15
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
17
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
18
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
19
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
20
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
21
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
22
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
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)
32
* Added mail-mode GNU Emacs mail package as a mail_client.
33
(Xavier Maillard, Bojan Nikolic)
37
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
38
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
40
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
41
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
42
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
45
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
48
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
49
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
50
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
52
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
55
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
56
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
58
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
59
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
61
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
62
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
63
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
65
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
66
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
67
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
68
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
69
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
71
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
72
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
76
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
77
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
78
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
79
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
80
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
81
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
83
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
84
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
86
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
87
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
88
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
90
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
91
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
93
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
95
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
97
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
98
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
102
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
104
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
106
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
110
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
111
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
112
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
114
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
115
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
116
release. (James Westby)
118
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
119
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
121
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
122
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
124
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
125
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
127
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
128
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
129
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
131
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
132
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
134
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
135
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
138
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
139
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
141
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
142
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
146
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
147
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
148
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
149
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
151
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
152
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
153
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
154
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
158
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
159
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
162
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
163
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
164
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
168
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
169
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)
175
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
177
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
178
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
179
features have been added.
183
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
185
(#202778, Martin Pool)
188
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-03-16
189
---------------------
191
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
193
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
194
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
198
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
199
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
200
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
201
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
204
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
205
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
206
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
207
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
208
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
209
(Alexander Belchenko)
211
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
212
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
213
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
214
(Alexander Belchenko)
216
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
218
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
219
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
223
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
224
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
226
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
227
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
232
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
234
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
236
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
237
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
238
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
240
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
241
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
243
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
246
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
247
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
248
(Alexander Belchenko)
250
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
251
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
252
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
253
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
255
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
258
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
259
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
260
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
261
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
262
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
266
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
267
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
268
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
269
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
271
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
272
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
274
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
275
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
277
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
278
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
279
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
281
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
282
(#198793, John Ferlito)
284
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
287
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
288
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
290
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
292
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
294
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
295
symlinks (James Henstridge)
297
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
298
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
300
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
301
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
303
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
304
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
306
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
307
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
309
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
310
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
314
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
315
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
319
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
320
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
321
(Alexander Belchenko)
325
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
326
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
331
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
332
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
333
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
335
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
336
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
337
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
338
(Alexander Belchenko)
340
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
341
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
342
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
343
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
345
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
346
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
347
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
350
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
351
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
352
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
354
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
355
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
356
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
358
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
359
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
360
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
361
format. (Robert Collins)
369
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
372
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
373
---------------------
375
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
377
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
378
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
379
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
380
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
381
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
386
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
387
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
389
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
390
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
391
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
393
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
394
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
395
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
396
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
397
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
398
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
403
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
404
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
406
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
407
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
408
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
411
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
412
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
413
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
414
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
415
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
417
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
418
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
419
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
420
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
421
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
422
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
423
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
424
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
428
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
429
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
431
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
432
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
434
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
435
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
437
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
438
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
439
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
441
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
442
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
447
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
448
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
450
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
451
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
453
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
454
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
456
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
457
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
458
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
460
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
461
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
462
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
464
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
465
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
467
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
468
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
469
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
470
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
471
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
473
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
475
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
476
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
479
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
480
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
482
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
483
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
485
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
486
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
488
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
489
more characters which should be considered valid.
490
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
492
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
493
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
495
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
496
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
500
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
501
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
503
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
504
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
509
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
510
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
515
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
516
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
517
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
519
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
520
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
521
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
523
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
524
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
525
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
526
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
528
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
530
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
531
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
532
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
533
server. (Robert Collins)
535
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
536
operate. (Robert Collins)
538
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
539
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
540
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
542
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
543
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
544
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
545
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
547
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
548
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
550
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
551
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
552
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
554
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
555
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
557
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
558
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
560
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
561
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
562
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
563
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
569
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
571
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
572
---------------------
576
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
577
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
578
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
579
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
581
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
582
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
583
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
584
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
588
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
591
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
594
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
595
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
599
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
602
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
603
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
604
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
606
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
608
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
609
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
610
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
611
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
612
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
614
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
615
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
616
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
618
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
619
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
621
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
624
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
626
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
628
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
631
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
632
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
636
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
637
(Martin Pool, #180208)
639
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
640
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
642
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
645
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
646
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
648
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
649
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
651
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
652
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
654
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
655
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
657
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
658
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
659
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
661
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
662
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
664
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
665
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
668
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
670
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
671
user:pass embedded in the urls.
672
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
674
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
675
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
677
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
680
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
683
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
684
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
686
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
689
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
690
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
693
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
694
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
695
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
699
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
702
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
703
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
704
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
705
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
706
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
707
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
709
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
713
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
716
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
717
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
719
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
721
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
722
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
723
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
726
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
727
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
729
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
736
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
737
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
738
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
740
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
741
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
744
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
745
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
747
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
748
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
750
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
751
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
753
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
754
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
755
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
757
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
758
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
760
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
761
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
763
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
764
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
767
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
768
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
770
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
771
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
779
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
781
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
784
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
786
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
787
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
791
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
792
---------------------
796
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
797
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
798
by mail to the mailing list.
803
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
805
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
806
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
807
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
808
feedback but also incur more latency.
809
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
811
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
812
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
816
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
818
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
823
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
824
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
825
wraps its output in a StringIO.
829
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
830
---------------------
834
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
836
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
839
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
842
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
843
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
844
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
845
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
847
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
850
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
851
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
853
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
854
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
855
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
857
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
858
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
859
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
860
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
861
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
862
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
863
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
864
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
865
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
869
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
872
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
876
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
877
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
879
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
881
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
883
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
884
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
886
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
888
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
889
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
891
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
892
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
896
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
897
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
900
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
901
---------------------
903
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
905
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
906
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
907
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
908
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
910
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
911
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
913
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
914
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
916
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
917
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
918
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
919
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
920
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
921
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
922
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
923
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
924
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
925
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
926
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
927
from any tree without problems.
928
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
932
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
933
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
934
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
936
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
937
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
938
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
943
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
944
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
945
supported transports.
948
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
949
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
950
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
952
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
953
(Robert Collins, #154173)
955
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
956
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
957
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
958
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
960
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
961
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
965
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
966
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
967
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
968
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
970
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
971
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
972
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
973
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
975
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
976
(Robert Collins, #88319)
978
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
979
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
981
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
982
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
984
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
985
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
990
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
993
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
994
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
997
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
998
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
999
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1000
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1002
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1003
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1004
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1005
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
1011
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
1012
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
1014
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
1015
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
1017
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
1018
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
1020
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
1021
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
1023
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
1024
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
1026
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
1027
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
1029
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
1030
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
1032
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
1035
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
1036
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
1038
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
1039
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
1040
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
1042
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
1043
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
1045
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
1046
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
1048
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
1049
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
1051
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
1052
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
1054
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
1055
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
1056
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
1057
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
1059
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1061
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
1062
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1063
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
1065
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
1066
(Robert Collins, #161240)
1068
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
1070
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1072
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1073
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1075
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1076
specify a port in urls.
1077
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1079
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
1080
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
1082
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
1083
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
1085
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
1086
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
1088
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
1089
(Robert Collins, #153789)
1091
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
1092
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
1093
(Robert Collins, #165304).
1095
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
1097
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
1098
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
1100
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
1103
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
1104
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
1106
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
1107
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
1109
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
1110
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
1111
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
1113
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
1114
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
1116
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
1117
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
1118
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
1119
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
1121
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
1122
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
1124
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
1125
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
1126
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
1128
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
1129
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
1131
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
1132
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
1134
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
1135
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
1139
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
1140
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
1142
* The return value of
1143
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
1144
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
1145
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
1146
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
1148
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
1151
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
1152
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
1158
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
1159
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
1160
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
1163
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
1164
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
1166
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
1176
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
1179
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
1180
----------------------
1182
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1186
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
1187
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
1189
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
1190
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
1191
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
1192
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
1193
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
1194
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
1195
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
1196
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
1197
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
1198
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
1199
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
1200
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
1205
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
1206
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
1207
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
1208
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
1209
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
1210
for further details. (Robert Collins)
1212
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
1213
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
1214
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
1217
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
1219
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
1220
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
1222
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
1223
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
1226
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
1227
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
1228
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
1232
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
1233
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1235
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
1236
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
1238
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
1239
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
1240
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
1241
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
1243
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
1246
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
1247
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
1248
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
1249
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
1251
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
1252
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
1254
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
1255
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1257
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
1258
the contents. (Robert Collins)
1260
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
1261
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
1265
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
1266
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
1268
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
1269
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
1271
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
1272
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
1274
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
1275
(Martin Pool, #63894)
1277
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
1278
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
1282
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
1284
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
1289
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
1290
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
1291
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
1293
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
1294
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
1296
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
1297
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
1299
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
1300
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
1301
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
1302
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
1304
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
1305
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
1306
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
1307
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
1308
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
1310
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
1311
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
1313
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
1315
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1317
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
1318
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
1320
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
1321
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
1323
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
1324
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
1326
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
1327
contains a symbolic link.
1328
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
1330
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
1331
(James Westby, #140615)
1333
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
1334
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
1335
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
1337
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
1338
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
1339
(Martin Pool, #144633)
1341
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1343
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
1344
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
1346
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
1348
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
1350
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
1351
directory to detect leaking tests.
1352
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
1354
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
1355
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
1356
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
1358
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
1361
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
1362
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
1364
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
1369
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
1370
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
1372
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
1373
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
1374
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
1376
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
1377
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
1378
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
1380
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
1381
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
1383
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
1384
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
1386
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
1387
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
1390
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
1391
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
1393
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
1394
class that needs it.
1397
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
1398
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
1400
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
1401
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
1402
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
1404
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
1405
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
1406
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
1409
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
1410
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
1411
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
1412
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
1417
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1418
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1419
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1421
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1422
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1423
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1424
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1426
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1427
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1430
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1431
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1432
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1434
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1435
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1436
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1438
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1439
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1441
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1442
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1443
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1445
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1446
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1448
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1449
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1450
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1452
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1453
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1454
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1456
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1457
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1458
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1459
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1461
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1462
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1463
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1464
returned. (Robert Collins)
1466
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1467
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1469
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1470
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1471
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1472
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1475
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1476
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1480
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1481
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1483
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1484
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1485
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1486
makes this behavior available to other users.
1489
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1490
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
1498
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1499
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1500
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1502
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1504
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1505
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1506
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1507
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1509
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1510
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
1514
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1515
----------------------
1517
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
1518
in bzrlib/remote.py.
1521
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
1522
----------------------
1526
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1527
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1528
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1529
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1532
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1533
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1534
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1539
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1540
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1541
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1544
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1545
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1546
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1548
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1549
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1550
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1552
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1553
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1555
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1556
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1557
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1558
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1559
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1560
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1561
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1562
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1563
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1564
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1566
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1567
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1569
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1570
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1571
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1575
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1576
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1578
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1579
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1580
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1582
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1583
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1585
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1586
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1588
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1591
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1592
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1594
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1595
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1597
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1598
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1600
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1601
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1603
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1605
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1608
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1609
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1610
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1611
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1613
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1615
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1616
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1619
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1620
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1622
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1623
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1626
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1627
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1629
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1630
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1632
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1633
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1634
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1635
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1636
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1637
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1638
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1640
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1641
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1643
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1644
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1646
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1647
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1649
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1650
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1652
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1654
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1656
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1657
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1659
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1660
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1661
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1663
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1664
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1665
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1669
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1670
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1672
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1675
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1678
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1679
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1681
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1683
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1684
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1686
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1687
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1689
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1690
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1691
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1692
space). (Robert Collins)
1694
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1695
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1698
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1699
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1701
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1702
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1704
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1705
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1706
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1707
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1709
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1710
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1711
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1714
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1717
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1718
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1719
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1721
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1722
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1723
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1724
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1725
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1729
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1730
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1732
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1733
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1734
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1735
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1736
affected. (Robert Collins)
1738
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1739
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1740
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1743
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1744
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1748
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1749
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1751
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1752
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1754
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1755
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1757
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1760
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1761
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1765
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1766
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1767
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1768
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1770
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1771
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1773
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1774
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1775
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1776
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1778
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1779
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1780
present. (Robert Collins)
1782
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1783
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1784
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1785
API. (Robert Collins)
1787
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1788
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1791
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1792
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1794
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1795
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1796
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1797
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1798
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1799
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1801
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1802
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1803
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1805
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1806
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1807
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1808
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1811
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1814
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1815
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1816
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1817
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1818
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1819
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1820
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1822
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1823
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1824
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1825
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1827
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1828
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1829
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1830
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1831
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1832
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1834
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1835
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1836
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1838
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1839
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1847
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1848
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1849
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1850
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1851
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1852
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1853
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
1854
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
1859
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1860
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1861
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
1864
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
1865
----------------------
1869
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1870
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1871
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1872
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1873
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1875
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1876
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1878
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1880
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
1882
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
1883
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
1886
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
1887
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
1890
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
1893
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
1894
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
1896
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
1897
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
1899
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
1900
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
1902
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
1903
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
1905
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
1906
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
1908
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
1913
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
1914
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
1916
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
1917
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
1919
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
1920
the repository (Robert Collins)
1922
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
1923
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
1924
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
1925
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
1926
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
1928
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
1929
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1931
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
1932
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
1933
(John Arbash Meinel)
1935
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
1936
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
1937
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
1939
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
1940
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
1941
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
1942
(John Arbash Meinel)
1944
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
1945
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
1948
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
1949
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
1951
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
1954
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
1956
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1958
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
1959
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
1961
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
1962
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
1965
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
1966
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
1967
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
1968
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1970
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
1971
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
1972
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
1974
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
1975
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
1976
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
1978
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
1979
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
1981
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
1982
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
1983
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
1984
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
1985
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
1986
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
1989
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
1990
(Alexander Belchenko)
1992
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
1993
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
1995
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
1996
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
1998
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2000
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2001
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2005
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2006
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2007
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2008
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2010
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2012
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2015
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2016
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2017
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2018
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2019
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2020
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2024
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2025
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2026
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2027
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2029
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2030
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2031
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2032
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2033
tests have been refactored too.
2036
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2037
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2038
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2042
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2043
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2044
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2046
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2047
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2048
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2049
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2050
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2051
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2052
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2054
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2055
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2056
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2057
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2058
(John Arbash Meinel)
2060
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2061
functionality for testing.
2063
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2065
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2066
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2068
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2070
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2073
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2074
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2076
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2077
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2078
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2080
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2083
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2084
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2086
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2087
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2088
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2089
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2091
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2092
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2094
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2095
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2096
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2098
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2101
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2102
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2103
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2104
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2105
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
2106
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2108
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
2109
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
2110
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
2111
many files. (Robert Collins)
2113
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
2114
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
2115
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
2116
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
2120
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
2121
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
2122
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
2124
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
2125
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
2127
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
2128
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
2129
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2133
--------------------
2137
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
2140
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
2141
-----------------------
2145
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
2146
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
2148
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
2149
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
2150
(James Westby, #122656)
2152
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
2153
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
2155
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
2156
authentication header.
2157
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
2159
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
2161
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
2162
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
2164
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
2166
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
2167
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
2169
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
2170
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
2171
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
2173
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
2174
individually and as part of revision ranges.
2175
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
2177
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
2178
(Martin Pool, #109169)
2180
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
2181
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
2183
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
2184
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
2186
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2188
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
2192
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
2193
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
2194
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
2195
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
2196
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
2197
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
2199
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
2200
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
2201
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
2203
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
2206
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
2207
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
2209
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
2210
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
2212
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
2213
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
2215
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
2216
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
2217
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
2218
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
2219
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
2221
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
2222
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
2224
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
2225
can be slow it is useful feedback).
2226
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
2228
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
2229
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
2231
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
2233
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
2234
output. (Aaron Bentley)
2236
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
2237
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
2240
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
2243
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
2244
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
2246
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
2247
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
2249
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
2250
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
2252
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
2254
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
2255
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
2257
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
2262
* Testing cleanups -
2263
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2264
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
2265
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2266
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
2267
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2268
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
2269
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2270
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
2271
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2272
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
2273
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
2274
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
2275
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2276
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
2277
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2278
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
2279
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
2282
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
2284
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
2285
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
2286
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
2288
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
2289
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
2291
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
2292
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2294
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
2296
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
2297
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
2298
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
2299
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
2300
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
2301
same location. (Robert Collins)
2305
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
2307
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
2309
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
2311
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
2314
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
2317
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
2318
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
2319
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
2321
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
2323
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
2324
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
2325
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
2327
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
2328
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
2330
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
2331
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
2332
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
2334
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
2335
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
2336
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
2338
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
2339
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
2340
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
2342
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
2343
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
2346
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
2347
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
2349
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
2350
(Alexander Belchenko)
2354
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
2355
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
2356
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
2357
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2359
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
2360
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
2361
testing. (Robert Collins)
2363
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
2364
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
2366
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
2367
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
2368
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
2369
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
2370
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
2371
attribute during the test parameterisation in
2372
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
2374
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
2375
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
2376
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
2377
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
2379
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
2380
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
2382
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
2383
avoid useless cloning.
2384
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
2388
--------------------
2392
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
2393
(Colin Watson, #120647)
2395
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
2396

bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
2400
-----------------------
2402
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2404
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
2405
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
2406
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
2407
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
2408
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
2409
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
2410
and unlock() like so::
2412
work_tree.lock_read()
2414
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
2419
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
2420
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
2422
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
2423
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
2424
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
2426
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2427
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2428
too. (Robert Collins)
2432
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
2433
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
2436
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
2437
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
2439
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
2440
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
2442
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
2443
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
2444
understanding what changes have occurred
2445
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
2447
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
2448
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
2449
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2451
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
2452
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
2453
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
2454
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2456
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2461
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
2462
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
2463
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
2464
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
2465
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
2467
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2468
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2469
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2471
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
2472
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
2474
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
2476
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2478
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2479
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2481
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2482
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2484
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2485
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2487
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2488
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2490
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2491
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2493
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2494
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2495
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
2498
--------------------
2502
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2503
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2504
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2505
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2506
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2508
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2509
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2510
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2512
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2513
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2517
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2518
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2519
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2521
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2522
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2523
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2524
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
2526
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
2527
-----------------------
2531
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2532
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2533
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2534
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2536
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2537
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2538
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
2540
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2541
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
2543
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
2544
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
2546
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
2547
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
2549
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
2550
-----------------------
2552
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2554
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
2555
it could be recovered again.
2556
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
2557
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
2558
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
2560
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
2562
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
2563
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
2567
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
2568
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
2570
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
2571
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
2572
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
2573
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
2575
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
2576
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
2578
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
2579
tests with names that match that regular expression.
2580
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
2582
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
2583
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
2584
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
2586
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
2587
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
2588
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
2590
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
2591
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
2594
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
2597
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
2598
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
2599
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
2600
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
2602
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
2605
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
2606
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
2607
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
2610
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
2611
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
2613
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
2614
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
2616
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
2617
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
2618
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
2619
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
2622
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
2623
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
2625
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
2626
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2628
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
2629
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
2630
(Robert Collins, #107125).
2632
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
2633
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
2634
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
2636
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
2637
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
2638
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2640
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
2641
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
2642
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
2643
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
2645
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
2646
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
2647
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
2648
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
2650
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
2651
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
2652
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
2653
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
2654
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
2655
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
2656
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
2657
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
2663
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
2664
code paths. (Robert Collins)
2666
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
2667
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
2668
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
2669
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
2670
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2672
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
2673
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
2675
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
2676
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
2678
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
2679
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
2681
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
2682
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
2684
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
2685
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
2686
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
2689
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
2690
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
2691
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
2692
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
2693
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
2696
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
2697
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
2698
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
2700
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
2701
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
2704
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
2705
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
2706
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
2709
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
2710
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
2711
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
2712
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
2713
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
2715
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
2716
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
2717
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
2718
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2720
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
2721
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2723
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
2724
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
2725
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
2726
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
2727
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
2728
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
2730
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
2731
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
2733
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
2734
help. (Robert Collins)
2736
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
2737
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2739
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
2740
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
2741
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
2742
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
2743
(John Arbash Meinel)
2745
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
2746
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
2747
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
2748
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
2749
useful. (Robert Collins)
2751
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
2756
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
2757
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
2759
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
2760
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
2762
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
2763
properly and is no longer beneficial.
2764
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
2766
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2769
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2770
the file, and does it faster.
2771
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2773
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2774
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2775
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2777
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2778
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2779
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2780
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2782
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2783
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2784
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2785
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2787
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2788
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2790
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2791
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2792
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2793
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2796
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2798
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2799
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2801
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2802
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2804
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2805
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2806
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2807
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2811
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2812
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2816
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2817
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2818
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2820
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2821
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2823
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2824
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2825
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2826
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2827
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2828
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2829
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2830
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2832
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2833
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2834
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2836
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2837
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2838
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2839
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2840
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2842
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2844
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2845
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2846
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2848
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2849
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
2857
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
2860
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
2861
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
2864
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
2865
-----------------------
2869
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2870
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2875
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2876
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2877
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2878
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2879
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
2880
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
2881
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
2882
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
2887
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
2888
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
2889
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
2891
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
2892
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
2895
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
2896
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
2897
(John Arbash Meinel)
2899
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
2900
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
2901
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
2902
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
2903
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
2907
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
2910
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
2911
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
2913
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
2914
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
2916
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
2917
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
2918
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
2920
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
2921
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
2923
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
2924
last-changed-revision for directories. The
2925
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
2926
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
2927
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
2929
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
2930
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
2931
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
2933
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
2936
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
2937
-----------------------
2939
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2941
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
2942
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
2943
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
2947
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
2948
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
2950
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
2951
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
2953
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2955
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
2956
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
2958
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
2959
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
2963
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
2968
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
2969
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
2970
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
2971
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2973
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
2974
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
2976
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
2977
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
2979
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
2982
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
2983
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
2986
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
2987
-----------------------
2991
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
2992
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
2993
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
2994
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
2995
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
2996
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
2998
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
2999
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
3000
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
3001
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
3002
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
3003
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
3005
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3007
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
3008
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
3009
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
3010
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
3011
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
3012
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
3013
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
3014
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3018
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3019
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3021
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
3022
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
3023
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
3024
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
3026
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
3027
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
3028
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
3029
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
3030
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
3032
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
3035
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3038
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3041
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3042
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3045
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3048
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3049
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3051
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3052
directory. (Martin Pool)
3054
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3055
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3056
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3057
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3059
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3060
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3061
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3062
in docs/configuration.txt.
3064
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3065
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
3068
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
3069
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
3070
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
3071
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
3072
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
3073
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3075
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3076
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3078
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3079
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3081
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
3086
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
3087
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
3088
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
3089
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
3090
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
3091
(John Arbash Meinel)
3093
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
3094
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
3097
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
3098
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
3099
(John Arbash Meinel)
3101
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
3102
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
3103
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
3104
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
3105
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
3106
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
3108
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
3109
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
3110
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
3112
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
3113
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
3114
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
3115
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
3117
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3119
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
3120
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
3121
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
3122
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
3124
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
3125
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
3126
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
3127
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
3129
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
3130
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
3131
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
3133
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
3134
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
3135
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
3137
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
3138
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
3139
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
3140
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
3142
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
3143
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
3144
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
3146
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
3147
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
3148
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
3150
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
3151
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
3152
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
3153
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
3154
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
3155
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
3156
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
3157
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
3158
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
3159
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
3160
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
3164
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
3165
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
3166
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
3168
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
3171
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
3172
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
3173
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
3174
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
3176
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
3177
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
3180
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
3181
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
3183
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
3185
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
3186
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
3187
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
3189
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
3190
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
3192
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
3193
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
3195
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
3196
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
3198
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
3199
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
3201
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
3203
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
3204
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
3208
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
3209
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
3213
--------------------
3217
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
3221
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
3222
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
3223
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
3225
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
3226
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
3227
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
3230
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
3231
-----------------------
3235
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
3236
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
3237
server, then you can write over the http connection.
3238
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3240
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
3243
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
3244
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
3245
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3247
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
3248
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
3250
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
3253
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
3254
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
3255
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
3256
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
3257
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
3258
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
3260
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
3261
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
3262
should enable you to do::
3264
[/home/user/project]
3265
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
3266
push_location:policy = appendpath
3268
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
3269
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
3272
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
3273
for each file. For example::
3275
$ bzr status --short
3281
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
3282
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
3284
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
3286
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
3287
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
3289
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
3293
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
3294
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
3295
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
3296
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
3298
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
3299
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
3300
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
3302
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3304
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
3305
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
3306
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
3307
(Alexander Belchenko)
3309
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
3312
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
3313
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
3315
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
3319
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
3320
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
3322
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
3323
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
3324
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
3325
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
3326
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
3328
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
3329
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
3331
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
3332
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
3334
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
3336
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
3338
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
3339
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
3340
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
3341
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
3342
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
3344
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
3345
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
3346
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
3347
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
3349
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
3350
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
3352
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
3353
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
3355
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
3356
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
3358
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
3359
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
3363
--------------------
3365
No changes from 0.13rc1
3367
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
3368
-----------------------
3372
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
3374
(Daniel Silverstone)
3376
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
3377
operations are substantially faster.
3378
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
3380
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
3381
tree from some other url. For example:
3382
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
3383
(Daniel Silverstone)
3385
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
3386
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
3387
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
3388
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
3390
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
3393
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
3394
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
3395
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
3396
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
3397
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
3398
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
3402
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
3403
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
3406
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3407
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3408
(John Arbash Meinel)
3410
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
3411
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
3412
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
3413
(John Arbash Meinel)
3415
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
3416
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3418
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3419
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3421
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3422
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3427
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
3428
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
3429
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
3431
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
3432
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
3433
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
3434
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
3436
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3438
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3439
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3441
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3442
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3443
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
3444
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3446
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3447
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3448
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3450
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3451
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3452
them as full references rather than integers.
3453
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3455
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3456
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3458
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3460
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3461
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3463
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3464
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3466
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3467
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3468
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3469
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3471
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3472
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3473
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3475
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3476
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3478
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3479
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3480
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3481
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3482
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3486
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3487
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
3490
--------------------
3494
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3495
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3496
(John Arbash Meinel)
3498
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
3499
-----------------------
3503
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3504
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3505
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3506
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3508
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3509
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3511
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3513
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3514
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3515
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3516
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3518
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3519
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3520
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3521
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3522
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3524
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3526
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3527
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3531
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3532
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3533
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3535
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3536
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3537
(John Arbash Meinel)
3539
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3540
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3541
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3543
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3544
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3547
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3548
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3549
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3551
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3552
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3553
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3554
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3555
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3556
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3558
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3559
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3560
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3563
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3564
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3568
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3569
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3570
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3573
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3574
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3576
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3577
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3578
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3580
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3581
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3583
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3584
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3585
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3586
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3588
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3589
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3591
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3592
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3593
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3595
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3596
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3598
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3600
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3601
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3606
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3607
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3608
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3609
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3611
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3612
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3613
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3616
--------------------
3618
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
3620
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
3621
-----------------------
3625
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
3627
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
3630
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
3631
-----------------------
3635
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3636
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3637
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3638
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3639
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3640
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3641
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3643
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3644
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3645
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3647
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3649
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3650
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3652
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3653
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3654
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3657
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3658
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3659
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3660
(John Arbash Meinel)
3662
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3663
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3664
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3665
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3668
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3669
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3670
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
3671
(John Arbash Meinel)
3675
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
3676
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
3678
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3680
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3681
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3682
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
3684
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3685
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
3687
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3688
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3690
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3691
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3693
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
3694
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
3696
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3698
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3699
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3701
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3702
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3704
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3705
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3707
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3708
(John Arbash Meinel)
3710
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3711
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3712
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3714
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3715
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3717
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3718
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3719
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3720
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3722
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3723
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3724
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
3726
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
3727
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
3731
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3735
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3736
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3737
(John Arbash Meinel)
3739
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3740
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3741
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3742
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3744
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3747
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3748
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3749
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3751
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3752
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3754
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3755
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3756
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3758
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3759
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3760
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3761
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3762
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3763
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3764
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3765
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3766
caller to repeat their request.
3767
(John Arbash Meinel)
3769
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3770
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3772
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3773
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3775
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3776
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3777
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3778
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3779
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3780
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3781
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3783
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3784
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3785
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3786
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3787
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3788
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3789
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3790
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3793
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3794
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3795
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3797
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3798
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3800
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3801
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3803
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3804
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3808
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3809
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3811
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3812
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3813
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3815
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3816
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3817
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3820
--------------------
3823
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3824
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3826
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3827
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3828
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3829
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3830
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3832
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3833
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3834
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3836
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3837
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3839
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3840
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3841
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3845
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3847
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3848
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
3849
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
3851
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
3853
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
3855
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
3856
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
3857
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
3858
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
3860
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
3861
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
3862
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
3863
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
3864
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
3866
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
3867
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
3869
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
3870
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
3872
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
3873
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
3875
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
3876
in handling of revision properties.
3877
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
3879
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
3880
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
3884
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
3885
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
3886
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
3887
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
3888
(John Arbash Meinel)
3890
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
3891
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
3892
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3894
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
3895
---------------------
3899
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
3900
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
3901
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
3902
specific one '.bzrignore'.
3903
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
3904
a more conservative list than the old default.
3905
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
3906
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
3907
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
3908
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
3910
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
3911
to more locations than just branch locations.
3916
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
3917
revno:N:branch. For example,
3918
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
3919
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
3921
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
3922
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
3923
the path of a file that has been versioned.
3924
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
3925
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
3926
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
3927
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
3928
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
3931
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
3932
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
3933
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
3936
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
3937
(Alexander Belchenko)
3939
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
3941
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
3944
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
3945
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
3946
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
3947
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
3948
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
3949
(John Arbash Meinel)
3951
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
3952
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
3953
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
3954
grained analysis of performance.
3955
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3957
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
3958
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
3960
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
3961
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
3962
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
3963
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
3964
file. (Robert Collins).
3966
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
3967
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
3968
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
3970
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
3971
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
3974
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
3975
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
3977
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
3978
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
3979
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
3980
the same way you would apply another branch.
3981
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3983
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
3984
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
3986
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
3989
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
3992
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
3993
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
3994
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
3996
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
3997
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
3998
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
4000
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
4001
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
4003
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
4004
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
4005
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
4006
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
4007
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
4009
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
4010
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
4012
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
4013
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
4014
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
4015
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
4016
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
4017
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
4018
branch is as much as 4x faster.
4019
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
4021
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
4022
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
4023
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
4027
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4029
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4031
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4032
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4034
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4035
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4037
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4038
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4040
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4042
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4043
(John Arbash Meinel)
4045
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4046
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4048
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4049
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4052
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4053
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4055
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4056
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4058
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4059
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4060
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4061
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4063
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4064
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4066
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4068
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4069
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4071
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4073
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4075
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4076
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4078
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4079
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4081
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4082
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4083
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4085
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4086
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4087
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4089
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4090
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4092
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4093
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4095
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4096
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4098
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4099
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4101
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4102
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
4104
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
4105
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
4106
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
4108
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
4110
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
4111
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
4115
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
4116
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
4117
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
4119
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
4120
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
4122
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
4123
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
4124
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4126
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
4127
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4129
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
4130
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
4133
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
4134
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
4135
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4137
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
4138
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
4139
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4141
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
4142
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
4143
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
4145
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
4146
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
4147
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
4149
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
4150
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
4151
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
4153
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
4154
instead. (Robert Collins)
4156
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
4158
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
4159
---------------------
4163
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
4165
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
4166
---------------------
4170
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
4171
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
4173
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
4174
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4176
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
4177
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
4178
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
4182
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
4184
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
4185
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
4187
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
4191
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
4192
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
4193
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
4194
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
4198
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
4199
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
4200
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
4204
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
4205
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
4206
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4210
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
4211
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
4216
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4218
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
4219
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
4220
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
4221
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
4222
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
4223
will keep the same format.
4225
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
4226
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
4227
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
4228
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
4229
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
4231
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
4232
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
4233
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
4234
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
4235
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
4236
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
4237
indicating the current revision of the branch.
4239
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
4240
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
4241
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
4242
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
4243
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
4245
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
4246
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
4247
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
4253
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
4254
convention. Paths now take the form::
4256
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
4258
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
4260
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
4261
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
4263
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
4264
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
4265
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
4267
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
4268
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
4269
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
4270
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
4272
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
4273
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
4274
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
4276
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
4278
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
4280
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
4281
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
4284
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
4285
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
4288
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
4290
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
4291
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
4292
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
4295
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
4297
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
4299
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
4302
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
4303
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
4305
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
4306
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
4309
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
4310
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
4313
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
4315
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
4317
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
4318
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
4320
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
4321
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
4322
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
4323
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
4324
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
4325
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
4327
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
4329
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
4330
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
4333
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
4334
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
4336
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
4337
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
4339
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
4341
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
4342
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
4343
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
4344
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
4345
specification by Martin Pool.
4346
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
4348
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
4351
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
4352
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4354
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
4355
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
4356
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
4358
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
4360
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
4361
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
4366
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
4367
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4369
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
4371
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
4373
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
4376
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
4377
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
4378
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
4379
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
4383
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
4384
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
4385
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
4386
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4388
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
4389
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
4390
tried. (Martin Pool)
4392
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
4395
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
4397
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
4398
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
4399
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
4401
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
4402
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
4404
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
4405
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
4406
paths. (Robert Collins)
4408
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
4409
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
4410
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
4412
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
4413
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
4414
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
4416
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4417
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4418
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4420
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4423
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4426
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4428
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4430
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
4431
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
4432
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
4435
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4436
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4438
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
4439
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
4440
check. (Robert Collins)
4442
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4443
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4447
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4448
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4450
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4451
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4452
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4453
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4455
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4456
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4457
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4458
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4459
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4461
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4462
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4463
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4465
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4467
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4468
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
4475
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4476
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4478
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4479
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4480
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4483
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4484
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4486
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4487
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4488
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4489
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4490
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4492
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4493
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4494
used. (Robert Collins)
4496
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4497
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4500
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4501
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4502
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4504
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4507
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4508
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4512
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4513
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4515
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4517
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4519
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4520
tree. (Robert Collins)
4522
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4523
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4524
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4527
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4530
* Tweaks to short log printing
4532
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4535
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4536
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4538
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4539
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4541
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4542
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4544
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
4545
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4546
settings. (Magnus Therning)
4548
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
4549
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4551
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4552
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4555
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4556
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4558
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
4559
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
4561
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
4562
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
4564
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
4567
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
4568
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4570
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4571
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4573
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4574
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4575
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
4579
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
4581
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4583
* Error when run with -OO
4585
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
4588
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4590
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4592
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4593
ignored by diff and status
4595
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4596
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
4598
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
4600
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4602
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4603
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4605
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4606
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4608
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4611
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4612
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4614
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4616
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4617
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4619
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4622
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4623
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4625
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4629
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4630
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4632
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4634
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4636
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4638
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4639
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4640
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4642
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4644
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4645
(John Arbash Meinel)
4647
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4649
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4650
If adding a new test script please add that to
4651
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4653
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4654
imported. (Martin Pool)
4656
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4657
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4658
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4659
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4660
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4663
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4664
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4665
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4667
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4668
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4669
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4671
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4672
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4673
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4674
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4675
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4678
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4679
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4684
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4685
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4687
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4688
function. (Robert Collins)
4690
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4691
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4692
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4694
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4695
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4698
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4699
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4700
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4701
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4702
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4703
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4704
version. (Robert Collins)
4706
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4707
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4709
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4710
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4711
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4712
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4713
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4714
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4716
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4719
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4729
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4731
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4733
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4736
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4737
query method. (Robert Collins)
4739
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4742
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4745
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4748
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4749
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4750
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4751
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4753
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4754
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4755
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4756
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4758
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4759
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
4766
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4769
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4773
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4774
a separator, not ':'.
4777
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4778
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4779
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4781
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4782
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4785
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4786
has been added that suppresses all output.
4788
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4791
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4792
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4794
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4795
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4797
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4798
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4800
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4801
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4802
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4803
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4805
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4807
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4808
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4810
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4811
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4813
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4814
output directory, if one was supplied.
4816
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4817
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4818
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4819
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4821
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4823
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4824
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4826
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4827
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4828
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4830
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4831
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4833
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4836
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4838
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4842
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4843
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4844
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4846
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4847
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4848
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4850
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
4851
is given. (Martin Pool)
4853
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
4854
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
4855
file. (Robert Collins)
4857
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
4862
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
4863
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
4864
representation. (Martin Pool).
4866
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
4867
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
4868
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
4870
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4873
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
4874
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
4877
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4878
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
4879
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
4880
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
4881
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4883
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
4884
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
4885
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
4886
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
4887
python path. (Robert Collins)
4889
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
4890
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
4891
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
4892
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
4894
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
4895
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
4897
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
4898
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
4901
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
4902
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
4903
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
4905
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
4906
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
4907
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
4909
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4910
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4912
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
4913
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
4914
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
4917
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
4918
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
4919
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
4920
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
4923
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
4926
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
4927
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
4930
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
4931
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
4932
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
4934
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
4935
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
4936
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
4938
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
4939
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
4940
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
4942
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4943
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4945
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
4946
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
4947
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
4948
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
4949
caller. (Robert Collins)
4951
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
4952
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
4955
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
4956
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
4959
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
4961
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
4962
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
4966
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
4967
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
4969
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
4970
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
4973
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
4974
--------------------
4978
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
4979
allow directories to be listed.
4981
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
4982
upgrading branch format.
4986
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
4994
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
4995
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
4996
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
4997
high-latency connections.
5001
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
5004
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
5005
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
5007
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
5008
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
5009
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
5010
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5012
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5013
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5015
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5016
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5018
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
5019
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
5020
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5022
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
5023
for files with only a change to their executable status.
5024
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
5027
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5028
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5030
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5031
different partial views of history.
5033
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5034
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5038
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5039
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5040
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5042
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5043
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5046
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5047
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5049
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5052
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5053
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5055
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5056
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5057
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5058
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5060
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5062
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5063
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5066
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5067
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5069
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5070
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5071
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5076
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5077
for your viewing pleasure.
5079
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5080
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5082
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5083
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5084
handling of such circumstances.
5086
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
5087
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
5088
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
5090
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5092
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5093
we call them revisions not patches.
5095
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5096
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5098
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
5099
giving the revision *of that file*.
5101
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
5102
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
5103
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
5107
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
5108
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
5110
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
5111
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
5114
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
5115
--------------------
5119
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
5121
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
5124
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
5126
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
5128
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
5129
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5133
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
5134
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
5136
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
5137
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
5138
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
5139
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
5142
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
5143
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5147
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
5149
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
5150
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
5153
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
5154
--------------------
5158
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
5159
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
5160
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
5161
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
5164
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
5167
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
5168
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
5169
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
5170
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
5171
for the operating system is still tried.
5173
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
5174
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
5175
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
5180
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
5184
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
5186
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
5189
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
5195
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
5197
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
5200
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
5201
--------------------
5205
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
5206
help with intelligent shell completion.
5208
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
5213
* Much better merge support.
5215
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
5216
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
5222
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
5223
mention revisions that are not present.
5225
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
5227
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
5229
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
5230
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
5235
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
5237
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
5238
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
5244
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
5245
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
5250
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
5251
--------------------
5255
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
5256
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
5258
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
5260
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
5261
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
5263
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
5266
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
5268
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
5271
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
5272
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
5274
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
5275
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
5276
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
5281
* Faster working tree operations.
5286
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
5287
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
5288
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
5289
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
5291
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
5292
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
5293
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
5294
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
5295
standard plugins directory.
5297
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
5298
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
5299
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
5300
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
5302
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
5303
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
5305
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
5308
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
5309
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
5310
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
5312
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
5313
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
5315
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
5316
line options must come before the command name because they
5317
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
5318
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
5321
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
5323
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
5324
is available with ``--short``.
5329
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
5332
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
5333
---------------------
5337
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
5338
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5340
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
5341
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
5342
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
5343
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
5345
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
5346
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
5347
with the ``--forward`` option.
5349
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
5350
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
5356
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
5357
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
5359
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
5361
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
5362
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
5364
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
5366
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
5367
either read or write mode.
5369
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
5371
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
5374
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
5376
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
5377
suggested by LarstiQ.
5379
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
5380
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
5382
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
5385
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
5386
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
5388
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
5389
haven't changed since the previous time.
5391
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
5392
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
5394
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
5396
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
5398
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
5399
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
5401
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
5402
options through to an external GNU diff.
5404
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
5407
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
5413
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
5414
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
5416
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
5422
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
5423
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
5426
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
5427
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
5429
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
5430
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
5432
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
5433
under a different version.
5435
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
5440
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
5442
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
5443
Scott James Remnant.
5445
* Better help messages for many commands.
5447
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
5448
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
5450
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
5451
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
5453
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
5455
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
5457
* New AtomicFile class.
5459
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
5464
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
5465
2.4 is now only recommended.
5468
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
5469
---------------------
5473
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
5474
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
5476
* More default ignore patterns.
5478
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
5479
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
5481
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
5483
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
5486
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
5491
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
5492
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
5493
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
5494
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
5495
there are DNS problems.
5497
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
5502
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
5504
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
5506
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
5507
trailing newlines properly.
5512
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
5515
* More tests in test.sh.
5517
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
5518
directory and delete it when done.
5520
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
5525
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
5528
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
5532
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
5533
---------------------
5537
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
5540
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
5542
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
5545
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
5548
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
5550
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
5554
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
5555
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
5560
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
5561
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
5566
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
5570
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
5578
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
5581
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
5582
-----------------------------------
5586
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
5588
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
5589
rather than replacing it.
5591
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
5595
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
5598
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
5599
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
5601
* Performance improvements.
5603
* New global --profile option.
5605
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
5606
the root directory only.
5609
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
5610
---------------------
5614
* More information from info command.
5616
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
5618
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
5619
committing to stores.
5621
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
5625
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
5629
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
5630
installation easier.
5632
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
5636
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
5637
------------------------
5641
* First public release.
5643
* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
