BUG FIXES:
12
13
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
14
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)

bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11

---------------------

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
21
22
CHANGES:
23
24
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
25
26
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
27
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
28
29
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
30
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
31
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
32
33
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
34
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
35
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
36
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
37
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
38
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
39
Andrew Cowie)
40
41
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
42
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
43
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
44
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
45
46
FEATURES:
47
48
* Added mail-mode GNU Emacs mail package as a mail_client.
49
(Xavier Maillard, Bojan Nikolic)
50
51
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
52
53
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
54
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
55
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
56
57
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
58
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
59
See the User Reference for signature details.
60
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
61
62
IMPROVEMENTS:
63
64
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
65
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
66
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
67
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
68
69
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
70
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
71
72
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
73
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
74
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
75
Wouter van Heyst)
76
77
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
78
(Chad Miller)
79
80
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
81
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
82
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
83
84
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
85
(Aaron Bentley)
86
87
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
88
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
89
90
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
91
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
92
93
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
94
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
95
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
96
97
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
98
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
99
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
100
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
101
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
102
103
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
104
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
105
106
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
107
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
108
109
BUGFIXES:
110
111
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
112
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
113
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
114
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
115
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
116
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
117
118
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
119
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
120
121
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
122
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
123
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
124
125
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
126
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
127
128
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
129
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
130
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
131
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
132
133
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
134
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
135
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
136
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
137
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
138
139
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
140
141
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
142
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
143
144
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
145
146
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
147
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
148
149
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
150
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
151
152
DOCUMENTATION:
153
154
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
155
156
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
157
158
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
159
160
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
161
162
API BREAKS:
163
164
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
165
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
166
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
167
168
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
169
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
170
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
171
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
172
173
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
174
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
175
release. (James Westby)
176
177
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
178
(Andrew Bennetts)
179
180
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
181
182
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
183
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
184
185
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
186
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
187
188
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
189
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
190
191
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
192
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
193
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
194
195
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
196
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
197
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
198
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
199
200
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
201
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
202
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
203
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
204
205
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
206
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
207
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
208
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
209
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
210
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
211
212
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
213
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
214
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
215
216
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
217
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
218
219
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
220
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
221
(Robert Collins)
222
223
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
224
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
225
226
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
227
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
228
229
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
230
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
231
232
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
233
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
234
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
235
236
TESTING:
237
238
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
239
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
240
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
241
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
242
243
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
244
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
245
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
246
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
247
implement this).
248
(Vincent Ladeuil)
249
250
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
251
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
252
(Vincent Ladeuil)
253
254
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
255
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
256
257
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
258
259
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
260
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
261
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
262
263
INTERNALS:
264
265
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
266
267
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
268
(Martin Albisetti)
269
270
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
271
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
272
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
273
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
274
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
275
(Martin Pool, #109520)
276
277
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
278
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
279
280
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
281
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
282
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
283
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
284
285
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
286
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
287
288
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
289
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)
290
291
292
bzr 1.3 2008-03-20
293
------------------
294
295
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
296
297
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
298
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
299
features have been added.
300
301
TESTING:
302
303
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
304
directory names.
305
(#202778, Martin Pool)
306
307
308
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-03-16
309
---------------------
310
311
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
312
313
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
314
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
315
316
CHANGES:
317
318
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
319
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
320
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
321
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
322
(Robert Collins)
323
324
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
325
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
326
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
327
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
328
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
329
(Alexander Belchenko)
330
331
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
332
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
333
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
334
(Alexander Belchenko)
335
336
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
337
338
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
339
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
340
341
FEATURES:
342
343
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
344
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
345
346
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
347
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
348
(Jelmer Vernooij)
349
350
IMPROVEMENTS:
351
352
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
353
354
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
355
356
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
357
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
358
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
359
360
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
361
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
362
363
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
364
to. (Daniel Watkins)
365
366
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
367
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
368
(Alexander Belchenko)
369
370
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
371
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
372
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
373
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
374
375
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
376
(Daniel Watkins)
377
378
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
379
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
380
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
381
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
382
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
383
384
BUGFIXES:
385
386
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
387
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
388
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
389
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
390
391
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
392
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
393
394
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
395
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
396
397
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
398
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
399
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
400
401
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
402
(#198793, John Ferlito)
403
404
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
405
#196618)
406
407
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
408
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
409
410
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
411
412
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
413
414
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
415
symlinks (James Henstridge)
416
417
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
418
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
419
420
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
421
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
422
423
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
424
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
425
426
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
427
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
428
429
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
430
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
431
432
DOCUMENTATION:
433
434
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
435
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
436
437
API BREAKS:
438
439
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
440
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
441
(Alexander Belchenko)
442
443
TESTING:
444
445
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
446
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
447
(Robert Collins)
448
449
INTERNALS:
450
451
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
452
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
453
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
454
455
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
456
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
457
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
458
(Alexander Belchenko)
459
460
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
461
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
462
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
463
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
464
465
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
466
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
467
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
468
(Robert Collins)
469
470
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
471
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
472
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
473
474
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
475
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
476
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
477
478
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
479
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
480
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
481
format. (Robert Collins)

---------------------

495
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
496
497
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
498
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
499
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
500
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
501
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
502
(Andrew Bennetts)
503
504
CHANGES:
505
506
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
507
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
508
509
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
510
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
511
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
512
513
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
514
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
515
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
516
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
517
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
518
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
519
(Aaron Bentley)
520
521
FEATURES:
522
523
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
524
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
525
526
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
527
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
528
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
529
(Robert Collins)
530
531
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
532
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
533
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
534
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
535
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
536
537
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
538
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
539
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
540
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
541
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
542
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
543
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
544
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
545
546
IMPROVEMENTS:
547
548
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
549
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
550
551
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
552
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
553
554
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
555
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
556
557
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
558
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
559
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
560
561
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
562
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
563
(John Arbash Meinel)
564
565
BUGFIXES:
566
567
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
568
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
569
570
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
571
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
572
573
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
574
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
575
576
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
577
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
578
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
579
580
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
581
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
582
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
583
584
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
585
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
586
587
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
588
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
589
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
590
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
591
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
592
unittest runner.
593
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
594
595
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
596
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
597
#185907)
598
599
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
600
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
601
602
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
603
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
604
605
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
606
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
607
608
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
609
more characters which should be considered valid.
610
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
611
612
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
613
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
614
615
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
616
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
617
618
API BREAKS:
619
620
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
621
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
622
623
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
624
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
625
(Martin Pool)
626
627
TESTING:
628
629
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
630
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
631
(Vincent Ladeuil)
632
633
INTERNALS:
634
635
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
636
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
637
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
638
639
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
640
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
641
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
642
643
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
644
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
645
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
646
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
647
648
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
649
650
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
651
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
652
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
653
server. (Robert Collins)
654
655
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
656
operate. (Robert Collins)
657
658
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
659
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
660
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
661
662
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
663
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
664
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
665
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
666
667
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
668
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
669
670
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
671
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
672
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
673
674
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
675
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
676
677
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
678
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
679
680
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
681
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
682
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
683
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

690
691
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
692
---------------------
693
694
CHANGES:
695
696
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
697
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
698
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
699
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
700
701
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
702
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
703
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
704
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
705
706
FEATURES:
707
708
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
709
(Lukáš Lalinský)
710
711
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
712
(Aaron Bentley)
713
714
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
715
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
716
717
IMPROVEMENTS:
718
719
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
720
#90049)
721
722
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
723
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
724
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
725
726
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
727
728
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
729
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
730
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
731
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
732
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
733
734
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
735
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
736
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
737
738
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
739
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
740
741
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
742
(Vincent Ladeuil)
743
744
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
745
746
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
747
748
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
749
(Aaron Bentley)
750
751
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
752
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
753
754
BUGFIXES:
755
756
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
757
(Martin Pool, #180208)
758
759
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
760
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
761
762
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
763
(Aaron Bentley)
764
765
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
766
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
767
768
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
769
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
770
771
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
772
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
773
774
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
775
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
776
777
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
778
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
779
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
780
781
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
782
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
783
784
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
785
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
786
(Aaron Bentley)
787
788
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
789
790
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
791
user:pass embedded in the urls.
792
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
793
794
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
795
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
796
797
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
798
(Aaron Bentley)
799
800
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
801
#148087)
802
803
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
804
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
805
806
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
807
#137681)
808
809
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
810
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
811
(Aaron Bentley)
812
813
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
814
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
815
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
816
817
DOCUMENTATION:
818
819
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
820
(Ian Clatworthy)
821
822
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
823
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
824
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
825
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
826
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
827
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
828
829
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
830
831
INTERNALS:
832
833
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
834
(Aaron Bentley)
835
836
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
837
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
838
839
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
840
841
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
842
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
843
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
844
Robert Collins)
845
846
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
847
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
848
849
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
850
(Vincent Ladeuil)
851
852
API BREAKS:
853
854
TESTING:
855
856
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
857
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
858
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
859
860
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
861
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
862
(Robert Collins)
863
864
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
865
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
866
867
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
868
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
869
870
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
871
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
872
873
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
874
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
875
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
876
877
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
878
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
879
880
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
881
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
882
883
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
884
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
885
(Vincent Ladeuil)
886
887
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
888
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
889
890
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
891
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
924
925
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
926
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
927
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
928
feedback but also incur more latency.
929
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
930

IMPROVEMENTS:
953
954
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
955
956
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
957
(Aaron Bentley)
958
959
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
960
Nordhoff, #172612)
961
962
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
963
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
964
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
965
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
966
967
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
968
(Kent Gibson)
969
970
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
971
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
972
973
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
974
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
975
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
976
977
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
978
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
979
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
980
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
981
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
982
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
983
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
984
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
985
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
986
987
INTERNALS:
988
989
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
990
(Vincent Ladeuil)
991
992
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
993
994
BUGFIXES:
995
996
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
997
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
998
999
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
1000
filename to user.
1001
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1002
1003
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1004
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1005
required.
1006
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
1007
1008
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1009
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
1010
1011
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
1012
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
1013
1014
API BREAKS:
1015
1016
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
1017
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)

bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
1021
---------------------
1022
1023
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1024
1025
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1026
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1027
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1028
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1029
1030
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1031
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1032
1033
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1034
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1035
1036
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1037
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1038
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1039
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1040
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1041
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1042
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1043
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1044
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1045
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1046
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1047
from any tree without problems.
1048
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
1049
1050
CHANGES:
1051
1052
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1053
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1054
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1055
1056
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
1057
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
1058
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
1059
(Martin Pool)
1060
1061
FEATURES:
1062
1063
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
1064
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
1065
supported transports.
1066
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1067
1068
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
1069
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
1070
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
1071
1072
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1073
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1074
1075
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
1076
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
1077
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
1078
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
1079
1080
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
1081
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
1082
1083
PERFORMANCE:
1084
1085
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
1086
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
1087
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
1088
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1089
1090
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
1091
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
1092
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
1093
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
1094
1095
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
1096
(Robert Collins, #88319)
1097
1098
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
1099
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
1100
1101
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1102
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1103
1104
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1105
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1106
(Aaron Bentley)
1107
1108
IMPROVEMENTS:
1109
1110
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1111
(Aaron Bentley)
1112
1113
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1114
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1115
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1116
1117
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1118
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1119
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1120
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1121
1122
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1123
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1124
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1125
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
1126
1127
DOCUMENTATION:
1128
1129
BUG FIXES:
1130
1131
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
1132
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
1133
1134
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
1135
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
1136
1137
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
1138
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
1139
1140
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
1141
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
1142
1143
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
1144
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
1145
1146
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
1147
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
1148
1149
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
1150
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
1151
1152
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
1153
(Aaron Bentley)
1154
1155
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
1156
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
1157
1158
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
1159
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
1160
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
1161
1162
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
1163
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
1164
1165
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
1166
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
1167
1168
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
1169
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
1170
1171
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
1172
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
1173
1174
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
1175
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
1176
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
1177
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
1178
on them.
1179
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1180
1181
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
1182
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1183
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
1184
1185
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
1186
(Robert Collins, #161240)
1187
1188
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
1189
to be reconciled.
1190
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1191
1192
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1193
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1194
1195
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1196
specify a port in urls.
1197
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1198
1199
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
1200
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
1201
1202
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
1203
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
1204
1205
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
1206
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
1207
1208
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
1209
(Robert Collins, #153789)
1210
1211
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
1212
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
1213
(Robert Collins, #165304).
1214
1215
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
1216
1217
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
1218
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
1219
1220
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
1221
Watkins, #152811)
1222
1223
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
1224
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
1225
1226
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
1227
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
1228
1229
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
1230
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
1231
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
1232
1233
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
1234
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
1235
1236
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
1237
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
1238
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
1239
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
1240
1241
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
1242
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
1243
1244
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
1245
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
1246
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
1247
1248
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
1249
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
1250
1251
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
1252
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
1253
1254
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
1255
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
1256
1257
API BREAKS:
1258
1259
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
1260
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
1261
1262
* The return value of
1263
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
1264
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
1265
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
1266
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
1267
1268
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
1269
(Robert Collins)
1270
1271
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
1272
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
1273
format.
1274
(Martin Pool)
1275
1276
INTERNALS:
1277
1278
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
1279
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
1280
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
1281
Bennetts)
1282
1283
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
1284
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
1285
1286
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

1302
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1303
1304
CHANGES:
1305
1306
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
1307
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
1308
1309
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
1310
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
1311
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
1312
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
1313
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
1314
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
1315
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
1316
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
1317
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
1318
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
1319
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
1320
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
1321
(Robert Collins)
1322
1323
FEATURES:
1324
1325
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
1326
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
1327
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
1328
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
1329
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
1330
for further details. (Robert Collins)
1331
1332
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
1333
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
1334
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
1335
(Robert Collins)
1336
1337
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
1338
1339
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
1340
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
1341
1342
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
1343
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
1344
(Aaron Bentley)
1345
1346
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
1347
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
1348
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
1349
1350
PERFORMANCE:
1351
1352
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
1353
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1354
1355
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
1356
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
1357
1358
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
1359
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
1360
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
1361
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
1362
1363
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
1364
(Robert Collins)
1365
1366
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
1367
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
1368
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
1369
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
1370
1371
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
1372
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
1373
1374
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
1375
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1376
1377
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
1378
the contents. (Robert Collins)
1379
1380
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
1381
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
1382
1383
IMPROVEMENTS:
1384
1385
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
1386
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
1387
1388
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
1389
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
1390
1391
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
1392
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
1393
1394
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
1395
(Martin Pool, #63894)
1396
1397
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
1398
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
1399
1400
DOCUMENTATION:
1401
1402
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
1403
1404
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
1405
(Ian Clatworthy)
1406
1407
BUG FIXES:
1408
1409
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
1410
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
1411
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
1412
1413
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
1414
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
1415
1416
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
1417
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
1418
1419
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
1420
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
1421
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
1422
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
1423
1424
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
1425
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
1426
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
1427
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
1428
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
1429
1430
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
1431
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
1432
paramiko.
1433
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
1434
1435
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1436
1437
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
1438
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
1439
1440
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
1441
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
1442
1443
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
1444
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
1445
1446
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
1447
contains a symbolic link.
1448
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
1449
1450
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
1451
(James Westby, #140615)
1452
1453
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
1454
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
1455
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
1456
1457
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
1458
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
1459
(Martin Pool, #144633)
1460
1461
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1462
1463
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
1464
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
1465
1466
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
1467
will remain opened.
1468
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
1469
1470
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
1471
directory to detect leaking tests.
1472
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
1473
1474
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
1475
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
1476
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
1477
1478
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
1479
(Rob Weir, #141629)
1480
1481
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
1482
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
1483
1484
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
1485
Merwe)
1486
1487
API BREAKS:
1488
1489
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
1490
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
1491
1492
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
1493
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
1494
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
1495
1496
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
1497
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
1498
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
1499
1500
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
1501
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
1502
1503
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
1504
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
1505
1506
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
1507
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
1508
(Martin Pool)
1509
1510
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
1511
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
1512
1513
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
1514
class that needs it.
1515
(Martin Pool)
1516
1517
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
1518
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
1519
1520
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
1521
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
1522
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
1523
1524
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
1525
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
1526
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
1527
(Robert Collins)
1528
1529
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
1530
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
1531
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
1532
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
1533
(Robert Collins)
1534
1535
INTERNALS:
1536
1537
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1538
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1539
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1540
1541
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1542
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1543
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1544
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1545
1546
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1547
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1548
(Robert Collins)
1549
1550
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1551
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1552
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1553
1554
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1555
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1556
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1557
1558
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1559
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1560
1561
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1562
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1563
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1564
1565
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1566
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1567
1568
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1569
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1570
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1571
1572
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1573
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1574
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1575
1576
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1577
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1578
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1579
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1580
1581
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1582
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1583
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1584
returned. (Robert Collins)
1585
1586
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1587
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1588
1589
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1590
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1591
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1592
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1593
(Robert Collins)
1594
1595
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1596
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1597
1598
TESTING:
1599
1600
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1601
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1602
1603
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1604
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1605
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1606
makes this behavior available to other users.
1607
(Martin Pool)
1608
1609
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1610
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
1611
1612
1613
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
1614
-------------------
1615
1616
BUG FIXES:
1617
1618
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1619
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1620
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1621
1622
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1623
1624
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1625
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1626
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1627
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1628
1629
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1630
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
1631
(Andrew Bennetts)
1632
1633
1634
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1635
----------------------
1636
1637
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
1638
in bzrlib/remote.py.
1639
1640
1641
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
1642
----------------------
1643
1644
CHANGES:
1645
1646
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1647
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1648
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1649
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1650
(Martin Pool)
1651
1652
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1653
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1654
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1655
(Ian Clatworthy)
1656
1657
FEATURES:
1658
1659
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1660
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1661
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1662
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1663
1664
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1665
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1666
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1667
1668
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1669
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1670
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1671
1672
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1673
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1674
1675
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1676
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1677
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1678
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1679
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1680
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1681
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1682
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1683
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1684
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1685
1686
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1687
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1688
1689
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1690
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1691
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1692
1693
BUG FIXES:
1694
1695
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1696
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1697
1698
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1699
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1700
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1701
1702
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1703
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1704
1705
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1706
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1707
1708
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1709
(Aaron Bentley)
1710
1711
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1712
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1713
1714
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1715
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1716
1717
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1718
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1719
1720
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1721
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1722
1723
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1724
1725
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1726
Watkins, #106726)
1727
1728
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1729
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1730
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1731
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1732
1733
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1734
1735
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1736
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1737
#133548)
1738
1739
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1740
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1741
1742
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1743
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1744
#116143)
1745
1746
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1747
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1748
1749
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1750
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1751
1752
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1753
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1754
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1755
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1756
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1757
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1758
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1759
1760
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1761
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1762
1763
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1764
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1765
1766
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1767
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1768
1769
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1770
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1771
1772
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1773
connections.
1774
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1775
1776
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1777
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1778
1779
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1780
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1781
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1782
1783
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1784
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1785
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1786
1787
IMPROVEMENTS:
1788
1789
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1790
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1791
1792
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1793
(Aaron Bentley)
1794
1795
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1796
(Aaron Bentley)
1797
1798
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1799
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1800
1801
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1802
1803
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1804
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1805
1806
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1807
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1808
1809
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1810
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1811
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1812
space). (Robert Collins)
1813
1814
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1815
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1816
(Ian Clatworthy)
1817
1818
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1819
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1820
1821
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1822
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1823
1824
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1825
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1826
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1827
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1828
1829
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1830
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1831
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1832
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1833
1834
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1835
(Ian Clatworthy)
1836
1837
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1838
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1839
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1840
1841
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1842
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1843
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1844
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1845
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1846
1847
API BREAKS:
1848
1849
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1850
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1851
1852
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1853
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1854
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1855
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1856
affected. (Robert Collins)
1857
1858
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1859
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1860
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1861
(Robert Collins)
1862
1863
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1864
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1865
1866
TESTING:
1867
1868
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1869
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1870
1871
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1872
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1873
1874
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1875
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1876
1877
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1878
(Aaron Bentley)
1879
1880
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1881
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1882
1883
INTERNALS:
1884
1885
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1886
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1887
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1888
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1889
1890
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1891
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1892
1893
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1894
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1895
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1896
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1897
1898
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1899
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1900
present. (Robert Collins)
1901
1902
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1903
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1904
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1905
API. (Robert Collins)
1906
1907
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1908
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1909
(Robert Collins)
1910
1911
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1912
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1913
1914
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1915
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1916
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1917
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1918
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1919
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1920
1921
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1922
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1923
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1924
1925
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1926
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1927
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1928
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1929
protocol.
1930
1931
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1932
(Aaron Bentley)
1933
1934
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1935
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1936
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1937
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1938
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1939
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1940
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1941
1942
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1943
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1944
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1945
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1946
1947
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1948
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1949
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1950
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1951
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1952
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1953
1954
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1955
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1956
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1957
1958
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1959
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

-------------------
1964
1965
IMPROVEMENTS:
1966
1967
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1968
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1969
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1970
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1971
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1972
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1973
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

1977
API CHANGES:
1978
1979
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1980
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1981
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)

1985
----------------------
1986
1987
BUGFIXES:
1988
1989
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1990
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1991
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1992
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1993
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1994
1995
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1996
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1997
1998
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1999
anymore.
2000
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2001
2002
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2003
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2004
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2005
2006
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2007
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2008
#111664)
2009
2010
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2011
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2012
2013
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2014
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2015
2016
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2017
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2018
2019
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2020
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2021
2022
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2023
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2024
2025
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2026
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2027
2028
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2029
(Aaron Bentley)
2030
2031
IMPROVEMENTS:
2032
2033
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2034
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2035
2036
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2037
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2038
2039
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2040
the repository (Robert Collins)
2041
2042
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2043
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2044
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2045
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2046
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2047
2048
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2049
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2050
2051
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2052
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2053
(John Arbash Meinel)
2054
2055
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2056
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2057
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2058
about 10%).
2059
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2060
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2061
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2062
(John Arbash Meinel)
2063
2064
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2065
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2066
(Robert Collins)
2067
2068
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2069
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2070
2071
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2072
(Ian Clatworthy)
2073
2074
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2075
2076
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2077
2078
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2079
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2080
2081
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2082
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2083
Meinel)
2084
2085
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2086
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2087
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2088
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2089
2090
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2091
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
2092
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
2093
2094
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
2095
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
2096
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
2097
2098
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2099
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2100
2101
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2102
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2103
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2104
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2105
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2106
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2107
(Ian Clatworthy)
2108
2109
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2110
(Alexander Belchenko)
2111
2112
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2113
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2114
2115
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2116
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2117
2118
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2119
2120
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2121
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2122
2123
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2124
2125
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2126
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2127
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2128
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2129
2130
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2131
2132
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2133
(Robert Collins)
2134
2135
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2136
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2137
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2138
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2139
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2140
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2141
2142
INTERNALS:
2143
2144
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2145
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2146
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2147
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2148
2149
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2150
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2151
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2152
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2153
tests have been refactored too.
2154
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2155
2156
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2157
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2158
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2159
list, it will.
2160
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2161
2162
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2163
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2164
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2165
2166
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2167
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2168
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2169
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2170
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2171
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2172
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2173
2174
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2175
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2176
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2177
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2178
(John Arbash Meinel)
2179
2180
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2181
functionality for testing.
2182
2183
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2184
2185
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2186
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2187
2188
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2189
2190
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2191
(Robert Collins)
2192
2193
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2194
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2195
2196
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2197
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2198
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2199
2200
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2201
(Aaron Bentley)
2202
2203
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2204
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2205
2206
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2207
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2208
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2209
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2210
2211
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2212
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2213
2214
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2215
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2216
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2217
2218
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2219
(Marius Kruger)
2220
2221
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2222
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2223
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2224
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2225
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
2226
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2227
2228
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
2229
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
2230
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
2231
many files. (Robert Collins)
2232
2233
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
2234
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
2235
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
2236
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
2237
2238
TESTING:
2239
2240
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
2241
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
2242
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
2243
2244
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
2245
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
2246
2247
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
2248
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
2249
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
2264
2265
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
2266
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
2267
2268
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
2269
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
2270
(James Westby, #122656)
2271
2272
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
2273
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
2274
2275
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
2276
authentication header.
2277
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
2278
2279
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
2280
2281
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
2282
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
2283

* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
2287
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)

* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
2290
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
2291
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
2292
2293
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
2294
individually and as part of revision ranges.
2295
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
2296
2297
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
2298
(Martin Pool, #109169)
2299
2300
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
2301
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
2302
2303
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
2304
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
2305
2306
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2307
2308
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
2309
2310
IMPROVEMENTS:
2311
2312
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
2313
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
2314
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
2315
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
2316
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
2317
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
2318
2319
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
2320
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
2321
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
2322
2323
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
2324
(Elliot Murphy)
2325
2326
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
2327
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
2328
2329
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
2330
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
2331
2332
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
2333
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
2334
2335
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
2336
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
2337
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
2338
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
2339
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
2340
2341
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
2342
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
2343
2344
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
2345
can be slow it is useful feedback).
2346
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
2347
2348
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
2349
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
2350
2351
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
2352
2353
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
2354
output. (Aaron Bentley)
2355
2356
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
2357
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
2358
(Robert Collins)
2359
2360
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
2361
(Martin Pool)
2362
2363
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
2364
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
2365
2366
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
2367
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
2368
2369
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
2370
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
2371
2372
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
2373
2374
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
2375
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
2376
2377
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
2378
(Andrew Bennetts)
2379
2380
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2381
2382
* Testing cleanups -
2383
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2384
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
2385
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2386
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
2387
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2388
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
2389
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2390
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
2391
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2392
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
2393
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
2394
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
2395
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2396
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
2397
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2398
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
2399
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
2400
(Robert Collins)
2401
2402
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
2403
2404
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
2405
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
2406
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
2407
2408
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
2409
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
2410
2411
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
2412
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2413
2414
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
2415
2416
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
2417
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
2418
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
2419
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
2420
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
2421
same location. (Robert Collins)
2422
2423
INTERNALS:
2424
2425
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
2426
2427
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
2428
2429
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
2430
2431
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
2432
(Martin Pool)
2433
2434
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
2435
(Martin Pool)
2436
2437
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
2438
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
2439
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
2440
2441
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
2442
2443
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
2444
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
2445
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
2446
2447
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
2448
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
2449
2450
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
2451
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
2452
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
2453
2454
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
2455
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
2456
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
2457
2458
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
2459
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
2460
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
2461
2462
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
2463
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
2464
Martin Pool)
2465
2466
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
2467
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
2468
2469
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
2470
(Alexander Belchenko)
2471
2472
TESTING:
2473
2474
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
2475
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
2476
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
2477
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2478
2479
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
2480
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
2481
testing. (Robert Collins)
2482
2483
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
2484
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
2485
2486
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
2487
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
2488
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
2489
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
2490
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
2491
attribute during the test parameterisation in
2492
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
2493
2494
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
2495
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
2496
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
2497
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
2498
2499
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
2500
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
2501
2502
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
2503
avoid useless cloning.

2522
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2523
2524
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
2525
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
2526
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
2527
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
2528
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
2529
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
2530
and unlock() like so::
2531
2532
work_tree.lock_read()
2533
try:
2534
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
2535
finally:
2536
work_tree.unlock()
2537
2538
INTERNALS:
2539
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
2540
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
2541
object.
2542
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
2543
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
2544
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
2545
2546
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2547
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2548
too. (Robert Collins)
2549
2550
IMPROVEMENTS:
2551
2552
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
2553
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
2554
Aaron Bentley)
2555
2556
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
2557
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
2558
2559
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
2560
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
2561
2562
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
2563
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
2564
understanding what changes have occurred
2565
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
2566
2567
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
2568
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
2569
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2570
2571
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
2572
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
2573
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
2574
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2575
2576
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2577
#56322)
2578
2579
BUGFIXES:
2580
2581
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
2582
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
2583
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
2584
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
2585
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
2586
2587
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2588
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2589
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2590
2591
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
2592
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
2593
2594
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
2595
into account.
2596
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2597
2598
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2599
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2600
2601
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2602
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2603
2604
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2605
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2606
2607
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2608
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2609
2610
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2611
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2612
2613
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2614
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2615
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
2618
--------------------
2619
2620
BUGFIXES:
2621
2622
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2623
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2624
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2625
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2626
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2627
2628
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2629
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2630
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2631
2632
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2633
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2634
2635
IMPROVEMENTS:
2636
2637
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2638
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2639
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2640
2641
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2642
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2643
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2644
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

2646
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
2647
-----------------------
2648
2649
BUGFIXES:
2650
2651
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2652
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2653
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2654
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2655
2656
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2657
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2658
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
2659
2660
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2661
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
2662
2663
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
2664
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
2665
2666
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
2667
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

2669
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
2670
-----------------------
2671
2672
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2673
2674
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
2675
it could be recovered again.
2676
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
2677
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
2678
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
2679
but not delete it.
2680
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
2681
files.
2682
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
2683
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
2684
2685
IMPROVEMENTS:
2686
2687
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
2688
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
2689
2690
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
2691
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
2692
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
2693
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
2694
2695
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
2696
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
2697
2698
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
2699
tests with names that match that regular expression.
2700
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
2701
2702
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
2703
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
2704
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
2705
2706
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
2707
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
2708
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
2709
2710
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
2711
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
2712
Robert Collins)
2713
2714
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
2715
Pool)
2716
2717
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
2718
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
2719
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
2720
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
2721
2722
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
2723
(Robert Collins)
2724
2725
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
2726
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
2727
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
2728
(Robert Collins)
2729
2730
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
2731
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
2732
2733
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
2734
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
2735
2736
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
2737
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
2738
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
2739
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
2740
(Robert Collins)
2741
2742
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
2743
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
2744
2745
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
2746
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2747
2748
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
2749
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
2750
(Robert Collins, #107125).
2751
2752
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
2753
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
2754
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
2755
2756
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
2757
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
2758
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2759
2760
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
2761
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
2762
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
2763
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
2764
2765
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
2766
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
2767
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
2768
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
2769
2770
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
2771
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
2772
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
2773
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
2774
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
2775
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
2776
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
2777
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
2778
header(s).
2779
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2780
2781
INTERNALS:
2782
2783
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
2784
code paths. (Robert Collins)
2785
2786
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
2787
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
2788
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
2789
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
2790
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2791
2792
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
2793
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
2794
2795
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
2796
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
2797
2798
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
2799
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
2800
2801
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
2802
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
2803
2804
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
2805
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
2806
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
2807
(Robert Collins).
2808
2809
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
2810
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
2811
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
2812
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
2813
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
2814
(Robert Collins)
2815
2816
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
2817
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
2818
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
2819
2820
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
2821
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
2822
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2823
2824
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
2825
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
2826
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
2827
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2828
2829
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
2830
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
2831
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
2832
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
2833
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
2834
2835
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
2836
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
2837
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
2838
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2839
2840
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
2841
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2842
2843
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
2844
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
2845
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
2846
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
2847
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
2848
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
2849
2850
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
2851
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
2852
2853
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
2854
help. (Robert Collins)
2855
2856
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
2857
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2858
2859
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
2860
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
2861
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
2862
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
2863
(John Arbash Meinel)
2864
2865
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
2866
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
2867
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
2868
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
2869
useful. (Robert Collins)
2870
2871
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
2872
(Andrew Bennetts)
2873
2874
BUGFIXES:
2875
2876
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
2877
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
2878
2879
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
2880
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
2881
2882
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
2883
properly and is no longer beneficial.
2884
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
2885
2886
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2887
(Aaron Bentley)
2888
2889
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2890
the file, and does it faster.
2891
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2892
2893
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2894
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2895
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2896
2897
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2898
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2899
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2900
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2901
2902
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2903
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2904
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2905
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2906
2907
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2908
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2909
2910
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2911
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2912
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2913
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2914
Arbash Meinel)
2915
2916
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2917
2918
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2919
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2920
2921
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2922
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2923
2924
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2925
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2926
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2927
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2928
security hole.
2929
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2930
2931
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2932
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2933
2934
TESTING:
2935
2936
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2937
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2938
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2939
2940
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2941
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2942
2943
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2944
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2945
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2946
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2947
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2948
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2949
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2950
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2951
2952
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2953
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2954
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2955
2956
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2957
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2958
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2959
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2960
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2961
access.
2962
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2963
2964
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2965
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2966
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2967
2968
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2969
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

2987
CHANGES:
2988
2989
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2990
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2991
(Martin Pool)
2992
2993
IMPROVEMENTS:
2994
2995
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2996
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2997
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2998
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2999
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3000
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3001
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3002
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3003
path. (vila)
3004
3005
INTERNALS:
3006
3007
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3008
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3009
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3010
3011
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3012
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3013
(Martin Pool)
3014
3015
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3016
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3017
(John Arbash Meinel)
3018
3019
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3020
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3021
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3022
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3023
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3024
3025
BUGFIXES:
3026
3027
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3028
(vila, #92195)
3029
3030
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3031
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3032
3033
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3034
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3035
3036
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3037
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3038
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3039
3040
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3041
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3042
3043
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3044
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3045
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3046
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3047
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3048
3049
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3050
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3051
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3052
3053
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

3057
-----------------------
3058
3059
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3060
3061
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3062
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3063
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3064
3065
IMPROVEMENTS:
3066
3067
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3068
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3069
3070
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3071
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3072
3073
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3074
3075
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3076
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3077
3078
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3079
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3080
3081
INTERNALS:
3082
3083
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3084
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
3085
3086
BUGFIXES:
3087
3088
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3089
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3090
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3091
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3092
3093
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3094
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3095
3096
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3097
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3098
3099
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3100
(Marien Zwart)
3101
3102
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

3106
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
3107
-----------------------
3108
3109
SURPRISES:
3110
3111
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
3112
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
3113
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
3114
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
3115
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
3116
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
3117
3118
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
3119
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
3120
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
3121
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
3122
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
3123
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
3124
development.
3125
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3126
3127
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
3128
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
3129
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
3130
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
3131
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
3132
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
3133
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
3134
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3135
3136
IMPROVEMENTS:
3137
3138
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3139
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3140
3141
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
3142
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
3143
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
3144
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
3145
does exist.
3146
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
3147
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
3148
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
3149
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
3150
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
3151
3152
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
3153
(Aaron Bentley)
3154
3155
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3156
(Aaron Bentley)
3157
3158
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3159
(Robert Collins)
3160
3161
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3162
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3163
(Aaron Bentley)
3164
3165
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3166
(Aaron Bentley)
3167
3168
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3169
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3170
3171
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3172
directory. (Martin Pool)
3173
3174
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3175
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3176
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3177
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3178
3179
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3180
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3181
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3182
in docs/configuration.txt.
3183
3184
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3185
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
3186
bind location.
3187
3188
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
3189
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
3190
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
3191
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
3192
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
3193
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3194
3195
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3196
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3197
3198
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3199
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3200
3201
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
3202
(Aaron Bentley)
3203
3204
INTERNALS:
3205
3206
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
3207
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
3208
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
3209
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
3210
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
3211
(John Arbash Meinel)
3212
3213
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
3214
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
3215
(Aaron Bentley)
3216
3217
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
3218
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
3219
(John Arbash Meinel)
3220
3221
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
3222
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
3223
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
3224
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
3225
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
3226
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
3227
3228
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
3229
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
3230
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
3231
3232
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
3233
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
3234
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
3235
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
3236
repository.
3237
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3238
3239
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
3240
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
3241
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
3242
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
3243
3244
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
3245
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
3246
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
3247
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
3248
3249
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
3250
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
3251
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
3252
3253
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
3254
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
3255
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
3256
3257
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
3258
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
3259
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
3260
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
3261
3262
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
3263
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
3264
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
3265
3266
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
3267
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
3268
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
3269
3270
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
3271
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
3272
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
3273
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
3274
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
3275
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
3276
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
3277
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
3278
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
3281
3282
BUGFIXES:
3283
3284
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
3285
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
3286
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
3287
3288
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
3289
(Aaron Bentley)
3290
3291
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
3292
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
3293
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
3294
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
3295
3296
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
3297
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
3298
#83954).
3299
3300
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
3301
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
3302
3303
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
3304
3305
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
3306
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
3307
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
3308
3309
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
3310
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
3311
3312
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
3313
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
3314
3315
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
3316
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
3317
3318
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
3319
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
3320
3321
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
3322
3323
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
3324
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
3325
3326
TESTING:
3327
3328
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests

3335
IMPROVEMENTS:
3336
3337
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
3338
3339
BUG FIXES:
3340
3341
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
3342
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
3343
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
3344
3345
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
3346
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
3347
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

3350
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
3351
-----------------------
3352
3353
IMPROVEMENTS:
3354
3355
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
3356
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
3357
server, then you can write over the http connection.
3358
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3359
3360
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
3361
(Marius Kruger)
3362
3363
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
3364
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
3365
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3366
3367
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
3368
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
3369
3370
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
3371
(Aaron Bentley)
3372
3373
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
3374
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
3375
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
3376
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
3377
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
3378
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
3379
3380
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
3381
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
3382
should enable you to do::
3383
3384
[/home/user/project]
3385
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
3386
push_location:policy = appendpath
3387
3388
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
3389
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
3390
(James Henstridge)
3391
3392
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
3393
for each file. For example::
3394
3395
$ bzr status --short
3396
A foo
3397
A bar
3398
D baz
3399
? wooley
3400
3401
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
3402
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
3403
3404
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
3405
3406
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
3407
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
3408
3409
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
3410
3411
INTERNALS:
3412
3413
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
3414
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
3415
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
3416
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
3417
3418
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
3419
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
3420
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
3421
3422
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3423
3424
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
3425
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
3426
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
3427
(Alexander Belchenko)
3428
3429
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
3430
Pool)
3431
3432
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
3433
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
3434
3435
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
3436
3437
BUG FIXES:
3438
3439
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
3440
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
3441
3442
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
3443
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
3444
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
3445
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
3446
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
3447
3448
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
3449
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
3450
3451
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
3452
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
3453
3454
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
3455
matcher.
3456
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
3457
3458
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
3459
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
3460
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
3461
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
3462
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
3463
3464
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
3465
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
3466
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
3467
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
3468
3469
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
3470
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
3471
3472
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
3473
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
3474
3475
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
3476
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
3477
3478
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
3491
3492
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
3493
tree from a branch.
3494
(Daniel Silverstone)
3495
3496
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
3497
operations are substantially faster.
3498
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
3499
3500
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
3501
tree from some other url. For example:
3502
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
3503
(Daniel Silverstone)
3504
3505
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
3506
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
3507
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
3508
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
3509
3510
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
3511
(Andrew Bennetts)
3512
3513
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
3514
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
3515
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
3516
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
3517
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
3518
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
3519
3520
INTERNALS:
3521
3522
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
3523
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
3524
(Martin Pool)
3525
3526
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3527
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3528
(John Arbash Meinel)
3529
3530
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
3531
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
3532
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
3533
(John Arbash Meinel)
3534
3535
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
3536
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3537
3538
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3539
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3540
3541
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3542
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3543
Bennetts)
3544
3545
BUG FIXES:
3546
3547
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
3548
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
3549
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
3550
3551
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
3552
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
3553
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
3554
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
3555
3556
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3557
3558
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3559
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3560
3561
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3562
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3563
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
3564
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3565
3566
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3567
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3568
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3569
3570
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3571
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3572
them as full references rather than integers.
3573
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3574
3575
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3576
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3577
3578
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3579
3580
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3581
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3582
3583
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3584
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3585
3586
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3587
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3588
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3589
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3590
3591
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3592
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3593
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3594
3595
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3596
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3597
3598
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3599
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3600
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3601
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3602
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3603
3604
TESTING:
3605
3606
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3607
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

3610
--------------------

3612
INTERNALS:

3614
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,

bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
3619
-----------------------
3620
3621
IMPROVEMENTS:
3622
3623
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3624
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3625
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3626
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3627
3628
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3629
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3630
3631
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3632
3633
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3634
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3635
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3636
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3637
3638
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3639
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3640
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3641
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3642
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3643
3644
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3645
3646
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3647
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3648
3649
INTERNALS:
3650
3651
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3652
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3653
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3654
3655
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3656
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3657
(John Arbash Meinel)
3658
3659
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3660
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3661
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3662
3663
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3664
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3665
(Aaron Bentley)
3666
3667
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3668
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3669
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3670
3671
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3672
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3673
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3674
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3675
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3676
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3677
3678
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3679
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3680
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3681
(Robert Collins)
3682
3683
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3684
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3685
3686
BUG FIXES:
3687
3688
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3689
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3690
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3691
#63360, #66349)
3692
3693
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3694
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3695
3696
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3697
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3698
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3699
3700
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3701
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3702
3703
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3704
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3705
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3706
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3707
3708
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3709
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3710
3711
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3712
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3713
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3714
3715
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3716
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3717
3718
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3719
3720
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3721
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3722
#32054)
3723
3724
TESTING:
3725
3726
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3727
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3728
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3729
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3730
3731
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3732
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3733
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3734
3735
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
3736
--------------------
3737
3738
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
3739
3740
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
3741
-----------------------
3742
3743
BUG FIXES:
3744
3745
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
3746
3747
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
3748
Arbash Meinel).
3749
3750
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
3751
-----------------------
3752
3753
IMPROVEMENTS:
3754
3755
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3756
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3757
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3758
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3759
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3760
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3761
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3762
3763
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3764
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3765
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3766
3767
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3768
3769
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3770
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3771
3772
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3773
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3774
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3775
(Robert Collins)
3776
3777
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3778
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3779
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3780
(John Arbash Meinel)
3781
3782
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3783
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3784
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3785
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3786
Pool)
3787
3788
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3789
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3790
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
3791
(John Arbash Meinel)
3792
3793
BUG FIXES:
3794
3795
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
3796
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
3797
3798
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3799
3800
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3801
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3802
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
3803
3804
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3805
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
3806
3807
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3808
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3809
3810
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3811
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3812
3813
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
3814
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
3815
3816
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3817
3818
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3819
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3820
3821
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3822
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3823
3824
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3825
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3826
3827
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3828
(John Arbash Meinel)
3829
3830
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3831
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3832
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3833
3834
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3835
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3836
3837
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3838
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3839
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3840
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3841
3842
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3843
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3844
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
3845
3846
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
3847
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
3848
3849
PORTABILITY:
3850
3851
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3852
3853
INTERNALS:
3854
3855
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3856
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3857
(John Arbash Meinel)
3858
3859
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3860
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3861
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3862
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3863
3864
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3865
(Andrew Bennetts)
3866
3867
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3868
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3869
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3870
3871
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3872
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3873
3874
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3875
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3876
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3877
3878
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3879
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3880
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3881
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3882
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3883
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3884
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3885
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3886
caller to repeat their request.
3887
(John Arbash Meinel)
3888
3889
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3890
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3891
3892
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3893
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3894
3895
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3896
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3897
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3898
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3899
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3900
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3901
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3902
3903
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3904
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3905
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3906
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3907
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3908
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3909
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3910
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3911
(Robert Collins)
3912
3913
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3914
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3915
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3916
3917
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3918
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3919
3920
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3921
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3922
3923
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3924
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3925
3926
TESTING:
3927
3928
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3929
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3930
3931
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3932
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3933
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3934
3935
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3936
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3937
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3938
3939
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
3940
--------------------
3941
3942
IMPROVEMENTS:
3943
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3944
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3945
3946
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3947
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3948
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3949
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3950
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3951
3952
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3953
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3954
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3955
3956
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3957
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3958
3959
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3960
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3961
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3962
3963
BUG FIXES:
3964
3965
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3966
3967
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3968
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
3969
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
3970
3971
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
3972
3973
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
3974
3975
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
3976
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
3977
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
3978
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
3979
3980
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
3981
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
3982
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
3983
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
3984
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
3985
3986
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
3987
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
3988
3989
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
3990
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
3991
3992
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
3993
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
3994
3995
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
3996
in handling of revision properties.
3997
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
3998
3999
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
4000
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
4001
4002
INTERNALS:
4003
4004
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
4005
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
4006
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
4007
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
4008
(John Arbash Meinel)
4009
4010
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
4011
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
4012
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4013
4014
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4015
---------------------
4016
4017
SURPRISES:
4018
4019
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
4020
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
4021
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
4022
specific one '.bzrignore'.
4023
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
4024
a more conservative list than the old default.
4025
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
4026
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
4027
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
4028
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
4029
4030
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4031
to more locations than just branch locations.
4032
(Aaron Bentley)
4033
4034
IMPROVEMENTS:
4035
4036
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
4037
revno:N:branch. For example,
4038
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
4039
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4040
4041
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
4042
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
4043
the path of a file that has been versioned.
4044
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
4045
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
4046
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
4047
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
4048
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
4049
#42517, #42514)
4050
4051
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
4052
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
4053
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
4054
(Malone #3507)
4055
4056
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
4057
(Alexander Belchenko)
4058
4059
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
4060
4061
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
4062
(Robert Collins).
4063
4064
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
4065
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
4066
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
4067
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
4068
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
4069
(John Arbash Meinel)
4070
4071
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
4072
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
4073
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
4074
grained analysis of performance.
4075
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4076
4077
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
4078
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
4079
4080
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
4081
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
4082
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
4083
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
4084
file. (Robert Collins).
4085
4086
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
4087
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
4088
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
4089
4090
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
4091
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
4092
Matthieu Moy)
4093
4094
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
4095
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
4096
4097
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
4098
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
4099
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
4100
the same way you would apply another branch.
4101
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4102
4103
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
4104
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
4105
4106
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
4107
(Michael Ellerman)
4108
4109
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
4110

4112
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
4113
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
4114
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
4115
4116
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
4117
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
4118
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
4119
4120
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
4121
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
4122
4123
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
4124
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
4125
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
4126
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
4127
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
4128
4129
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
4130
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
4131
4132
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
4133
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
4134
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
4135
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
4136
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
4137
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
4138
branch is as much as 4x faster.
4139
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
4140
4141
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
4142
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
4143
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
4144
4145
BUG FIXES:
4146
4147
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4148
tests not to run.
4149
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4150
4151
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4152
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4153
4154
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4155
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4156
4157
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4158
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4159
4160
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4161
4162
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4163
(John Arbash Meinel)
4164
4165
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4166
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4167
4168
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4169
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4170
and y.
4171
4172
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4173
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4174
4175
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4176
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4177
4178
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4179
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4180
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4181
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4182
4183
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4184
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4185
4186
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4187
4188
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4189
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4190
4191
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4192
4193
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4194
4195
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4196
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4197
4198
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4199
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4200
4201
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4202
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4203
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4204
4205
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4206
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4207
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4208
4209
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4210
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4211
4212
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4213
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4214
4215
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4216
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4217
4218
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4219
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4220
4221
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4222
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
4223
4224
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
4225
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
4226
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
4227
4228
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
4229
4230
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
4231
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
4232
4233
INTERNALS:
4234
4235
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
4236
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
4237
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
4238
4239
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
4240
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
4241
4242
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
4243
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
4244
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4245
4246
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
4247
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4248
4249
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
4250
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
4251
(Martin Pool)
4252
4253
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
4254
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
4255
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4256
4257
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
4258
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
4259
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4260
4261
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
4262
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
4263
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
4264
4265
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
4266
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
4267
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
4268
4269
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
4270
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
4271
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
4272
4273
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
4274
instead. (Robert Collins)
4275
4276
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
4291
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
4292
4293
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
4294
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4295
4296
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
4297
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

4308
4309
CHANGES:
4310
4311
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
4312
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
4313

4314
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
4315
4316
NEW FEATURES:
4317
4318
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
4319
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.

(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
4321
4322
INTERNALS:
4323
4324
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which

new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4327
4328
TESTING:

4333
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
4334
-------------------
4335
4336
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4337
4338
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
4339
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
4340
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
4341
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
4342
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
4343
will keep the same format.
4344
4345
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
4346
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
4347
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
4348
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
4349
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
4350
4351
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
4352
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
4353
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
4354
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
4355
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
4356
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
4357
indicating the current revision of the branch.
4358
4359
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
4360
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
4361
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
4362
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
4363
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
4364
4365
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
4366
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
4367
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
4368
arrangement.
4369
4370
4371
IMPROVEMENTS:
4372
4373
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
4374
convention. Paths now take the form::
4375
4376
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
4377
or
4378
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
4379
4380
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
4381
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
4382
4383
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
4384
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
4385
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
4386
4387
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
4388
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
4389
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
4390
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
4391
4392
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
4393
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
4394
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
4395
4396
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
4397
4398
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
4399
4400
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
4401
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
4402
commits::
4403
4404
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
4405
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
4406
| xargs bzr re-sign
4407
4408
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
4409
4410
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
4411
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
4412
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
4413
(Robert Collins)
4414
4415
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
4416
4417
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
4418
4419
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
4420
'.moved'.
4421
4422
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
4423
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
4424
4425
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
4426
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
4427
Daniel Silverstone)
4428
4429
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
4430
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
4431
Martin Pool)
4432
4433
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
4434
4435
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
4436
4437
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
4438
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
4439
4440
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
4441
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
4442
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
4443
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
4444
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
4445
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
4446
4447
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
4448
4449
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
4450
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
4451
(Robert Collins)
4452
4453
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
4454
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
4455
4456
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
4457
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
4458
4459
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
4460
4461
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
4462
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
4463
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
4464
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
4465
specification by Martin Pool.
4466
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
4467
4468
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
4469
Belchenko)
4470
4471
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
4472
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4473
4474
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
4475
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
4476
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
4477
4478
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
4479
4480
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
4481
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
4482
(Robert Collins)
4483
4484
CHANGES:
4485
4486
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
4487
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4488
4489
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
4490
4491
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
4492
4493
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
4494
(Olaf Conradi)
4495
4496
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
4497
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
4498
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
4499
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
4500
4501
INTERNALS:
4502
4503
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
4504
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
4505
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
4506
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4507
4508
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
4509
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
4510
tried. (Martin Pool)
4511
4512
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
4513
(Martin Pool)
4514
4515
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
4516
4517
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
4518
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
4519
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
4520
4521
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
4522
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
4523
4524
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
4525
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
4526
paths. (Robert Collins)
4527
4528
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
4529
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
4530
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
4531
4532
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
4533
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
4534
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
4535
4536
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4537
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4538
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4539
4540
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4541
(Olaf Conradi)
4542
4543
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4544
(Olaf Conradi)
4545
4546
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4547
4548
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4549
4550
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
4551
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
4552
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
4553
(Robert Collins)
4554
4555
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4556
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4557
4558
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
4559
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
4560
check. (Robert Collins)
4561
4562
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4563
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4564

TESTING:
4566
4567
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4568
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4569
4570
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4571
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4572
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4573
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4574
4575
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4576
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4577
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4578
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4579
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4580
4581
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4582
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4583
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4584
4585
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4586
4587
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4588
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

4591
------------------
4592
4593
CHANGES:
4594
4595
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4596
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4597
4598
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4599
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4600
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4601
(Johan Rydberg)
4602
4603
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4604
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4605
4606
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4607
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4608
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4609
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4610
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4611
4612
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4613
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4614
used. (Robert Collins)
4615
4616
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4617
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4618
(James Henstridge)
4619
4620
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4621
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4622
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4623
4624
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4625
ignore list.
4626
4627
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4628
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4629
4630
IMPROVEMENTS:
4631
4632
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4633
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4634
4635
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4636
4637
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4638
4639
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4640
tree. (Robert Collins)
4641
4642
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4643
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4644
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4645
(Robert Collins)
4646
4647
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4648
that they be kept.
4649
4650
* Tweaks to short log printing
4651
4652
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4653
(Aaron Bentley)
4654
4655
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4656
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4657
4658
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4659
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4660
4661
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4662
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4663
4664
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
4665
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4666
settings. (Magnus Therning)
4667
4668
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
4669
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4670
4671
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4672
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4673
requests.
4674
4675
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4676
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4677
4678
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
4679
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
4680
4681
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
4682
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
4683
4684
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
4685
(Denys Duchier)
4686
4687
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
4688
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4689
4690
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4691
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4692
4693
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4694
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4695
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
4696
4697
BUG FIXES:
4698
4699
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
4700
4701
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4702
4703
* Error when run with -OO
4704
4705
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
4706
(Martin Pool)
4707
4708
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4709
4710
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4711
4712
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4713
ignored by diff and status
4714
4715
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4716
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
4717
4718
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
4719
4720
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4721
4722
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4723
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4724
4725
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4726
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4727
4728
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4729
(Harald Meland)
4730
4731
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4732
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4733
4734
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4735
4736
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4737
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4738
4739
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4740
(Martin Pool)
4741
4742
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4743
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4744
4745
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4746
4747
TESTING:
4748
4749
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4750
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4751
4752
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4753
4754
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4755
4756
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4757
4758
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4759
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4760
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4761
4762
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4763
4764
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4765
(John Arbash Meinel)
4766
4767
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4768
4769
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4770
If adding a new test script please add that to
4771
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4772
4773
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4774
imported. (Martin Pool)
4775
4776
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4777
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4778
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4779
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4780
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4781
(Robert Collins)
4782
4783
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4784
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4785
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4786
4787
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4788
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4789
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4790
4791
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4792
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4793
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4794
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4795
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4796
(Robert Collins).
4797
4798
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4799
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4800
(Robert Collins).
4801
4802
INTERNALS:
4803
4804
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4805
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4806
4807
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4808
function. (Robert Collins)
4809
4810
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4811
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4812
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4813
4814
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4815
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4816
(Robert Collins)
4817
4818
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4819
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4820
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4821
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4822
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4823
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4824
version. (Robert Collins)
4825
4826
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4827
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4828
4829
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4830
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4831
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4832
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4833
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4834
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4835
4836
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4837
(Robert Collins)
4838
4839
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4840
4841
add()
4842
commit()
4843
move()
4844
rename_one()
4845
unknowns()
4846
4847
(Robert Collins)
4848
4849
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4850
4851
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4852
4853
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4854
Pool)
4855
4856
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4857
query method. (Robert Collins)
4858
4859
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4860
(Denys Duchier)
4861
4862
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4863
(Michael Ellerman)
4864
4865
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4866
(Michael Ellerman)
4867
4868
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4869
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4870
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4871
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4872
4873
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4874
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4875
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4876
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4877
4878
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4879
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
4880

bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
4882
------------------
4883
4884
IMPROVEMENTS:
4885
4886
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4887
(John A Meinel)
4888
4889
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4890
conflicts.
4891
(Aaron Bentley)
4892
4893
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4894
a separator, not ':'.
4895
(Aaron Bentley)
4896
4897
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4898
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4899
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4900
4901
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4902
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4903
(Robert Collins)
4904
4905
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4906
has been added that suppresses all output.
4907
4908
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4909
Adams.
4910
4911
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4912
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4913
4914
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4915
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4916
4917
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4918
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4919
4920
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4921
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4922
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4923
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4924
4925
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4926
4927
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4928
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4929
4930
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4931
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4932
4933
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4934
output directory, if one was supplied.
4935
4936
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4937
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4938
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4939
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4940
4941
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4942
4943
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4944
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4945
4946
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4947
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4948
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4949
4950
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4951
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4952
4953
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4954
(Aaron Bentley)
4955
4956
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4957
4958
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4959
4960
TESTING:
4961
4962
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4963
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4964
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4965
4966
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4967
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4968
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4969
4970
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
4971
is given. (Martin Pool)
4972
4973
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
4974
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
4975
file. (Robert Collins)
4976
4977
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
4978
(Martin Pool)
4979
4980
INTERNALS:
4981
4982
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
4983
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
4984
representation. (Martin Pool).
4985
4986
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
4987
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
4988
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
4989
4990
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4991
(Robert Collins)
4992
4993
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
4994
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
4995
Magnus Therning.
4996
4997
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4998
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
4999
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5000
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5001
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5002
5003
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5004
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5005
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5006
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5007
python path. (Robert Collins)
5008
5009
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5010
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5011
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5012
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5013
5014
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5015
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5016
5017
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5018
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5019
(Robert Collins)
5020
5021
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5022
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5023
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5024
5025
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5026
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5027
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5028
5029
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5030
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5031
5032
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5033
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5034
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5035
(Robert Collins)
5036
5037
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5038
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5039
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5040
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5041
(Robert Collins)
5042
5043
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5044
(Robert Collins)
5045
5046
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5047
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5048
(Robert Collins)
5049
5050
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
5051
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
5052
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
5053
5054
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
5055
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
5056
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
5057
5058
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
5059
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
5060
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
5061
5062
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5063
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5064
5065
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
5066
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
5067
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
5068
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
5069
caller. (Robert Collins)
5070
5071
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
5072
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
5073
(Robert Collins).
5074
5075
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
5076
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
5077
(Aaron Bentley)
5078
5079
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
5080
5081
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
5082
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
5083
5084
BUG FIXES:
5085
5086
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
5087
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
5088
5089
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
5090
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

5092
5093
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
5094
--------------------
5095
5096
BUG FIXES:
5097
5098
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
5099
allow directories to be listed.
5100
5101
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
5102
upgrading branch format.
5103
5104
PERFORMANCE:
5105
5106
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
5107
5108
5109
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
5110
------------------
5111
5112
NOTES:
5113
5114
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
5115
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
5116
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
5117
high-latency connections.
5118
5119
BUG FIXES:
5120
5121
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
5122
Rob Weir.
5123
5124
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
5125
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
5126
5127
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
5128
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
5129
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
5130
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5131
5132
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5133
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5134
5135
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5136
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5137
5138
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
5139
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
5140
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5141
5142
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
5143
for files with only a change to their executable status.
5144
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
5145
Robert Collins
5146
5147
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5148
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5149
5150
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5151
different partial views of history.
5152
5153
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5154
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5155
5156
IMPROVEMENTS:
5157
5158
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5159
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5160
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5161
5162
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5163
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5164
'bzr upgrade'.
5165
5166
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5167
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5168
5169
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5170
Niemeyer.
5171
5172
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5173
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5174
5175
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5176
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5177
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5178
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5179
5180
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5181
5182
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5183
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5184
Gustavo Niemeyer.
5185
5186
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5187
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5188
5189
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5190
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5191
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5192
5193
5194
INTERNALS:
5195
5196
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5197
for your viewing pleasure.
5198
5199
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5200
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5201
5202
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5203
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5204
handling of such circumstances.
5205
5206
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
5207
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
5208
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
5209
5210
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5211
5212
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5213
we call them revisions not patches.
5214
5215
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5216
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5217
5218
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
5219
giving the revision *of that file*.
5220
5221
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
5222
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
5223
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
5224
5225
TESTING:
5226
5227
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
5228
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
5229
5230
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
5231
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
5232
5233
5234
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
5235
--------------------
5236
5237
BUG FIXES:
5238
5239
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
5240
5241
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
5242
(Robert Collins).
5243
5244
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
5245
5246
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
5247
5248
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
5249
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5250
5251
IMPROVEMENTS:
5252
5253
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
5254
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
5255
5256
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
5257
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
5258
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
5259
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
5260
Robey Pointer
5261
5262
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
5263
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5264
5265
INTERNALS:
5266
5267
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
5268
5269
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
5270
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
5271
5272
5273
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
5274
--------------------
5275
5276
IMPROVEMENTS:
5277
5278
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
5279
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
5280
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
5281
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
5282
Michael Ellerman.
5283
5284
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
5285
(Nir Soffer)
5286
5287
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
5288
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
5289
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
5290
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
5291
for the operating system is still tried.
5292
5293
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
5294
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
5295
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
5296
5297
5298
INTERNALS:
5299
5300
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
5301
5302
BUG FIXES:
5303
5304
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
5305
5306
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
5307
branch.
5308
5309
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
5310
read.
5311
5312
5313
PORTABILITY:
5314
5315
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
5316
5317
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
5318
5319
5320
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
5321
--------------------
5322
5323
NEW FEATURES:
5324
5325
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
5326
help with intelligent shell completion.
5327
5328
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
5329
5330
5331
ENHANCEMENTS:
5332
5333
* Much better merge support.
5334
5335
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
5336
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
5337
like emacs smerge.
5338
5339
5340
BUG FIXES:
5341
5342
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
5343
mention revisions that are not present.
5344
5345
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
5346
5347
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
5348
5349
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
5350
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
5351
5352
5353
CHANGES:
5354
5355
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
5356
5357
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
5358
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
5359
--help themselves.
5360
5361
5362
LIBRARY:
5363
5364
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
5365
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
5366
libraries.
5367
5368
5369
5370
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
5371
--------------------
5372
5373
NEW FEATURES:
5374
5375
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
5376
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
5377
5378
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
5379
5380
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
5381
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
5382
5383
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
5384
FOO.
5385
5386
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
5387
5388
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
5389
the Unix command.
5390
5391
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
5392
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
5393
5394
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
5395
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
5396
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
5397
5398
5399
ENHANCEMENTS:
5400
5401
* Faster working tree operations.
5402
5403
5404
CHANGES:
5405
5406
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
5407
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
5408
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
5409
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
5410
5411
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
5412
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
5413
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
5414
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
5415
standard plugins directory.
5416
5417
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
5418
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
5419
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
5420
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
5421
5422
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
5423
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
5424
5425
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
5426
disk.
5427
5428
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
5429
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
5430
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
5431
5432
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
5433
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
5434
5435
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
5436
line options must come before the command name because they
5437
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
5438
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
5439
it.
5440
5441
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
5442
5443
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
5444
is available with ``--short``.
5445
5446
5447
BUG FIXES:
5448
5449
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
5450
5451
5452
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
5453
---------------------
5454
5455
CHANGES:
5456
5457
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
5458
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5459
5460
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
5461
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
5462
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
5463
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
5464
5465
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
5466
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
5467
with the ``--forward`` option.
5468
5469
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
5470
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
5471
field.
5472
5473
5474
ENHANCEMENTS:
5475
5476
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
5477
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
5478
5479
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
5480
5481
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
5482
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
5483
5484
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
5485
5486
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
5487
either read or write mode.
5488
5489
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
5490
5491
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
5492
affected that file.
5493
5494
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
5495
5496
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
5497
suggested by LarstiQ.
5498
5499
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
5500
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
5501
5502
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
5503
a filename.
5504
5505
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
5506
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
5507
5508
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
5509
haven't changed since the previous time.
5510
5511
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
5512
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
5513
5514
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
5515
5516
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
5517
5518
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
5519
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
5520
5521
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
5522
options through to an external GNU diff.
5523
5524
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
5525
their contents.
5526
5527
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
5528
from a branch.
5529
5530
5531
BUG FIXES:
5532
5533
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
5534
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
5535
5536
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
5537
metacharacters.
5538
5539
5540
TESTING:
5541
5542
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
5543
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
5544
the tests.
5545
5546
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
5547
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
5548
5549
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
5550
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
5551
5552
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
5553
under a different version.
5554
5555
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
5556
5557
5558
INTERNAL:
5559
5560
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
5561
5562
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
5563
Scott James Remnant.
5564
5565
* Better help messages for many commands.
5566
5567
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
5568
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
5569
5570
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
5571
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
5572
5573
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
5574
5575
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
5576
5577
* New AtomicFile class.

5589
---------------------
5590
5591
ENHANCEMENTS:
5592
5593
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
5594
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
5595
5596
* More default ignore patterns.
5597
5598
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
5599
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
5600
5601
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
5602
5603
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
5604
by Jason Diamon.
5605
5606
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
5607
5608
5609
CHANGES:
5610
5611
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
5612
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
5613
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
5614
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
5615
there are DNS problems.
5616
5617
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
5618
5619
5620

5627
trailing newlines properly.
5628
5629
5630
INTERNAL:
5631
5632
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
5633
Matt Brubeck.
5634
5635
* More tests in test.sh.
5636
5637
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
5638
directory and delete it when done.
5639
5640
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
5641
5642
5643

5672

5673
5674
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
5675
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
5676
will do for now.)
5677
5678
PORTABILITY:
5679
5680
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
5681
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
5682
Nielsen.

5716
branch.
5717
5718
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
5719
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
5720
5721
* Performance improvements.
5722
5723
