5258
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
5259
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
5260
standard plugins directory.
5261
5262
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
5263
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
5264
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
5265
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
5266
5267
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
5268
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
5269
5270
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
5271
disk.
5272
5273
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
5274
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
5275
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
5276
5277
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
5278
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
5279
5280
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
5281
line options must come before the command name because they
5282
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
5283
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
5284
it.
5285
5286
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
5287
5288
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
5289
is available with ``--short``.
5290
5291
5292
BUG FIXES:
5293
5294
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
5295
5296
5297
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
5298
---------------------
5299
5300
CHANGES:
5301
5302
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
5303
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5304
5305
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
5306
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
5307
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
5308
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
5309
5310
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
5311
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
5312
with the ``--forward`` option.
5313
5314
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
5315
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
5316
field.
5317
5318
5319
ENHANCEMENTS:
5320
5321
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
5322
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
5323
5324
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
5325
5326
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
5327
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
5328
5329
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
5330
5331
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
5332
either read or write mode.
5333
5334
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
5335
5336
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
5337
affected that file.
5338
5339
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
5340
5341
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
5342
suggested by LarstiQ.
5343
5344
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
5345
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
5346
5347
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
5348
a filename.
5349
5350
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
5351
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
5352
5353
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
5354
haven't changed since the previous time.
5355
5356
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
5357
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
5358
5359
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
5360
5361
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
5362
5363
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
5364
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
5365
5366
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
5367
options through to an external GNU diff.
5368
5369
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
5370
their contents.
5371
5372
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
5373
from a branch.
5374
5375
5376
BUG FIXES:
5377
5378
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
5379
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
5380
5381
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
5382
metacharacters.
5383
5384
5385
TESTING:
5386
5387
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
5388
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
5389
the tests.
5390
5391
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
5392
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
5393
5394
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
5395
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
5396
5397
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
5398
under a different version.
5399
5400
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
5401
5402
5403
INTERNAL:
5404
5405
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
5406
5407
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
5408
Scott James Remnant.
5409
5410
* Better help messages for many commands.
5411
5412
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
5413
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
5414
5415
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
5416
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
5417
5418
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
5419
5420
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
5421
5422
* New AtomicFile class.
5423
5424
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
5425
5426
5427
PORTABILITY:
5428
5429
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
5430
2.4 is now only recommended.
5431
5432
5433
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
5434
---------------------
5435
5436
ENHANCEMENTS:
5437
5438
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
5439
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
5440
5441
* More default ignore patterns.
5442
5443
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
5444
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
5445
5446
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
5447
5448
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
5449
by Jason Diamon.
5450
5451
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
5452
5453
5454
CHANGES:
5455
5456
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
5457
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
5458
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
5459
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
5460
there are DNS problems.
5461
5462
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
5463
5464
5465
BUG FIXES:
5466
5467
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
5468
5469
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
5470
5471
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
5472
trailing newlines properly.
5473
5474
5475
INTERNAL:
5476
5477
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
5478
Matt Brubeck.
5479
5480
* More tests in test.sh.
5481
5482
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
5483
directory and delete it when done.
5484
5485
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
5486
5487
5488
PORTABILITY:
5489
5490
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
5491
Bennetts.
5492
5493
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
5494
from QuantumG.

5497
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
5498
---------------------
5499
5500
ENHANCEMENTS:
5501
5502
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
5503
in the tree.
5504
5505
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
5506
5507
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
5508
and/or directory.
5509
5510
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
5511
directory.
5512
5513
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
5514
5515
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
5516
5517
CHANGES:
5518
5519
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
5520
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
5521
will do for now.)
5522
5523
PORTABILITY:
5524
5525
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
5526
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
5527
Nielsen.
5528
5529
INTERNAL:
5530
5531
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
5532
5533
TESTING:
5534
5535
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.

bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
5547
-----------------------------------
5548
5549
ENHANCEMENTS:
5550
5551
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
5552
5553
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
5554
rather than replacing it.
5555
5556
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
5557
5558
* More help topics.
5559
5560
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
5561
branch.
5562
5563
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
5564
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
5565
5566
* Performance improvements.
5567
5568
* New global --profile option.
5569
5570
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
5571
the root directory only.
5572
5573
5574
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
5575

5576
5577
ENHANCEMENTS:
5578
5579
* More information from info command.
5580
5581
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
5582
5583
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
5584
committing to stores.
5585
5586
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
5587
5588
BUG FIXES:
5589

5591
5592
PORTABILITY:
5593
5594
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
5595
installation easier.
5596
5597
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
5598
supported).
