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

526
527
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
528
---------------------
529
530
CHANGES:
531
532
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
533
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
534
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
535
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
536
537
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
538
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
539
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
540
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
541
542
FEATURES:
543
544
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
545
(Lukáš Lalinský)
546
547
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
548
(Aaron Bentley)
549
550
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
551
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
552
553
IMPROVEMENTS:
554
555
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
556
#90049)
557
558
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
559
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
560
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
561
562
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
563
564
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
565
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
566
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
567
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
568
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
569
570
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
571
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
572
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
573
574
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
575
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
576
577
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
578
(Vincent Ladeuil)
579
580
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
581
582
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
583
584
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
585
(Aaron Bentley)
586
587
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
588
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
589
590
BUGFIXES:
591
592
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
593
(Martin Pool, #180208)
594
595
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
596
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
597
598
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
599
(Aaron Bentley)
600
601
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
602
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
603
604
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
605
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
606
607
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
608
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
609
610
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
611
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
612
613
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
614
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
615
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
616
617
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
618
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
619
620
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
621
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
622
(Aaron Bentley)
623
624
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
625
626
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
627
user:pass embedded in the urls.
628
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
629
630
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
631
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
632
633
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
634
(Aaron Bentley)
635
636
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
637
#148087)
638
639
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
640
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
641
642
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
643
#137681)
644
645
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
646
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
647
(Aaron Bentley)
648
649
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
650
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
651
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
652
653
DOCUMENTATION:
654
655
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
656
(Ian Clatworthy)
657
658
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
659
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
660
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
661
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
662
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
663
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
664
665
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
666
667
INTERNALS:
668
669
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
670
(Aaron Bentley)
671
672
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
673
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
674
675
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
676
677
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
678
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
679
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
680
Robert Collins)
681
682
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
683
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
684
685
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
686
(Vincent Ladeuil)
687
688
API BREAKS:
689
690
TESTING:
691
692
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
693
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
694
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
695
696
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
697
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
698
(Robert Collins)
699
700
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
701
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
702
703
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
704
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
705
706
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
707
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
708
709
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
710
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
711
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
712
713
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
714
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
715
716
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
717
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
718
719
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
720
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
721
(Vincent Ladeuil)
722
723
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
724
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
725
726
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
727
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

CHANGES:
751
752
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
753
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
754
by mail to the mailing list.
755
(Martin Pool)
756
757
BUGFIXES:
758
759
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
760
761
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
762
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
763
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
764
feedback but also incur more latency.
765
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
766
767
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
768
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
769
770
DOCUMENTATION:
771
772
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
773

* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
775
(Ian Clatworthy)
776
777
INTERNALS:
778
779
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
780
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
781
wraps its output in a StringIO.

788
IMPROVEMENTS:
789
790
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
791
792
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
793
(Aaron Bentley)
794
795
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
796
Nordhoff, #172612)
797
798
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
799
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
800
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
801
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
802
803
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
804
(Kent Gibson)
805
806
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
807
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
808
809
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
810
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
811
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
812
813
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
814
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
815
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
816
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
817
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
818
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
819
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
820
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
821
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
822
823
INTERNALS:
824
825
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
826
(Vincent Ladeuil)
827
828
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
829
830
BUGFIXES:
831
832
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
833
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
834
835
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
836
filename to user.
837
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
838
839
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
840
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
841
required.
842
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
843
844
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
845
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
846
847
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
848
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
849
850
API BREAKS:

853
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)

bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
857
---------------------
858
859
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
860
861
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
862
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
863
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
864
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
865
866
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
867
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
868
869
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
870
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
871
872
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
873
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
874
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
875
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
876
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
877
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
878
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
879
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
880
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
881
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
882
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
883
from any tree without problems.
884
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
885
886
CHANGES:
887
888
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
889
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
890
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
891
892
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
893
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
894
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
895
(Martin Pool)
896
897
FEATURES:
898
899
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
900
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
901
supported transports.
902
(Vincent Ladeuil)
903
904
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
905
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
906
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
907
908
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
909
(Robert Collins, #154173)
910
911
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
912
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
913
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
914
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
915
916
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
917
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
918
919
PERFORMANCE:
920
921
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
922
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
923
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
924
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
925
926
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
927
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
928
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
929
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
930
931
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
932
(Robert Collins, #88319)
933
934
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
935
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
936
937
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
938
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
939
940
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
941
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
942
(Aaron Bentley)
943
944
IMPROVEMENTS:
945
946
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
947
(Aaron Bentley)
948
949
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
950
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
951
(Lukáš Lalinský)
952
953
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
954
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
955
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
956
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
957
958
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from

1014
on them.
1015
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1016
1017

whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1019
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)

(Robert Collins, #161240)
1023
1024

1025
to be reconciled.
1026
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1027
1028
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1029
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1030
1031
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1032
specify a port in urls.

repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
1049
(Robert Collins, #165304).
1050
1051
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
1052
1053
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
1054
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)

1067
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
1068
1069
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
1070
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
1071
1072
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
1073
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
1074
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
1075
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
1076
1077
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
1078
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
1079
1080
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
1081
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
1082
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
1083
1084
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
1085
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
1086
1087
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
1088
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
1089
1090
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
1091
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
1092
1093
API BREAKS:
1094
1095
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
1096
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
1097
1098
* The return value of
1099
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
1100
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
1101
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
1102
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
1103
1104
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
1105
(Robert Collins)
1106
1107
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
1108
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
1109
format.
1110
(Martin Pool)
1111
1112
INTERNALS:
1113
1114
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
1115
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
1116
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
1117
Bennetts)
1118
1119
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
1120
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
1121
1122
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1139
1140
CHANGES:
1141
1142
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
1143
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
1144
1145
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
1146
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
1147
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
1148
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
1149
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
1150
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
1151
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
1152
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
1153
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
1154
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
1155
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
1156
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
1157
(Robert Collins)
1158
1159
FEATURES:
1160
1161
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
1162
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
1163
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
1164
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
1165
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
1166
for further details. (Robert Collins)
1167
1168
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
1169
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
1170
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
1171
(Robert Collins)
1172
1173
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
1174
1175
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
1176
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
1177
1178
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
1179
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
1180
(Aaron Bentley)
1181
1182
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
1183
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
1184
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
1185
1186
PERFORMANCE:
1187
1188
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
1189
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1190
1191
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
1192
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
1193
1194
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
1195
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
1196
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
1197
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
1198
1199
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
1200
(Robert Collins)
1201
1202
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
1203
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
1204
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
1205
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
1206
1207
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
1208
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
1209
1210
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
1211
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1212
1213
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
1214
the contents. (Robert Collins)
1215
1216
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
1217
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
1218
1219
IMPROVEMENTS:
1220
1221
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
1222
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
1223
1224
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
1225
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
1226
1227
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
1228
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
1229
1230
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
1231
(Martin Pool, #63894)
1232
1233
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
1234
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
1235
1236
DOCUMENTATION:
1237
1238
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
1239
1240
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
1241
(Ian Clatworthy)
1242
1243
BUG FIXES:
1244
1245
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
1246
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
1247
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
1248
1249
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
1250
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
1251
1252
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
1253
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
1254
1255
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
1256
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
1257
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
1258
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
1259
1260
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
1261
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
1262
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
1263
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
1264
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
1265
1266
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
1267
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
1268
paramiko.
1269
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
1270
1271
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1272
1273
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
1274
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
1275
1276
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
1277
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
1278
1279
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
1280
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
1281
1282
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
1283
contains a symbolic link.
1284
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
1285
1286
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
1287
(James Westby, #140615)
1288
1289
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
1290
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
1291
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
1292
1293
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
1294
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
1295
(Martin Pool, #144633)
1296
1297
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1298
1299
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
1300
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
1301
1302
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
1303
will remain opened.
1304
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
1305
1306
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
1307
directory to detect leaking tests.
1308
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
1309
1310
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
1311
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
1312
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
1313
1314
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
1315
(Rob Weir, #141629)
1316
1317
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
1318
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
1319
1320
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
1321
Merwe)
1322
1323
API BREAKS:
1324
1325
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
1326
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
1327
1328
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
1329
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
1330
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
1331
1332
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
1333
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
1334
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
1335
1336
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
1337
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
1338
1339
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
1340
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
1341
1342
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
1343
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
1344
(Martin Pool)
1345
1346
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
1347
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
1348
1349
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
1350
class that needs it.
1351
(Martin Pool)
1352
1353
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
1354
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
1355
1356
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
1357
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
1358
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
1359
1360
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
1361
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
1362
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
1363
(Robert Collins)
1364
1365
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
1366
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
1367
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
1368
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
1369
(Robert Collins)
1370
1371
INTERNALS:
1372
1373
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1374
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1375
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1376
1377
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1378
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1379
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1380
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1381
1382
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1383
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1384
(Robert Collins)
1385
1386
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1387
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1388
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1389
1390
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1391
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1392
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1393
1394
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1395
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1396
1397
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1398
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1399
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1400
1401
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1402
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1403
1404
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1405
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1406
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1407
1408
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1409
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1410
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1411
1412
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1413
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1414
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1415
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1416
1417
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1418
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1419
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1420
returned. (Robert Collins)
1421
1422
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1423
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1424
1425
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1426
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1427
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1428
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1429
(Robert Collins)
1430
1431
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1432
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1433
1434
TESTING:
1435
1436
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1437
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1438
1439
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1440
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1441
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1442
makes this behavior available to other users.
1443
(Martin Pool)
1444
1445
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1446
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

1450
-------------------
1451
1452
BUG FIXES:
1453
1454
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1455
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1456
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1457
1458
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1459
1460
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1461
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1462
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1463
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1464
1465
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1466
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
1467
(Andrew Bennetts)

1469
1470
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1471
----------------------
1472
1473
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
1474
in bzrlib/remote.py.
1475
1476
1477
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
1478
----------------------
1479
1480
CHANGES:
1481
1482
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1483
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1484
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1485
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1486
(Martin Pool)
1487
1488
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1489
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1490
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1491
(Ian Clatworthy)
1492
1493
FEATURES:
1494
1495
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1496
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1497
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1498
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1499
1500
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1501
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1502
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1503
1504
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1505
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1506
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1507
1508
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1509
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1510
1511
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1512
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1513
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1514
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1515
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1516
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1517
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1518
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1519
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1520
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1521
1522
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1523
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1524
1525
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1526
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1527
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1528
1529
BUG FIXES:
1530
1531
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1532
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1533
1534
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1535
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1536
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1537
1538
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1539
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1540
1541
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1542
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1543
1544
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1545
(Aaron Bentley)
1546
1547
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1548
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1549
1550
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1551
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1552
1553
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1554
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1555
1556
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1557
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1558
1559
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1560
1561
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1562
Watkins, #106726)
1563
1564
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1565
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1566
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1567
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1568
1569
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1570
1571
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1572
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1573
#133548)
1574
1575
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1576
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1577
1578
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1579
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1580
#116143)
1581
1582
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1583
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1584
1585
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1586
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1587
1588
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1589
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1590
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1591
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1592
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1593
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1594
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1595
1596
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1597
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1598
1599
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1600
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1601
1602
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1603
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1604
1605
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1606
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1607
1608
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1609
connections.
1610
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1611
1612
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1613
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1614
1615
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1616
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1617
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1618
1619
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1620
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1621
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1622
1623
IMPROVEMENTS:
1624
1625
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1626
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1627
1628
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1629
(Aaron Bentley)
1630
1631
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1632
(Aaron Bentley)
1633
1634
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1635
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1636
1637
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1638
1639
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1640
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1641
1642
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1643
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1644
1645
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1646
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1647
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1648
space). (Robert Collins)
1649
1650
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1651
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1652
(Ian Clatworthy)
1653
1654
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1655
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1656
1657
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1658
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1659
1660
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1661
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1662
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1663
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1664
1665
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1666
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1667
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1668
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1669
1670
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1671
(Ian Clatworthy)
1672
1673
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1674
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1675
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1676
1677
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1678
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1679
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1680
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1681
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1682
1683
API BREAKS:
1684
1685
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1686
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1687
1688
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1689
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1690
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1691
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1692
affected. (Robert Collins)
1693
1694
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1695
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1696
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1697
(Robert Collins)
1698
1699
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1700
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1701
1702
TESTING:
1703
1704
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1705
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1706
1707
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1708
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1709
1710
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1711
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1712
1713
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1714
(Aaron Bentley)
1715
1716
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1717
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1718
1719
INTERNALS:
1720
1721
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1722
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1723
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1724
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1725
1726
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1727
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1728
1729
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1730
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1731
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1732
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1733
1734
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1735
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1736
present. (Robert Collins)
1737
1738
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1739
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1740
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1741
API. (Robert Collins)
1742
1743
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1744
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1745
(Robert Collins)
1746
1747
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1748
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1749
1750
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1751
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1752
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1753
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1754
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1755
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1756
1757
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1758
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1759
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1760
1761
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1762
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1763
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1764
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1765
protocol.
1766
1767
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1768
(Aaron Bentley)
1769
1770
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1771
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1772
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1773
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1774
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1775
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1776
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1777
1778
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1779
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1780
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1781
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1782
1783
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1784
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1785
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1786
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1787
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1788
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1789
1790
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1791
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1792
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1793
1794
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1795
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1796

bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
1799
-------------------
1800
1801
IMPROVEMENTS:
1802
1803
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1804
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1805
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1806
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1807
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1808
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1809
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
1811
1812
1813
API CHANGES:
1814
1815
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1816
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1817
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
1818

1820
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
1821
----------------------
1822
1823
BUGFIXES:
1824
1825
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1826
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1827
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1828
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1829
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1830
1831
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1832
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1833
1834
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1835
anymore.
1836
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
1837
1838
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
1839
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
1840
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1841
1842
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
1843
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
1844
#111664)
1845
1846
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
1847
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1848
1849
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
1850
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
1851
1852
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
1853
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
1854
1855
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
1856
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
1857
1858
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
1859
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
1860
1861
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
1862
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
1863
1864
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
1865
(Aaron Bentley)
1866
1867
IMPROVEMENTS:
1868
1869
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
1870
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
1871
1872
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
1873
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
1874
1875
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
1876
the repository (Robert Collins)
1877
1878
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
1879
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
1880
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
1881
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
1882
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
1883
1884
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
1885
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1886
1887
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
1888
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
1889
(John Arbash Meinel)
1890
1891
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
1892
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
1893
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
1894
about 10%).
1895
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
1896
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
1897
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
1898
(John Arbash Meinel)
1899
1900
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
1901
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
1902
(Robert Collins)
1903
1904
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
1905
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
1906
1907
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
1908
(Ian Clatworthy)
1909
1910
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
1911
1912
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1913
1914
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
1915
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
1916
1917
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
1918
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
1919
Meinel)
1920
1921
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
1922
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
1923
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
1924
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1925
1926
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
1927
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
1928
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
1929
1930
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
1931
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
1932
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
1933
1934
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
1935
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
1936
1937
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
1938
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
1939
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
1940
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
1941
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
1942
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
1943
(Ian Clatworthy)
1944
1945
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
1946
(Alexander Belchenko)
1947
1948
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
1949
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
1950
1951
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
1952
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
1953
1954
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1955
1956
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
1957
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
1958
1959
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1960
1961
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
1962
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
1963
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
1964
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
1965
1966
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
1967
1968
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
1969
(Robert Collins)
1970
1971
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
1972
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
1973
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
1974
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
1975
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
1976
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
1977
1978
INTERNALS:
1979
1980
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
1981
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
1982
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
1983
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
1984
1985
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
1986
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
1987
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
1988
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
1989
tests have been refactored too.
1990
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1991
1992
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
1993
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
1994
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
1995
list, it will.
1996
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1997
1998
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
1999
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2000
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2001
2002
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2003
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2004
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2005
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2006
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2007
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2008
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2009
2010
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2011
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2012
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2013
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2014
(John Arbash Meinel)
2015
2016
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2017
functionality for testing.
2018
2019
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2020
2021
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2022
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2023
2024
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2025
2026
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2027
(Robert Collins)
2028
2029
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2030
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2031
2032
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2033
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2034
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2035
2036
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2037
(Aaron Bentley)
2038
2039
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2040
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2041
2042
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2043
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2044
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2045
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2046
2047
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2048
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2049
2050
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2051
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2052
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2053
2054
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2055
(Marius Kruger)
2056
2057
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2058
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2059
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2060
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2061
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
2062
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2063
2064
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
2065
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
2066
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
2067
many files. (Robert Collins)
2068
2069
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
2070
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
2071
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
2072
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
2073
2074
TESTING:
2075
2076
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
2077
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
2078
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
2079
2080
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
2081
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
2082
2083
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
2084
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
2085
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
2100
2101
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
2102
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
2103
2104
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
2105
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
2106
(James Westby, #122656)
2107
2108
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
2109
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
2110
2111
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
2112
authentication header.
2113
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
2114
2115
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
2116
2117
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
2118
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
2119
2120
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
2121
2122
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
2123
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
2124
2125
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
2126
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
2127
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
2128
2129
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
2130
individually and as part of revision ranges.
2131
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
2132
2133
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
2134
(Martin Pool, #109169)
2135
2136
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
2137
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
2138
2139
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
2140
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
2141
2142
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2143
2144
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
2145
2146
IMPROVEMENTS:
2147
2148
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
2149
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
2150
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
2151
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
2152
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
2153
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
2154
2155
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
2156
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
2157
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
2158
2159
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
2160
(Elliot Murphy)
2161
2162
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
2163
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
2164
2165
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
2166
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
2167
2168
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
2169
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
2170
2171
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
2172
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
2173
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
2174
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
2175
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
2176
2177
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
2178
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
2179
2180
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
2181
can be slow it is useful feedback).
2182
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
2183
2184
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
2185
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
2186
2187
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
2188
2189
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
2190
output. (Aaron Bentley)
2191
2192
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
2193
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
2194
(Robert Collins)
2195
2196
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
2197
(Martin Pool)
2198
2199
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
2200
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
2201
2202
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
2203
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
2204
2205
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
2206
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
2207
2208
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
2209
2210
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
2211
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
2212
2213
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
2214
(Andrew Bennetts)
2215
2216
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2217
2218
* Testing cleanups -
2219
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2220
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
2221
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2222
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
2223
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2224
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
2225
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2226
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
2227
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2228
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
2229
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
2230
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
2231
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2232
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
2233
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2234
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
2235
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
2236
(Robert Collins)
2237
2238
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
2239
2240
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
2241
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
2242
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
2243
2244
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
2245
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
2246
2247
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
2248
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2249
2250
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
2251
2252
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
2253
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
2254
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
2255
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
2256
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
2257
same location. (Robert Collins)
2258
2259
INTERNALS:
2260
2261
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
2262
2263
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
2264
2265
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
2266
2267
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
2268
(Martin Pool)
2269
2270
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
2271
(Martin Pool)
2272
2273
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
2274
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
2275
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
2276
2277
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
2278
2279
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
2280
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
2281
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
2282
2283
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
2284
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
2285
2286
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
2287
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
2288
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
2289
2290
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
2291
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
2292
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
2293
2294
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
2295
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
2296
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
2297
2298
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
2299
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
2300
Martin Pool)
2301
2302
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
2303
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
2304
2305
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
2306
(Alexander Belchenko)
2307
2308
TESTING:
2309
2310
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
2311
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
2312
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
2313
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2314
2315
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
2316
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
2317
testing. (Robert Collins)
2318
2319
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
2320
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
2321
2322
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
2323
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
2324
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
2325
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
2326
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
2327
attribute during the test parameterisation in
2328
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
2329
2330
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
2331
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
2332
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
2333
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
2334
2335
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
2336
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
2337
2338
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
2339
avoid useless cloning.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2359
2360
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
2361
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
2362
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
2363
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
2364
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
2365
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
2366
and unlock() like so::
2367
2368
work_tree.lock_read()
2369
try:
2370
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
2371
finally:
2372
work_tree.unlock()
2373
2374
INTERNALS:
2375
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
2376
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
2377
object.
2378
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
2379
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
2380
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
2381
2382
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2383
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2384
too. (Robert Collins)
2385
2386
IMPROVEMENTS:
2387
2388
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
2389
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
2390
Aaron Bentley)
2391
2392
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
2393
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
2394
2395
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
2396
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
2397
2398
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
2399
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
2400
understanding what changes have occurred
2401
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
2402
2403
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
2404
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
2405
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2406
2407
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
2408
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
2409
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
2410
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2411
2412
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2413
#56322)
2414
2415
BUGFIXES:
2416
2417
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
2418
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
2419
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
2420
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
2421
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
2422
2423
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2424
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2425
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2426
2427
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
2428
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
2429
2430
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
2431
into account.
2432
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2433
2434
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2435
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2436
2437
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2438
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2439
2440
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2441
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2442
2443
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2444
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2445
2446
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2447
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2448
2449
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2450
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2451
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

2454
--------------------
2455
2456
BUGFIXES:
2457
2458
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2459
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2460
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2461
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2462
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2463
2464
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2465
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2466
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2467
2468
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2469
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2470
2471
IMPROVEMENTS:
2472
2473
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2474
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2475
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2476
2477
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2478
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2479
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2480
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

2483
-----------------------
2484
2485
BUGFIXES:
2486
2487
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2488
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2489
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2490
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2491
2492
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2493
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2494
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
2495
2496
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2497
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
2498
2499
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
2500
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
2501
2502
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
2503
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

2505
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
2506
-----------------------
2507
2508
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2509
2510
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
2511
it could be recovered again.
2512
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
2513
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
2514
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
2515
but not delete it.
2516
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
2517
files.
2518
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
2519
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
2520
2521
IMPROVEMENTS:
2522
2523
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
2524
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
2525
2526
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
2527
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
2528
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
2529
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
2530
2531
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
2532
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
2533
2534
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
2535
tests with names that match that regular expression.
2536
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
2537
2538
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
2539
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
2540
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
2541
2542
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
2543
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
2544
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
2545
2546
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
2547
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
2548
Robert Collins)
2549
2550
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
2551
Pool)
2552
2553
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
2554
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
2555
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
2556
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
2557
2558
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
2559
(Robert Collins)
2560
2561
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
2562
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
2563
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
2564
(Robert Collins)
2565
2566
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
2567
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
2568
2569
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
2570
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
2571
2572
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
2573
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
2574
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
2575
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
2576
(Robert Collins)
2577
2578
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
2579
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
2580
2581
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
2582
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2583
2584
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
2585
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
2586
(Robert Collins, #107125).
2587
2588
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
2589
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
2590
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
2591
2592
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
2593
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
2594
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2595
2596
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
2597
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
2598
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
2599
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
2600
2601
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
2602
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
2603
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
2604
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
2605
2606
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
2607
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
2608
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
2609
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
2610
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
2611
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
2612
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
2613
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
2614
header(s).
2615
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2616
2617
INTERNALS:
2618
2619
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
2620
code paths. (Robert Collins)
2621
2622
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
2623
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
2624
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
2625
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
2626
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2627
2628
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
2629
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
2630
2631
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
2632
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
2633
2634
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
2635
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
2636
2637
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
2638
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
2639
2640
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
2641
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
2642
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
2643
(Robert Collins).
2644
2645
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
2646
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
2647
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
2648
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
2649
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
2650
(Robert Collins)
2651
2652
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
2653
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
2654
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
2655
2656
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
2657
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
2658
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2659
2660
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
2661
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
2662
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
2663
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2664
2665
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
2666
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
2667
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
2668
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
2669
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
2670
2671
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
2672
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
2673
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
2674
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2675
2676
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
2677
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2678
2679
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
2680
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
2681
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
2682
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
2683
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
2684
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
2685
2686
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
2687
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
2688
2689
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
2690
help. (Robert Collins)
2691
2692
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
2693
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2694
2695
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
2696
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
2697
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
2698
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
2699
(John Arbash Meinel)
2700
2701
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
2702
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
2703
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
2704
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
2705
useful. (Robert Collins)
2706
2707
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
2708
(Andrew Bennetts)
2709
2710
BUGFIXES:
2711
2712
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
2713
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
2714
2715
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
2716
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
2717
2718
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
2719
properly and is no longer beneficial.
2720
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
2721
2722
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2723
(Aaron Bentley)
2724
2725
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2726
the file, and does it faster.
2727
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2728
2729
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2730
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2731
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2732
2733
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2734
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2735
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2736
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2737
2738
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2739
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2740
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2741
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2742
2743
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2744
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2745
2746
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2747
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2748
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2749
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2750
Arbash Meinel)
2751
2752
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2753
2754
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2755
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2756
2757
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2758
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2759
2760
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2761
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2762
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2763
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2764
security hole.
2765
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2766
2767
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2768
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2769
2770
TESTING:
2771
2772
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2773
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2774
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2775
2776
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2777
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2778
2779
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2780
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2781
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2782
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2783
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2784
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2785
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2786
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2787
2788
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2789
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2790
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2791
2792
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2793
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2794
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2795
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2796
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2797
access.
2798
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2799
2800
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2801
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2802
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2803
2804
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2805
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

2823
CHANGES:
2824
2825
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2826
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2827
(Martin Pool)
2828
2829
IMPROVEMENTS:
2830
2831
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2832
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2833
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2834
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2835
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
2836
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
2837
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
2838
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
2839
path. (vila)
2840
2841
INTERNALS:
2842
2843
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
2844
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
2845
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
2846
2847
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
2848
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
2849
(Martin Pool)
2850
2851
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
2852
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
2853
(John Arbash Meinel)
2854
2855
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
2856
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
2857
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
2858
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
2859
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
2860
2861
BUGFIXES:
2862
2863
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
2864
(vila, #92195)
2865
2866
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
2867
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
2868
2869
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
2870
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
2871
2872
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
2873
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
2874
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
2875
2876
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
2877
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
2878
2879
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
2880
last-changed-revision for directories. The
2881
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
2882
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
2883
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
2884
2885
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
2886
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
2887
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
2888
2889
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

2893
-----------------------
2894
2895
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2896
2897
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
2898
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
2899
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
2900
2901
IMPROVEMENTS:
2902
2903
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
2904
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
2905
2906
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
2907
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
2908
2909
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2910
2911
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
2912
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
2913
2914
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
2915
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
2916
2917
INTERNALS:
2918
2919
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
2920
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
2921
2922
BUGFIXES:
2923
2924
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
2925
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
2926
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
2927
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2928
2929
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
2930
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
2931
2932
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
2933
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
2934
2935
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
2936
(Marien Zwart)
2937
2938
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
2939
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)

2942
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
2943
-----------------------
2944
2945
SURPRISES:
2946
2947
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
2948
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
2949
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
2950
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
2951
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
2952
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
2953
2954
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
2955
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
2956
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
2957
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
2958
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
2959
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
2960
development.
2961
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2962
2963
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
2964
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
2965
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
2966
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
2967
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
2968
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
2969
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
2970
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2971
2972
IMPROVEMENTS:
2973
2974
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
2975
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
2976
2977
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
2978
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
2979
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
2980
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
2981
does exist.
2982
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
2983
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
2984
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
2985
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
2986
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
2987
2988
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
2989
(Aaron Bentley)
2990
2991
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
2992
(Aaron Bentley)
2993
2994
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
2995
(Robert Collins)
2996
2997
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
2998
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
2999
(Aaron Bentley)
3000
3001
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3002
(Aaron Bentley)
3003
3004
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3005
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3006
3007
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3008
directory. (Martin Pool)
3009
3010
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3011
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3012
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3013
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3014
3015
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3016
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3017
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3018
in docs/configuration.txt.
3019
3020
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3021
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
3022
bind location.
3023
3024
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
3025
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
3026
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
3027
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
3028
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
3029
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3030
3031
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3032
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3033
3034
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3035
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3036
3037
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
3038
(Aaron Bentley)
3039
3040
INTERNALS:
3041
3042
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
3043
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
3044
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
3045
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
3046
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
3047
(John Arbash Meinel)
3048
3049
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
3050
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
3051
(Aaron Bentley)
3052
3053
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
3054
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
3055
(John Arbash Meinel)
3056
3057
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
3058
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
3059
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
3060
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
3061
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
3062
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
3063
3064
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
3065
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
3066
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
3067
3068
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
3069
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
3070
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
3071
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
3072
repository.
3073
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3074
3075
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
3076
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
3077
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
3078
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
3079
3080
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
3081
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
3082
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
3083
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
3084
3085
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
3086
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
3087
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
3088
3089
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
3090
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
3091
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
3092
3093
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
3094
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
3095
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
3096
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
3097
3098
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
3099
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
3100
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
3101
3102
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
3103
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
3104
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
3105
3106
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
3107
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
3108
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
3109
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
3110
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
3111
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
3112
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
3113
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
3114
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
3115
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
3116
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
3117
3118
BUGFIXES:
3119
3120
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
3121
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
3122
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
3123
3124
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
3125
(Aaron Bentley)
3126
3127
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
3128
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
3129
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
3130
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
3131
3132
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
3133
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
3134
#83954).
3135
3136
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
3137
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
3138
3139
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
3140
3141
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
3142
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
3143
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
3144
3145
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
3146
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
3147
3148
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
3149
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
3150
3151
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
3152
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
3153
3154
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
3155
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
3156
3157
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
3158
3159
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
3160
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
3161
3162
TESTING:
3163
3164
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
3165
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

--------------------
3170
3171
IMPROVEMENTS:
3172
3173
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
3174
3175
BUG FIXES:
3176
3177
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
3178
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
3179
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
3180
3181
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
3182
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
3183
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

3185
3186
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
3187
-----------------------
3188
3189
IMPROVEMENTS:
3190
3191
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
3192
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
3193
server, then you can write over the http connection.
3194
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3195
3196
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
3197
(Marius Kruger)
3198
3199
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
3200
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
3201
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3202
3203
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
3204
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
3205
3206
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
3207
(Aaron Bentley)
3208
3209
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
3210
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
3211
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
3212
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
3213
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
3214
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
3215
3216
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
3217
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
3218
should enable you to do::
3219
3220
[/home/user/project]
3221
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
3222
push_location:policy = appendpath
3223
3224
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
3225
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
3226
(James Henstridge)
3227
3228
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
3229
for each file. For example::
3230
3231
$ bzr status --short
3232
A foo
3233
A bar
3234

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

IMPROVEMENTS:
3327
3328
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
3329
tree from a branch.
3330
(Daniel Silverstone)
3331
3332
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
3333
operations are substantially faster.
3334
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
3335
3336
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
3337
tree from some other url. For example:
3338
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
3339
(Daniel Silverstone)
3340
3341
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
3342
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
3343
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
3344
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
3345
3346
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
3347
(Andrew Bennetts)
3348
3349
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
3350
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
3351
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
3352
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
3353
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
3354
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
3355
3356
INTERNALS:
3357
3358
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
3359
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
3360
(Martin Pool)
3361
3362
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3363
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3364
(John Arbash Meinel)
3365
3366
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
3367
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
3368
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
3369
(John Arbash Meinel)
3370
3371
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
3372
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3373
3374
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3375
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3376
3377
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3378
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3379
Bennetts)
3380
3381
BUG FIXES:
3382
3383
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
3384
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
3385
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
3386
3387
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
3388
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
3389
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
3390
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
3391
3392
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3393
3394
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3395
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3396
3397
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3398
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3399
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
3400
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3401
3402
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3403
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3404
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3405
3406
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3407
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3408
them as full references rather than integers.
3409
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3410
3411
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3412
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3413
3414
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3415
3416
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3417
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3418
3419
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3420
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3421
3422
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3423
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3424
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3425
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3426
3427
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3428
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3429
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3430
3431
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3432
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3433
3434
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3435
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3436
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3437
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3438
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3439
3440
TESTING:
3441
3442
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3443
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

3446
--------------------
3447
3448
INTERNALS:
3449
3450
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,

3454
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
3455
-----------------------
3456
3457
IMPROVEMENTS:
3458
3459
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3460
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3461
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3462
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3463
3464
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3465
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3466
3467
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3468
3469
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3470
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3471
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3472
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3473
3474
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3475
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3476
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3477
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3478
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3479
3480
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3481
3482
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3483
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3484
3485
INTERNALS:
3486
3487
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3488
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3489
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3490
3491
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3492
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3493
(John Arbash Meinel)
3494
3495
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3496
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3497
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3498
3499
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3500
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3501
(Aaron Bentley)
3502
3503
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3504
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3505
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3506
3507
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3508
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3509
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3510
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3511
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3512
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3513
3514
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3515
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3516
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3517
(Robert Collins)
3518
3519
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3520
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3521
3522
BUG FIXES:
3523
3524
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3525
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3526
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3527
#63360, #66349)
3528
3529
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3530
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3531
3532
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3533
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3534
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3535
3536
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3537
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3538
3539
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3540
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3541
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3542
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3543
3544
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3545
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3546
3547
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3548
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3549
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3550
3551
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3552
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3553
3554
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3555
3556
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3557
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3558
#32054)
3559
3560
TESTING:
3561
3562
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3563
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3564
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3565
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3566
3567
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3568
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3569
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)

3587
-----------------------
3588
3589
IMPROVEMENTS:
3590
3591
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3592
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3593
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3594
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3595
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3596
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3597
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3598
3599
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3600
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3601
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3602
3603
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3604
3605
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3606
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3607
3608
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3609
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3610
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3611
(Robert Collins)
3612
3613
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3614
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3615
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3616
(John Arbash Meinel)
3617
3618
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3619
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3620
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3621
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3622
Pool)
3623
3624
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3625
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3626
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
3627
(John Arbash Meinel)
3628
3629
BUG FIXES:
3630
3631
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
3632
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
3633
3634
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3635
3636
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3637
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3638
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
3639
3640
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3641
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
3642
3643
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3644
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3645
3646
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3647
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3648
3649
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
3650
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
3651
3652
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3653
3654
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3655
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3656
3657
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3658
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3659
3660
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3661
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3662
3663
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3664
(John Arbash Meinel)
3665
3666
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3667
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3668
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3669
3670
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3671
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3672
3673
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3674
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3675
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3676
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3677
3678
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3679
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3680
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
3681
3682
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
3683
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
3684
3685
PORTABILITY:
3686
3687
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3688
3689
INTERNALS:
3690
3691
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3692
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3693
(John Arbash Meinel)
3694
3695
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3696
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3697
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3698
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3699
3700
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3701
(Andrew Bennetts)
3702
3703
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3704
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3705
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3706
3707
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3708
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3709
3710
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3711
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3712
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3713
3714
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3715
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3716
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3717
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3718
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3719
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3720
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3721
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3722
caller to repeat their request.
3723
(John Arbash Meinel)
3724
3725
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3726
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3727
3728
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3729
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3730
3731
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3732
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3733
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3734
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3735
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3736
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3737
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3738
3739
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3740
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3741
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3742
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3743
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3744
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3745
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3746
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3747
(Robert Collins)
3748
3749
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3750
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3751
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3752
3753
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3754
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3755
3756
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3757
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3758
3759
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3760
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3761
3762
TESTING:
3763
3764
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3765
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3766
3767
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3768
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3769
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3770
3771
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3772
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3773
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3774
3775
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
3776
--------------------
3777
3778
IMPROVEMENTS:
3779
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3780
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3781
3782
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3783
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3784
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3785
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3786
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3787
3788
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3789
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3790
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3791
3792
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3793
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3794
3795
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3796
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3797
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3798
3799
BUG FIXES:
3800
3801
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3802
3803
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3804
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
3805
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
3806
3807
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
3808
3809
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
3810
3811
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
3812
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
3813
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
3814
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
3815
3816
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
3817
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
3818
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
3819
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
3820
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
3821
3822
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
3823
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
3824
3825
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
3826
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
3827
3828
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
3829
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
3830
3831
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
3832
in handling of revision properties.
3833
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
3834
3835
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
3836
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
3837
3838
INTERNALS:
3839
3840
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
3841
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
3842
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
3843
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
3844
(John Arbash Meinel)
3845
3846
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
3847
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
3848
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3849
3850
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
3851
---------------------
3852
3853
SURPRISES:
3854
3855
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
3856
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
3857
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
3858
specific one '.bzrignore'.
3859
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
3860
a more conservative list than the old default.
3861
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
3862
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
3863
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
3864
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
3865
3866
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
3867
to more locations than just branch locations.
3868
(Aaron Bentley)
3869
3870
IMPROVEMENTS:
3871
3872
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
3873
revno:N:branch. For example,
3874
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
3875
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
3876
3877
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
3878
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
3879
the path of a file that has been versioned.
3880
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
3881
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
3882
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
3883
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
3884
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
3885
#42517, #42514)
3886
3887
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
3888
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
3889
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
3890
(Malone #3507)
3891
3892
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
3893
(Alexander Belchenko)
3894
3895
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
3896
3897
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
3898
(Robert Collins).
3899
3900
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
3901
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
3902
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
3903
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
3904
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
3905
(John Arbash Meinel)
3906
3907
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
3908
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
3909
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
3910
grained analysis of performance.
3911
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3912
3913
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
3914
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
3915
3916
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
3917
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
3918
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
3919
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
3920
file. (Robert Collins).
3921
3922
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
3923
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
3924
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
3925
3926
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
3927
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
3928
Matthieu Moy)
3929
3930
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
3931
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
3932
3933
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
3934
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
3935
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
3936
the same way you would apply another branch.
3937
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3938
3939
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
3940
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
3941
3942
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
3943
(Michael Ellerman)
3944
3945
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
3946
(Aaron Bentley)
3947
3948
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
3949
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
3950
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
3951
3952
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
3953
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
3954
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
3955
3956
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
3957
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
3958
3959
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
3960
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
3961
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
3962
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
3963
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
3964
3965
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
3966
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
3967
3968
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
3969
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
3970
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
3971
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
3972
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
3973
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
3974
branch is as much as 4x faster.
3975
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
3976
3977
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
3978
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
3979
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
3980
3981
BUG FIXES:
3982
3983
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
3984
tests not to run.
3985
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
3986
3987
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
3988
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3989
3990
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
3991
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
3992
3993
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
3994
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
3995
3996
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
3997
3998
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
3999
(John Arbash Meinel)
4000
4001
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4002
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4003
4004
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4005
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4006
and y.
4007
4008
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4009
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4010
4011
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4012
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4013
4014
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4015
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4016
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4017
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4018
4019
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4020
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4021
4022
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4023
4024
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4025
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4026
4027
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4028
4029
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4030
4031
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4032
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4033
4034
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4035
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4036
4037
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4038
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4039
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4040
4041
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4042
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4043
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4044
4045
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4046
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4047
4048
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4049
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4050
4051
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4052
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4053
4054
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4055
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4056
4057
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4058
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
4059
4060
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
4061
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
4062
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
4063
4064
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
4065
4066
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
4067
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
4068
4069
INTERNALS:
4070
4071
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
4072
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
4073
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
4074
4075
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
4076
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
4077
4078
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
4079
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
4080
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4081
4082
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
4083
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4084
4085
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
4086
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
4087
(Martin Pool)
4088
4089
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
4090
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
4091
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4092
4093
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
4094
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
4095
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4096
4097
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
4098
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
4099
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
4100
4101
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.

4169
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
4170
-------------------
4171
4172
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4173
4174
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
4175
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
4176
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
4177
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
4178
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
4179
will keep the same format.
4180
4181
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
4182
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
4183
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
4184
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
4185
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
4186
4187
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
4188
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
4189
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
4190
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
4191
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
4192
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
4193
indicating the current revision of the branch.
4194
4195
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
4196
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
4197
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
4198
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
4199
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
4200
4201
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
4202
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
4203
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
4204
arrangement.
4205
4206
4207
IMPROVEMENTS:
4208
4209
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
4210
convention. Paths now take the form::
4211
4212
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
4213
or
4214
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
4215
4216
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
4217
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
4218
4219
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
4220
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
4221
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
4222
4223
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
4224
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
4225
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
4226
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
4227
4228
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
4229
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
4230
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
4231
4232
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
4233
4234
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
4235
4236
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
4237
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
4238
commits::
4239
4240
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
4241
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
4242
| xargs bzr re-sign
4243
4244
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
4245
4246
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
4247
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
4248
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
4249
(Robert Collins)
4250
4251
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
4252
4253
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
4254
4255
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
4256
'.moved'.
4257
4258
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
4259
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
4260
4261
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
4262
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
4263
Daniel Silverstone)
4264
4265
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
4266
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
4267
Martin Pool)
4268
4269
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
4270
4271
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
4272
4273
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
4274
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
4275
4276
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
4277
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
4278
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
4279
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
4280
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
4281
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
4282
4283
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
4284
4285
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
4286
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
4287
(Robert Collins)
4288
4289
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
4290
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
4291
4292
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
4293
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
4294
4295
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
4296
4297
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
4298
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
4299
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
4300
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
4301
specification by Martin Pool.
4302
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
4303
4304
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
4305
Belchenko)
4306
4307
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
4308
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4309
4310
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
4311
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
4312
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
4313
4314
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
4315
4316
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
4317
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
4318
(Robert Collins)
4319
4320
CHANGES:
4321
4322
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
4323
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4324
4325
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
4326
4327
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
4328
4329
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
4330
(Olaf Conradi)
4331
4332
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
4333
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
4334
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
4335
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
4336
4337
INTERNALS:
4338
4339
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
4340
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
4341
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
4342
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4343
4344
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
4345
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
4346
tried. (Martin Pool)
4347
4348
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
4349
(Martin Pool)
4350
4351
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
4352
4353
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
4354
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
4355
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
4356
4357
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
4358
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
4359
4360
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
4361
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
4362
paths. (Robert Collins)
4363
4364
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
4365
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
4366
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
4367
4368
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
4369
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
4370
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
4371
4372
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4373
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4374
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4375
4376
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4377
(Olaf Conradi)
4378
4379
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4380
(Olaf Conradi)
4381
4382
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4383
4384
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4385
4386
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
4387
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
4388
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
4389
(Robert Collins)
4390
4391
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4392
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4393
4394
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
4395
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
4396
check. (Robert Collins)
4397
4398
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4399
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4400
4401
TESTING:
4402
4403
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4404
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4405
4406
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4407
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4408
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4409
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4410
4411
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4412
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4413
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4414
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4415
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4416
4417
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4418
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4419
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4420
4421
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4422
4423
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4424
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
4425

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
4427
------------------
4428
4429
CHANGES:
4430
4431
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4432
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4433
4434
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4435
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4436
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4437
(Johan Rydberg)
4438
4439
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4440
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4441
4442
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4443
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4444
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4445
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4446
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4447
4448
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4449
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4450
used. (Robert Collins)
4451
4452
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4453
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4454
(James Henstridge)
4455
4456
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4457
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4458
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4459
4460
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4461
ignore list.
4462
4463
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4464
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4465
4466
IMPROVEMENTS:
4467
4468
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4469
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4470
4471
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4472
4473
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4474
4475
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4476
tree. (Robert Collins)
4477
4478
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4479
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4480
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4481
(Robert Collins)
4482
4483
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4484
that they be kept.
4485
4486
* Tweaks to short log printing
4487
4488
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4489
(Aaron Bentley)
4490
4491
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4492
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4493
4494
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4495
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4496
4497
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4498
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4499
4500
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
4501
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4502
settings. (Magnus Therning)
4503
4504
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
4505
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4506
4507
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4508
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4509
requests.
4510
4511
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4512
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4513
4514
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
4515
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
4516
4517
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
4518
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
4519
4520
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
4521
(Denys Duchier)
4522
4523
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
4524
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4525
4526
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4527
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4528
4529
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4530
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4531
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
4532
4533
BUG FIXES:
4534
4535
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
4536
4537
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4538
4539
* Error when run with -OO
4540
4541
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
4542
(Martin Pool)
4543
4544
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4545
4546
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4547
4548
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4549
ignored by diff and status
4550
4551
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4552
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
4553
4554
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
4555
4556
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4557
4558
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4559
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4560
4561
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4562
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4563
4564
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4565
(Harald Meland)
4566
4567
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4568
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4569
4570
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4571
4572
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4573
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4574
4575
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4576
(Martin Pool)
4577
4578
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4579
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4580
4581
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)

* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4586
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4587
4588
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4589
4590
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4591
4592
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4593
4594
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4595
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4596
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4597
4598
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4599
4600
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4601
(John Arbash Meinel)
4602
4603
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4604
4605
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4606
If adding a new test script please add that to
4607
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4608
4609
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4610
imported. (Martin Pool)
4611
4612
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4613
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4614
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4615
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4616
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4617
(Robert Collins)
4618
4619
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4620
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4621
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4622
4623
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4624
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4625
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4626
4627
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4628
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4629
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4630
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4631
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4632
(Robert Collins).
4633
4634
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4635
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4636
(Robert Collins).
4637
4638
INTERNALS:
4639
4640
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4641
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4642
4643
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4644
function. (Robert Collins)
4645
4646
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4647
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4648
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4649
4650
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4651
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4652
(Robert Collins)
4653
4654
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4655
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4656
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4657
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4658
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4659
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4660
version. (Robert Collins)
4661
4662
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4663
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4664
4665
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4666
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4667
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4668
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4669
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4670
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4671
4672
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4673
(Robert Collins)
4674
4675
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4676
4677
add()
4678
commit()
4679
move()
4680
rename_one()
4681
unknowns()
4682
4683
(Robert Collins)
4684
4685
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4686
4687
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4688
4689
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4690
Pool)
4691
4692
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4693
query method. (Robert Collins)
4694
4695
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4696
(Denys Duchier)
4697
4698
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4699
(Michael Ellerman)
4700
4701
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4702
(Michael Ellerman)
4703
4704
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4705
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4706
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4707
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4708
4709
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4710
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4711
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4712
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4713
4714
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4715
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
4716

4718
------------------
4719
4720
IMPROVEMENTS:
4721
4722
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4723
(John A Meinel)
4724
4725
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4726
conflicts.
4727
(Aaron Bentley)
4728
4729
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4730
a separator, not ':'.
4731
(Aaron Bentley)
4732
4733
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4734
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4735
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4736
4737
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4738
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4739
(Robert Collins)
4740
4741
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4742
has been added that suppresses all output.
4743
4744
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4745
Adams.
4746
4747
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4748
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4749
4750
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4751
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4752
4753
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4754
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4755
4756
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4757
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4758
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4759
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4760
4761
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4762
4763
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4764
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4765
4766
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4767
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4768
4769
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4770
output directory, if one was supplied.
4771
4772
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4773
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4774
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4775
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4776
4777
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4778
4779
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4780
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4781
4782
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4783
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4784
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4785
4786
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4787
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4788
4789
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4790
(Aaron Bentley)
4791
4792
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4793
4794
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4795
4796
TESTING:
4797
4798
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4799
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4800
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4801
4802
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4803
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4804
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4805
4806
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
4807
is given. (Martin Pool)
4808
4809
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
4810
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
4811
file. (Robert Collins)
4812
4813
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
4814
(Martin Pool)
4815
4816
INTERNALS:
4817
4818
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
4819
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
4820
representation. (Martin Pool).
4821
4822
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
4823
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
4824
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
4825
4826
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4827
(Robert Collins)
4828
4829
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
4830
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
4831
Magnus Therning.
4832
4833
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4834
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
4835
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
4836
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
4837
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4838
4839
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
4840
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
4841
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
4842
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
4843
python path. (Robert Collins)
4844
4845
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
4846
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
4847
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
4848
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
4849
4850
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
4851
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
4852
4853
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
4854
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
4855
(Robert Collins)
4856
4857
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
4858
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
4859
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
4860
4861
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
4862
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
4863
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
4864
4865
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4866
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4867
4868
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
4869
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
4870
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
4871
(Robert Collins)
4872
4873
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
4874
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
4875
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
4876
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
4877
(Robert Collins)
4878
4879
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
4880
(Robert Collins)
4881
4882
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
4883
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
4884
(Robert Collins)
4885
4886
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
4887
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
4888
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
4889
4890
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
4891
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
4892
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
4893
4894
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
4895
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
4896
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
4897
4898
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4899
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4900
4901
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
4902
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
4903
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
4904
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
4905
caller. (Robert Collins)
4906
4907
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
4908
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
4909
(Robert Collins).
4910
4911
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
4912
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
4913
(Aaron Bentley)
4914
4915
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
4916
4917
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
4918
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
4919
4920
BUG FIXES:
4921
4922
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
4923
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
4924
4925
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
4926
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
4927

4929
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
4930
--------------------
4931
4932
BUG FIXES:
4933
4934
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
4935
allow directories to be listed.
4936
4937
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
4938
upgrading branch format.
4939
4940
PERFORMANCE:
4941
4942
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
4946
------------------
4947
4948
NOTES:
4949
4950
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
4951
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
4952
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
4953
high-latency connections.
4954
4955
BUG FIXES:
4956
4957
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
4958
Rob Weir.
4959
4960
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
4961
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
4962
4963
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
4964
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
4965
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
4966
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4967
4968
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
4969
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
4970
4971
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
4972
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
4973
4974
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
4975
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
4976
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4977
4978
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
4979
for files with only a change to their executable status.
4980
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
4981
Robert Collins
4982
4983
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
4984
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
4985
4986
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
4987
different partial views of history.
4988
4989
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
4990
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
4991
4992
IMPROVEMENTS:
4993
4994
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
4995
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
4996
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4997
4998
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
4999
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5000
'bzr upgrade'.
5001
5002
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5003
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5004
5005
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5006
Niemeyer.
5007
5008
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5009
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5010
5011
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5012
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5013
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5014
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5015
5016
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5017
5018
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5019
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5020
Gustavo Niemeyer.
5021
5022
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5023
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5024
5025
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5026
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5027
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5028
5029
5030
INTERNALS:
5031
5032
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5033
for your viewing pleasure.
5034
5035
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5036
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5037
5038
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5039
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5040
handling of such circumstances.
5041
5042
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
5043
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
5044
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
5045
5046
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5047
5048
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5049
we call them revisions not patches.
5050
5051
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5052
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5053
5054
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
5055
giving the revision *of that file*.
5056
5057
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
5058
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
5059
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
5060
5061
TESTING:
5062
5063
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
5064
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
5065
5066
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
5067
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
5068

bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
5071
--------------------
5072
5073
BUG FIXES:
5074
5075
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
5076
5077
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
5078
(Robert Collins).
5079
5080
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
5081
5082
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
5083
5084
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
5085
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5086
5087
IMPROVEMENTS:
5088
5089
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
5090
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
5091
5092
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
5093
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
5094
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
5095
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
5096
Robey Pointer
5097
5098
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
5099
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5100
5101
INTERNALS:
5102
5103
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
5104
5105
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
5106
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
5107
5108
5109
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
5110
--------------------
5111
5112
IMPROVEMENTS:
5113
5114
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
5115
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
5116
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
5117
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
5118
Michael Ellerman.
5119
5120
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
5121
(Nir Soffer)
5122
5123
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
5124
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
5125
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
5126
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
5127
for the operating system is still tried.
5128
5129
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
5130
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
5131
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
5132
5133
5134
INTERNALS:
5135
5136
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
5137
5138
BUG FIXES:
5139
5140
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
5141
5142
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
5143
branch.
5144
5145
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
5146
read.
5147
5148
5149
PORTABILITY:
5150
5151
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
5152
5153
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
5154
5155
5156
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
5157
--------------------
5158
5159
NEW FEATURES:
5160
5161
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
5162
help with intelligent shell completion.
5163
5164
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
5165
5166
5167
ENHANCEMENTS:
5168
5169
* Much better merge support.
5170
5171
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
5172
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
5173
like emacs smerge.
5174
5175
5176
BUG FIXES:
5177
5178
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
5179
mention revisions that are not present.
5180
5181
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
5182
5183
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
5184
5185
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
5186
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
5187
5188
5189
CHANGES:
5190
5191
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
5192
5193
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
5194
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
5195
--help themselves.
5196
5197
5198
LIBRARY:
5199
5200
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
5201
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
5202
libraries.
5203
5204
5205
5206
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
5207
--------------------
5208
5209
NEW FEATURES:
5210
5211
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
5212
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
5213
5214
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
5215
5216
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
5217
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
5218
5219
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
5220
FOO.
5221
5222
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
5223
5224
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
5225
the Unix command.
5226
5227
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
5228
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
5229
5230
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
5231
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
5232
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
5233
5234
5235
ENHANCEMENTS:
5236
5237
* Faster working tree operations.
5238
5239
5240
CHANGES:
5241
5242
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
5243
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
5244
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
5245
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
5246
5247
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
5248
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
5249
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
5250
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
5251
standard plugins directory.
5252
5253
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
5254
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
5255
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
5256
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
5257
5258
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
5259
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
5260
5261
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
5262
disk.
5263
5264
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
5265
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
5266
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
5267
5268
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
5269
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
5270
5271
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
5272
line options must come before the command name because they
5273
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
5274
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
5275
it.
5276
5277
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
5278
5279
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
5280
is available with ``--short``.
5281
5282
5283
BUG FIXES:
5284
5285
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
5286
5287
5288
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
5289
---------------------
5290
5291
CHANGES:
5292
5293
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
5294
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5295
5296
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
5297
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
5298
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
5299
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
5300
5301
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
5302
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
5303
with the ``--forward`` option.
5304
5305
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
5306
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
5307
field.
5308
5309
5310
ENHANCEMENTS:
5311
5312
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
5313
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
5314
5315
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
5316
5317
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
5318
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
5319
5320
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
5321
5322
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
5323
either read or write mode.
5324
5325
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
5326
5327
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
5328
affected that file.
5329
5330
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
5331
5332
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
5333
suggested by LarstiQ.
5334
5335
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
5336
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
5337
5338
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
5339
a filename.
5340
5341
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
5342
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
5343
5344
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
5345
haven't changed since the previous time.
5346
5347
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
5348
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
5349
5350
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
5351
5352
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
5353
5354
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
5355
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
5356
5357
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
5358
options through to an external GNU diff.
5359
5360
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
5361
their contents.
5362
5363
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
5364
from a branch.
5365
5366
5367
BUG FIXES:
5368
5369
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
5370
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
5371
5372
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
5373
metacharacters.
5374
5375
5376
TESTING:
5377
5378
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
5379
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
5380
the tests.
5381
5382
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
5383
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
5384
5385
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
5386
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
5387
5388
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
5389
under a different version.
5390
5391
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
5392
5393
5394
INTERNAL:
5395
5396
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
5397
5398
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
5399
Scott James Remnant.
5400
5401
* Better help messages for many commands.
5402
5403
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
5404
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
5405
5406
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
5407
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
5408
5409
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
5410
5411
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
5412
5413
* New AtomicFile class.
5414
5415
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
5416
5417
5418
PORTABILITY:
5419
5420
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
5421
2.4 is now only recommended.
5422
5423
5424
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
5425
---------------------
5426
5427
ENHANCEMENTS:
5428
5429
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
5430
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
5431
5432
* More default ignore patterns.
5433
5434
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
5435
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
5436
5437
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
5438
5439
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
5440
by Jason Diamon.
5441
5442
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
5443
5444
5445
CHANGES:
5446
5447
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
5448
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
5449
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
5450
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
5451
there are DNS problems.
5452
5453
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
5454
5455
5456
BUG FIXES:
5457
5458
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
5459
5460
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
5461
5462
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
5463
trailing newlines properly.
5464
5465
5466
INTERNAL:
5467
5468
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
5469
Matt Brubeck.
5470
5471
* More tests in test.sh.
5472
5473
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
5474
directory and delete it when done.
5475
5476
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
5477
5478
5479
PORTABILITY:
5480
5481
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
5482
Bennetts.
5483
5484
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
5485
from QuantumG.

5488
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
5489
---------------------
5490
5491
ENHANCEMENTS:
5492
5493
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
5494
in the tree.
5495
5496
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
5497
5498
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
5499
and/or directory.
5500
5501
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
5502
directory.
5503
5504
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
5505
5506
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
5507
5508
CHANGES:
5509
5510
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
5511
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
5512
will do for now.)
5513
5514
PORTABILITY:
5515
5516
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
5517
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
5518
Nielsen.
5519
5520
INTERNAL:
5521
5522
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
5523
5524
TESTING:
5525
5526
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.

bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
5538
-----------------------------------
5539
5540
ENHANCEMENTS:
5541
5542
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
5543
5544
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
5545
rather than replacing it.
5546
5547
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
5548
5549
* More help topics.
5550
5551
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
5552
branch.
5553
5554
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
5555
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
5556
5557
* Performance improvements.
5558
5559
* New global --profile option.
5560
5561
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
5562
the root directory only.
5563
5564
5565
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
5566

5567
5568
ENHANCEMENTS:
5569
5570
* More information from info command.
5571
5572

5573
5574
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
5575
committing to stores.
5576
5577
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
5578
5579
BUG FIXES:
5580

5582
5583
PORTABILITY:
5584
5585
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
5586
installation easier.
5587
5588
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
5589
supported).
