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
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
36
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
37
38
IMPROVEMENTS:
39
40
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
41
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
42
43
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
44
(Chad Miller)
45
46
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
47
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
48
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
49
50
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
51
(Aaron Bentley)
52
53
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
54
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
55
56
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
57
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
58
59
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
60
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
61
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
62
63
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
64
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
65
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
66
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
67
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
68
69
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
70
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
71
72
BUGFIXES:
73
74
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
75
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
76
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
77
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
78
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
79
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
80
81
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
82
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
83
84
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
85
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
86
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
87
88
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
89
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
90
91
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
92
93
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
94
95
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
96
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
97
98
DOCUMENTATION:
99
100
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
101
102
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
103
104
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
105
106
API BREAKS:
107
108
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
109
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
110
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
111
112
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
113
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
114
release. (James Westby)
115
116
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
117
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
118
119
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
120
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
121
122
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
123
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
124
125
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
126
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
127
128
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
129
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
130
(Robert Collins)
131
132
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
133
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
134
135
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
136
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
137
138
TESTING:
139
140
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
141
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
142
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
143
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
144
145
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
146
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
147
(Vincent Ladeuil)
148
149
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
150
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
151
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
152
153
INTERNALS:
154
155
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
156
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)
157
158
159
bzr 1.3 2008-03-20
160
------------------
161
162
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
163
164
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
165
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
166
features have been added.
167
168
TESTING:
169
170
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
171
directory names.
172
(#202778, Martin Pool)
173
174
175
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-03-16
176
---------------------
177
178
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
179
180
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
181
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
182
183
CHANGES:
184
185
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
186
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
187
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
188
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
189
(Robert Collins)
190
191
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
192
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
193
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
194
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
195
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
196
(Alexander Belchenko)
197
198
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
199
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
200
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
201
(Alexander Belchenko)
202
203
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
204
205
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
206
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
207
208
FEATURES:
209
210
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
211
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
212
213
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
214
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
215
(Jelmer Vernooij)
216
217
IMPROVEMENTS:
218
219
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
220
221
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
222
223
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
224
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
225
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
226
227
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
228
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
229
230
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
231
to. (Daniel Watkins)
232
233
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
234
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
235
(Alexander Belchenko)
236
237
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
238
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
239
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
240
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
241
242
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
243
(Daniel Watkins)
244
245
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
246
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
247
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
248
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
249
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
250
251
BUGFIXES:
252
253
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
254
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
255
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
256
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
257
258
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
259
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
260
261
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
262
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
263
264
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
265
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
266
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
267
268
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
269
(#198793, John Ferlito)
270
271
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
272
#196618)
273
274
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
275
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
276
277
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
278
279
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
280
281
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
282
symlinks (James Henstridge)
283
284
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
285
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
286
287
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
288
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
289
290
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
291
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
292
293
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
294
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
295
296
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
297
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
298
299
DOCUMENTATION:
300
301
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
302
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
303
304
API BREAKS:
305
306
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
307
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
308
(Alexander Belchenko)
309
310
TESTING:
311
312
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
313
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
314
(Robert Collins)
315
316
INTERNALS:
317
318
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
319
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
320
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
321
322
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
323
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
324
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
325
(Alexander Belchenko)
326
327
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
328
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
329
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
330
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
331
332
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
333
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
334
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
335
(Robert Collins)
336
337
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
338
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
339
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
340
341
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
342
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
343
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
344
345
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
346
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
347
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
348
format. (Robert Collins)
349
350
351
bzr 1.2 2008-02-15
352
------------------
353
354
BUG FIXES:
355
356
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
357
358
359
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
360
---------------------
361
362
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
363
364
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
365
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
366
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
367
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
368
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
369
(Andrew Bennetts)
370
371
CHANGES:
372
373
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
374
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
375
376
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
377
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
378
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
379
380
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
381
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
382
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
383
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
384
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
385
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
386
(Aaron Bentley)
387
388
FEATURES:
389
390
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
391
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
392
393
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
394
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
395
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
396
(Robert Collins)
397
398
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
399
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
400
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
401
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
402
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
403
404
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
405
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
406
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
407
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
408
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
409
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
410
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
411
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
412
413
IMPROVEMENTS:
414
415
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
416
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
417
418
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
419
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
420
421
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
422
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
423
424
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
425
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
426
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
427
428
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
429
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
430
(John Arbash Meinel)
431
432
BUGFIXES:
433
434
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
435
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
436
437
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
438
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
439
440
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
441
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
442
443
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
444
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
445
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
446
447
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
448
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
449
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
450
451
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
452
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
453
454
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
455
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
456
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
457
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
458
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
459
unittest runner.
460
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
461
462
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
463
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
464
#185907)
465
466
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
467
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
468
469
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
470
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
471
472
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
473
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
474
475
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
476
more characters which should be considered valid.
477
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
478
479
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
480
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
481
482
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
483
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
484
485
API BREAKS:
486
487
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
488
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
489
490
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
491
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
492
(Martin Pool)
493
494
TESTING:
495
496
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
497
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
498
(Vincent Ladeuil)
499
500
INTERNALS:
501
502
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
503
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
504
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
505
506
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
507
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
508
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
509
510
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
511
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
512
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
513
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
514
515
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
516
517
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
518
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
519
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
520
server. (Robert Collins)
521
522
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
523
operate. (Robert Collins)
524
525
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
526
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
527
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
528
529
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
530
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
531
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
532
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
533
534
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
535
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
536
537
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
538
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
539
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
540
541
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
542
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
543
544
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
545
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
546
547
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
548
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
549
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
550
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

555
556
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
557
558
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
559
---------------------
560
561
CHANGES:
562
563
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
564
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
565
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
566
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
567
568
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
569
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
570
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
571
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
572
573
FEATURES:
574
575
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
576
(Lukáš Lalinský)
577
578
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
579
(Aaron Bentley)
580
581
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
582
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
583
584
IMPROVEMENTS:
585
586
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
587
#90049)
588
589
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
590
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
591
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
592
593
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
594
595
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
596
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
597
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
598
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
599
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
600
601
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
602
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
603
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
604
605
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
606
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
607
608
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
609
(Vincent Ladeuil)
610
611
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
612
613
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
614
615
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
616
(Aaron Bentley)
617
618
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
619
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
620
621
BUGFIXES:
622
623
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
624
(Martin Pool, #180208)
625
626
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
627
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
628
629
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
630
(Aaron Bentley)
631
632
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
633
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
634
635
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
636
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
637
638
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
639
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
640
641
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
642
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
643
644
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
645
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
646
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
647
648
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
649
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
650
651
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
652
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
653
(Aaron Bentley)
654
655
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
656
657
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
658
user:pass embedded in the urls.
659
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
660
661
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
662
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
663
664
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
665
(Aaron Bentley)
666
667
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
668
#148087)
669
670
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
671
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
672
673
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
674
#137681)
675
676
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
677
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
678
(Aaron Bentley)
679
680
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
681
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
682
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
683
684
DOCUMENTATION:
685
686
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
687
(Ian Clatworthy)
688
689
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
690
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
691
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
692
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
693
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
694
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
695
696
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
697
698
INTERNALS:
699
700
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
701
(Aaron Bentley)
702
703
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
704
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
705
706
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
707
708
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
709
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
710
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
711
Robert Collins)
712
713
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
714
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
715
716
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
717
(Vincent Ladeuil)
718
719
API BREAKS:
720
721
TESTING:
722
723
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
724
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
725
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
726
727
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
728
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
729
(Robert Collins)
730
731
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
732
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
733
734
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
735
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
736
737
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
738
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
739
740
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
741
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
742
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
743
744
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
745
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
746
747
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
748
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
749
750
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
751
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
752
(Vincent Ladeuil)
753
754
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
755
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
756
757
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
758
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

(Ian Clatworthy)
770
771

781
CHANGES:
782
783
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
784
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
785
by mail to the mailing list.
786
(Martin Pool)
787
788
BUGFIXES:
789
790
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
791
792
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
793
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
794
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
795
feedback but also incur more latency.
796
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
797
798
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
799
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
800
801
DOCUMENTATION:
802
803
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)

(Ian Clatworthy)
807
808
INTERNALS:
809
810
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
811
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
812
wraps its output in a StringIO.

819
IMPROVEMENTS:
820
821
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
822
823
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
824
(Aaron Bentley)
825
826
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
827
Nordhoff, #172612)
828
829
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
830
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
831
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
832
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
833
834
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
835
(Kent Gibson)
836
837
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
838
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
839
840
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
841
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
842
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
843
844
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
845
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
846
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
847
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
848
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
849
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
850
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
851
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
852
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
853
854
INTERNALS:
855
856
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.

860
861
BUGFIXES:
862
863
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
864
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
865
866
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
867
filename to user.
868
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
869
870
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
871
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
872
required.
873
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
874
875
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
876
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
877
878
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
879
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
880
881

bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
888
---------------------
889
890
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
891
892
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
893
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
894
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
895
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
896
897
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
898
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
899
900
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
901
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
902
903
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
904
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
905
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
906
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
907
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
908
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
909
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
910
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
911
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
912
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
913
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
914
from any tree without problems.
915
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
916
917
CHANGES:
918
919
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
920
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
921
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
922
923
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
924
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
925
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
926
(Martin Pool)
927
928
FEATURES:
929
930
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
931
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
932
supported transports.
933
(Vincent Ladeuil)
934
935
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
936
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
937
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
938
939
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
940
(Robert Collins, #154173)
941
942
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
943
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
944
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
945
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
946
947
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
948
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
949
950
PERFORMANCE:
951
952
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
953
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
954
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
955
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
956
957
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
958
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
959
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
960
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
961
962
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
963
(Robert Collins, #88319)
964
965
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
966
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
967
968
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
969
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
970
971
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
972
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
973
(Aaron Bentley)
974
975
IMPROVEMENTS:
976
977
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
978
(Aaron Bentley)
979
980
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
981
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
982
(Lukáš Lalinský)
983
984
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
985
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
986
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
987
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
988
989
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
990
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
991
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
992
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

999
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
1000
1001
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
1002
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
1003
1004
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
1005
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
1006
1007
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
1008
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
1009
1010
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
1011
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
1012
1013
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
1014
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
1015
1016
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
1017
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
1018
1019
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
1020
(Aaron Bentley)
1021
1022
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
1023
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
1024
1025
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
1026
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
1027
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
1028
1029
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
1030
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
1031
1032
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
1033
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
1034
1035
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
1036
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
1037
1038
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
1039
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
1040
1041
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
1042
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
1043
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
1044
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
1045
on them.
1046
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1047
1048
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
1049
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1050
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
1051
1052
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
1053
(Robert Collins, #161240)
1054
1055
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
1056
to be reconciled.
1057
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1058
1059
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1060
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1061
1062
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1063
specify a port in urls.
1064
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1065
1066
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
1067
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
1068
1069
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
1070
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
1071
1072
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
1073
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
1074
1075
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
1076
(Robert Collins, #153789)
1077
1078
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
1079
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
1080
(Robert Collins, #165304).
1081
1082
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
1083
1084
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
1085
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
1086
1087
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
1088
Watkins, #152811)
1089
1090
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
1091
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
1092
1093
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
1094
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
1095
1096
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
1097
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
1098
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
1099
1100
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
1101
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
1102
1103
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
1104
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
1105
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
1106
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
1107
1108
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
1109
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
1110
1111
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
1112
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
1113
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
1114
1115
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
1116
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
1117
1118
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
1119
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
1120
1121
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
1122
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
1123
1124
API BREAKS:
1125
1126
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
1127
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
1128
1129
* The return value of
1130
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
1131
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
1132
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
1133
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
1134
1135
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
1136
(Robert Collins)
1137
1138
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
1139
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
1140
format.
1141
(Martin Pool)
1142
1143
INTERNALS:
1144
1145
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
1146
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
1147
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
1148
Bennetts)
1149
1150
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
1151
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
1152
1153
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1170
1171
CHANGES:
1172
1173
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
1174
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
1175
1176
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
1177
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
1178
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
1179
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
1180
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
1181
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
1182
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
1183
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
1184
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
1185
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
1186
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
1187
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
1188
(Robert Collins)
1189
1190
FEATURES:
1191
1192
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
1193
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
1194
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
1195
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
1196
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
1197
for further details. (Robert Collins)
1198
1199
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
1200
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
1201
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
1202
(Robert Collins)
1203
1204
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
1205
1206
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
1207
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
1208
1209
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
1210
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
1211
(Aaron Bentley)
1212
1213
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
1214
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
1215
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
1216
1217
PERFORMANCE:
1218
1219
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
1220
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1221
1222
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
1223
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
1224
1225
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
1226
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
1227
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
1228
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
1229
1230
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
1231
(Robert Collins)
1232
1233
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
1234
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
1235
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
1236
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
1237
1238
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
1239
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
1240
1241
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
1242
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1243
1244
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
1245
the contents. (Robert Collins)
1246
1247
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
1248
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
1249
1250
IMPROVEMENTS:
1251
1252
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
1253
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
1254
1255
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
1256
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
1257
1258
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
1259
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
1260
1261
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
1262
(Martin Pool, #63894)
1263
1264
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
1265
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
1266
1267
DOCUMENTATION:
1268
1269
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
1270
1271
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
1272
(Ian Clatworthy)
1273
1274
BUG FIXES:
1275
1276
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
1277
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
1278
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
1279
1280
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
1281
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
1282
1283
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
1284
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
1285
1286
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
1287
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
1288
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
1289
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
1290
1291
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
1292
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
1293
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
1294
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
1295
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
1296
1297
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
1298
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
1299
paramiko.
1300
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
1301
1302
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1303
1304
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
1305
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
1306
1307
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
1308
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
1309
1310
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
1311
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
1312
1313
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
1314
contains a symbolic link.
1315
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
1316
1317
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
1318
(James Westby, #140615)
1319
1320
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
1321
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
1322
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
1323
1324
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
1325
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
1326
(Martin Pool, #144633)
1327
1328
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1329
1330
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
1331
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
1332
1333
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
1334
will remain opened.
1335
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
1336
1337
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
1338
directory to detect leaking tests.
1339
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
1340
1341
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
1342
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
1343
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
1344
1345
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
1346
(Rob Weir, #141629)
1347
1348
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
1349
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
1350
1351
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
1352
Merwe)
1353
1354
API BREAKS:
1355
1356
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
1357
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
1358
1359
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
1360
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
1361
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
1362
1363
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
1364
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
1365
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
1366
1367
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
1368
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
1369
1370
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
1371
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
1372
1373
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
1374
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
1375
(Martin Pool)
1376
1377
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
1378
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
1379
1380
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
1381
class that needs it.
1382
(Martin Pool)
1383
1384
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
1385
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
1386
1387
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
1388
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
1389
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
1390
1391
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
1392
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
1393
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
1394
(Robert Collins)
1395
1396
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
1397
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
1398
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
1399
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
1400
(Robert Collins)
1401
1402
INTERNALS:
1403
1404
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1405
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1406
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1407
1408
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1409
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1410
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1411
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1412
1413
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1414
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1415
(Robert Collins)
1416
1417
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1418
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1419
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1420
1421
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1422
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1423
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1424
1425
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1426
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1427
1428
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1429
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1430
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1431
1432
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1433
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1434
1435
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1436
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1437
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1438
1439
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1440
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1441
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1442
1443
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1444
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1445
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1446
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1447
1448
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1449
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1450
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1451
returned. (Robert Collins)
1452
1453
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1454
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1455
1456
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1457
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1458
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1459
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1460
(Robert Collins)
1461
1462
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1463
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1464
1465
TESTING:
1466
1467
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1468
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1469
1470
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1471
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1472
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1473
makes this behavior available to other users.
1474
(Martin Pool)
1475
1476
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1477
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

1481
-------------------
1482
1483
BUG FIXES:
1484
1485
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1486
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1487
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1488
1489
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1490
1491
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1492
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1493
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1494
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1495
1496
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1497
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
1498

1500
1501
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1502
----------------------
1503
1504

1505
in bzrlib/remote.py.

1508
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
1509
----------------------
1510
1511
CHANGES:
1512
1513
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1514
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1515
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1516
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1517
(Martin Pool)
1518
1519
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1520
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1521
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1522
(Ian Clatworthy)
1523
1524
FEATURES:
1525
1526
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1527
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1528
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1529
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1530
1531
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1532
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1533
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1534
1535
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1536
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1537
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1538
1539
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1540
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1541
1542
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1543
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1544
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1545
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1546
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1547
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1548
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1549
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1550
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1551
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1552
1553
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1554
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1555
1556
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1557
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1558
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1559
1560
BUG FIXES:
1561
1562
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1563
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1564
1565
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1566
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1567
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1568
1569
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1570
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1571
1572
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1573
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1574
1575
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1576
(Aaron Bentley)
1577
1578
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1579
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1580
1581
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1582
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1583
1584
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1585
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1586
1587
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1588
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1589
1590
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1591
1592
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1593
Watkins, #106726)
1594
1595
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1596
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1597
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1598
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1599
1600
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1601
1602
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1603
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1604
#133548)
1605
1606
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1607
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1608
1609
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1610
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1611
#116143)
1612
1613
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1614
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1615
1616
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1617
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1618
1619
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1620
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1621
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1622
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1623
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1624
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1625
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1626
1627
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1628
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1629
1630
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1631
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1632
1633
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1634
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1635
1636
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1637
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1638
1639
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1640
connections.
1641
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1642
1643
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1644
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1645
1646
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1647
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1648
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1649
1650
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1651
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1652
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1653
1654
IMPROVEMENTS:
1655
1656
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1657
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1658
1659
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1660
(Aaron Bentley)
1661
1662
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1663
(Aaron Bentley)
1664
1665
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1666
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1667
1668
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1669
1670
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1671
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1672
1673
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1674
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1675
1676
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1677
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1678
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1679
space). (Robert Collins)
1680
1681
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1682
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1683
(Ian Clatworthy)
1684
1685
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1686
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1687
1688
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1689
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1690
1691
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1692
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1693
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1694
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1695
1696
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1697
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1698
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1699
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1700
1701
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1702
(Ian Clatworthy)
1703
1704
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1705
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1706
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1707
1708
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1709
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1710
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1711
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1712
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1713
1714
API BREAKS:
1715
1716
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1717
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1718
1719
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1720
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1721
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1722
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1723
affected. (Robert Collins)
1724
1725
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1726
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1727
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1728
(Robert Collins)
1729
1730
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1731
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1732
1733
TESTING:
1734
1735
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1736
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1737
1738
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1739
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1740
1741
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1742
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1743
1744
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1745
(Aaron Bentley)
1746
1747
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1748
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1749
1750
INTERNALS:
1751
1752
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1753
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1754
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1755
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1756
1757
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1758
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1759
1760
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1761
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1762
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1763
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1764
1765
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1766
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1767
present. (Robert Collins)
1768
1769
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1770
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1771
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1772
API. (Robert Collins)
1773
1774
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1775
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1776
(Robert Collins)
1777
1778
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1779
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1780
1781
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1782
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1783
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1784
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1785
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1786
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1787
1788
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1789
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1790
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1791
1792
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1793
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1794
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1795
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1796
protocol.
1797
1798
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1799
(Aaron Bentley)
1800
1801
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1802
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1803
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1804
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1805
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1806
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1807
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1808
1809
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1810
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1811
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1812
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1813
1814
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1815
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1816
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1817
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1818
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1819
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1820
1821
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1822
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1823
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1824
1825
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1826
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
1830
-------------------
1831
1832
IMPROVEMENTS:
1833
1834
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1835
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1836
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1837
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1838
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1839
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1840
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

1843
1844
API CHANGES:
1845
1846
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1847
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1848
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)

bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
1852
----------------------
1853
1854
BUGFIXES:
1855
1856
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1857
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1858
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1859
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1860
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1861
1862
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1863
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1864
1865
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1866
anymore.
1867
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
1868
1869
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
1870
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
1871
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1872
1873
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
1874
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
1875
#111664)
1876
1877
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
1878
(Lukáš Lalinský)

1880
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
1881
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
1882
1883
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
1884
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
1885
1886
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
1887
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
1888
1889
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
1890
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
1891
1892
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
1893
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
1894
1895
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
1896
(Aaron Bentley)
1897
1898
IMPROVEMENTS:
1899
1900
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
1901
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
1902
1903
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
1904
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
1905
1906
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
1907
the repository (Robert Collins)
1908
1909
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
1910
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
1911
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
1912
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
1913
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
1914
1915
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
1916
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1917
1918
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
1919
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
1920
(John Arbash Meinel)
1921
1922
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
1923
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
1924
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
1925
about 10%).
1926
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
1927
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
1928
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
1929
(John Arbash Meinel)
1930
1931
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
1932
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
1933
(Robert Collins)
1934
1935
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
1936
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
1937
1938
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
1939
(Ian Clatworthy)
1940
1941
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
1942
1943
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1944
1945
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
1946
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
1947
1948
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
1949
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
1950
Meinel)
1951
1952
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
1953
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
1954
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
1955
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1956
1957
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
1958
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
1959
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
1960
1961
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
1962
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
1963
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
1964
1965
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
1966
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
1967
1968
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
1969
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
1970
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
1971
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
1972
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
1973
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
1974
(Ian Clatworthy)
1975
1976
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
1977
(Alexander Belchenko)
1978
1979
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
1980
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
1981
1982
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
1983
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
1984
1985
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1986
1987
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
1988
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
1989
1990
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1991
1992
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
1993
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
1994
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
1995
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
1996
1997
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
1998
1999
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2000
(Robert Collins)
2001
2002
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2003
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2004
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2005
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2006
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2007
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2008
2009
INTERNALS:
2010
2011
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2012
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2013
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2014
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2015
2016
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2017
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2018
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2019
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2020
tests have been refactored too.
2021
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2022
2023
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2024
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2025
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2026
list, it will.
2027
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2028
2029
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2030
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2031
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2032
2033
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2034
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2035
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2036
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2037
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2038
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2039
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2040
2041
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2042
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2043
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2044
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2045
(John Arbash Meinel)
2046
2047
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2048
functionality for testing.
2049
2050
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2051
2052
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2053
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2054
2055
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2056
2057
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2058
(Robert Collins)
2059
2060
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2061
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2062
2063
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2064
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2065
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2066
2067
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2068
(Aaron Bentley)
2069
2070
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2071
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2072
2073
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2074
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2075
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2076
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2077
2078
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2079
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2080
2081
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2082
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2083
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2084
2085
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2086
(Marius Kruger)
2087
2088
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2089
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2090
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2091
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2092
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
2093
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2094
2095
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
2096
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
2097
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
2098
many files. (Robert Collins)
2099
2100
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
2101
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
2102
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
2103
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
2104
2105
TESTING:
2106
2107
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
2108
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
2109
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
2110
2111
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
2112
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
2113
2114
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
2115
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
2116
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

2120
--------------------
2121
2122
BUGFIXES:
2123
2124
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
2125
2126
2127
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
2128
-----------------------
2129
2130
BUGFIXES:
2131
2132
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
2133
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
2134
2135
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
2136
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
2137
(James Westby, #122656)
2138
2139
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
2140
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
2141
2142
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
2143
authentication header.
2144
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
2145
2146
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
2147
2148
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
2149
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
2150
2151
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
2152
2153
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
2154
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
2155
2156
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
2157
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
2158
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
2159
2160
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
2161
individually and as part of revision ranges.
2162
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
2163
2164
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
2165
(Martin Pool, #109169)
2166
2167
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
2168
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
2169
2170
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
2171
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
2172
2173
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2174
2175
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
2176
2177
IMPROVEMENTS:
2178
2179
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
2180
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
2181
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
2182
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
2183
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
2184
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
2185
2186
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
2187
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
2188
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
2189
2190
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
2191
(Elliot Murphy)
2192
2193
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
2194
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
2195
2196
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
2197
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
2198
2199
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
2200
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
2201
2202
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
2203
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
2204
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
2205
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
2206
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
2207
2208
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
2209
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
2210
2211
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
2212
can be slow it is useful feedback).
2213
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
2214
2215
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
2216
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
2217
2218
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
2219
2220
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
2221
output. (Aaron Bentley)
2222
2223
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
2224
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
2225
(Robert Collins)
2226
2227
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
2228
(Martin Pool)
2229
2230
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
2231
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
2232
2233
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
2234
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
2235
2236
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
2237
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
2238
2239
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
2240
2241
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
2242
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
2243
2244
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
2245
(Andrew Bennetts)
2246
2247
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2248
2249
* Testing cleanups -
2250
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2251
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
2252
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2253
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
2254
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2255
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
2256
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2257
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
2258
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2259
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
2260
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
2261
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
2262
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2263
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
2264
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2265
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
2266
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
2267
(Robert Collins)
2268
2269
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
2270
2271
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
2272
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
2273
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
2274
2275
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
2276
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
2277
2278
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
2279
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2280
2281
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
2282
2283
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
2284
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
2285
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
2286
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
2287
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
2288
same location. (Robert Collins)
2289
2290
INTERNALS:
2291
2292
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
2293
2294
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
2295
2296
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
2297
2298
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
2299
(Martin Pool)
2300
2301
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
2302
(Martin Pool)
2303
2304
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
2305
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
2306
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
2307
2308
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
2309
2310
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
2311
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
2312
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
2313
2314
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
2315
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
2316
2317
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
2318
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
2319
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
2320
2321
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
2322
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
2323
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
2324
2325
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
2326
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
2327
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
2328
2329
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
2330
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
2331
Martin Pool)
2332
2333
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
2334
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
2335
2336
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
2337
(Alexander Belchenko)
2338
2339
TESTING:
2340
2341
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
2342
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
2343
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
2344
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2345
2346
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
2347
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
2348
testing. (Robert Collins)
2349
2350
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
2351
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
2352
2353
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
2354
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
2355
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
2356
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
2357
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
2358
attribute during the test parameterisation in
2359
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
2360
2361
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
2362
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
2363
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
2364
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
2365
2366
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
2367
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
2368
2369
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
2370
avoid useless cloning.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2390
2391
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
2392
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
2393
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
2394
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
2395
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
2396
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
2397
and unlock() like so::
2398
2399
work_tree.lock_read()
2400
try:
2401
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
2402
finally:
2403
work_tree.unlock()
2404
2405
INTERNALS:
2406
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
2407
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
2408
object.
2409
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
2410
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
2411
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
2412
2413
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2414
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2415
too. (Robert Collins)
2416
2417
IMPROVEMENTS:
2418
2419
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
2420
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
2421
Aaron Bentley)
2422
2423
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
2424
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
2425
2426
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
2427
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
2428
2429
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
2430
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
2431
understanding what changes have occurred
2432
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
2433
2434
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
2435
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
2436
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2437
2438
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
2439
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
2440
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
2441
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2442
2443
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2444
#56322)
2445
2446
BUGFIXES:
2447
2448
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
2449
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
2450
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
2451
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
2452
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
2453
2454
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2455
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2456
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2457
2458
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
2459
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
2460
2461
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
2462
into account.
2463
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2464
2465
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2466
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2467
2468
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2469
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2470
2471
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2472
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2473
2474
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2475
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2476
2477
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2478
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2479
2480
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2481
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2482
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

2485
--------------------
2486
2487
BUGFIXES:
2488
2489
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2490
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2491
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2492
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2493
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2494
2495
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2496
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2497
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2498
2499
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2500
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2501
2502
IMPROVEMENTS:
2503
2504
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2505
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2506
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2507
2508
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2509
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2510
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2511
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

2514
-----------------------
2515
2516
BUGFIXES:
2517
2518
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2519
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2520
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2521
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2522
2523
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2524
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2525
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
2526
2527
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2528
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
2529
2530
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
2531
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
2532
2533
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
2534
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

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

* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2778
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2779
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2780
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2781
Arbash Meinel)
2782
2783
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2784
2785
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2786
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2787
2788
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2789
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2790
2791
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2792
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2793
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2794
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2795
security hole.
2796
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2797
2798
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2799
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2800
2801
TESTING:
2802
2803
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2804
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2805
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2806
2807
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2808
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2809
2810
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2811
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2812
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2813
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2814
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2815
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2816
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2817
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2818
2819
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2820
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2821
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2822
2823
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2824
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2825
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2826
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2827
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2828
access.
2829
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2830
2831
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2832
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2833
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2834
2835
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2836
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

2845
(Aaron Bentley)
2846

-----------------------
2853
2854
CHANGES:
2855
2856
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2857
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2858
(Martin Pool)
2859
2860
IMPROVEMENTS:
2861
2862
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2863
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2864
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2865
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2866
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
2867
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
2868
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
2869
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
2870
path. (vila)
2871
2872
INTERNALS:
2873
2874
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
2875
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
2876
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
2877
2878
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
2879
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
2880
(Martin Pool)
2881
2882
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
2883
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
2884
(John Arbash Meinel)
2885
2886
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
2887
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
2888
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
2889
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
2890
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
2891
2892
BUGFIXES:
2893
2894
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
2895
(vila, #92195)
2896
2897
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
2898
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
2899
2900
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
2901
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
2902
2903
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
2904
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
2905
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
2906
2907
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
2908
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
2909
2910
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
2911
last-changed-revision for directories. The
2912
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
2913
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
2914
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
2915
2916
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
2917
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
2918
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
2919
2920
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
2924
-----------------------
2925
2926
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2927
2928
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
2929
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
2930
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
2931
2932
IMPROVEMENTS:
2933
2934
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
2935
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
2936
2937
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
2938
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
2939
2940
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2941
2942
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
2943
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
2944
2945
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
2946
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
2947
2948
INTERNALS:
2949
2950
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
2951
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
2952
2953
BUGFIXES:
2954
2955
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
2956
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
2957
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
2958
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2959
2960
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
2961
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
2962
2963
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
2964
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
2965
2966
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
2967
(Marien Zwart)
2968
2969
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
2970
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)

2973
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
2974
-----------------------
2975
2976
SURPRISES:
2977
2978
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
2979
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
2980
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
2981
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
2982
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
2983
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
2984
2985
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
2986
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
2987
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
2988
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
2989
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
2990
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
2991
development.
2992
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2993
2994
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
2995
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
2996
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
2997
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
2998
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
2999
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
3000
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
3001
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3002
3003
IMPROVEMENTS:
3004
3005
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3006
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3007
3008
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
3009
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
3010
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
3011
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
3012
does exist.
3013
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
3014
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
3015
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
3016
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
3017
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
3018
3019
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
3020
(Aaron Bentley)
3021
3022
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3023
(Aaron Bentley)
3024
3025
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3026
(Robert Collins)
3027
3028
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3029
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3030
(Aaron Bentley)
3031
3032
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3033
(Aaron Bentley)
3034
3035
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3036
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3037
3038
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3039
directory. (Martin Pool)
3040
3041
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3042
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3043
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3044
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3045
3046
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3047
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3048
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3049
in docs/configuration.txt.
3050
3051
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3052
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
3053
bind location.
3054
3055
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
3056
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
3057
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
3058
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
3059
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
3060
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3061
3062
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3063
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3064
3065
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3066
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3067
3068
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
3069
(Aaron Bentley)
3070
3071
INTERNALS:
3072
3073
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
3074
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
3075
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
3076
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
3077
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
3078
(John Arbash Meinel)
3079
3080
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
3081
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
3082
(Aaron Bentley)
3083
3084
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
3085
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
3086
(John Arbash Meinel)
3087
3088
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
3089
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
3090
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
3091
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
3092
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
3093
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
3094
3095
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
3096
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
3097
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
3098
3099
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
3100
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
3101
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
3102
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
3103
repository.
3104
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3105
3106
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
3107
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
3108
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
3109
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
3110
3111
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
3112
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
3113
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
3114
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
3115
3116
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
3117
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
3118
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
3119
3120
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
3121
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
3122
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
3123
3124
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
3125
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
3126
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
3127
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
3128
3129
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
3130
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
3131
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
3132
3133
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
3134
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
3135
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
3136
3137
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
3138
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
3139
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
3140
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
3141
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
3142
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
3143
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
3144
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
3145
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
3146
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
3147
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
3148
3149
BUGFIXES:
3150
3151
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
3152
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
3153
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
3154
3155
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
3156
(Aaron Bentley)
3157
3158
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
3159
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
3160
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
3161
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
3162
3163
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
3164
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
3165
#83954).
3166
3167
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
3168
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
3169
3170
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
3171
3172
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
3173
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
3174
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
3175
3176
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
3177
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
3178
3179
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
3180
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
3181
3182
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
3183
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
3184
3185
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
3186
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
3187
3188
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
3189
3190
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
3191
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
3192
3193
TESTING:
3194
3195
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
3196
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

3204
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
3205
3206
BUG FIXES:
3207
3208
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
3209
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
3210
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
3211
3212
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
3213
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
3214
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
3218
-----------------------
3219
3220
IMPROVEMENTS:
3221
3222
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
3223
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
3224
server, then you can write over the http connection.
3225
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3226
3227
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
3228
(Marius Kruger)
3229
3230
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
3231
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
3232
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3233
3234
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
3235
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
3236
3237
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
3238
(Aaron Bentley)
3239
3240
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
3241
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
3242
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
3243
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
3244
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
3245
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
3246
3247
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
3248
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
3249
should enable you to do::
3250
3251
[/home/user/project]
3252
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
3253
push_location:policy = appendpath
3254
3255
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
3256
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
3257
(James Henstridge)
3258
3259
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
3260
for each file. For example::
3261
3262
$ bzr status --short
3263
A foo
3264
A bar
3265
D baz
3266
? wooley
3267
3268
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
3269
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
3270
3271
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
3272
3273
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
3274
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
3275
3276
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
3277
3278
INTERNALS:
3279
3280
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
3281
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
3282
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
3283
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
3284
3285
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
3286
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
3287
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
3288
3289
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3290
3291
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
3292
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
3293
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
3294
(Alexander Belchenko)
3295
3296
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
3297
Pool)
3298
3299
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
3300
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
3301
3302
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
3303
3304
BUG FIXES:
3305
3306
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
3307
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
3308
3309
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
3310
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
3311
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
3312
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
3313
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
3314
3315
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
3316
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
3317
3318
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
3319
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
3320
3321
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
3322
matcher.
3323
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
3324
3325
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
3326
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
3327
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
3328
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
3329
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
3330
3331
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
3332
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
3333
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
3334
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
3335
3336
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
3337
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
3338
3339
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
3340
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
3341
3342
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
3343
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
3344
3345
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

3357
IMPROVEMENTS:
3358
3359
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
3360
tree from a branch.
3361
(Daniel Silverstone)
3362
3363
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
3364
operations are substantially faster.
3365
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
3366
3367
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
3368
tree from some other url. For example:
3369
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
3370
(Daniel Silverstone)
3371
3372
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
3373
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
3374
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
3375
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
3376
3377
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
3378
(Andrew Bennetts)
3379
3380
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
3381
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
3382
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
3383
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
3384
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
3385
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
3386
3387
INTERNALS:
3388
3389
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
3390
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
3391
(Martin Pool)
3392
3393
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3394
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3395
(John Arbash Meinel)
3396
3397
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
3398
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
3399
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
3400
(John Arbash Meinel)
3401
3402
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
3403
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3404
3405
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3406
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3407
3408
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3409
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3410
Bennetts)
3411
3412
BUG FIXES:
3413
3414
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
3415
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
3416
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
3417
3418
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
3419
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
3420
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
3421
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
3422
3423
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3424
3425
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3426
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3427
3428
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3429
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3430
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
3431
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3432
3433
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3434
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3435
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3436
3437
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3438
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3439
them as full references rather than integers.
3440
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3441
3442
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3443
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3444
3445
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3446
3447
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3448
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3449
3450
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3451
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3452
3453
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3454
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3455
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3456
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3457
3458
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3459
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3460
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3461
3462
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3463
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3464
3465
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3466
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3467
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3468
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3469
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3470
3471
TESTING:
3472
3473
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3474
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

3477
--------------------
3478
3479
INTERNALS:
3480
3481
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3482
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3483
(John Arbash Meinel)
3484
3485
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
3486
-----------------------
3487
3488
IMPROVEMENTS:
3489
3490
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3491
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3492
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3493
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3494
3495
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3496
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3497
3498
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3499
3500
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3501
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3502
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3503
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3504
3505
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3506
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3507
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3508
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3509
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3510
3511
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3512
3513
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3514
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3515
3516
INTERNALS:
3517
3518
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3519
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3520
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3521
3522
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3523
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3524
(John Arbash Meinel)
3525
3526
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3527
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3528
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3529
3530
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3531
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3532
(Aaron Bentley)
3533
3534
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3535
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3536
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3537
3538
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3539
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3540
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3541
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3542
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3543
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3544
3545
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3546
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3547
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3548
(Robert Collins)
3549
3550
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3551
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3552
3553
BUG FIXES:
3554
3555
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3556
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3557
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3558
#63360, #66349)
3559
3560
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3561
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3562
3563
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3564
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3565
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3566
3567
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3568
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3569
3570
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3571
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3572
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3573
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3574
3575
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3576
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3577
3578
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3579
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3580
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3581
3582
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3583
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3584
3585
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3586
3587
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3588
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3589
#32054)
3590
3591
TESTING:
3592
3593
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3594
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3595
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3596
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3597
3598
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3599
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3600
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3601
3602
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).

3617
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
3618
-----------------------
3619
3620
IMPROVEMENTS:
3621
3622
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3623
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3624
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3625
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3626
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3627
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3628
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3629
3630
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3631
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3632
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3633
3634
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3635
3636
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3637
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3638
3639
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3640
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3641
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3642
(Robert Collins)
3643
3644
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3645
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3646
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3647
(John Arbash Meinel)
3648
3649
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3650
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3651
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3652
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3653
Pool)
3654
3655
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3656
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3657
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
3658
(John Arbash Meinel)
3659
3660
BUG FIXES:
3661
3662
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
3663
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
3664
3665
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3666
3667
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3668
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3669
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
3670
3671
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3672
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
3673
3674
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3675
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3676
3677
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3678
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3679
3680
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.

* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3684
3685
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3686
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3687
3688
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3689
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3690
3691
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3692
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3693
3694
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3695
(John Arbash Meinel)
3696
3697
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3698
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3699
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3700
3701
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3702
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3703
3704
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3705
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3706
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3707
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3708
3709
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3710
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3711
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
3712
3713
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
3714
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
3715
3716
PORTABILITY:
3717
3718
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3719
3720
INTERNALS:
3721
3722
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3723
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3724
(John Arbash Meinel)
3725
3726
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3727
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3728
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3729
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3730
3731
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3732
(Andrew Bennetts)
3733
3734
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3735
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3736
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3737
3738
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3739
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3740
3741
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3742
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3743
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3744
3745
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3746
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3747
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3748
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3749
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3750
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3751
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3752
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3753
caller to repeat their request.
3754
(John Arbash Meinel)
3755
3756
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3757
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3758
3759
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3760
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3761
3762
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3763
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3764
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3765
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3766
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3767
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3768
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3769
3770
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3771
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3772
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3773
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3774
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3775
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3776
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3777
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3778
(Robert Collins)
3779
3780
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3781
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3782
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3783
3784
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3785
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3786
3787
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3788
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3789
3790
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3791
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3792
3793
TESTING:
3794
3795
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3796
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3797
3798
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3799
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3800
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3801
3802
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3803
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3804
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3805
3806
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
3807
--------------------
3808
3809
IMPROVEMENTS:
3810
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3811
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3812
3813
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3814
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3815
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3816
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3817
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3818
3819
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3820
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3821
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3822
3823
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3824
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3825
3826
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3827
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3828
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3829
3830
BUG FIXES:
3831
3832
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3833
3834
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3835
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
3836
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
3837
3838
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
3839
3840
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
3841
3842
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
3843
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
3844
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
3845
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
3846
3847
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
3848
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
3849
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
3850
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
3851
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
3852
3853
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
3854
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
3855
3856
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
3857
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
3858
3859
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
3860
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
3861
3862
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
3863
in handling of revision properties.
3864
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
3865
3866
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
3867
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
3868
3869
INTERNALS:
3870
3871
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
3872
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
3873
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
3874
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
3875
(John Arbash Meinel)
3876
3877
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
3878
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
3879
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3880
3881
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
3882
---------------------
3883
3884
SURPRISES:
3885
3886
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
3887
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
3888
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
3889
specific one '.bzrignore'.
3890
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
3891
a more conservative list than the old default.
3892
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
3893
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
3894
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
3895
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
3896
3897
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
3898
to more locations than just branch locations.
3899
(Aaron Bentley)
3900
3901
IMPROVEMENTS:
3902
3903
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
3904
revno:N:branch. For example,
3905
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
3906
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
3907
3908
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
3909
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
3910
the path of a file that has been versioned.
3911
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
3912
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
3913
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
3914
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
3915
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
3916
#42517, #42514)
3917
3918
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
3919
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
3920
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
3921
(Malone #3507)
3922
3923
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
3924
(Alexander Belchenko)
3925
3926
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
3927
3928
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
3929
(Robert Collins).
3930
3931
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
3932
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
3933
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
3934
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
3935
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
3936
(John Arbash Meinel)
3937
3938
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
3939
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
3940
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
3941
grained analysis of performance.
3942
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3943
3944
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
3945
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
3946
3947
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
3948
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
3949
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
3950
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
3951
file. (Robert Collins).
3952
3953
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
3954
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
3955
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
3956
3957
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
3958
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
3959
Matthieu Moy)
3960
3961
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
3962
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
3963
3964
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
3965
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
3966
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
3967
the same way you would apply another branch.
3968
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3969
3970
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
3971
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
3972
3973
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
3974
(Michael Ellerman)
3975
3976
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
3977
(Aaron Bentley)
3978
3979
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
3980
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
3981
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
3982
3983
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
3984
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
3985
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
3986
3987
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
3988
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
3989
3990
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
3991
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
3992
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
3993
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
3994
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
3995
3996
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
3997
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
3998
3999
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
4000
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
4001
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
4002
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
4003
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
4004
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
4005
branch is as much as 4x faster.
4006
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
4007
4008
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
4009
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
4010
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
4011
4012
BUG FIXES:
4013
4014
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4015
tests not to run.
4016
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4017
4018
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4019
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4020
4021
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4022
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4023
4024
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4025
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4026
4027
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4028
4029
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4030
(John Arbash Meinel)
4031
4032
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4033
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4034
4035
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4036
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4037
and y.
4038
4039
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4040
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4041
4042
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4043
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4044
4045
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4046
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4047
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4048
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4049
4050
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4051
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4052
4053
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4054
4055
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4056
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4057
4058
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4059
4060
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4061
4062
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4063
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4064
4065
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4066
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4067
4068
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4069
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4070
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4071
4072
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4073
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4074
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4075
4076
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4077
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4078
4079
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4080
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4081
4082
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4083
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4084
4085
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4086
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4087
4088
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4089
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
4090
4091
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
4092
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
4093
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
4094
4095
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
4096
4097
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
4098
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
4099
4100
INTERNALS:
4101
4102
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
4103
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
4104
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
4105
4106
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
4107
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
4108
4109
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
4110
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
4111
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4112
4113
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
4114
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4115
4116
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
4117
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
4118
(Martin Pool)
4119
4120
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
4121
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
4122
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4123
4124
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
4125
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
4126
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4127
4128
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
4129
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
4130
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
4131
4132
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
4133
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
4134
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
4135
4136
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
4137
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
4138
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
4139
4140
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
4141
instead. (Robert Collins)
4142
4143
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

4161
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4162
4163
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
4164
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

CHANGES:
4177
4178
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
4179
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
4180

4181
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
4182
4183
NEW FEATURES:
4184
4185
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
4186

4200
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
4201
-------------------
4202
4203
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4204
4205
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
4206
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
4207
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
4208
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
4209
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
4210
will keep the same format.
4211
4212
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
4213
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
4214
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
4215
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
4216
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
4217
4218
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
4219
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
4220
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
4221
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
4222
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
4223
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
4224
indicating the current revision of the branch.
4225
4226
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
4227
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
4228
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
4229
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
4230
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
4231
4232
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
4233
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
4234
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
4235
arrangement.
4236
4237
4238
IMPROVEMENTS:
4239
4240
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
4241
convention. Paths now take the form::
4242
4243
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
4244
or
4245
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
4246
4247
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
4248
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
4249
4250
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
4251
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
4252
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
4253
4254
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
4255
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
4256
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
4257
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
4258
4259
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
4260
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
4261
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
4262
4263
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
4264
4265
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
4266
4267
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
4268
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
4269
commits::
4270
4271
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
4272
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
4273
| xargs bzr re-sign
4274
4275
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
4276
4277
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
4278
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
4279
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
4280
(Robert Collins)
4281
4282
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
4283
4284
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
4285
4286
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
4287
'.moved'.
4288
4289
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
4290
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
4291
4292
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
4293
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
4294
Daniel Silverstone)
4295
4296
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
4297
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
4298
Martin Pool)
4299
4300
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
4301
4302
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
4303
4304
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
4305
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
4306
4307
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
4308
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
4309
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
4310
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
4311
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
4312
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
4313
4314
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
4315
4316
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
4317
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
4318
(Robert Collins)
4319
4320
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
4321
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
4322
4323
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
4324
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
4325
4326
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
4327
4328
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
4329
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
4330
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
4331
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
4332
specification by Martin Pool.
4333
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
4334
4335
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
4336
Belchenko)
4337
4338
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
4339
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4340
4341
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
4342
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
4343
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
4344
4345
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
4346
4347
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
4348
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
4349
(Robert Collins)
4350
4351
CHANGES:
4352
4353
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
4354
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4355
4356
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
4357
4358
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
4359
4360
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
4361
(Olaf Conradi)
4362
4363
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
4364
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
4365
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
4366
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
4367
4368
INTERNALS:
4369
4370
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
4371
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
4372
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
4373
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4374
4375
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
4376
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
4377
tried. (Martin Pool)
4378
4379
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
4380
(Martin Pool)
4381
4382
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
4383
4384
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
4385
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
4386
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
4387
4388
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
4389
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
4390
4391
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
4392
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
4393
paths. (Robert Collins)
4394
4395
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
4396
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
4397
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
4398
4399
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
4400
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
4401
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
4402
4403
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4404
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4405
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4406
4407
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4408
(Olaf Conradi)
4409
4410
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4411
(Olaf Conradi)
4412
4413
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4414
4415
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4416
4417
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
4418
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
4419
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
4420
(Robert Collins)
4421
4422
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4423
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4424
4425
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
4426
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
4427
check. (Robert Collins)
4428
4429
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4430
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4431
4432
TESTING:
4433
4434
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4435
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4436
4437
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4438
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4439
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4440
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4441
4442
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4443
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4444
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4445
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4446
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4447
4448
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4449
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4450
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4451
4452
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4453
4454
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4455
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
4456
4457
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
4458
------------------
4459
4460
CHANGES:
4461
4462
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4463
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4464
4465
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4466
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4467
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4468
(Johan Rydberg)
4469
4470
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4471
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4472
4473
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4474
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4475
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4476
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4477
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4478
4479
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4480
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4481
used. (Robert Collins)
4482
4483
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4484
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4485
(James Henstridge)
4486
4487
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4488
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4489
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4490
4491
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4492
ignore list.
4493
4494
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4495
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4496
4497
IMPROVEMENTS:
4498
4499
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4500
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4501
4502
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4503
4504
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4505
4506
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4507
tree. (Robert Collins)
4508
4509
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4510
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4511
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4512
(Robert Collins)
4513
4514
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4515
that they be kept.
4516
4517
* Tweaks to short log printing
4518
4519
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4520
(Aaron Bentley)
4521
4522
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4523
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4524
4525
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4526
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4527
4528
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4529
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4530
4531
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
4532
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4533
settings. (Magnus Therning)
4534
4535
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
4536
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4537
4538
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4539
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4540
requests.
4541
4542
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4543
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4544
4545
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
4546
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
4547
4548
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
4549
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
4550
4551
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
4552
(Denys Duchier)
4553
4554
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
4555
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4556
4557
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4558
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4559
4560
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4561
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4562
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
4563
4564
BUG FIXES:
4565
4566
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
4567
4568
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4569
4570
* Error when run with -OO
4571
4572
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
4573
(Martin Pool)
4574
4575
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4576
4577
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4578
4579
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4580
ignored by diff and status
4581
4582
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4583
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
4584
4585
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
4586
4587
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4588
4589
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4590
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4591
4592
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4593
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4594
4595
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4596
(Harald Meland)
4597
4598
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4599
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4600
4601
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4602
4603
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4604
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4605
4606
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4607
(Martin Pool)
4608
4609
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4610
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4611
4612
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4613
4614
TESTING:
4615
4616
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4617
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4618
4619
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4620
4621
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4622
4623
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4624
4625
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4626
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4627
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4628
4629
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4630
4631
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4632
(John Arbash Meinel)
4633
4634
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4635
4636
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4637
If adding a new test script please add that to
4638
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4639
4640
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4641
imported. (Martin Pool)
4642
4643
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4644
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4645
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4646
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4647
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4648
(Robert Collins)
4649
4650
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4651
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4652
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4653
4654
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4655
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4656
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4657
4658
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4659
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4660
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4661
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4662
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4663
(Robert Collins).
4664
4665
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4666
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4667
(Robert Collins).
4668
4669
INTERNALS:
4670
4671
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4672
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4673
4674
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4675
function. (Robert Collins)
4676
4677
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4678
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4679
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4680
4681
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4682
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4683
(Robert Collins)
4684
4685
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4686
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4687
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4688
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4689
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4690
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4691
version. (Robert Collins)
4692
4693
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4694
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4695
4696
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4697
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4698
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4699
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4700
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4701
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4702
4703
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4704
(Robert Collins)
4705
4706
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4707
4708
add()
4709
commit()
4710
move()
4711
rename_one()
4712
unknowns()
4713
4714
(Robert Collins)
4715
4716
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4717
4718
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4719
4720
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4721
Pool)
4722
4723
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4724
query method. (Robert Collins)
4725
4726
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4727
(Denys Duchier)
4728
4729
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4730
(Michael Ellerman)
4731
4732
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4733
(Michael Ellerman)
4734
4735
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4736
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4737
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4738
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4739
4740
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4741
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4742
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4743
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4744
4745
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4746
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

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

4960
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
4961
--------------------
4962
4963
BUG FIXES:
4964
4965
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
4966
allow directories to be listed.
4967
4968
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
4969
upgrading branch format.
4970
4971
PERFORMANCE:
4972
4973
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

4976
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
4977
------------------
4978
4979
NOTES:
4980
4981
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
4982
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
4983
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
4984
high-latency connections.
4985
4986
BUG FIXES:
4987
4988
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
4989
Rob Weir.
4990
4991
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
4992
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
4993
4994
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
4995
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
4996
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
4997
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4998
4999
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5000
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5001
5002
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5003
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5004
5005
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
5006
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
5007
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5008
5009
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
5010
for files with only a change to their executable status.
5011
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
5012
Robert Collins
5013
5014
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5015
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5016
5017
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5018
different partial views of history.
5019
5020
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5021
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5022
5023
IMPROVEMENTS:
5024
5025
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5026
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5027
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5028
5029
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5030
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5031
'bzr upgrade'.
5032
5033
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5034
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5035
5036
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5037
Niemeyer.
5038
5039
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5040
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5041
5042
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5043
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5044
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5045
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5046
5047
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5048
5049
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5050
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5051
Gustavo Niemeyer.
5052
5053
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5054
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5055
5056
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5057
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5058
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5059
5060
5061
INTERNALS:
5062
5063
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5064
for your viewing pleasure.

* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5067
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5068
5069
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5070
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5071
handling of such circumstances.
5072
5073
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
5074
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
5075
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
5076
5077
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5078
5079
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5080
we call them revisions not patches.
5081
5082
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5083
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5084
5085
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
5086
giving the revision *of that file*.
5087
5088
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
5089
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
5090
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
5091
5092
TESTING:
5093
5094
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
5095
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
5096
5097
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
5098
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
5099

5101
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
5102
--------------------
5103
5104
BUG FIXES:
5105
5106
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
5107
5108
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
5109
(Robert Collins).
5110
5111
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
5112
5113
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
5114
5115
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
5116
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5117
5118
IMPROVEMENTS:
5119
5120
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
5121
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
5122
5123
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
5124
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
5125
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
5126
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
5127
Robey Pointer
5128
5129
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
5130
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5131
5132
INTERNALS:
5133
5134
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
5135
5136
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
5137
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
5138
5139
5140
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
5141
--------------------
5142
5143
IMPROVEMENTS:
5144
5145
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
5146
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
5147
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
5148
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
5149
Michael Ellerman.
5150
5151
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
5152
(Nir Soffer)
5153
5154
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
5155
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
5156
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
5157
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
5158
for the operating system is still tried.
5159
5160
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
5161
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
5162
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
5163
5164
5165
INTERNALS:
5166
5167
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
5168
5169
BUG FIXES:
5170
5171
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
5172
5173
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
5174
branch.
5175
5176
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
5177
read.
5178
5179
5180
PORTABILITY:
5181
5182
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
5183
5184
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
5185
5186
5187
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
5188
--------------------
5189
5190
NEW FEATURES:
5191
5192
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
5193
help with intelligent shell completion.
5194
5195
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
5196
5197
5198
ENHANCEMENTS:
5199
5200
* Much better merge support.
5201
5202
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
5203
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
5204
like emacs smerge.
5205
5206
5207
BUG FIXES:
5208
5209
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
5210
mention revisions that are not present.
5211
5212
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
5213
5214
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
5215
5216
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
5217
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
5218
5219
5220
CHANGES:
5221
5222
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
5223
5224
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
5225
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
5226
--help themselves.
5227
5228
5229
LIBRARY:
5230
5231
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
5232
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
5233
libraries.
5234
5235
5236
5237
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
5238
--------------------
5239
5240
NEW FEATURES:
5241
5242
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
5243
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
5244
5245
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
5246
5247
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
5248
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
5249
5250
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
5251
FOO.
5252
5253
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
5254
5255
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
5256
the Unix command.
5257
5258
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
5259
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
5260
5261
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
5262
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
5263
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
5264
5265
5266
ENHANCEMENTS:
5267
5268
* Faster working tree operations.
5269
5270
5271
CHANGES:
5272
5273
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
5274
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
5275
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
5276
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
5277
5278
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
5279
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
5280
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
5281
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
5282
standard plugins directory.
5283
5284
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
5285
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
5286
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
5287
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
5288
5289
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
5290
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
5291
5292
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
5293
disk.
5294
5295
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
5296
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
5297
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
5298
5299
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
5300
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
5301
5302
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
5303
line options must come before the command name because they
5304
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
5305
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
5306
it.
5307
5308
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
5309
5310
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
5311
is available with ``--short``.
5312
5313
5314
BUG FIXES:
5315
5316
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
5317
5318
5319
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
5320
---------------------
5321
5322
CHANGES:
5323
5324
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
5325
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5326
5327
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
5328
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
5329
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
5330
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
5331
5332
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
5333
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
5334
with the ``--forward`` option.
5335
5336
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
5337
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
5338
field.
5339
5340
5341
ENHANCEMENTS:
5342
5343
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
5344
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
5345
5346
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
5347
5348
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
5349
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
5350
5351
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
5352
5353
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
5354
either read or write mode.
5355
5356
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
5357
5358
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
5359
affected that file.
5360
5361
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
5362
5363
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
5364
suggested by LarstiQ.
5365
5366
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
5367
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
5368
5369
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
5370
a filename.
5371
5372
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
5373
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
5374
5375
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
5376
haven't changed since the previous time.
5377
5378
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
5379
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
5380
5381
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
5382
5383
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
5384
5385
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
5386
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
5387
5388
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
5389
options through to an external GNU diff.
5390
5391
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
5392
their contents.
5393
5394
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
5395
from a branch.
5396
5397
5398
BUG FIXES:
5399
5400
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
5401
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
5402
5403
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
5404
metacharacters.
5405
5406
5407
TESTING:
5408
5409
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
5410
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
5411
the tests.
5412
5413
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
5414
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
5415
5416
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
5417
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
5418
5419
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
5420
under a different version.
5421
5422
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
5423
5424
5425
INTERNAL:
5426
5427
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
5428
5429
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
5430
Scott James Remnant.
5431
5432
* Better help messages for many commands.
5433
5434
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
5435
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
5436
5437
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
5438
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
5439
5440
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
5441
5442
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
5443
5444
* New AtomicFile class.
5445
5446
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
5447
5448
5449
PORTABILITY:
5450
5451
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
5452
2.4 is now only recommended.
5453
5454
5455
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
5456
---------------------
5457
5458
ENHANCEMENTS:
5459
5460
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
5461
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
5462
5463
* More default ignore patterns.
5464
5465
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
5466
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
5467
5468
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
5469
5470
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
5471
by Jason Diamon.
5472
5473
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
5474
5475
5476
CHANGES:
5477
5478
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
5479
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
5480
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
5481
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
5482
there are DNS problems.
5483
5484
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
5485
5486
5487
BUG FIXES:
5488
5489
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
5490
5491
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
5492
5493
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
5494
trailing newlines properly.
5495
5496
5497
INTERNAL:
5498
5499
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
5500
Matt Brubeck.
5501
5502
* More tests in test.sh.
5503
5504
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
5505
directory and delete it when done.
5506
5507
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
5508
5509
5510
PORTABILITY:
5511
5512
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
5513
Bennetts.
5514
5515
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
5516
from QuantumG.

5518
5519
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
5520
---------------------
5521
5522
ENHANCEMENTS:
5523
5524
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
5525
in the tree.
5526
5527
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
5528
5529
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
5530
and/or directory.
5531
5532
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
5533
directory.
5534
5535
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
5536
5537
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
5538
5539
CHANGES:
5540
5541
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
5542
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
5543
will do for now.)
5544
5545
PORTABILITY:
5546
5547
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
5548
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
5549
Nielsen.
5550
5551
INTERNAL:
5552
5553
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
5554
5555
TESTING:
5556
5557
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.

bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
5569
-----------------------------------
5570
5571
ENHANCEMENTS:
5572
5573
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
5574
5575
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
5576
rather than replacing it.
5577
5578
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
5579
5580
* More help topics.
5581
5582
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
5583
branch.
5584
5585
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
5586
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
5587
5588
* Performance improvements.
5589
5590
* New global --profile option.
5591
5592
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
5593
the root directory only.
5594
5595
5596
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
5597

5598
5599
ENHANCEMENTS:
5600
5601
* More information from info command.
5602
5603
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
5604
5605
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
5606
committing to stores.
5607
5608
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
5609
5610
BUG FIXES:
5611
5612
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
5613
5614
PORTABILITY:
5615
5616
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
5617
installation easier.
5618
5619
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
5620
supported).
