IN DEVELOPMENT
9
--------------
10
11
IMPROVEMENTS:
12
13
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
14
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
15
(Martin Pool)
16
17
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
18
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
19
20
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
21
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
22
faster. The new request method name is
23
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
24
25
BUGFIXES:
26
27
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
28
loaded.
29
(Martin Pool, #205230)
30
31
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
32
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
33
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
34
(Martin Pool, #240161)
35
36
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
37
name contains an @.
38
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
39
40
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
41
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
42
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
43
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
44
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
45
46
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
47
(Martin Pool, #172870)
48
49
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
50
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
51
52
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
53
Cygwin Bazaar.
54
(Matt McClure, #209281)
55
56
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
57
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
58
59
DOCUMENTATION:
60
61
* Updated developer documentation.
62
(Martin Pool)
63
64
TESTING:
65
66
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
67
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
68
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
69
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
70
71
API CHANGES:
72
73
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
74
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
75
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
76
Repository docstring for more details.
77
(Robert Collins)
78
79
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
80
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
81
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
82
83
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
84
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
85
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
86
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
87
88
INTERNALS:
89
90
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
91
(Alexander Belchenko)
92
93
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
94
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
95
storage. (Robert Collins)
96
97
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
98
(Robert Collins)
99
100
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
101
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
102
(Robert Collins)

105
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
106
-----------------------
107
108
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
109
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
110
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
111
now faster.
112
113
BUG FIXES:
114
115
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
116
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
117
reading from the repository.)
118
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
119
120
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
121
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
122
123
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
124
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
125
(Andrew Bennetts)
126
127
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
128
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
129
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
130
131
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
132
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
133
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
134
135
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
136
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
137
138
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
139
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
140
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
141
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
142
143
IMPROVEMENTS:
144
145
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
146
147
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
148
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
149
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
150
(Adrian Wilkins)
151
152
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
153
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
154
155
DOCUMENTATION:
156
157
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
158
159
TESTING:
160
161
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
162
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
163
164
API CHANGES:
165
166
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
167
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
168
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
169
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
170
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
171
172
INTERNALS:
173
174
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
175
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
176
177
178
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
179
-----------------------
180
181
182
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
183
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
184
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
185
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
186
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
187
and future extensions.
188
189
190
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
191
192
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
193
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
194
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
195
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
196
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
197
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
198
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
199
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
200
201
CHANGES:
202
203
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
204
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
205
(John Arbash Meinel)
206
207
FEATURES:
208
209
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
210
load. (James Westby)
211
212
IMPROVEMENTS:
213
214
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
215
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
216
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
217
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
218
219
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
220
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
221
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
222
223
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
224
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
225
226
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
227
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
228
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
229
230
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
231
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
232
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
233
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
234
step closer to not using full revision history.
235
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
236
237
BUGFIXES:
238
239
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
240
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
241
242
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
243
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
244
245
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
246
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
247
248
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
249
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
250
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
251
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
252
253
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
254
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
255
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
256
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
257
258
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
259
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
260
in use by another process.
261
(Martin Pool)
262
263
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
264
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
265
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
266
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
267
268
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
269
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
270
271
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
272
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
273
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
274
275
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
276
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
277
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
278
279
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
280
them.
281
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
282
283
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
284
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
285
286
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
287
under vim on Mac OS X.
288
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
289
290
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
291
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
292
293
DOCUMENTATION:
294
295
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
296
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
297
298
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
299
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
300
(Ian Clatworthy)
301
302
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
303
and about use of Python reprs.
304
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
305
306
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
307
308
TESTING:
309
310
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
311
(Robert Collins)
312
313
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
314
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
315
316
* New helper function for splitting test suites
317
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
318
319
INTERNALS:
320
321
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
322
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
323
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
324
(John Arbash Meinel)
325
326
API CHANGES:
327
328
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
329
instead. (Martin Pool)
330
331
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
332
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
333
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
334
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
335
336
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
337
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
338
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
339
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
340
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
341
342
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
343
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
344
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
345
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
346
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
347
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
348
349
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
350
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
351
(Martin Pool)
352
353
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
354
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
355
(Robert Collins)
356
357
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
358
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
359
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
360
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
361
362
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
363
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
364
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
365
366
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
367
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
368
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
369
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
370
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
371
(Martin Pool)
372
373
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
374
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
375
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
376
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
377
(Robert Collins)
378
379
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
380
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
381
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
382
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
383
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
384
385
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
386
(Martin Pool)
387
388
389
bzr 1.5 2008-05-16
390
------------------
391
392
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
393
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
394
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
395
396
CHANGES:
397
398
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
399
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
400
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
401
402
DOCUMENTATION:
403
404
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
405
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

bzr 1.5rc1 2008-05-09
410
---------------------
411
412
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
413
414
CHANGES:
415
416
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
417
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
418
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
419
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
420
421
FEATURES:
422
423
IMPROVEMENTS:
424
425
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
426
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
427
428
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
429
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
430
431
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
432
(Aaron Bentley)
433
434
BUGFIXES:
435
436
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
437
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
438
439
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
440
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
441
442
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
443
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
444
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
445
446
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
447
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
448
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
449
450
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
451
(Andreas Deininger)
452
453
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
454
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
455
456
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
457
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
458
459
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
460
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
461
462
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
463
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
464
465
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
466
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
467
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
468
469
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
470
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
471
472
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
473
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
474
475
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
476
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
477
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
478
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
479
480
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
481
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
482
(Martin Pool)
483
484
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
485
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
486
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
487
488
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
489
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
490
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
491
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
492
every revision each side had in common.
493
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
494
495
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
496
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
497
498
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
499
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
500
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
501
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
502
503
DOCUMENTATION:
504
505
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
506
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
507
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
508
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
509
510
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
511
512
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
513
514
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
515
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
516
517
TESTING:
518
519
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
520
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
521
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
522
523
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
524
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
525
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
526
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
527
528
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
529
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
530
531
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
532
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
533
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
534
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
535
536
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
537
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
538
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
539
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
540
541
INTERNALS:
542
543
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
544
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
545
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
546
547
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
548
549
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
550
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
551
552
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
553
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
554
555
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
556
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
557
558
API CHANGES:
559
560
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
561
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
562
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
563
564
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
565
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
566
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
567
(Aaron Bentley)
568
569
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
570
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
571
(Martin Pool)
572
573
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

------------------
579
580
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
581
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
582
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
583
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
584
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
585
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
586
and faster performance.
587
588
BUG FIXES:

602
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
603
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
604
605
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
606
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
607
608
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
609
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
610
611
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
612
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
613
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was

bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
620
---------------------
621
622
CHANGES:
623
624
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
625
626
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
627
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
628
629
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
630
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
631
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
632
633
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
634
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
635
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
636
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
637
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
638
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
639
Andrew Cowie)
640
641
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
642
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
643
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
644
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
645
646
FEATURES:
647
648
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
649
650
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
651
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
652
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
653
654
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
655
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
656
See the User Reference for signature details.
657
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
658
659
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
660
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
661
662
IMPROVEMENTS:
663
664
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
665
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
666
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
667
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
668
669
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
670
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
671
672
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
673
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
674
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
675
Wouter van Heyst)
676
677
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
678
(Chad Miller)
679
680
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
681
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
682
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
683
684
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
685
(Aaron Bentley)
686
687
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
688
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
689
690
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
691
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
692
693
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
694
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
695
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
696
697
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
698
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
699
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
700
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
701
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
702
703
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
704
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
705
706
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
707
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
708
709
BUGFIXES:
710
711
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
712
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
713
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
714
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
715
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
716
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
717
718
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
719
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
720
721
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
722
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
723
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
724
725
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
726
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
727
728
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
729
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
730
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
731
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
732
733
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
734
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
735
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
736
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
737
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
738
739
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
740
741
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
742
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
743
744
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
745
746
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
747
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
748
749
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
750
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
751
752
DOCUMENTATION:
753
754
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
755
756
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
757
758
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
759
760
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
761
762
API BREAKS:
763
764
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
765
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
766
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
767
768
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
769
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
770
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
771
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
772
773
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
774
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
775
release. (James Westby)
776
777
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
778
(Andrew Bennetts)
779
780
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
781
782
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
783
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
784
785
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
786
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
787
788
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
789
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
790
791
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
792
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
793
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
794
795
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
796
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
797
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
798
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
799
800
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
801
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
802
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
803
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
804
805
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
806
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
807
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
808
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
809
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
810
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
811
812
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
813
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
814
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
815
816
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
817
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
818
819
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
820
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
821
(Robert Collins)
822
823
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
824
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
825
826
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
827
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
828
829
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
830
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
831
832
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
833
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
834
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
835
836
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
837
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
838
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
839
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
840
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
841
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
842
843
TESTING:
844
845
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
846
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
847
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
848
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
849
850
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
851
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
852
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
853
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
854
implement this).
855
(Vincent Ladeuil)
856
857
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
858
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
859
(Vincent Ladeuil)
860
861
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
862
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
863
864
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
865
866
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
867
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
868
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
869
870
INTERNALS:
871
872
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
873
874
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
875
(Martin Albisetti)
876
877
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
878
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
879
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
880
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
881
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
882
(Martin Pool, #109520)
883
884
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
885
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
886
887
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
888
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
889
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
890
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
891
892
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
893
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
894
895
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
896
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
922
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
923
features have been added.
924
925
TESTING:
926
927
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
928
directory names.

---------------------
934
935
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
936
937
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
938
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
939
940
CHANGES:
941
942
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
943
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
944
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
945
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
946
(Robert Collins)
947
948
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
949
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
950
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
951
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
952
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
953
(Alexander Belchenko)
954
955
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
956
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
957
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
958
(Alexander Belchenko)
959
960
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
961
962
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
963
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
964
965
FEATURES:
966
967
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
968
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
969
970
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
971
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
972
(Jelmer Vernooij)
973
974
IMPROVEMENTS:
975
976
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
977
978
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
979
980
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
981
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
982
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
983
984
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
985
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
986
987
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
988
to. (Daniel Watkins)
989
990
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
991
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
992
(Alexander Belchenko)
993
994
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
995
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
996
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
997
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
998
999
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1000
(Daniel Watkins)
1001
1002
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1003
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1004
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1005
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1006
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1007
1008
BUGFIXES:
1009
1010
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1011
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1012
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1013
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1014
1015
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1016
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1017
1018
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1019
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1020
1021
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1022
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1023
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
1024
1025
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1026
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1027
1028
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1029
#196618)
1030
1031
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1032
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1033
1034
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1035
1036
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1037
1038
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1039
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1040
1041
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1042
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1043
1044
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1045
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1046
1047
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1048
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1049
1050
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1051
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1052
1053
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1054
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1055
1056
DOCUMENTATION:
1057
1058
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
1059
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1060
1061
API BREAKS:
1062
1063
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1064
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1065
(Alexander Belchenko)
1066
1067
TESTING:
1068
1069
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1070
1071
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1072
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1073
(Robert Collins)
1074
1075
INTERNALS:
1076
1077
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1078
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1079
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1080
1081
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1082
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1083
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1084
(Alexander Belchenko)
1085
1086
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1087
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1088
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1089
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1090
1091
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1092
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1093
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1094
(Robert Collins)
1095
1096
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1097
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1098
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1099
1100
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1101
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1102
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1103
1104
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1105
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1106
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1107
format. (Robert Collins)

BUG FIXES:
1114
1115
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)

1118
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
1119
---------------------
1120
1121
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1122
1123
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1124
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1125
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1126
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1127
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1128
(Andrew Bennetts)
1129
1130
CHANGES:
1131
1132
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1133
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1134
1135
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1136
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1137
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1138
1139
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1140
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1141
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1142
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1143
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1144
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1145
(Aaron Bentley)
1146
1147
FEATURES:
1148
1149
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1150
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1151
1152
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1153
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1154
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1155
(Robert Collins)
1156
1157
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1158
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1159
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1160
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1161
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1162
1163
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1164
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1165
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1166
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1167
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1168
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1169
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1170
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1171
1172
IMPROVEMENTS:
1173
1174
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1175
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1176
1177
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1178
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1179
1180
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1181
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1182
1183
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1184
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1185
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1186
1187
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1188
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1189
(John Arbash Meinel)
1190
1191
BUGFIXES:
1192
1193
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1194
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1195
1196
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1197
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1198
1199
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1200
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1201
1202
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1203
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1204
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1205
1206
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1207
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1208
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1209
1210
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1211
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1212
1213
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1214
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1215
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1216
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1217
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1218
unittest runner.
1219
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1220
1221
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1222
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1223
#185907)
1224
1225
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1226
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1227
1228
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1229
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1230
1231
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1232
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1233
1234
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1235
more characters which should be considered valid.
1236
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1237
1238
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1239
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1240
1241
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1242
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1243
1244
API BREAKS:
1245
1246
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1247
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1248
1249
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1250
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1251
(Martin Pool)
1252
1253
TESTING:
1254
1255
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1256
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1257
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1258
1259
INTERNALS:
1260
1261
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1262
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1263
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1264
1265
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1266
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1267
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1268
1269
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1270
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1271
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1272
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1273
1274
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1275
1276
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1277
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1278
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1279
server. (Robert Collins)
1280
1281
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1282
operate. (Robert Collins)
1283
1284
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1285
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1286
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1287
1288
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1289
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1290
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1291
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1292
1293
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1294
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1295
1296
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1297
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1298
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1299
1300
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1301
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1302
1303
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1304
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1305
1306
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1307
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1308
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1309
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

1316
1317
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
1318
---------------------
1319
1320
CHANGES:
1321
1322
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1323
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1324
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1325
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1326
1327
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1328
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1329
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1330
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1331
1332
FEATURES:
1333
1334
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1335
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1336
1337
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1338
(Aaron Bentley)
1339
1340
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1341
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1342
1343
IMPROVEMENTS:
1344
1345
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1346
#90049)
1347
1348
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1349
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1350
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1351
1352
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1353
1354
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1355
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1356
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1357
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1358
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1359
1360
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1361
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1362
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1363
1364
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1365
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1366
1367
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1368
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1369
1370
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1371
1372
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1373
1374
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1375
(Aaron Bentley)
1376
1377
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1378
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1379
1380
BUGFIXES:
1381
1382
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1383
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1384
1385
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1386
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1387
1388
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1389
(Aaron Bentley)
1390
1391
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1392
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1393
1394
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1395
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1396
1397
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is

1404
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1405
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)

1408
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1409
1410
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1411
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1412
(Aaron Bentley)
1413
1414
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1415
1416
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1417
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1418
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)

(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1422
1423
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1424
(Aaron Bentley)
1425
1426
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1427
#148087)
1428
1429
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1430
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1431
1432
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1433
#137681)
1434
1435
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1436
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1437
(Aaron Bentley)
1438
1439
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1440
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.

1445
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1446
(Ian Clatworthy)
1447
1448
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1449
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1450
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1451
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1452
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1453
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1454
1455
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1456
1457
INTERNALS:
1458
1459
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.

1462
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
1463
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1464
1465
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1466
1467
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1468
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1469
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1470
Robert Collins)
1471
1472
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1473
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1474
1475
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.

API BREAKS:
1479
1480
TESTING:
1481
1482
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
1483
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1484
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
1485
1486
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1487
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1488
(Robert Collins)
1489
1490
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1491
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1492
1493
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
1494
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1495
1496
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1497
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1498
1499
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
1500
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
1501
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1502
1503
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1504
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1505
1506
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
1507
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1508
1509
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
1510
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
1511
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1512
1513
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
1514
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
1515
1516
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
1517
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

BUGFIXES:
1548
1549
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
1550
1551
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
1552
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
1553
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
1554
feedback but also incur more latency.
1555
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
1556
1557
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
1558
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)

1566
1567
INTERNALS:
1568
1569
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the

IMPROVEMENTS:
1579
1580
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1581
1582
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
1583
(Aaron Bentley)
1584
1585
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
1586
Nordhoff, #172612)
1587
1588
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1589
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1590
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
1591
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1592
1593
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
1594
(Kent Gibson)
1595
1596
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1597
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1598
1599
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1600
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1601
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1602
1603
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1604
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1605
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1606
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1607
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1608
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1609
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1610
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1611
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
1612
1613
INTERNALS:
1614
1615
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.

* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
1623
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
1624
1625
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
1626
filename to user.
1627
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1628
1629
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1630
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1631
required.
1632
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
1633
1634
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1635
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
1636
1637
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
1638
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
1639
1640

bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
1647
---------------------
1648
1649
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1650
1651
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1652
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1653
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1654
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1655
1656
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1657
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1658
1659
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1660
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1661
1662
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1663
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1664
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1665
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1666
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1667
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1668
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1669
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1670
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1671
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1672
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1673
from any tree without problems.
1674
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
1675
1676
CHANGES:
1677
1678
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1679
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1680
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1681
1682
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
1683
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
1684
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
1685
(Martin Pool)
1686
1687
FEATURES:
1688
1689
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
1690
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
1691
supported transports.
1692
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1693
1694
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
1695
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
1696
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
1697
1698
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1699
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1700
1701
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
1702
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
1703
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
1704
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
1705
1706
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
1707
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
1708
1709
PERFORMANCE:
1710
1711
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
1712
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
1713
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
1714
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1715
1716
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
1717
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
1718
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
1719
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
1720
1721
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
1722
(Robert Collins, #88319)
1723
1724
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
1725
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
1726
1727
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1728
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1729
1730
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1731
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1732
(Aaron Bentley)
1733
1734
IMPROVEMENTS:
1735
1736
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1737
(Aaron Bentley)
1738
1739
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1740
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1741
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1742
1743
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1744
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1745
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1746
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1747
1748
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1749
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1750
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1751
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
1762
1763
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
1764
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
1765
1766
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
1767
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
1768

* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
1770
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)

1780
1781
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
1782
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
1783

* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
1785
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
1786
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
1787
1788

1792
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
1793
1794
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
1795
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
1796
1797
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
1798
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
1799
1800
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
1801
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
1802
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
1803
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
1804
on them.
1805
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1806
1807
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
1808
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1809
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
1810
1811
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
1812
(Robert Collins, #161240)
1813
1814
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
1815
to be reconciled.
1816
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1817
1818
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1819
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1820
1821
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1822
specify a port in urls.
1823
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1824
1825
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
1826
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
1827
1828
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
1829
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
1830
1831
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
1832
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
1833
1834
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
1835

1840
1841
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
1842
1843

1844
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
1845
1846

1847
Watkins, #152811)
1848
1849
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
1850
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
1851
1852
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
1853
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
1854
1855
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
1856
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
1857
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
1858
1859
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
1860
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
1861
1862
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
1863
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
1864
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
1865
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
1866
1867
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
1868
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
1869
1870
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
1871
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
1872
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
1873
1874
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
1875
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
1876
1877
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
1878
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
1879
1880
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
1881
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
1882
1883
API BREAKS:
1884
1885
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
1886
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
1887
1888
* The return value of
1889
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
1890
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
1891
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
1892
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
1893
1894
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
1895
(Robert Collins)
1896
1897
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
1898
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
1899
format.
1900
(Martin Pool)
1901
1902
INTERNALS:
1903
1904
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
1905
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
1906
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
1907
Bennetts)
1908
1909
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
1910
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
1911
1912
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1929
1930
CHANGES:
1931
1932
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
1933
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
1934
1935
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
1936
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
1937
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
1938
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
1939
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
1940
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
1941
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
1942
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
1943
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
1944
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
1945
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
1946
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
1947
(Robert Collins)
1948
1949
FEATURES:
1950
1951
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
1952
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
1953
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
1954
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
1955
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
1956
for further details. (Robert Collins)
1957
1958
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
1959
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
1960
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
1961
(Robert Collins)
1962
1963
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
1964
1965
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
1966
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
1967
1968
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
1969
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
1970
(Aaron Bentley)
1971
1972
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
1973
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
1974
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
1975
1976
PERFORMANCE:
1977
1978
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
1979
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1980
1981
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
1982
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
1983
1984
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
1985
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
1986
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
1987
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
1988
1989
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
1990
(Robert Collins)
1991
1992
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
1993
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
1994
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
1995
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
1996
1997
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
1998
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
1999
2000
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2001
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2002
2003
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2004
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2005
2006
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2007
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2008
2009
IMPROVEMENTS:
2010
2011
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2012
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2013
2014
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2015
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2016
2017
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2018
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2019
2020
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2021
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2022
2023
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2024
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2025
2026
DOCUMENTATION:
2027
2028
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2029
2030
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2031
(Ian Clatworthy)
2032
2033
BUG FIXES:
2034
2035
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2036
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2037
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2038
2039
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2040
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2041
2042
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2043
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2044
2045
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2046
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2047
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2048
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2049
2050
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2051
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2052
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2053
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2054
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2055
2056
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2057
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2058
paramiko.
2059
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2060
2061
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2062
2063
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2064
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2065
2066
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2067
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2068
2069
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2070
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2071
2072
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2073
contains a symbolic link.
2074
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2075
2076
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2077
(James Westby, #140615)
2078
2079
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2080
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2081
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2082
2083
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2084
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2085
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2086
2087
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2088
2089
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2090
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2091
2092
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2093
will remain opened.
2094
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2095
2096
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2097
directory to detect leaking tests.
2098
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2099
2100
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2101
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2102
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2103
2104
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2105
(Rob Weir, #141629)
2106
2107
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2108
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2109
2110
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2111
Merwe)
2112
2113
API BREAKS:
2114
2115
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2116
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2117
2118
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2119
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2120
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2121
2122
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2123
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2124
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2125
2126
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2127
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2128
2129
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2130
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2131
2132
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2133
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2134
(Martin Pool)
2135
2136
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2137
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2138
2139
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2140
class that needs it.
2141
(Martin Pool)
2142
2143
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2144
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2145
2146
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2147
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2148
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2149
2150
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2151
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2152
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2153
(Robert Collins)
2154
2155
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2156
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2157
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2158
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2159
(Robert Collins)
2160
2161
INTERNALS:
2162
2163
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2164
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2165
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2166
2167
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2168
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2169
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2170
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2171
2172
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2173
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2174
(Robert Collins)
2175
2176
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2177
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2178
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2179
2180
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2181
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2182
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2183
2184
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2185
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2186
2187
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2188
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2189
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2190
2191
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2192
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2193
2194
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2195
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2196
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2197
2198
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2199
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2200
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2201
2202
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2203
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2204
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2205
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2206
2207
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2208
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2209
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2210
returned. (Robert Collins)
2211
2212
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2213
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2214
2215
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2216
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2217
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2218
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2219
(Robert Collins)
2220
2221
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2222
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2223
2224
TESTING:
2225
2226
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2227
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2228
2229
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2230
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2231
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2232
makes this behavior available to other users.
2233
(Martin Pool)
2234
2235
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2236
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
2237
2238
2239
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
2240
-------------------
2241
2242
BUG FIXES:
2243
2244
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2245
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2246
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2247
2248
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2249
2250
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2251
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2252
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2253
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2254
2255
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2256
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
2257
(Andrew Bennetts)
2258
2259
2260
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
2261
----------------------
2262
2263
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
2264
in bzrlib/remote.py.
2265
2266
2267
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
2268
----------------------
2269
2270
CHANGES:
2271
2272
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
2273
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
2274
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
2275
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
2276
(Martin Pool)
2277
2278
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
2279
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
2280
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
2281
(Ian Clatworthy)
2282
2283
FEATURES:
2284
2285
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
2286
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
2287
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
2288
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2289
2290
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
2291
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
2292
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
2293
2294
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2295
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2296
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2297
2298
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2299
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2300
2301
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
2302
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
2303
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
2304
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
2305
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
2306
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
2307
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
2308
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
2309
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
2310
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
2311
2312
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2313
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2314
2315
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
2316
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
2317
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2318
2319
BUG FIXES:
2320
2321
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2322
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2323
2324
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
2325
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
2326
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
2327
2328
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2329
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2330
2331
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2332
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2333
2334
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2335
(Aaron Bentley)
2336
2337
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2338
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2339
2340
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2341
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2342
2343
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2344
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2345
2346
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2347
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2348
2349
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2350
2351
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2352
Watkins, #106726)
2353
2354
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
2355
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
2356
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
2357
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
2358
2359
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2360
2361
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
2362
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
2363
#133548)
2364
2365
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2366
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2367
2368
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2369
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2370
#116143)
2371
2372
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2373
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2374
2375
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2376
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2377
2378
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
2379
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
2380
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
2381
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
2382
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
2383
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
2384
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
2385
2386
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2387
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2388
2389
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2390
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2391
2392
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2393
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2394
2395
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2396
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2397
2398
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2399
connections.
2400
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2401
2402
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2403
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
2404
2405
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
2406
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
2407
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
2408
2409
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2410
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2411
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2412
2413
IMPROVEMENTS:
2414
2415
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2416
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2417
2418
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2419
(Aaron Bentley)
2420
2421
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2422
(Aaron Bentley)
2423
2424
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2425
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2426
2427
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2428
2429
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2430
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2431
2432
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2433
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2434
2435
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
2436
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
2437
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
2438
space). (Robert Collins)
2439
2440
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2441
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2442
(Ian Clatworthy)
2443
2444
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2445
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2446
2447
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2448
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2449
2450
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
2451
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
2452
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
2453
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
2454
2455
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
2456
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
2457
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
2458
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2459
2460
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
2461
(Ian Clatworthy)
2462
2463
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
2464
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
2465
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
2466
2467
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
2468
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
2469
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
2470
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
2471
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
2472
2473
API BREAKS:
2474
2475
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
2476
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2477
2478
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
2479
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
2480
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
2481
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
2482
affected. (Robert Collins)
2483
2484
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
2485
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
2486
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
2487
(Robert Collins)
2488
2489
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2490
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2491
2492
TESTING:
2493
2494
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
2495
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
2496
2497
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
2498
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2499
2500
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2501
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2502
2503
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
2504
(Aaron Bentley)
2505
2506
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
2507
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2508
2509
INTERNALS:
2510
2511
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
2512
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
2513
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
2514
its version information. (Robert Collins)
2515
2516
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
2517
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2518
2519
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
2520
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
2521
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
2522
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2523
2524
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
2525
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
2526
present. (Robert Collins)
2527
2528
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
2529
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
2530
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
2531
API. (Robert Collins)
2532
2533
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
2534
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
2535
(Robert Collins)
2536
2537
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
2538
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
2539
2540
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
2541
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
2542
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
2543
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
2544
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
2545
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
2546
2547
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
2548
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
2549
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
2550
2551
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
2552
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
2553
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
2554
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
2555
protocol.
2556
2557
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
2558
(Aaron Bentley)
2559
2560
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
2561
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
2562
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
2563
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
2564
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
2565
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
2566
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
2567
2568
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
2569
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
2570
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
2571
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
2572
2573
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
2574
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
2575
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
2576
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
2577
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
2578
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
2579
2580
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
2581
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
2582
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
2583
2584
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
2585
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2586
2587
2588
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
2589
-------------------
2590
2591
IMPROVEMENTS:
2592
2593
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2594
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2595
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2596
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2597
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2598
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2599
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
2600
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
2601
2602
2603
API CHANGES:
2604
2605
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2606
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2607
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
2608
2609
2610
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
2611
----------------------
2612
2613
BUGFIXES:
2614
2615
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2616
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2617
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2618
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2619
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2620
2621
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2622
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2623
2624
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2625
anymore.
2626
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2627
2628
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2629
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2630
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2631
2632
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2633
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2634
#111664)
2635
2636
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2637
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2638
2639
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2640
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2641
2642
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2643
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2644
2645
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2646
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2647
2648
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2649
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2650
2651
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2652
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2653
2654
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2655
(Aaron Bentley)
2656
2657
IMPROVEMENTS:
2658
2659
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2660
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2661
2662
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2663
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2664
2665
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2666
the repository (Robert Collins)
2667
2668
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2669
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2670
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2671
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2672
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2673
2674
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2675
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2676
2677
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2678
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2679
(John Arbash Meinel)
2680
2681
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2682
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2683
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2684
about 10%).
2685
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2686
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2687
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2688
(John Arbash Meinel)
2689
2690
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2691
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2692
(Robert Collins)
2693
2694
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2695
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2696
2697
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2698
(Ian Clatworthy)
2699
2700
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2701
2702
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2703
2704
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2705
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2706
2707
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2708
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2709
Meinel)
2710
2711
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2712
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2713
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2714
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2715
2716
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2717
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
2718
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
2719
2720
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
2721
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
2722
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
2723
2724
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2725
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2726
2727
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2728
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2729
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2730
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2731
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2732
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2733
(Ian Clatworthy)
2734
2735
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2736
(Alexander Belchenko)
2737
2738
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2739
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2740
2741
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2742
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2743
2744
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2745
2746
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2747
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2748
2749
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2750
2751
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2752
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2753
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2754
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2755
2756
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2757
2758
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2759
(Robert Collins)
2760
2761
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2762
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2763
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2764
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2765
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2766
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2767
2768
INTERNALS:
2769
2770
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2771
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2772
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2773
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2774
2775
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2776
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2777
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2778
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2779
tests have been refactored too.
2780
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2781
2782
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2783
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2784
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2785
list, it will.
2786
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2787
2788
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2789
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2790
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2791
2792
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2793
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2794
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2795
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2796
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2797
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2798
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2799
2800
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2801
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2802
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2803
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2804
(John Arbash Meinel)
2805
2806
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2807
functionality for testing.
2808
2809
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2810
2811
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2812
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2813
2814
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2815
2816
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2817
(Robert Collins)
2818
2819
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2820
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2821
2822
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2823
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2824
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2825
2826
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2827
(Aaron Bentley)
2828
2829
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2830
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2831
2832
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2833
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2834
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2835
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2836
2837
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2838
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2839
2840
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2841
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2842
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2843
2844
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2845
(Marius Kruger)
2846
2847
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2848
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2849
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2850
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2851
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
2852
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2853
2854
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
2855
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
2856
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
2857
many files. (Robert Collins)
2858
2859
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
2860
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
2861
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
2862
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
2863
2864
TESTING:
2865
2866
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
2867
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
2868
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
2869
2870
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
2871
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
2872
2873
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
2874
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
2875
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

2891
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
2892
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
2893
2894
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
2895
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
2896
(James Westby, #122656)
2897
2898
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
2899
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
2900
2901
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
2902

2903
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
2904
2905
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)

2907
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
2908
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)

* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
2913
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
2914
2915
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
2916
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
2917
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
2918
2919
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
2920
individually and as part of revision ranges.
2921
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
2922
2923
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
2924
(Martin Pool, #109169)
2925
2926
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
2927
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
2928
2929
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
2930
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
2931
2932
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2933
2934
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
2935
2936
IMPROVEMENTS:
2937
2938
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
2939
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
2940
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
2941
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
2942
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
2943
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
2944
2945
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
2946
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
2947
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
2948
2949
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
2950
(Elliot Murphy)
2951
2952
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
2953
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
2954
2955
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
2956
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
2957
2958
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
2959
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
2960
2961
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
2962
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
2963
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
2964
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
2965
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
2966
2967
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
2968
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
2969
2970
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
2971
can be slow it is useful feedback).
2972
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
2973
2974
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
2975
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
2976
2977
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
2978
2979
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
2980
output. (Aaron Bentley)
2981
2982
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
2983
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
2984
(Robert Collins)
2985
2986
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
2987
(Martin Pool)
2988
2989
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
2990
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
2991
2992
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
2993
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
2994
2995
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
2996
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
2997
2998
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
2999
3000
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3001
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
3002
3003
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
3004
(Andrew Bennetts)
3005
3006
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3007
3008
* Testing cleanups -
3009
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3010
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
3011
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3012
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
3013
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3014
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
3015
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3016
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
3017
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3018
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
3019
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
3020
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
3021
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3022
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
3023
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3024
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3025
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
3026
(Robert Collins)
3027
3028
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3029
3030
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3031
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3032
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3033
3034
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3035
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3036
3037
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3038
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3039
3040
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3041
3042
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3043
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3044
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3045
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3046
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3047
same location. (Robert Collins)
3048
3049
INTERNALS:
3050
3051
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3052
3053
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3054
3055
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3056
3057
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3058
(Martin Pool)
3059
3060
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3061
(Martin Pool)
3062
3063
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3064
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3065
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3066
3067
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3068
3069
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3070
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3071
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3072
3073
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3074
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3075
3076
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3077
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3078
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3079
3080
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3081
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3082
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3083
3084
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3085
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3086
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3087
3088
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3089
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3090
Martin Pool)
3091
3092
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3093
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3094
3095
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3096
(Alexander Belchenko)
3097
3098
TESTING:
3099
3100
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3101
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3102
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3103
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3104
3105
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3106
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3107
testing. (Robert Collins)
3108
3109
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3110
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3111
3112
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3113
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3114
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3115
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3116
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3117
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3118
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3119
3120
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3121
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3122
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3123
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3124
3125
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3126
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3127
3128
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3129
avoid useless cloning.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3149
3150
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3151
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3152
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3153
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3154
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3155
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3156
and unlock() like so::
3157
3158
work_tree.lock_read()
3159
try:
3160
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3161
finally:
3162
work_tree.unlock()
3163
3164
INTERNALS:
3165
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3166
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3167
object.
3168
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3169
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3170
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3171
3172
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3173
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3174
too. (Robert Collins)
3175
3176
IMPROVEMENTS:
3177
3178
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3179
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3180
Aaron Bentley)
3181
3182
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3183
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3184
3185
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3186
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3187
3188
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3189
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3190
understanding what changes have occurred
3191
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3192
3193
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3194
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3195
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3196
3197
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3198
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3199
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3200
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3201
3202
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3203
#56322)
3204
3205
BUGFIXES:
3206
3207
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3208
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3209
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3210
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3211
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3212
3213
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3214
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3215
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3216
3217
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3218
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3219
3220
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3221
into account.
3222
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3223
3224
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3225
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3226
3227
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3228
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3229
3230
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3231
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3232
3233
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3234
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3235
3236
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3237
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3238
3239
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3240
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3241
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

3246
BUGFIXES:
3247
3248
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3249
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3250
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3251
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3252
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3253
3254
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3255
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3256
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3257
3258
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3259
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3260
3261
IMPROVEMENTS:
3262
3263
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3264
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3265
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3266
3267
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3268
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3269
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3270
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

3273
-----------------------
3274
3275
BUGFIXES:
3276
3277
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
3278
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
3279
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
3280
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
3281
3282
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
3283
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
3284
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
3285
3286
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
3287
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
3288
3289
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
3290
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
3291
3292
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
3293
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

3296
-----------------------
3297
3298
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3299
3300
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
3301
it could be recovered again.
3302
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
3303
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
3304
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
3305
but not delete it.
3306
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
3307
files.
3308
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
3309
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
3310
3311
IMPROVEMENTS:
3312
3313
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
3314
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
3315
3316
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
3317
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
3318
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
3319
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
3320
3321
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
3322
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
3323
3324
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
3325
tests with names that match that regular expression.
3326
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
3327
3328
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
3329
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
3330
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
3331
3332
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
3333
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
3334
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
3335
3336
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
3337
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
3338
Robert Collins)
3339
3340
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
3341
Pool)
3342
3343
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
3344
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
3345
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
3346
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
3347
3348
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
3349
(Robert Collins)
3350
3351
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
3352
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
3353
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
3354
(Robert Collins)
3355
3356
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
3357
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
3358
3359
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
3360
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
3361
3362
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
3363
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
3364
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
3365
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
3366
(Robert Collins)
3367
3368
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
3369
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
3370
3371
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
3372
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3373
3374
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
3375
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
3376
(Robert Collins, #107125).
3377
3378
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
3379
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
3380
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
3381
3382
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
3383
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
3384
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3385
3386
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
3387
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
3388
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
3389
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
3390
3391
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
3392
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
3393
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
3394
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
3395
3396
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
3397
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
3398
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
3399
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
3400
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
3401
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
3402
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
3403
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
3404
header(s).
3405
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3406
3407
INTERNALS:
3408
3409
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
3410
code paths. (Robert Collins)
3411
3412
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
3413
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
3414
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
3415
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
3416
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3417
3418
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
3419
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
3420
3421
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
3422
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
3423
3424
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
3425
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
3426
3427
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
3428
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
3429
3430
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
3431
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
3432
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
3433
(Robert Collins).
3434
3435
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
3436
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
3437
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
3438
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
3439
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
3440
(Robert Collins)
3441
3442
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
3443
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
3444
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
3445
3446
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
3447
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
3448
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3449
3450
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
3451
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
3452
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
3453
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3454
3455
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
3456
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
3457
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
3458
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
3459
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
3460
3461
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
3462
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
3463
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
3464
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3465
3466
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
3467
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3468
3469
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
3470
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
3471
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
3472
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
3473
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
3474
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
3475
3476
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
3477
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
3478
3479
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
3480
help. (Robert Collins)
3481
3482
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
3483
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3484
3485
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
3486
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
3487
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
3488
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
3489
(John Arbash Meinel)
3490
3491
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
3492
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
3493
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
3494
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
3495
useful. (Robert Collins)
3496
3497
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
3498
(Andrew Bennetts)
3499
3500
BUGFIXES:
3501
3502
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
3503
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
3504
3505
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
3506
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
3507
3508
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
3509
properly and is no longer beneficial.
3510
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
3511
3512
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
3513
(Aaron Bentley)
3514
3515
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
3516
the file, and does it faster.
3517
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
3518
3519
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
3520
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
3521
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
3522
3523
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
3524
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
3525
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
3526
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
3527
3528
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
3529
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
3530
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
3531
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
3532
3533
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
3534
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
3535
3536
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
3537
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
3538
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
3539
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
3540
Arbash Meinel)
3541
3542
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
3543
3544
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
3545
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
3546
3547
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
3548
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
3549
3550
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
3551
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
3552
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
3553
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
3554
security hole.
3555
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3556
3557
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3558
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3559
3560
TESTING:
3561
3562
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3563
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3564
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3565
3566
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3567
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3568
3569
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3570
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3571
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3572
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3573
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3574
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3575
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3576
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3577
3578
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3579
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3580
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3581
3582
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3583
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3584
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
3585
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
3586
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3587
access.
3588
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3589
3590
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3591
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3592
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3593
3594
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3595
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
3614
3615
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
3616
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
3617
(Martin Pool)
3618
3619
IMPROVEMENTS:
3620
3621
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3622
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3623
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3624
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3625
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3626
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3627
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3628
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3629
path. (vila)
3630
3631
INTERNALS:
3632
3633
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3634
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3635
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3636
3637
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3638
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3639
(Martin Pool)
3640
3641
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3642
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3643
(John Arbash Meinel)
3644
3645
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3646
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3647
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3648
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3649
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3650
3651
BUGFIXES:
3652
3653
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3654
(vila, #92195)
3655
3656
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3657
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3658
3659
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3660
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3661
3662
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3663
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3664
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3665
3666
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3667
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3668
3669
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3670
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3671
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3672
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3673
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3674
3675
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3676
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3677
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3678
3679

3687
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3688
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3689
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3690
3691
IMPROVEMENTS:
3692
3693
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3694
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3695
3696
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3697
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3698
3699
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3700
3701
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3702
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3703
3704
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3705
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3706
3707
INTERNALS:
3708
3709
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3710
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
3711
3712
BUGFIXES:
3713
3714
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3715
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3716
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3717
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3718
3719
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3720
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3721
3722
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3723
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3724
3725
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3726
(Marien Zwart)
3727
3728
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
3733
-----------------------
3734
3735
SURPRISES:
3736
3737
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
3738
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
3739
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
3740
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
3741
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
3742
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
3743
3744
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
3745
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
3746
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
3747
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
3748
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
3749
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
3750
development.
3751
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3752
3753
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
3754
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
3755
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
3756
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
3757
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
3758
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
3759
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
3760
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3761
3762
IMPROVEMENTS:
3763
3764
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3765
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3766
3767
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
3768
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
3769
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
3770
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
3771
does exist.
3772
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
3773
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
3774
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
3775
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
3776
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
3777
3778
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
3779
(Aaron Bentley)
3780
3781
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3782
(Aaron Bentley)
3783
3784
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3785
(Robert Collins)
3786
3787
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3788
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3789
(Aaron Bentley)
3790
3791
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3792
(Aaron Bentley)
3793
3794
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3795
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3796
3797
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3798
directory. (Martin Pool)
3799
3800
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3801
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3802
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3803
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3804
3805
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3806
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3807
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3808
in docs/configuration.txt.
3809
3810
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3811
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
3812
bind location.
3813
3814
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
3815
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
3816
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
3817
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
3818
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
3819
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3820
3821
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3822
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3823
3824
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3825
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3826
3827
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
3828
(Aaron Bentley)
3829
3830
INTERNALS:
3831
3832
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
3833
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
3834
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
3835
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
3836
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
3837
(John Arbash Meinel)
3838
3839
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
3840
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
3841
(Aaron Bentley)
3842
3843
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
3844
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
3845
(John Arbash Meinel)
3846
3847
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
3848
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
3849
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
3850
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
3851
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
3852
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
3853
3854
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
3855
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
3856
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
3857
3858
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
3859
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
3860
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
3861
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
3862
repository.
3863
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3864
3865
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
3866
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
3867
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
3868
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
3869
3870
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
3871
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
3872
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
3873
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
3874
3875
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
3876
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
3877
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
3878
3879
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
3880
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
3881
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
3882
3883
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
3884
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
3885
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
3886
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
3887
3888
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
3889
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
3890
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
3891
3892
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
3893
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
3894
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
3895
3896
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
3897
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
3898
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
3899
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
3900
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
3901
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
3902
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
3903
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
3904
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
3905
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
3906
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
3907
3908
BUGFIXES:
3909
3910
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
3911
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
3912
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
3913
3914
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
3915
(Aaron Bentley)
3916
3917
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
3918
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
3919
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
3920
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
3921
3922
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
3923
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
3924
#83954).
3925
3926
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
3927
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
3928
3929
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
3930
3931
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
3932
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
3933
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
3934
3935
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
3936
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
3937
3938
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
3939
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
3940
3941
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
3942
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
3943
3944
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
3945
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
3946
3947
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
3948
3949
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
3950
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
3951
3952
TESTING:
3953
3954
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
3955
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

--------------------
3960
3961
IMPROVEMENTS:
3962
3963
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
3964
3965
BUG FIXES:
3966
3967
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
3968
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
3969
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
3970
3971
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
3972
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
3973
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

3975
3976
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
3977
-----------------------
3978
3979
IMPROVEMENTS:
3980
3981
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
3982
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
3983
server, then you can write over the http connection.
3984
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3985
3986
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
3987
(Marius Kruger)
3988
3989
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
3990
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
3991
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3992
3993
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
3994
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
3995
3996
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
3997
(Aaron Bentley)
3998
3999
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
4000
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
4001
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
4002
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
4003
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
4004
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
4005
4006
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
4007
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
4008
should enable you to do::
4009
4010
[/home/user/project]
4011
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
4012
push_location:policy = appendpath
4013
4014
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
4015
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
4016
(James Henstridge)
4017
4018
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
4019
for each file. For example::
4020
4021
$ bzr status --short
4022
A foo
4023
A bar
4024
D baz
4025
? wooley
4026
4027
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
4028
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
4029
4030
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
4031
4032
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
4033
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
4034
4035
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
4036
4037
INTERNALS:
4038
4039
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
4040
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
4041
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
4042
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
4043
4044
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
4045
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
4046
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
4047
4048
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4049
4050
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
4051
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
4052
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
4053
(Alexander Belchenko)
4054
4055
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
4056
Pool)
4057
4058
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
4059
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
4060
4061
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
4062
4063
BUG FIXES:
4064
4065
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
4066
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
4067
4068
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
4069
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
4070
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
4071
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
4072
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
4073
4074
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
4075
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
4076
4077
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
4078
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4079
4080
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4081
matcher.
4082
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4083
4084
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4085
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4086
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4087
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4088
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4089
4090
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4091
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4092
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4093
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4094
4095
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4096
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4097
4098
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4099
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4100
4101
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4102
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
4103
4104
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
4117
4118
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4119
tree from a branch.
4120
(Daniel Silverstone)
4121
4122
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4123
operations are substantially faster.
4124
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4125
4126
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4127
tree from some other url. For example:
4128
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4129
(Daniel Silverstone)
4130
4131
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4132
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4133
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4134
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4135
4136
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4137
(Andrew Bennetts)
4138
4139
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4140
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4141
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4142
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4143
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes

the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4145
4146
INTERNALS:
4147
4148
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4149
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4150
(Martin Pool)
4151
4152
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4153
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4154
(John Arbash Meinel)
4155
4156
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4157
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4158
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4159
(John Arbash Meinel)
4160
4161
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4162
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4163
4164
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4165
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4166
4167
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4168
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4169
Bennetts)
4170
4171
BUG FIXES:
4172
4173
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4174
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4175
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4176
4177
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4178
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4179
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4180
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4181
4182
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4183
4184
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4185
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4186
4187
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4188
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4189
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4190
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4191
4192
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4193
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4194
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4195
4196
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4197
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4198
them as full references rather than integers.
4199
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4200
4201
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4202
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4203
4204
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4205
4206
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4207
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4208
4209
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4210
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4211
4212
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4213
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4214
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4215
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4216
4217
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4218
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4219
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4220
4221
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4222
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4223
4224
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4225
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4226
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4227
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4228
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4229
4230
TESTING:
4231
4232
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4233
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

4245
-----------------------
4246
4247
IMPROVEMENTS:
4248
4249
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4250
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4251
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4252
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4253
4254
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4255
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4256
4257
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4258
4259
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4260
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4261
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4262
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4263
4264
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4265
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4266
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4267
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4268
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4269
4270
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4271
4272
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4273
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4274
4275
INTERNALS:
4276
4277
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4278
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4279
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4280
4281
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4282
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4283
(John Arbash Meinel)
4284
4285
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4286
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4287
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4288
4289
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4290
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4291
(Aaron Bentley)
4292
4293
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4294
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4295
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4296
4297
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4298
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4299
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4300
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4301
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4302
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4303
4304
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4305
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4306
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4307
(Robert Collins)
4308
4309
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4310
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4311
4312
BUG FIXES:
4313
4314
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4315
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4316
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4317
#63360, #66349)
4318
4319
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4320
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
4321
4322
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4323
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4324
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4325
4326
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4327
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4328
4329
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4330
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4331
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4332
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4333
4334
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4335
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4336
4337
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4338
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4339
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4340
4341
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4342
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4343
4344
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4345
4346
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4347
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4348
#32054)
4349
4350
TESTING:
4351
4352
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4353
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4354
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4355
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4356
4357
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4358
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4359
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)

-----------------------
4378
4379
IMPROVEMENTS:
4380
4381
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
4382
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
4383
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
4384
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
4385
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
4386
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
4387
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
4388
4389
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
4390
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
4391
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
4392
4393
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
4394
4395
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
4396
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
4397
4398
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
4399
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
4400
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
4401
(Robert Collins)
4402
4403
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
4404
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
4405
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
4406
(John Arbash Meinel)
4407
4408
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
4409
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
4410
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
4411
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
4412
Pool)
4413
4414
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
4415
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
4416
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
4417
(John Arbash Meinel)
4418
4419
BUG FIXES:
4420
4421
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
4422
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
4423
4424
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
4425
4426
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
4427
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
4428
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
4429
4430
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
4431
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
4432
4433
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
4434
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
4435
4436
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
4437
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
4438
4439
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
4440
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
4441
4442
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
4443
4444
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
4445
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
4446
4447
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
4448
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
4449
4450
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
4451
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
4452
4453
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
4454
(John Arbash Meinel)
4455
4456
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
4457
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
4458
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
4459
4460
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
4461
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4462
4463
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
4464
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
4465
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
4466
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
4467
4468
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
4469
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
4470
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
4471
4472
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
4473
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
4474
4475
PORTABILITY:
4476
4477
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
4478
4479
INTERNALS:
4480
4481
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
4482
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
4483
(John Arbash Meinel)
4484
4485
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
4486
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
4487
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
4488
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4489
4490
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
4491
(Andrew Bennetts)
4492
4493
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
4494
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
4495
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
4496
4497
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
4498
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
4499
4500
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
4501
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
4502
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
4503
4504
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
4505
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
4506
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
4507
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
4508
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
4509
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
4510
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
4511
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
4512
caller to repeat their request.
4513
(John Arbash Meinel)
4514
4515
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
4516
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
4517
4518
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
4519
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
4520
4521
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
4522
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
4523
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
4524
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
4525
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
4526
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
4527
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
4528
4529
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
4530
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
4531
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
4532
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
4533
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
4534
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
4535
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
4536
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
4537
(Robert Collins)
4538
4539
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
4540
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
4541
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
4542
4543
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
4544
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
4545
4546
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
4547
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
4548
4549
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
4550
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4551
4552
TESTING:
4553
4554
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
4555
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
4556
4557
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
4558
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
4559
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4560
4561
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
4562
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
4563
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4564
4565
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
4566
--------------------
4567
4568
IMPROVEMENTS:
4569
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
4570
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4571
4572
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
4573
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
4574
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
4575
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
4576
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
4577
4578
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
4579
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
4580
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
4581
4582
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
4583
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
4584
4585
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
4586
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
4587
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4588
4589
BUG FIXES:
4590
4591
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
4592
4593
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
4594
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
4595
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
4596
4597
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
4598
4599
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
4600
4601
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
4602
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
4603
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
4604
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
4605
4606
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
4607
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
4608
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
4609
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
4610
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
4611
4612
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
4613
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
4614
4615
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
4616
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
4617
4618
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
4619
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
4620
4621
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
4622
in handling of revision properties.
4623
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
4624
4625
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
4626
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
4627
4628
INTERNALS:
4629
4630
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
4631
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
4632
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
4633
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
4634
(John Arbash Meinel)
4635
4636
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
4637
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
4638
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4639
4640
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4641
---------------------
4642
4643
SURPRISES:
4644
4645
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
4646
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
4647
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
4648
specific one '.bzrignore'.
4649
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
4650
a more conservative list than the old default.
4651
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
4652
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
4653
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
4654
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
4655
4656
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4657
to more locations than just branch locations.
4658
(Aaron Bentley)
4659
4660
IMPROVEMENTS:
4661
4662
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
4663
revno:N:branch. For example,
4664
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
4665
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4666
4667
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
4668
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
4669
the path of a file that has been versioned.
4670
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
4671
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
4672
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
4673
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
4674
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
4675
#42517, #42514)
4676
4677
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
4678
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
4679
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
4680
(Malone #3507)
4681
4682
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
4683
(Alexander Belchenko)
4684
4685
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
4686
4687
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
4688
(Robert Collins).
4689
4690
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
4691
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
4692
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
4693
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
4694
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
4695
(John Arbash Meinel)
4696
4697
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
4698
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
4699
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
4700
grained analysis of performance.
4701
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4702
4703
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
4704
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
4705
4706
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
4707
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
4708
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
4709
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
4710
file. (Robert Collins).
4711
4712
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
4713
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
4714
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
4715
4716
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
4717
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
4718
Matthieu Moy)
4719
4720
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
4721
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
4722
4723
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
4724
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
4725
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
4726
the same way you would apply another branch.
4727
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4728
4729
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
4730
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
4731
4732
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
4733
(Michael Ellerman)
4734
4735
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
4736
(Aaron Bentley)
4737
4738
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
4739
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
4740
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
4741
4742
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
4743
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
4744
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
4745
4746
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
4747
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
4748
4749
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
4750
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
4751
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
4752
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
4753
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
4754
4755
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
4756
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
4757
4758
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
4759
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
4760
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
4761
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
4762
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
4763
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
4764
branch is as much as 4x faster.
4765
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
4766
4767
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
4768
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
4769
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
4770
4771
BUG FIXES:
4772
4773
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4774
tests not to run.
4775
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4776
4777
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4778
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4779
4780
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4781
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4782
4783
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4784
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4785
4786
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4787
4788
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4789
(John Arbash Meinel)
4790
4791
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4792
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4793
4794
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4795
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4796
and y.
4797
4798
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4799
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4800
4801
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4802
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4803
4804
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4805
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4806
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4807
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4808
4809
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4810
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4811
4812
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4813
4814
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4815
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4816
4817
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4818
4819
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4820
4821
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4822
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4823
4824
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4825
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4826
4827
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4828
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4829
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4830
4831
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4832
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4833
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4834
4835
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4836
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4837
4838
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4839
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4840
4841
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4842
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4843
4844
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4845
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4846
4847
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4848
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
4849
4850
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
4851
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
4852
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
4853
4854
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
4855
4856
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
4857
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
4858
4859
INTERNALS:
4860
4861
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
4862
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
4863
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
4864
4865
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
4866
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
4867
4868
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
4869
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
4870
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4871
4872
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
4873
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4874
4875
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
4876
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
4877
(Martin Pool)
4878
4879
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
4880
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
4881
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4882
4883
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
4884
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
4885
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4886
4887
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
4888
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
4889
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
4890
4891
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
4892
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
4893
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
4894
4895
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
4896
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
4897
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
4898
4899
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
4900
instead. (Robert Collins)
4901
4902
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

BUG FIXES:
4915
4916
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
4917
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
4918
4919
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
4920
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4921
4922
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
4923
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
4924
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
4925
4926
CHANGES:
4927
4928
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)

4930
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
4931
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
4932
4933
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
4934
4935
CHANGES:
4936
4937
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
4938
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
4939
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
4940
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
4941
4942
NEW FEATURES:
4943
4944
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
4945
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
4946
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
4947
4948
INTERNALS:
4949
4950
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
4951
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
4952
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4953
4954
TESTING:
4955
4956
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
4957
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
4958
4959
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
4960
-------------------
4961
4962
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4963
4964
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
4965
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
4966
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
4967
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
4968
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
4969
will keep the same format.
4970
4971
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
4972
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
4973
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
4974
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
4975
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
4976
4977
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
4978
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
4979
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
4980
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
4981
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
4982
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
4983
indicating the current revision of the branch.
4984
4985
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
4986
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
4987
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
4988
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
4989
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
4990
4991
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
4992
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
4993
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
4994
arrangement.
4995
4996
4997
IMPROVEMENTS:
4998
4999
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
5000
convention. Paths now take the form::
5001
5002
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
5003
or
5004
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
5005
5006
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
5007
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
5008
5009
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
5010
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
5011
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
5012
5013
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
5014
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
5015
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
5016
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
5017
5018
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
5019
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
5020
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
5021
5022
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
5023
5024
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
5025
5026
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
5027
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
5028
commits::
5029
5030
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
5031
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
5032
| xargs bzr re-sign
5033
5034
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
5035
5036
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
5037
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
5038
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
5039
(Robert Collins)
5040
5041
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
5042
5043
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
5044
5045
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
5046
'.moved'.
5047
5048
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
5049
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
5050
5051
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
5052
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
5053
Daniel Silverstone)
5054
5055
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
5056
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
5057
Martin Pool)
5058
5059
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
5060
5061
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
5062
5063
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
5064
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
5065
5066
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
5067
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
5068
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
5069
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
5070
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
5071
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
5072
5073
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
5074
5075
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
5076
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
5077
(Robert Collins)
5078
5079
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
5080
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
5081
5082
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
5083
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
5084
5085
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
5086
5087
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
5088
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
5089
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
5090
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
5091
specification by Martin Pool.
5092
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
5093
5094
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
5095
Belchenko)
5096
5097
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
5098
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5099
5100
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
5101
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
5102
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
5103
5104
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
5105
5106
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
5107
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
5108
(Robert Collins)
5109
5110
CHANGES:
5111
5112
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
5113
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5114
5115
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
5116
5117
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
5118
5119
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
5120
(Olaf Conradi)
5121
5122
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
5123
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
5124
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
5125
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
5126
5127
INTERNALS:
5128
5129
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
5130
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
5131
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
5132
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5133
5134
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
5135
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
5136
tried. (Martin Pool)
5137
5138
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
5139
(Martin Pool)
5140
5141
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
5142
5143
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
5144
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
5145
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
5146
5147
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
5148
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5149
5150
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5151
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5152
paths. (Robert Collins)
5153
5154
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5155
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5156
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5157
5158
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5159
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5160
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5161
5162
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5163
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5164
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5165
5166
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5167
(Olaf Conradi)
5168
5169
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5170
(Olaf Conradi)
5171
5172
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5173
5174
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5175
5176
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5177
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5178
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5179
(Robert Collins)
5180
5181
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5182
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5183
5184
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5185
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5186
check. (Robert Collins)
5187
5188
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5189
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5190
5191
TESTING:
5192
5193
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5194
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5195
5196
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5197
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5198
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5199
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5200
5201
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5202
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5203
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5204
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5205
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5206
5207
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5208
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5209
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5210
5211
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5212
5213
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5214
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
5215
5216
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
5217
------------------
5218
5219
CHANGES:
5220
5221
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5222
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5223
5224
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5225
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5226
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5227
(Johan Rydberg)
5228
5229
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5230
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5231
5232
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5233
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5234
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5235
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5236
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5237
5238
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5239
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5240
used. (Robert Collins)
5241
5242
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5243
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5244
(James Henstridge)
5245
5246
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5247
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5248
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5249
5250
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5251
ignore list.
5252
5253
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5254
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
5255
5256
IMPROVEMENTS:
5257
5258
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5259
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5260
5261
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5262
5263
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5264
5265
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5266
tree. (Robert Collins)
5267
5268
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
5269
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
5270
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
5271
(Robert Collins)
5272
5273
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
5274
that they be kept.
5275
5276
* Tweaks to short log printing
5277
5278
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
5279
(Aaron Bentley)
5280
5281
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
5282
occurs. (Martin Pool)
5283
5284
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
5285
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
5286
5287
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
5288
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5289
5290
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5291
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5292
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5293
5294
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5295
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5296
5297
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5298
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5299
requests.
5300
5301
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5302
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5303
5304
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5305
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5306
5307
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5308
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5309
5310
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5311
(Denys Duchier)
5312
5313
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5314
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5315
5316
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5317
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5318
5319
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5320
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5321
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
5322
5323
BUG FIXES:
5324
5325
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
5326
5327
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5328
5329
* Error when run with -OO
5330
5331
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
5332
(Martin Pool)
5333
5334
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5335
5336
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5337
5338
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5339
ignored by diff and status
5340
5341
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5342
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5343
5344
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5345
5346
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5347
5348
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5349
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5350
5351
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5352
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5353
5354
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5355
(Harald Meland)
5356
5357
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5358
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5359
5360
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5361
5362
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5363
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5364
5365
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5366
(Martin Pool)
5367
5368
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5369
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5370
5371
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5372
5373
TESTING:
5374
5375
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5376
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5377
5378
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5379
5380
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5381
5382
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5383
5384
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5385
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5386
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5387
5388
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5389
5390
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5391
(John Arbash Meinel)
5392
5393
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5394
5395
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5396
If adding a new test script please add that to
5397
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5398
5399
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5400
imported. (Martin Pool)
5401
5402
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5403
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5404
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5405
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5406
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5407
(Robert Collins)
5408
5409
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5410
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5411
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5412
5413
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5414
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5415
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5416
5417
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5418
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5419
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5420
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5421
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5422
(Robert Collins).
5423
5424
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5425
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5426
(Robert Collins).
5427
5428
INTERNALS:
5429
5430
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5431
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5432
5433
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5434
function. (Robert Collins)
5435
5436
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5437
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5438
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5439
5440
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5441
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5442
(Robert Collins)
5443
5444
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5445
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5446
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5447
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5448
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5449
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5450
version. (Robert Collins)
5451
5452
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5453
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5454
5455
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5456
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5457
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5458
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5459
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5460
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5461
5462
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5463
(Robert Collins)
5464
5465
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5466
5467
add()
5468
commit()
5469
move()
5470
rename_one()
5471
unknowns()
5472
5473
(Robert Collins)
5474
5475
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5476
5477
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5478
5479
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5480
Pool)
5481
5482
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5483
query method. (Robert Collins)
5484
5485
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5486
(Denys Duchier)
5487
5488
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5489
(Michael Ellerman)
5490
5491
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5492
(Michael Ellerman)
5493
5494
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5495
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5496
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5497
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5498
5499
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5500
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5501
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5502
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5503
5504
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5505
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

5510
IMPROVEMENTS:
5511
5512
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
5513
(John A Meinel)
5514
5515
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
5516
conflicts.
5517
(Aaron Bentley)
5518
5519
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
5520
a separator, not ':'.
5521
(Aaron Bentley)
5522
5523
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
5524
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
5525
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
5526
5527
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
5528
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
5529
(Robert Collins)
5530
5531
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
5532
has been added that suppresses all output.
5533
5534
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
5535
Adams.
5536
5537
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
5538
Goffredo Baroncelli.
5539
5540
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
5541
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
5542
5543
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
5544
a revision. (Robert Collins)
5545
5546
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
5547
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
5548
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
5549
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
5550
5551
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
5552
5553
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
5554
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
5555
5556
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
5557
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
5558
5559
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
5560
output directory, if one was supplied.
5561
5562
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
5563
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
5564
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
5565
parameters. (Robert Collins)
5566
5567
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
5568
5569
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
5570
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
5571
5572
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
5573
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
5574
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
5575
5576
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
5577
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
5578
5579
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
5580
(Aaron Bentley)
5581
5582
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
5583
5584
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
5585
5586
TESTING:
5587
5588
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
5589
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
5590
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
5591
5592
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
5593
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
5594
related questions. (Robert Collins)
5595
5596
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
5597
is given. (Martin Pool)
5598
5599
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
5600
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
5601
file. (Robert Collins)
5602
5603
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
5604
(Martin Pool)
5605
5606
INTERNALS:
5607
5608
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
5609
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
5610
representation. (Martin Pool).
5611
5612
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
5613
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
5614
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
5615
5616
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5617
(Robert Collins)
5618
5619
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
5620
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
5621
Magnus Therning.
5622
5623
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5624
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
5625
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5626
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5627
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5628
5629
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5630
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5631
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5632
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5633
python path. (Robert Collins)
5634
5635
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5636
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5637
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5638
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5639
5640
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5641
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5642
5643
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5644
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5645
(Robert Collins)
5646
5647
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5648
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5649
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5650
5651
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5652
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5653
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5654
5655
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5656
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5657
5658
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5659
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5660
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5661
(Robert Collins)
5662
5663
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5664
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5665
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5666
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5667
(Robert Collins)
5668
5669
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5670
(Robert Collins)
5671
5672
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5673
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5674
(Robert Collins)
5675
5676
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
5677
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
5678
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
5679
5680
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
5681
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
5682
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
5683
5684
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
5685
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
5686
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
5687
5688
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5689
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5690
5691
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
5692
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
5693
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
5694
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
5695
caller. (Robert Collins)
5696
5697
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
5698
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
5699
(Robert Collins).
5700
5701
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
5702
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
5703
(Aaron Bentley)
5704
5705
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
5706
5707
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
5708
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
5709
5710
BUG FIXES:
5711
5712
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
5713
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
5714
5715
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
5716
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
5717
5718
5719
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
5720
--------------------
5721
5722
BUG FIXES:
5723
5724
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
5725
allow directories to be listed.
5726
5727
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
5728
upgrading branch format.
5729
5730
PERFORMANCE:
5731
5732
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
5733
5734
5735
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
5736
------------------
5737
5738
NOTES:
5739
5740
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
5741
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
5742
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
5743
high-latency connections.
5744
5745
BUG FIXES:
5746
5747
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
5748
Rob Weir.
5749
5750
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
5751
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
5752
5753
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
5754
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
5755
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
5756
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5757
5758
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5759
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5760
5761
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5762
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5763
5764
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
5765
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
5766
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5767
5768
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
5769
for files with only a change to their executable status.
5770
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
5771
Robert Collins
5772
5773
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5774
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5775
5776
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5777
different partial views of history.
5778
5779
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5780
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5781
5782
IMPROVEMENTS:
5783
5784
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5785
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5786
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5787
5788
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5789
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5790
'bzr upgrade'.
5791
5792
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5793
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5794
5795
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5796
Niemeyer.
5797
5798
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5799
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5800
5801
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5802
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5803
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5804
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5805
5806
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5807
5808
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5809
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5810
Gustavo Niemeyer.
5811
5812
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5813
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5814
5815
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5816
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5817
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5818
5819
5820
INTERNALS:
5821
5822
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5823
for your viewing pleasure.
5824
5825
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5826
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5827
5828
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5829
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5830
handling of such circumstances.
5831
5832
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
5833
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
5834
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
5835
5836
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5837
5838
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5839
we call them revisions not patches.
5840
5841
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5842
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5843
5844
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
5845
giving the revision *of that file*.
5846
5847
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
5848
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
5849
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
5850
5851
TESTING:
5852
5853
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
5854
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
5855
5856
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
5857
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
5858
5859
5860
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
5861
--------------------
5862
5863
BUG FIXES:
5864
5865
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
5866
5867
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
5868
(Robert Collins).
5869
5870
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
5871
5872
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
5873
5874
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
5875
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5876
5877
IMPROVEMENTS:
5878
5879
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
5880
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
5881
5882
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
5883
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
5884
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
5885
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
5886
Robey Pointer
5887
5888
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
5889
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5890
5891
INTERNALS:
5892
5893
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
5894
5895
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
5896
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
5897
5898
5899
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
5900
--------------------
5901
5902
IMPROVEMENTS:
5903
5904
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
5905
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
5906
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
5907
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
5908
Michael Ellerman.
5909
5910
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
5911
(Nir Soffer)
5912
5913
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
5914
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
5915
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
5916
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
5917
for the operating system is still tried.
5918
5919
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
5920
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
5921
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
5922
5923
5924
INTERNALS:
5925
5926
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
5927
5928
BUG FIXES:
5929
5930
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
5931
5932
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
5933
branch.
5934
5935
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
5936
read.
5937
5938
5939
PORTABILITY:
5940
5941
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
5942
5943
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
5944
5945
5946
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
5947
--------------------
5948
5949
NEW FEATURES:
5950
5951
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
5952
help with intelligent shell completion.
5953
5954
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
5955
5956
5957
ENHANCEMENTS:
5958
5959
* Much better merge support.
5960
5961
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
5962
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
5963
like emacs smerge.
5964
5965
5966
BUG FIXES:
5967
5968
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
5969
mention revisions that are not present.
5970
5971
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
5972
5973
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
5974
5975
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
5976
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
5977
5978
5979
CHANGES:
5980
5981
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
5982
5983
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
5984
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
5985
--help themselves.
5986
5987
5988
LIBRARY:
5989
5990
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
5991
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
5992
libraries.
5993
5994
5995
5996
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
5997
--------------------
5998
5999
NEW FEATURES:
6000
6001
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
6002
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
6003
6004
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
6005
6006
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
6007
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
6008
6009
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
6010
FOO.
6011
6012
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
6013
6014
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
6015
the Unix command.
6016
6017
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
6018
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
6019
6020
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
6021
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
6022
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
6023
6024
6025
ENHANCEMENTS:
6026
6027
* Faster working tree operations.
6028
6029
6030
CHANGES:
6031
6032
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
6033
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
6034
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
6035
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
6036
6037
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
6038
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
6039
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
6040
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
6041
standard plugins directory.
6042
6043
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
6044
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
6045
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
6046
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
6047
6048
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
6049
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
6050
6051
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
6052
disk.
6053
6054
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
6055
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
6056
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
6057
6058
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
6059
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
6060
6061
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
6062
line options must come before the command name because they
6063
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
6064
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
6065
it.
6066
6067
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
6068
6069
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
6070
is available with ``--short``.
6071
6072
6073
BUG FIXES:
6074
6075
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
6076
6077
6078
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
6079
---------------------
6080
6081
CHANGES:
6082
6083
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
6084
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6085
6086
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
6087
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
6088
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
6089
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
6090
6091
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
6092
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
6093
with the ``--forward`` option.
6094
6095
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
6096
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
6097
field.
6098
6099
6100
ENHANCEMENTS:
6101
6102
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6103
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
6104
6105
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
6106
6107
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
6108
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
6109
6110
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
6111
6112
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
6113
either read or write mode.
6114
6115
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
6116
6117
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
6118
affected that file.
6119
6120
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
6121
6122
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
6123
suggested by LarstiQ.
6124
6125
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
6126
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
6127
6128
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
6129
a filename.
6130
6131
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
6132
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
6133
6134
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
6135
haven't changed since the previous time.
6136
6137
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
6138
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
6139
6140
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
6141
6142
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
6143
6144
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
6145
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
6146
6147
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
6148
options through to an external GNU diff.
6149
6150
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
6151
their contents.
6152
6153
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
6154
from a branch.
6155
6156
6157
BUG FIXES:
6158
6159
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
6160
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
6161
6162
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
6163
metacharacters.
6164
6165
6166
TESTING:
6167
6168
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
6169
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
6170
the tests.
6171
6172
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
6173
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
6174
6175
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
6176
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
6177
6178
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
6179
under a different version.
6180
6181
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
6182
6183
6184
INTERNAL:
6185
6186
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
6187
6188
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
6189
Scott James Remnant.
6190
6191
* Better help messages for many commands.
6192
6193
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
6194
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
6195
6196
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
6197
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
6198
6199
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
6200
6201
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
6202
6203
* New AtomicFile class.
6204
6205
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
6206
6207
6208
PORTABILITY:
6209
6210
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
6211
2.4 is now only recommended.
6212
6213
6214
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
6215
---------------------
6216
6217
ENHANCEMENTS:
6218
6219
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
6220
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
6221
6222
* More default ignore patterns.
6223
6224
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
6225
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
6226
6227
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
6228
6229
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
6230
by Jason Diamon.
6231
6232
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
6233
6234
6235
CHANGES:
6236
6237
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
6238
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
6239
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
6240
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
6241
there are DNS problems.
6242
6243
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
6244
6245
6246
BUG FIXES:
6247
6248
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
6249
6250
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
6251
6252
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
6253
trailing newlines properly.
6254
6255
6256
INTERNAL:
6257
6258
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
6259
Matt Brubeck.
6260
6261
* More tests in test.sh.
6262
6263
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
6264
directory and delete it when done.
6265
6266
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
6267
6268
6269
PORTABILITY:
6270
6271
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
6272
Bennetts.
6273
6274
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
6275
from QuantumG.

6282
6283
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
6284
in the tree.
6285
6286
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
6287
6288
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
6289
and/or directory.
6290
6291
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
6292
directory.
6293
6294
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
6295
6296
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
6297
6298
CHANGES:
6299
6300
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
6301
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
6302
will do for now.)
6303
6304
PORTABILITY:
6305
6306
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
6307
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
6308
Nielsen.
6309
6310
INTERNAL:
6311
6312
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
6313
6314

6328
-----------------------------------
6329
6330
ENHANCEMENTS:
6331
6332
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
6333
6334
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
6335
rather than replacing it.
6336
6337
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
6338
6339
* More help topics.
6340
6341
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
6342
branch.
6343
6344
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
6345
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
6346
6347
* Performance improvements.
6348
6349
* New global --profile option.
6350
6351
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
6352
the root directory only.
6353
6354
6355

6363
6364

6365
committing to stores.
6366
6367
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
6368
6369
BUG FIXES:
6370

6372
6373
PORTABILITY:
6374
6375

6376
installation easier.
6377
6378
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
6379
supported).
