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
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
26
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
27
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
28
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
29
30
FEATURES:
31
32
* Added mail-mode GNU Emacs mail package as a mail_client.
33
(Xavier Maillard, Bojan Nikolic)
34
35
IMPROVEMENTS:
36
37
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
38
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
39
40
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
41
(Chad Miller)
42
43
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
44
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
45
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
46
47
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
48
(Aaron Bentley)
49
50
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
51
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
52
53
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
54
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
55
56
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
57
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
58
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
59
60
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
61
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
62
transport will now automatically use a smart server if one is present.
63
(Andrew Bennetts)
64
65
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
66
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
67
68
BUGFIXES:
69
70
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
71
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
72
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
73
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
74
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
75
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
76
77
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
78
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
79
80
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
81
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
82
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
83
84
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
85
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
86
87
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
88
89
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
90
91
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
92
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
93
94
DOCUMENTATION:
95
96
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
97
98
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
99
100
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
101
102
API BREAKS:
103
104
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
105
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
106
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
107
108
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
109
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
110
release. (James Westby)
111
112
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
113
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
114
115
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
116
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
117
118
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
119
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
120
121
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
122
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
123
124
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
125
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
126
(Robert Collins)
127
128
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
129
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
130
131
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
132
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
133
134
TESTING:
135
136
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
137
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
138
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
139
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
140
141
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
142
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
143
(Vincent Ladeuil)
144
145
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
146
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
147
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
148
149
INTERNALS:
150
151
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
152
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)
153
154
155
bzr 1.3 2008-03-20
156
------------------
157
158
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
159
160
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
161
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
162
features have been added.
163
164
TESTING:
165
166
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
167
directory names.
168
(#202778, Martin Pool)
169
170
171
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-03-16
172
---------------------
173
174
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
175
176
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
177
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
178
179
CHANGES:
180
181
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
182
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
183
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
184
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
185
(Robert Collins)
186
187
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
188
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
189
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
190
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
191
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
192
(Alexander Belchenko)
193
194
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
195
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
196
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
197
(Alexander Belchenko)
198
199
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
200
201
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
202
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
203
204
FEATURES:
205
206
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
207
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
208
209
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
210
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
211
(Jelmer Vernooij)
212
213
IMPROVEMENTS:
214
215
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
216
217
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
218
219
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
220
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
221
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
222
223
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
224
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
225
226
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
227
to. (Daniel Watkins)
228
229
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
230
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
231
(Alexander Belchenko)
232
233
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
234
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
235
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
236
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
237
238
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
239
(Daniel Watkins)
240
241
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
242
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
243
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
244
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
245
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
246
247
BUGFIXES:
248
249
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
250
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
251
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
252
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
253
254
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
255
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
256
257
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
258
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
259
260
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
261
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
262
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
263
264
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
265
(#198793, John Ferlito)
266
267
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
268
#196618)
269
270
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
271
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
272
273
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
274
275
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
276
277
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
278
symlinks (James Henstridge)
279
280
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
281
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
282
283
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
284
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
285
286
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
287
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
288
289
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
290
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
291
292
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
293
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
294
295
DOCUMENTATION:
296
297
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
298
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
299
300
API BREAKS:
301
302
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
303
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
304
(Alexander Belchenko)
305
306
TESTING:
307
308
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
309
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
310
(Robert Collins)
311
312
INTERNALS:
313
314
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
315
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
316
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
317
318
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
319
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
320
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
321
(Alexander Belchenko)
322
323
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
324
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
325
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
326
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
327
328
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
329
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
330
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
331
(Robert Collins)
332
333
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
334
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
335
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
336
337
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
338
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
339
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
340
341
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
342
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
343
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
344
format. (Robert Collins)
345
346
347
bzr 1.2 2008-02-15
348
------------------
349
350
BUG FIXES:
351
352
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
353
354
355
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
356
---------------------
357
358
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
359
360
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
361
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
362
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
363
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
364
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
365
(Andrew Bennetts)
366
367
CHANGES:
368
369
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
370
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
371
372
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
373
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
374
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
375
376
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
377
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
378
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
379
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
380
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
381
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
382
(Aaron Bentley)
383
384
FEATURES:
385
386
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
387
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
388
389
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
390
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
391
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
392
(Robert Collins)
393
394
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
395
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
396
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
397
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
398
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
399
400
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
401
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
402
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
403
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
404
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
405
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
406
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
407
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
408
409
IMPROVEMENTS:
410
411
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
412
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
413
414
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
415
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
416
417
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
418
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
419
420
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
421
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
422
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
423
424
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
425
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
426
(John Arbash Meinel)
427
428
BUGFIXES:
429
430
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
431
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
432
433
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
434
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
435
436
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
437
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
438
439
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
440
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
441
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
442
443
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
444
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
445
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
446
447
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
448
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
449
450
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
451
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
452
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
453
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
454
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
455
unittest runner.
456
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
457
458
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
459
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
460
#185907)
461
462
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
463
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
464
465
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
466
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
467
468
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
469
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
470
471
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
472
more characters which should be considered valid.
473
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
474
475
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
476
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
477
478
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
479
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
480
481
API BREAKS:
482
483
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
484
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
485
486
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
487
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
488
(Martin Pool)
489
490
TESTING:
491
492
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
493
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
494
(Vincent Ladeuil)
495
496
INTERNALS:
497
498
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
499
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
500
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
501
502
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
503
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
504
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
505
506
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
507
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
508
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
509
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
510
511
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
512
513
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
514
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
515
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
516
server. (Robert Collins)
517
518
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
519
operate. (Robert Collins)
520
521
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
522
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
523
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
524
525
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
526
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
527
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
528
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
529
530
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
531
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
532
533
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
534
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
535
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
536
537
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
538
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
539
540
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
541
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
542
543
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
544
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
545
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
546
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

552
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
553
554
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
555
---------------------
556
557
CHANGES:
558
559
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
560
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
561
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
562
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
563
564
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
565
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
566
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
567
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
568
569
FEATURES:
570
571
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
572
(Lukáš Lalinský)
573
574
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
575
(Aaron Bentley)
576
577
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
578
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
579
580
IMPROVEMENTS:
581
582
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
583
#90049)
584
585
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
586
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
587
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
588
589
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
590
591
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
592
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
593
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
594
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
595
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
596
597
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
598
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
599
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
600
601
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
602
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
603
604
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
605
(Vincent Ladeuil)
606
607
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
608
609
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
610
611
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
612
(Aaron Bentley)
613
614
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
615
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
616
617
BUGFIXES:
618
619
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
620
(Martin Pool, #180208)
621
622
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
623
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
624
625
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
626
(Aaron Bentley)
627
628
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
629
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
630
631
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
632
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
633
634
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
635
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
636
637
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
638
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
639
640
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
641
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
642
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
643
644
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
645
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
646
647
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
648
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
649
(Aaron Bentley)
650
651
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
652
653
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
654
user:pass embedded in the urls.
655
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
656
657
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
658
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
659
660
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
661
(Aaron Bentley)
662
663
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
664
#148087)
665
666
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
667
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
668
669
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
670
#137681)
671
672
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
673
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
674
(Aaron Bentley)
675
676
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
677
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
678
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
679
680
DOCUMENTATION:
681
682
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
683
(Ian Clatworthy)
684
685
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
686
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
687
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
688
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
689
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
690
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
691
692
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
693
694
INTERNALS:
695
696
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
697
(Aaron Bentley)
698
699
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
700
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
701
702
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
703
704
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
705
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
706
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
707
Robert Collins)
708
709
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
710
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
711
712
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
713
(Vincent Ladeuil)
714
715
API BREAKS:
716
717
TESTING:
718
719
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
720
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
721
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
722
723
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
724
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
725
(Robert Collins)
726
727
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
728
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
729
730
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
731
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
732
733
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
734
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
735
736
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
737
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
738
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
739
740
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
741
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
742
743
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
744
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
745
746
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
747
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
748
(Vincent Ladeuil)
749
750
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
751
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
752
753
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
754
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

777
CHANGES:
778
779
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
780
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
781
by mail to the mailing list.
782
(Martin Pool)
783
784
BUGFIXES:
785
786
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
787
788
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
789
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
790
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
791
feedback but also incur more latency.
792
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
793
794
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
795
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
796
797
DOCUMENTATION:
798

(Ian Clatworthy)
803
804
INTERNALS:
805
806
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
807
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
808
wraps its output in a StringIO.

IMPROVEMENTS:
816
817
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
818
819
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
820
(Aaron Bentley)
821
822
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
823
Nordhoff, #172612)
824
825
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
826
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
827
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
828
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
829
830
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
831
(Kent Gibson)
832
833
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
834
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
835
836
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
837
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
838
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
839
840
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
841
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
842
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
843
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
844
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
845
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
846
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
847
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
848
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
849
850
INTERNALS:
851
852
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.

856
857
BUGFIXES:

859
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
860
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
861
862
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
863
filename to user.
864
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
865
866
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
867
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
868
required.
869
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
870
871
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
872
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
873
874
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
875
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
876
877

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

* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
962
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
963
964
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
965
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
966
967
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
968
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
969
(Aaron Bentley)
970
971
IMPROVEMENTS:
972
973
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
974
(Aaron Bentley)
975
976
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
977
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
978
(Lukáš Lalinský)
979
980
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
981
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
982
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
983
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
984
985
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
986
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
987
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
988
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

995
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
996
997
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
998
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
999
1000
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
1001

(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
1008
1009
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.

(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
1011
1012
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
1013
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
1014
1015
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
1016
(Aaron Bentley)
1017
1018
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
1019
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
1020
1021
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
1022
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
1023
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
1024
1025
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
1026
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
1027
1028
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
1029
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
1030
1031
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
1032
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
1033
1034
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
1035
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
1036
1037
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
1038
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
1039
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
1040
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
1041
on them.
1042
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1043
1044
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
1045
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1046
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
1047
1048
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
1049
(Robert Collins, #161240)
1050
1051
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
1052
to be reconciled.
1053
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1054
1055
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1056
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1057
1058
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1059
specify a port in urls.
1060
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1061
1062
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
1063
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
1064
1065
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
1066
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)

1071
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
1072
(Robert Collins, #153789)
1073
1074
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
1075
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
1076
(Robert Collins, #165304).
1077
1078
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
1079
1080
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
1081
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
1082

* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
1090
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
1091
1092
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
1093
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
1094
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
1095
1096
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
1097
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
1098
1099
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
1100
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
1101
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
1102
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
1103
1104
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
1105
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
1106
1107
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
1108
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
1109
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
1110
1111
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
1112
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
1113
1114
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
1115
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
1116
1117
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
1118
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
1119
1120
API BREAKS:
1121
1122
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
1123
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
1124
1125
* The return value of
1126
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
1127
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
1128
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
1129
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
1130
1131
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
1132
(Robert Collins)
1133
1134
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
1135
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
1136
format.
1137
(Martin Pool)
1138
1139
INTERNALS:
1140
1141
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
1142
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
1143
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
1144
Bennetts)
1145
1146
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
1147
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
1148
1149
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1166
1167
CHANGES:
1168
1169
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
1170
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
1171
1172
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
1173
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
1174
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
1175
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
1176
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
1177
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
1178
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
1179
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
1180
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
1181
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
1182
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
1183
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
1184
(Robert Collins)
1185
1186
FEATURES:
1187
1188
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
1189
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
1190
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
1191
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
1192
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
1193
for further details. (Robert Collins)
1194
1195
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
1196
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
1197
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
1198
(Robert Collins)
1199
1200
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
1201
1202
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
1203
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
1204
1205
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
1206
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
1207
(Aaron Bentley)
1208
1209
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
1210
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
1211
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
1212
1213
PERFORMANCE:
1214
1215
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
1216
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1217
1218
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
1219
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
1220
1221
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
1222
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
1223
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
1224
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
1225
1226
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
1227
(Robert Collins)
1228
1229
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
1230
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
1231
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
1232
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
1233
1234
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
1235
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
1236
1237
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
1238
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1239
1240
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
1241
the contents. (Robert Collins)
1242
1243
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
1244
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
1245
1246
IMPROVEMENTS:
1247
1248
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
1249
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
1250
1251
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
1252
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
1253
1254
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
1255
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
1256
1257
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
1258
(Martin Pool, #63894)
1259
1260
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
1261
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
1262
1263
DOCUMENTATION:
1264
1265
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
1266
1267
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
1268
(Ian Clatworthy)
1269
1270
BUG FIXES:
1271
1272
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
1273
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
1274
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
1275
1276
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
1277
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
1278
1279
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
1280
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
1281
1282
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
1283
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
1284
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
1285
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
1286
1287
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
1288
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
1289
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
1290
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
1291
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
1292
1293
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
1294
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
1295
paramiko.
1296
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
1297
1298
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1299
1300
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
1301
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
1302
1303
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
1304
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
1305
1306
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
1307
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
1308
1309
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
1310
contains a symbolic link.
1311
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
1312
1313
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
1314
(James Westby, #140615)
1315
1316
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
1317
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
1318
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
1319
1320
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
1321
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
1322
(Martin Pool, #144633)
1323
1324
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1325
1326
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
1327
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
1328
1329
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
1330
will remain opened.
1331
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
1332
1333
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
1334
directory to detect leaking tests.
1335
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
1336
1337
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
1338
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
1339
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
1340
1341
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
1342
(Rob Weir, #141629)
1343
1344
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
1345
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
1346
1347
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
1348
Merwe)
1349
1350
API BREAKS:
1351
1352
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
1353
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
1354
1355
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
1356
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
1357
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
1358
1359
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
1360
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
1361
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
1362
1363
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
1364
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
1365
1366
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
1367
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
1368
1369
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
1370
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
1371
(Martin Pool)
1372
1373
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
1374
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
1375
1376
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
1377
class that needs it.
1378
(Martin Pool)
1379
1380
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
1381
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
1382
1383
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
1384
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
1385
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
1386
1387
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
1388
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
1389
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
1390
(Robert Collins)
1391
1392
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
1393
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
1394
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
1395
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
1396
(Robert Collins)
1397
1398
INTERNALS:
1399
1400
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1401
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1402
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1403
1404
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1405
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1406
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1407
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1408
1409
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1410
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1411
(Robert Collins)
1412
1413
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1414
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1415
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1416
1417
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1418
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1419
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1420
1421
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1422
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1423
1424
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1425
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1426
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1427
1428
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1429
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1430
1431
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1432
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1433
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1434
1435
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1436
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1437
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1438
1439
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1440
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1441
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1442
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1443
1444
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1445
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1446
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1447
returned. (Robert Collins)
1448
1449
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1450
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1451
1452
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1453
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1454
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1455
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1456
(Robert Collins)
1457
1458
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1459
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1460
1461
TESTING:
1462
1463
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1464
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1465
1466
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1467
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1468
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1469
makes this behavior available to other users.
1470
(Martin Pool)
1471
1472
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1473
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

1479
BUG FIXES:
1480
1481
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1482
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1483
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1484
1485
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1486
1487
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1488
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1489
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1490
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1491
1492
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1493
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
1494
(Andrew Bennetts)

1496
1497
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1498
----------------------
1499
1500
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
1501
in bzrlib/remote.py.

1503
1504
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
1505
----------------------
1506
1507
CHANGES:
1508
1509
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1510
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1511
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1512
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1513
(Martin Pool)
1514
1515
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1516
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1517
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1518
(Ian Clatworthy)
1519
1520
FEATURES:
1521
1522
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1523
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1524
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1525
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1526
1527
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1528
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1529
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1530
1531
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1532
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1533
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1534
1535
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1536
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1537
1538
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1539
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1540
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1541
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1542
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1543
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1544
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1545
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1546
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1547
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1548
1549
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1550
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1551
1552
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1553
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1554
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1555
1556
BUG FIXES:
1557
1558
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1559
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1560
1561
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1562
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1563
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1564
1565
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1566
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1567
1568
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1569
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1570
1571
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1572
(Aaron Bentley)
1573
1574
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1575
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1576
1577
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1578
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1579
1580
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1581
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1582
1583
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1584
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1585
1586
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1587
1588
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1589
Watkins, #106726)
1590
1591
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1592
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1593
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1594
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1595
1596
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1597
1598
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1599
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1600
#133548)
1601
1602
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1603
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1604
1605
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1606
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1607
#116143)
1608
1609
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1610
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1611
1612
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1613
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1614
1615
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1616
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1617
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1618
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1619
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1620
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1621
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1622
1623
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1624
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1625
1626
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1627
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1628
1629
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1630
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1631
1632
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1633
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1634
1635
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1636
connections.
1637
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1638
1639
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1640
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1641
1642
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1643
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1644
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1645
1646
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1647
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1648
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1649
1650
IMPROVEMENTS:
1651
1652
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1653
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1654
1655
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1656
(Aaron Bentley)
1657
1658
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1659
(Aaron Bentley)
1660
1661
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1662
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1663
1664
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1665
1666
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1667
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1668
1669
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1670
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1671
1672
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1673
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1674
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1675
space). (Robert Collins)
1676
1677
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1678
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1679
(Ian Clatworthy)
1680
1681
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1682
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1683
1684
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1685
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1686
1687
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1688
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1689
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1690
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1691
1692
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1693
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1694
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1695
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1696
1697
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1698
(Ian Clatworthy)
1699
1700
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1701
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1702
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1703
1704
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1705
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1706
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1707
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1708
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1709
1710
API BREAKS:
1711
1712
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1713
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1714
1715
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1716
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1717
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1718
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1719
affected. (Robert Collins)
1720
1721
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1722
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1723
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1724
(Robert Collins)
1725
1726
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1727
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1728
1729
TESTING:
1730
1731
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1732
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1733
1734
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1735
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1736
1737
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1738
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1739
1740
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1741
(Aaron Bentley)
1742
1743
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1744
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1745
1746
INTERNALS:
1747
1748
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1749
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1750
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1751
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1752
1753
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1754
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1755
1756
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1757
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1758
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1759
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1760
1761
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1762
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1763
present. (Robert Collins)
1764
1765
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1766
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1767
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1768
API. (Robert Collins)
1769
1770
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1771
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1772
(Robert Collins)
1773
1774
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1775
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1776
1777
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1778
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1779
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1780
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1781
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1782
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1783
1784
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1785
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1786
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1787
1788
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1789
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1790
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1791
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1792
protocol.
1793
1794
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1795
(Aaron Bentley)
1796
1797
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1798
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1799
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1800
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1801
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1802
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1803
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1804
1805
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1806
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1807
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1808
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1809
1810
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1811
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1812
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1813
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1814
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1815
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1816
1817
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1818
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1819
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1820
1821
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1822
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1823
1824

bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
1826
-------------------
1827
1828
IMPROVEMENTS:
1829
1830
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1831
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1832
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1833
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1834
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1835
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1836
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
1837
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
1838
1839
1840
API CHANGES:
1841
1842
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1843
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1844
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
1845

1847
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
1848
----------------------
1849
1850
BUGFIXES:
1851
1852
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1853
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1854
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1855
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1856
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1857
1858
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1859
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1860
1861
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1862
anymore.
1863
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
1864
1865
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
1866
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
1867
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1868
1869
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
1870
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
1871
#111664)
1872
1873
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
1874
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1875
1876
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
1877
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
1878
1879
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
1880
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
1881
1882
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
1883
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
1884
1885
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
1886
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
1887
1888
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
1889
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
1890
1891
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
1892
(Aaron Bentley)
1893
1894
IMPROVEMENTS:
1895
1896
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
1897
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
1898
1899
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
1900
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
1901
1902
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
1903
the repository (Robert Collins)
1904
1905
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
1906
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
1907
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
1908
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
1909
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
1910
1911
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
1912
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1913
1914
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
1915
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
1916
(John Arbash Meinel)
1917
1918
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
1919
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
1920
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
1921
about 10%).
1922
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
1923
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
1924
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
1925
(John Arbash Meinel)
1926
1927
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
1928
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
1929
(Robert Collins)
1930
1931
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
1932
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
1933
1934
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
1935
(Ian Clatworthy)
1936
1937
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
1938
1939
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1940
1941
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
1942
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
1943
1944
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
1945
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
1946
Meinel)
1947
1948
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
1949
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
1950
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
1951
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1952
1953
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
1954
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
1955
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
1956
1957
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
1958
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
1959
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
1960
1961
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
1962
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
1963
1964
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
1965
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
1966
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
1967
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
1968
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
1969
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
1970
(Ian Clatworthy)
1971
1972
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
1973
(Alexander Belchenko)
1974
1975
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
1976
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
1977
1978
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
1979
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
1980
1981
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1982
1983
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
1984
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
1985
1986
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1987
1988
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
1989
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
1990
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
1991
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
1992
1993
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
1994
1995
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
1996
(Robert Collins)
1997
1998
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
1999
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2000
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2001
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2002
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2003
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2004
2005
INTERNALS:
2006
2007
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2008
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2009
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2010
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2011
2012
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2013
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2014
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2015
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2016
tests have been refactored too.
2017
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2018
2019
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2020
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2021
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2022
list, it will.
2023
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2024
2025
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2026
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2027
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2028
2029
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2030
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2031
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2032
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2033
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2034
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2035
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2036
2037
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2038
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2039
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2040
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2041
(John Arbash Meinel)
2042
2043
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2044
functionality for testing.
2045
2046
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2047
2048
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2049
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2050
2051
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2052
2053
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2054
(Robert Collins)
2055
2056
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2057
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2058
2059
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2060
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2061
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2062
2063
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2064
(Aaron Bentley)
2065
2066
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2067
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2068
2069
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2070
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2071
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2072
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2073
2074
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2075
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2076
2077
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2078
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2079
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2080
2081
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2082
(Marius Kruger)
2083
2084
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2085
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2086
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2087
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2088
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
2089
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2090
2091
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
2092
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
2093
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
2094
many files. (Robert Collins)
2095
2096
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
2097
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
2098
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
2099
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
2100
2101
TESTING:
2102
2103
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
2104
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
2105
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
2106
2107
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
2108
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
2109
2110
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
2111
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
2112
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

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

* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
2338
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
2339
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
2340
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2341
2342
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
2343
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
2344
testing. (Robert Collins)
2345
2346
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
2347
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
2348
2349
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
2350
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
2351
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
2352
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
2353
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
2354
attribute during the test parameterisation in
2355
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
2356
2357
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
2358
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
2359
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
2360
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
2361
2362
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
2363
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
2364
2365
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
2366
avoid useless cloning.

2385
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2386
2387
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
2388
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
2389
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
2390
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
2391
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
2392
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
2393
and unlock() like so::
2394
2395
work_tree.lock_read()
2396
try:
2397
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
2398
finally:
2399
work_tree.unlock()
2400
2401
INTERNALS:
2402
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
2403
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
2404
object.
2405
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
2406
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
2407
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
2408
2409
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2410
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2411
too. (Robert Collins)
2412
2413
IMPROVEMENTS:
2414
2415
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
2416
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
2417
Aaron Bentley)
2418
2419
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
2420
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
2421
2422
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
2423
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
2424
2425
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
2426
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
2427
understanding what changes have occurred
2428
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
2429
2430
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
2431
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
2432
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2433
2434
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
2435
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
2436
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
2437
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2438
2439
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2440
#56322)
2441
2442
BUGFIXES:
2443
2444
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
2445
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
2446
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
2447
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
2448
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
2449
2450
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2451
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2452
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2453
2454
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
2455
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
2456
2457
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
2458
into account.
2459
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2460
2461
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2462
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2463
2464
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2465
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2466
2467
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2468
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2469
2470
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2471
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2472
2473
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2474
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2475
2476
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2477
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2478
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

--------------------
2482
2483
BUGFIXES:
2484
2485
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2486
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2487
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2488
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2489
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2490
2491
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2492
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2493
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2494
2495
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2496
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2497
2498
IMPROVEMENTS:
2499
2500
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2501
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2502
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2503
2504
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2505
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2506
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2507
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

-----------------------
2511
2512
BUGFIXES:
2513
2514
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2515
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2516
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2517
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2518
2519
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2520
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2521
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
2522
2523
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2524
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
2525
2526
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
2527
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
2528
2529
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
2530
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

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

* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2780
2781
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2782
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2783
2784
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2785
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2786
2787
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2788
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2789
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2790
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2791
security hole.
2792
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2793
2794
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2795
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2796
2797
TESTING:
2798
2799
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2800
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2801
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2802
2803
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2804
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2805
2806
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2807
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2808
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2809
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2810
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2811
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2812
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2813
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2814
2815
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2816
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2817
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2818
2819
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2820
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2821
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2822
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2823
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2824
access.
2825
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2826
2827
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2828
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2829
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2830
2831
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2832
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

(Aaron Bentley)
2842

2850
CHANGES:
2851
2852
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2853
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2854
(Martin Pool)
2855
2856
IMPROVEMENTS:
2857
2858
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2859
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2860
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2861
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2862
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
2863
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
2864
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
2865
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
2866
path. (vila)
2867
2868
INTERNALS:
2869
2870
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
2871
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
2872
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
2873
2874
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
2875
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
2876
(Martin Pool)
2877
2878
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
2879
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
2880
(John Arbash Meinel)
2881
2882
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
2883
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
2884
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
2885
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
2886
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
2887
2888
BUGFIXES:
2889
2890
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
2891
(vila, #92195)
2892
2893
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
2894
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
2895
2896
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
2897
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
2898
2899
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
2900
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
2901
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
2902
2903
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
2904
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
2905
2906
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
2907
last-changed-revision for directories. The
2908
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
2909
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
2910
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
2911
2912
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
2913
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
2914
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
2915
2916
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
2920
-----------------------
2921
2922
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2923
2924
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
2925
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
2926
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
2927
2928
IMPROVEMENTS:
2929
2930
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
2931
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
2932
2933
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
2934
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
2935
2936
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2937
2938
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
2939
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
2940
2941
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
2942
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
2943
2944
INTERNALS:
2945
2946
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
2947
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
2948
2949
BUGFIXES:
2950
2951
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
2952
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
2953
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
2954
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2955
2956
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
2957
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
2958
2959
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
2960
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
2961
2962
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
2963
(Marien Zwart)
2964
2965
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
2966
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)

2969
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
2970
-----------------------
2971
2972
SURPRISES:
2973
2974
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
2975
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
2976
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
2977
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
2978
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
2979
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
2980
2981
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
2982
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
2983
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
2984
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
2985
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
2986
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
2987
development.
2988
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2989
2990
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
2991
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
2992
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
2993
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
2994
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
2995
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
2996
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
2997
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2998
2999
IMPROVEMENTS:
3000
3001
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3002
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3003
3004
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
3005
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
3006
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
3007
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
3008
does exist.
3009
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
3010
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
3011
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
3012
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
3013
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
3014
3015
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
3016
(Aaron Bentley)
3017
3018
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3019
(Aaron Bentley)
3020
3021
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3022
(Robert Collins)
3023
3024
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3025
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3026
(Aaron Bentley)
3027
3028
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3029
(Aaron Bentley)
3030
3031
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3032
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3033
3034
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3035
directory. (Martin Pool)
3036
3037
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3038
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3039
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3040
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3041
3042
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3043
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3044
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3045
in docs/configuration.txt.
3046
3047
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3048
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
3049
bind location.
3050
3051
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
3052
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
3053
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
3054
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
3055
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
3056
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3057
3058
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3059
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3060
3061
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3062
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3063
3064
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
3065
(Aaron Bentley)
3066
3067
INTERNALS:
3068
3069
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
3070
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
3071
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
3072
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
3073
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
3074
(John Arbash Meinel)
3075
3076
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
3077
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
3078
(Aaron Bentley)
3079
3080
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
3081
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
3082
(John Arbash Meinel)
3083
3084
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
3085
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
3086
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
3087
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
3088
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
3089
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
3090
3091
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
3092
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
3093
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
3094
3095
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
3096
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
3097
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
3098
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
3099
repository.
3100
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3101
3102
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
3103
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
3104
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
3105
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
3106
3107
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
3108
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
3109
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
3110
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
3111
3112
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
3113
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
3114
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
3115
3116
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
3117
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
3118
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
3119
3120
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
3121
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
3122
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
3123
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
3124
3125
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
3126
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
3127
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
3128
3129
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
3130
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
3131
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
3132
3133
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
3134
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
3135
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
3136
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
3137
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
3138
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
3139
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
3140
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
3141
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
3142
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
3143
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
3144
3145
BUGFIXES:
3146
3147
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
3148
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
3149
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
3150
3151
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
3152
(Aaron Bentley)
3153
3154
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
3155
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
3156
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
3157
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
3158
3159
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
3160
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
3161
#83954).
3162
3163
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
3164
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
3165
3166
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
3167
3168
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
3169
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
3170
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
3171
3172
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
3173
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
3174
3175
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
3176
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
3177
3178
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
3179
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
3180
3181
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
3182
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
3183
3184
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
3185
3186
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
3187
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
3188
3189
TESTING:
3190
3191
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
3192
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

3200
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
3201
3202
BUG FIXES:
3203
3204
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
3205
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
3206
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
3207
3208
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
3209
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
3210
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
3214
-----------------------
3215
3216
IMPROVEMENTS:
3217
3218
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
3219
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
3220
server, then you can write over the http connection.
3221
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3222
3223
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
3224
(Marius Kruger)
3225
3226
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
3227
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
3228
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3229
3230
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
3231
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
3232
3233
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
3234
(Aaron Bentley)
3235
3236
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
3237
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
3238
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
3239
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
3240
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
3241
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
3242
3243
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
3244
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
3245
should enable you to do::
3246
3247
[/home/user/project]
3248
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
3249
push_location:policy = appendpath
3250
3251
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
3252
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
3253
(James Henstridge)
3254
3255
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
3256
for each file. For example::
3257
3258
$ bzr status --short
3259
A foo
3260
A bar
3261
D baz
3262
? wooley
3263
3264
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
3265
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
3266
3267
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
3268
3269
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
3270
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
3271
3272
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
3273
3274
INTERNALS:
3275
3276
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
3277
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
3278
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
3279
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
3280
3281
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
3282
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
3283
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
3284
3285
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3286
3287
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
3288
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
3289
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
3290
(Alexander Belchenko)
3291
3292
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
3293
Pool)
3294
3295
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
3296
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
3297
3298
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
3299
3300
BUG FIXES:
3301
3302
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
3303
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
3304
3305
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
3306
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
3307
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
3308
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
3309
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
3310
3311
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
3312
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
3313
3314
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
3315
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
3316
3317
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
3318
matcher.
3319
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
3320
3321
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
3322
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
3323
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
3324
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
3325
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
3326
3327
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
3328
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
3329
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
3330
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
3331
3332
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
3333
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
3334
3335
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
3336
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
3337
3338
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
3339
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
3340
3341
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

3353
IMPROVEMENTS:
3354
3355
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
3356
tree from a branch.
3357
(Daniel Silverstone)
3358
3359
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
3360
operations are substantially faster.
3361
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
3362
3363
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
3364
tree from some other url. For example:
3365
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
3366
(Daniel Silverstone)
3367
3368
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
3369
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
3370
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
3371
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
3372
3373
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
3374
(Andrew Bennetts)
3375
3376
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
3377
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
3378
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
3379
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
3380
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
3381
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
3382
3383
INTERNALS:
3384
3385
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
3386
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
3387
(Martin Pool)
3388
3389
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3390
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3391
(John Arbash Meinel)
3392
3393
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
3394
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
3395
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
3396
(John Arbash Meinel)
3397
3398
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
3399
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3400
3401
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3402
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3403
3404
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3405
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3406
Bennetts)
3407
3408
BUG FIXES:
3409
3410
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
3411
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
3412
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
3413
3414
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
3415
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
3416
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
3417
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
3418
3419
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3420
3421
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3422
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3423
3424
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3425
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3426
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
3427
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3428
3429
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3430
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3431
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3432
3433
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3434
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3435
them as full references rather than integers.
3436
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3437
3438
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3439
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3440
3441
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3442
3443
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3444
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3445
3446
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3447
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3448
3449
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3450
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3451
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3452
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3453
3454
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3455
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3456
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3457
3458
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3459
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3460
3461
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3462
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3463
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3464
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3465
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3466
3467
TESTING:
3468
3469
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3470
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

3473
--------------------
3474
3475
INTERNALS:
3476
3477
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3478
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3479
(John Arbash Meinel)
3480
3481
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
3482
-----------------------
3483
3484
IMPROVEMENTS:
3485
3486
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3487
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3488
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3489
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3490
3491
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3492
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3493
3494
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3495
3496
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3497
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3498
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3499
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3500
3501
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3502
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3503
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3504
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3505
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3506
3507
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3508
3509
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3510
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3511
3512
INTERNALS:
3513
3514
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3515
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3516
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3517
3518
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3519
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3520
(John Arbash Meinel)
3521
3522
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3523
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3524
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3525
3526
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3527
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3528
(Aaron Bentley)
3529
3530
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3531
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3532
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3533
3534
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3535
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3536
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3537
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3538
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3539
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3540
3541
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3542
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3543
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3544
(Robert Collins)
3545
3546
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3547
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3548
3549
BUG FIXES:
3550
3551
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3552
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3553
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3554
#63360, #66349)
3555
3556
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3557
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3558
3559
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3560
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3561
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3562
3563
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3564
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3565
3566
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3567
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3568
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3569
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3570
3571
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3572
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3573
3574
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3575
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3576
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3577
3578
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3579
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3580
3581
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3582
3583
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3584
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3585
#32054)
3586
3587
TESTING:
3588
3589
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3590
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3591
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3592
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3593
3594
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3595
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3596
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3597

bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
3614
-----------------------
3615
3616
IMPROVEMENTS:
3617
3618
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3619
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3620
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3621
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3622
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3623
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3624
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3625
3626
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3627
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3628
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3629
3630
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3631
3632
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3633
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3634
3635
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3636
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3637
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3638
(Robert Collins)
3639
3640
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3641
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3642
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3643
(John Arbash Meinel)
3644
3645
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3646
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3647
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3648
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3649
Pool)
3650
3651
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3652
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3653
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
3654
(John Arbash Meinel)
3655
3656
BUG FIXES:
3657
3658
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
3659
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
3660
3661
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3662
3663
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3664
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3665
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
3666
3667
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3668
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
3669
3670
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3671
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3672
3673
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3674
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3675
3676
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
3677
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
3678
3679
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3680
3681
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3682
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3683
3684
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3685
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3686
3687
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3688
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3689
3690
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3691
(John Arbash Meinel)
3692
3693
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3694
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3695
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3696
3697
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3698
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3699
3700
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3701
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3702
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3703
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3704
3705
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3706
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3707
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
3708
3709
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
3710
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
3711
3712
PORTABILITY:
3713
3714
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3715
3716
INTERNALS:
3717
3718
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3719
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3720
(John Arbash Meinel)
3721
3722
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3723
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3724
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3725
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3726
3727
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3728
(Andrew Bennetts)
3729
3730
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3731
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3732
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3733
3734
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3735
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3736
3737
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3738
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3739
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3740
3741
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3742
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3743
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3744
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3745
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3746
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3747
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3748
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3749
caller to repeat their request.
3750
(John Arbash Meinel)
3751
3752
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3753
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3754
3755
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3756
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3757
3758
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3759
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3760
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3761
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3762
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3763
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3764
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3765
3766
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3767
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3768
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3769
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3770
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3771
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3772
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3773
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3774
(Robert Collins)
3775
3776
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3777
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3778
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3779
3780
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3781
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3782
3783
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3784
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3785
3786
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3787
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3788
3789
TESTING:
3790
3791
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3792
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3793
3794
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3795
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3796
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3797
3798
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3799
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3800
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3801
3802
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
3803
--------------------
3804
3805
IMPROVEMENTS:
3806
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3807
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3808
3809
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3810
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3811
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3812
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3813
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3814
3815
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3816
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3817
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3818
3819
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3820
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3821
3822
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3823
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3824
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3825
3826
BUG FIXES:
3827
3828
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3829
3830
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3831
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
3832
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
3833
3834
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
3835
3836
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
3837
3838
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
3839
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
3840
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
3841
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
3842
3843
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
3844
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
3845
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
3846
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
3847
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
3848
3849
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
3850
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
3851
3852
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
3853
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
3854
3855
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
3856
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
3857
3858
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
3859
in handling of revision properties.
3860
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
3861
3862
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
3863
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
3864
3865
INTERNALS:
3866
3867
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
3868
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
3869
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
3870
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
3871
(John Arbash Meinel)
3872
3873
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
3874
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
3875
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3876
3877
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
3878
---------------------
3879
3880
SURPRISES:
3881
3882
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
3883
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
3884
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
3885
specific one '.bzrignore'.
3886
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
3887
a more conservative list than the old default.
3888
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
3889
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
3890
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
3891
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
3892
3893
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
3894
to more locations than just branch locations.
3895
(Aaron Bentley)
3896
3897
IMPROVEMENTS:
3898
3899
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
3900
revno:N:branch. For example,
3901
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
3902
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
3903
3904
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
3905
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
3906
the path of a file that has been versioned.
3907
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
3908
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
3909
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
3910
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
3911
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
3912
#42517, #42514)
3913
3914
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
3915
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
3916
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
3917
(Malone #3507)
3918
3919
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
3920
(Alexander Belchenko)
3921
3922
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
3923
3924
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
3925
(Robert Collins).
3926
3927
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
3928
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
3929
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
3930
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
3931
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
3932
(John Arbash Meinel)
3933
3934
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
3935
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
3936
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
3937
grained analysis of performance.
3938
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3939
3940
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
3941
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
3942
3943
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
3944
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
3945
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
3946
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
3947
file. (Robert Collins).
3948
3949
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
3950
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
3951
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
3952
3953
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
3954
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
3955
Matthieu Moy)
3956
3957
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
3958
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
3959
3960
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
3961
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
3962
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
3963
the same way you would apply another branch.
3964
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3965
3966
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
3967
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
3968
3969
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
3970
(Michael Ellerman)
3971
3972
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
3973
(Aaron Bentley)
3974
3975
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
3976
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
3977
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
3978
3979
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
3980
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
3981
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
3982
3983
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
3984
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
3985
3986
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
3987
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
3988
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
3989
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
3990
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
3991
3992
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
3993
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
3994
3995
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
3996
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
3997
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
3998
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
3999
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
4000
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
4001
branch is as much as 4x faster.
4002
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
4003
4004
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
4005
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
4006
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
4007
4008
BUG FIXES:
4009
4010
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4011
tests not to run.
4012
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4013
4014
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4015
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4016
4017
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4018
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4019
4020
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4021
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4022
4023
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4024
4025
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4026
(John Arbash Meinel)
4027
4028
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4029
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4030
4031
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4032
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4033
and y.
4034
4035
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4036
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4037
4038
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4039
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4040
4041
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4042
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4043
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4044
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4045
4046
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4047
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4048
4049
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4050
4051
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4052
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4053
4054
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4055
4056
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4057
4058
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4059
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4060
4061
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4062
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4063
4064
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4065
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4066
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4067
4068
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4069
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4070
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4071
4072
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4073
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4074
4075
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4076
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4077
4078
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4079
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4080
4081
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4082
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4083
4084
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4085
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
4086
4087
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
4088
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
4089
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
4090
4091
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
4092
4093
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
4094
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
4095
4096
INTERNALS:
4097
4098
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
4099
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
4100
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
4101
4102
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
4103
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
4104
4105
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
4106
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
4107
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4108
4109
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
4110
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4111
4112
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
4113
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
4114
(Martin Pool)
4115
4116
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
4117
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
4118
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4119
4120
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
4121
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
4122
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4123
4124
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
4125
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
4126
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
4127
4128
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
4129
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
4130
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
4131
4132
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
4133
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
4134
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
4135
4136
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
4137
instead. (Robert Collins)
4138
4139
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

4177
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
4178
4179
NEW FEATURES:

4181
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into

4196
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
4197
-------------------
4198
4199
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4200
4201
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
4202
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
4203
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
4204
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
4205
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
4206
will keep the same format.
4207
4208
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
4209
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
4210
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
4211
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
4212
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
4213
4214
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
4215
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
4216
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
4217
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
4218
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
4219
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
4220
indicating the current revision of the branch.
4221
4222
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
4223
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
4224
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
4225
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
4226
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
4227
4228
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
4229
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
4230
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
4231
arrangement.
4232
4233
4234
IMPROVEMENTS:
4235
4236
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
4237
convention. Paths now take the form::
4238
4239
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
4240
or
4241
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
4242
4243
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
4244
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
4245
4246
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
4247
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
4248
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
4249
4250
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
4251
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
4252
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
4253
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
4254
4255
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
4256
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
4257
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
4258
4259
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
4260
4261
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
4262
4263
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
4264
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
4265
commits::
4266
4267
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
4268
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
4269
| xargs bzr re-sign
4270
4271
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
4272
4273
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
4274
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
4275
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
4276
(Robert Collins)
4277
4278
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
4279
4280
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
4281
4282
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
4283
'.moved'.
4284
4285
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
4286
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
4287
4288
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
4289
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
4290
Daniel Silverstone)
4291
4292
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
4293
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
4294
Martin Pool)
4295
4296
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
4297
4298
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
4299
4300
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
4301
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
4302
4303
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
4304
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
4305
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
4306
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
4307
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
4308
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
4309
4310
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
4311
4312
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
4313
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
4314
(Robert Collins)
4315
4316
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
4317
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
4318
4319
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
4320
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
4321
4322
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
4323
4324
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
4325
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
4326
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
4327
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
4328
specification by Martin Pool.
4329
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
4330
4331
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
4332
Belchenko)
4333
4334
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
4335
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4336
4337
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
4338
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
4339
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
4340
4341
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
4342
4343
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
4344
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
4345
(Robert Collins)
4346
4347
CHANGES:
4348
4349
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
4350
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4351
4352
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
4353
4354
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
4355
4356
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
4357
(Olaf Conradi)
4358
4359
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
4360
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
4361
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
4362
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
4363
4364
INTERNALS:
4365
4366
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
4367
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
4368
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
4369
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4370
4371
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
4372
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
4373
tried. (Martin Pool)
4374
4375
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
4376
(Martin Pool)
4377
4378
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
4379
4380
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
4381
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
4382
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
4383
4384
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
4385
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
4386
4387
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
4388
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
4389
paths. (Robert Collins)
4390
4391
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
4392
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
4393
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
4394
4395
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
4396
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
4397
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
4398
4399
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4400
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4401
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4402
4403
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4404
(Olaf Conradi)
4405
4406
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4407
(Olaf Conradi)
4408
4409
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4410
4411
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4412
4413
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
4414
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
4415
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
4416
(Robert Collins)
4417
4418
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4419
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4420
4421
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
4422
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
4423
check. (Robert Collins)
4424
4425
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4426
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4427
4428
TESTING:
4429
4430
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4431
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4432
4433
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4434
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4435
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4436
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4437
4438
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4439
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4440
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4441
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4442
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4443
4444
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4445
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4446
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4447
4448
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4449
4450
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4451
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
4452
4453
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
4454
------------------
4455
4456
CHANGES:
4457
4458
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4459
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4460
4461
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4462
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4463
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4464
(Johan Rydberg)
4465
4466
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4467
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4468
4469
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4470
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4471
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4472
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4473
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4474
4475
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4476
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4477
used. (Robert Collins)
4478
4479
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4480
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4481
(James Henstridge)
4482
4483
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4484
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4485
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4486
4487
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4488
ignore list.
4489
4490
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4491
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4492
4493
IMPROVEMENTS:
4494
4495
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4496
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4497
4498
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4499
4500
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4501
4502
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4503
tree. (Robert Collins)
4504
4505
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4506
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4507
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4508
(Robert Collins)
4509
4510
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4511
that they be kept.
4512
4513
* Tweaks to short log printing
4514
4515
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4516
(Aaron Bentley)
4517
4518
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4519
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4520
4521
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4522
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4523
4524
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4525
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4526
4527
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
4528
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4529
settings. (Magnus Therning)
4530
4531
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
4532
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4533
4534
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4535
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4536
requests.
4537
4538
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4539
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4540
4541
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
4542
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
4543
4544
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
4545
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
4546
4547
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
4548
(Denys Duchier)
4549
4550
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
4551
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4552
4553
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4554
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4555
4556
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4557
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4558
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
4559
4560
BUG FIXES:
4561
4562
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
4563
4564
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4565
4566
* Error when run with -OO
4567
4568
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
4569
(Martin Pool)
4570
4571
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4572
4573
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4574
4575
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4576
ignored by diff and status
4577
4578
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4579
able to be used. (John A Meinel)

4581
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
4582
4583
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4584
4585
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4586
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4587
4588
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4589
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4590
4591
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4592
(Harald Meland)
4593
4594
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4595
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4596
4597
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4598
4599
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4600
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4601
4602
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4603
(Martin Pool)
4604
4605
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4606
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4607
4608
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4609
4610
TESTING:
4611
4612
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4613
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4614
4615
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4616
4617
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4618
4619
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4620
4621
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4622
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4623
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4624
4625
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4626
4627
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4628
(John Arbash Meinel)
4629
4630
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4631
4632
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4633
If adding a new test script please add that to
4634
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4635
4636
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4637
imported. (Martin Pool)
4638
4639
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4640
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4641
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4642
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4643
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4644
(Robert Collins)
4645
4646
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4647
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4648
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4649
4650
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4651
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4652
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4653
4654
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4655
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4656
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4657
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4658
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4659
(Robert Collins).
4660
4661
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4662
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4663
(Robert Collins).
4664
4665
INTERNALS:
4666
4667
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4668
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4669
4670
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4671
function. (Robert Collins)
4672
4673
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4674
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4675
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4676
4677
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4678
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4679
(Robert Collins)
4680
4681
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4682
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4683
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4684
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4685
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4686
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4687
version. (Robert Collins)
4688
4689
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4690
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4691
4692
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4693
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4694
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4695
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4696
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4697
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4698
4699
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4700
(Robert Collins)
4701
4702
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4703
4704
add()
4705
commit()
4706
move()
4707
rename_one()
4708
unknowns()
4709
4710
(Robert Collins)
4711
4712
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4713
4714
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4715
4716
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4717
Pool)
4718
4719
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4720
query method. (Robert Collins)
4721
4722
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4723
(Denys Duchier)
4724
4725
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4726
(Michael Ellerman)
4727
4728
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4729
(Michael Ellerman)
4730
4731
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4732
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4733
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4734
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4735
4736
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4737
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4738
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4739
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4740
4741
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4742
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

4747
IMPROVEMENTS:
4748
4749
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4750
(John A Meinel)
4751
4752
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4753
conflicts.
4754
(Aaron Bentley)
4755
4756
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4757
a separator, not ':'.
4758
(Aaron Bentley)
4759
4760
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4761
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4762
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4763
4764
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4765
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4766
(Robert Collins)
4767
4768
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4769
has been added that suppresses all output.
4770
4771
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4772
Adams.
4773
4774
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4775
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4776
4777
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4778
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4779
4780
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4781
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4782
4783
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4784
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4785
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4786
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4787
4788
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4789
4790
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4791
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4792
4793
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4794
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4795
4796
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4797
output directory, if one was supplied.
4798
4799
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4800
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4801
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4802
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4803
4804
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4805
4806
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4807
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4808
4809
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4810
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4811
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4812
4813
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4814
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4815
4816
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4817
(Aaron Bentley)
4818
4819
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4820
4821
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4822
4823
TESTING:
4824
4825
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4826
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4827
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4828
4829
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4830
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4831
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4832
4833
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
4834
is given. (Martin Pool)
4835
4836
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
4837
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
4838
file. (Robert Collins)
4839
4840
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
4841
(Martin Pool)
4842
4843
INTERNALS:
4844
4845
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
4846
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
4847
representation. (Martin Pool).
4848
4849
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
4850
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
4851
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
4852
4853
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4854
(Robert Collins)
4855
4856
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
4857
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
4858
Magnus Therning.
4859
4860
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4861
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
4862
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
4863
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
4864
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4865
4866
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
4867
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
4868
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
4869
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
4870
python path. (Robert Collins)
4871
4872
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
4873
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
4874
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
4875
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
4876
4877
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
4878
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
4879
4880
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
4881
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
4882
(Robert Collins)
4883
4884
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
4885
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
4886
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
4887
4888
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
4889
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
4890
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
4891
4892
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4893
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4894
4895
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
4896
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
4897
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
4898
(Robert Collins)
4899
4900
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
4901
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
4902
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
4903
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
4904
(Robert Collins)
4905
4906
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
4907
(Robert Collins)
4908
4909
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
4910
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
4911
(Robert Collins)
4912
4913
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
4914
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
4915
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
4916
4917
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
4918
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
4919
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
4920
4921
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
4922
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
4923
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
4924
4925
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4926
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4927
4928
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
4929
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
4930
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
4931
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
4932
caller. (Robert Collins)
4933
4934
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
4935
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
4936
(Robert Collins).
4937
4938
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
4939
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
4940
(Aaron Bentley)
4941
4942
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
4943
4944
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
4945
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
4946
4947
BUG FIXES:
4948
4949
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
4950
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
4951
4952
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
4953
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
4954
4955
4956
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
4957
--------------------
4958
4959
BUG FIXES:
4960
4961
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
4962
allow directories to be listed.
4963
4964
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
4965
upgrading branch format.
4966
4967
PERFORMANCE:
4968
4969
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

4971
4972
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
4973
------------------
4974
4975
NOTES:
4976
4977
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
4978
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
4979
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
4980
high-latency connections.
4981
4982
BUG FIXES:
4983
4984
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
4985
Rob Weir.
4986
4987
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
4988
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
4989
4990
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
4991
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
4992
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
4993
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4994
4995
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
4996
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
4997
4998
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
4999
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5000
5001
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
5002
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
5003
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5004
5005
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
5006
for files with only a change to their executable status.
5007
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
5008
Robert Collins
5009
5010
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5011
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5012
5013
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5014
different partial views of history.
5015
5016
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5017
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5018
5019
IMPROVEMENTS:
5020
5021
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5022
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5023
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5024
5025
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5026
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5027
'bzr upgrade'.
5028
5029
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5030
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5031
5032
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5033
Niemeyer.
5034
5035
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5036
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5037
5038
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5039
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5040
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5041
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5042
5043
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5044
5045
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5046
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5047
Gustavo Niemeyer.
5048
5049
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5050
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5051
5052
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5053
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5054
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5055
5056
5057
INTERNALS:
5058
5059
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5060
for your viewing pleasure.
5061
5062
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5063
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5064
5065
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5066
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5067
handling of such circumstances.
5068
5069
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
5070
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
5071
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
5072
5073
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5074
5075
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5076
we call them revisions not patches.
5077
5078
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5079
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5080
5081
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
5082
giving the revision *of that file*.
5083
5084
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
5085
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
5086
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
5087
5088
TESTING:
5089
5090
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
5091
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
5092
5093
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
5094
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
5095
5096
5097
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
5098
--------------------
5099
5100
BUG FIXES:
5101
5102
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
5103
5104
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
5105
(Robert Collins).
5106
5107
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
5108
5109
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
5110
5111
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
5112
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5113
5114
IMPROVEMENTS:
5115
5116
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
5117
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
5118
5119
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
5120
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
5121
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
5122
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
5123
Robey Pointer
5124
5125
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
5126
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5127
5128
INTERNALS:
5129
5130
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
5131
5132
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
5133
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
5134
5135
5136
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
5137
--------------------
5138
5139
IMPROVEMENTS:
5140
5141
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
5142
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
5143
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
5144
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
5145
Michael Ellerman.
5146
5147
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
5148
(Nir Soffer)
5149
5150
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
5151
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
5152
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
5153
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
5154
for the operating system is still tried.
5155
5156
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
5157
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
5158
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
5159
5160
5161
INTERNALS:
5162
5163
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
5164
5165
BUG FIXES:
5166
5167
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
5168
5169
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
5170
branch.
5171
5172
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
5173
read.
5174
5175
5176
PORTABILITY:
5177
5178
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
5179
5180
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
5181
5182
5183
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
5184
--------------------
5185
5186
NEW FEATURES:
5187
5188
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
5189
help with intelligent shell completion.
5190
5191
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
5192
5193
5194
ENHANCEMENTS:
5195
5196
* Much better merge support.
5197
5198
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
5199
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
5200
like emacs smerge.
5201
5202
5203
BUG FIXES:
5204
5205
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
5206
mention revisions that are not present.
5207
5208
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
5209
5210
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
5211
5212
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
5213
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
5214
5215
5216
CHANGES:
5217
5218
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
5219
5220
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
5221
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
5222
--help themselves.
5223
5224
5225
LIBRARY:
5226
5227
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
5228
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
5229
libraries.
5230
5231
5232
5233
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
5234
--------------------
5235
5236
NEW FEATURES:
5237
5238
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
5239
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
5240
5241
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
5242
5243
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
5244
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
5245
5246
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
5247
FOO.
5248
5249
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
5250
5251
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
5252
the Unix command.
5253
5254
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
5255
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
5256
5257
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
5258
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
5259
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
5260
5261
5262
ENHANCEMENTS:
5263
5264
* Faster working tree operations.
5265
5266
5267
CHANGES:
5268
5269
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
5270
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
5271
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
5272
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
5273
5274
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
5275
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
5276
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
5277
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
5278
standard plugins directory.
5279
5280
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
5281
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
5282
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
5283
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
5284
5285
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
5286
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
5287
5288
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
5289
disk.
5290
5291
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
5292
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
5293
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
5294
5295
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
5296
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
5297
5298
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
5299
line options must come before the command name because they
5300
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
5301
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
5302
it.
5303
5304
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
5305
5306
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
5307
is available with ``--short``.
5308
5309
5310
BUG FIXES:
5311
5312
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
5313
5314
5315
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
5316
---------------------
5317
5318
CHANGES:
5319
5320
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
5321
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5322
5323
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
5324
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
5325
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
5326
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
5327
5328
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
5329
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
5330
with the ``--forward`` option.
5331
5332
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
5333
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
5334
field.
5335
5336
5337
ENHANCEMENTS:
5338
5339
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
5340
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
5341
5342
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
5343
5344
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
5345
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
5346
5347
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
5348
5349
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
5350
either read or write mode.
5351
5352
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
5353
5354
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
5355
affected that file.
5356
5357
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
5358
5359
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
5360
suggested by LarstiQ.
5361
5362
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
5363
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
5364
5365
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
5366
a filename.
5367
5368
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
5369
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
5370
5371
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
5372
haven't changed since the previous time.
5373
5374
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
5375
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
5376
5377
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
5378
5379
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
5380
5381
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
5382
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
5383
5384
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
5385
options through to an external GNU diff.
5386
5387
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
5388
their contents.
5389
5390
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
5391
from a branch.
5392
5393
5394
BUG FIXES:
5395
5396
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
5397
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
5398
5399
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
5400
metacharacters.
5401
5402
5403
TESTING:
5404
5405
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
5406
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
5407
the tests.
5408
5409
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
5410
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
5411
5412
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
5413
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
5414
5415
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
5416
under a different version.
5417
5418
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
5419
5420
5421
INTERNAL:
5422
5423
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
5424
5425
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
5426
Scott James Remnant.
5427
5428
* Better help messages for many commands.
5429
5430
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
5431
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
5432
5433
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
5434
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
5435
5436
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
5437
5438
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
5439
5440
* New AtomicFile class.
5441
5442
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
5443
5444
5445
PORTABILITY:
5446
5447
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
5448
2.4 is now only recommended.
5449
5450
5451
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
5452
---------------------
5453
5454
ENHANCEMENTS:
5455
5456
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
5457
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
5458
5459
* More default ignore patterns.
5460
5461
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
5462
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
5463
5464
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
5465
5466
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
5467
by Jason Diamon.
5468
5469
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
5470
5471
5472
CHANGES:
5473
5474
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
5475
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
5476
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
5477
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
5478
there are DNS problems.
5479
5480
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
5481
5482
5483
BUG FIXES:
5484
5485
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
5486
5487
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
5488
5489
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
5490
trailing newlines properly.
5491
5492
5493
INTERNAL:
5494
5495
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
5496
Matt Brubeck.
5497
5498
* More tests in test.sh.
5499
5500
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
5501
directory and delete it when done.
5502
5503
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
5504
5505
5506
PORTABILITY:
5507
5508
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
5509
Bennetts.
5510
5511
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
5512
from QuantumG.

5514
5515
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
5516
---------------------
5517
5518
ENHANCEMENTS:
5519
5520
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
5521
in the tree.
5522
5523
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
5524
5525
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
5526
and/or directory.
5527
5528
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
5529
directory.
5530
5531
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
5532
5533
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
5534
5535
CHANGES:
5536
5537
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
5538
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
5539
will do for now.)
5540
5541
PORTABILITY:
5542
5543
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
5544
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
5545
Nielsen.
5546
5547
INTERNAL:
5548
5549
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
5550
5551
TESTING:
5552
5553
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.

bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
5565
-----------------------------------
5566
5567
ENHANCEMENTS:
5568
5569
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
5570
5571
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
5572
rather than replacing it.
5573
5574
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
5575
5576
* More help topics.
5577
5578
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
5579
branch.
5580
5581
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
5582
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
5583
5584
* Performance improvements.
5585
5586
* New global --profile option.
5587
5588
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
5589
the root directory only.
5590
5591
5592
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
5593
---------------------
5594
5595
ENHANCEMENTS:
5596
5597
* More information from info command.
5598
5599
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
5600
5601
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
5602
committing to stores.
5603
5604
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
5605
5606
BUG FIXES:
5607
5608
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
5609
5610
PORTABILITY:
5611
5612
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
5613
installation easier.
5614
5615
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
5616
supported).

5619
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
5620
------------------------
5621
5622
ENHANCEMENTS:
5623
5624
* First public release.
5625
5626
* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
5627
diff, status, etc.
Loggerhead is a web-based interface for Breezy
