bzr 1.4rc2 NOT RELEASED YET
9
---------------------------

11
BUG FIXES:
12
13
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
14
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
15
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
16
17
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
18
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)

bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
22
---------------------
23
24
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
25
26
CHANGES:
27
28
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
29
30
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
31
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
32
33
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
34
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
35
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
36
37
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
38
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
39
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
40
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
41
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
42
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
43
Andrew Cowie)
44
45
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
46
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
47
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
48
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
49
50
FEATURES:
51
52
* Added mail-mode GNU Emacs mail package as a mail_client.
53
(Xavier Maillard, Bojan Nikolic)
54
55
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
56
57
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
58
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
59
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
60
61
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
62
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
63
See the User Reference for signature details.
64
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
65
66
IMPROVEMENTS:
67
68
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
69
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
70
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
71
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
72
73
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
74
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
75
76
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
77
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
78
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
79
Wouter van Heyst)
80
81
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
82
(Chad Miller)
83
84
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
85
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
86
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
87
88
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
89
(Aaron Bentley)
90
91
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
92
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
93
94
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
95
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
96
97
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
98
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
99
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
100
101
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
102
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
103
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
104
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
105
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
106
107
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
108
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
109
110
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
111
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
112
113
BUGFIXES:
114
115
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
116
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
117
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
118
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
119
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
120
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
121
122
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
123
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
124
125
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
126
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
127
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
128
129
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
130
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
131
132
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
133
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
134
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
135
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
136
137
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
138
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
139
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
140
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
141
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
142
143
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
144
145
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
146
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
147
148
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
149
150
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
151
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
152
153
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
154
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
155
156
DOCUMENTATION:
157
158
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
159
160
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
161
162
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
163
164
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
165
166
API BREAKS:
167
168
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
169
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
170
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
171
172
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
173
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
174
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
175
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
176
177
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
178
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
179
release. (James Westby)
180
181
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
182
(Andrew Bennetts)
183
184
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
185
186
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
187
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
188
189
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
190
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
191
192
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
193
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
194
195
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
196
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
197
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
198
199
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
200
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
201
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
202
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
203
204
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
205
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
206
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
207
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
208
209
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
210
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
211
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
212
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
213
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
214
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
215
216
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
217
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
218
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
219
220
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
221
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
222
223
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
224
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
225
(Robert Collins)
226
227
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
228
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
229
230
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
231
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
232
233
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
234
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
235
236
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
237
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
238
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
239
240
TESTING:
241
242
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
243
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
244
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
245
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
246
247
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
248
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
249
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
250
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
251
implement this).
252
(Vincent Ladeuil)
253
254
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
255
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
256
(Vincent Ladeuil)
257
258
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
259
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
260
261
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
262
263
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
264
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
265
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
266
267
INTERNALS:
268
269
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
270
271
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
272
(Martin Albisetti)
273
274
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
275
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
276
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
277
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
278
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
279
(Martin Pool, #109520)
280
281
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
282
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
283
284
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
285
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
286
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
287
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
288
289
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
290
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
291
292
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
293
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)
294
295
296
bzr 1.3 2008-03-20
297
------------------
298
299
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
300
301
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
302
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
303
features have been added.
304
305
TESTING:
306
307
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
308
directory names.
309
(#202778, Martin Pool)
310
311
312
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-03-16
313
---------------------
314
315
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
316
317
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
318
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
319
320
CHANGES:
321
322
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
323
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
324
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
325
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
326
(Robert Collins)
327
328
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
329
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
330
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
331
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
332
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
333
(Alexander Belchenko)
334
335
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
336
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
337
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
338
(Alexander Belchenko)
339
340
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
341
342
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
343
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
344
345
FEATURES:
346
347
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
348
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
349
350
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
351
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
352
(Jelmer Vernooij)
353
354
IMPROVEMENTS:
355
356
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
357
358
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
359
360
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
361
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
362
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
363
364
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
365
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
366
367
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
368
to. (Daniel Watkins)
369
370
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
371
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
372
(Alexander Belchenko)
373
374
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
375
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
376
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
377
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
378
379
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
380
(Daniel Watkins)
381
382
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
383
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
384
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
385
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
386
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
387
388
BUGFIXES:
389
390
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
391
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
392
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
393
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
394
395
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
396
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
397
398
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
399
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
400
401
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
402
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
403
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
404
405
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
406
(#198793, John Ferlito)
407
408
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
409
#196618)
410
411
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
412
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
413
414
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
415
416
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
417
418
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
419
symlinks (James Henstridge)
420
421
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
422
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
423
424
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
425
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
426
427
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
428
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
429
430
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
431
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
432
433
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
434
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
435
436
DOCUMENTATION:
437
438
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
439
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
440
441
API BREAKS:
442
443
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
444
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
445
(Alexander Belchenko)
446
447
TESTING:
448
449
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
450
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
451
(Robert Collins)
452
453
INTERNALS:
454
455
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
456
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
457
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
458
459
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
460
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
461
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
462
(Alexander Belchenko)
463
464
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
465
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
466
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
467
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
468
469
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
470
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
471
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
472
(Robert Collins)
473
474
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
475
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
476
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
477
478
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
479
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
480
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
481
482
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
483
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
484
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
485
format. (Robert Collins)

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
500
501
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
502
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
503
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
504
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
505
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
506
(Andrew Bennetts)
507
508
CHANGES:
509
510
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
511
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
512
513
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
514
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
515
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
516
517
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
518
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
519
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
520
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
521
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
522
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
523
(Aaron Bentley)
524
525
FEATURES:
526
527
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
528
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
529
530
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
531
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
532
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
533
(Robert Collins)
534
535
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
536
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
537
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
538
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
539
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
540
541
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
542
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
543
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
544
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
545
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
546
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
547
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
548
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
549
550
IMPROVEMENTS:
551
552
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
553
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
554
555
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
556
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
557
558
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
559
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
560
561
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
562
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
563
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
564
565
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
566
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
567
(John Arbash Meinel)
568
569
BUGFIXES:
570
571
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
572
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
573
574
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
575
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
576
577
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
578
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
579
580
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
581
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
582
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
583
584
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
585
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
586
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
587
588
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
589
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
590
591
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
592
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
593
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
594
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
595
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
596
unittest runner.
597
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
598
599
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
600
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
601
#185907)
602
603
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
604
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
605
606
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
607
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
608
609
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
610
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
611
612
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
613
more characters which should be considered valid.
614
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
615
616
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
617
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
618
619
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
620
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
621
622
API BREAKS:
623
624
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
625
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
626
627
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
628
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
629
(Martin Pool)
630
631
TESTING:
632
633
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
634
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
635
(Vincent Ladeuil)
636
637
INTERNALS:
638
639
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
640
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
641
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
642
643
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
644
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
645
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
646
647
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
648
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
649
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
650
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
651
652
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
653
654
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
655
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
656
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
657
server. (Robert Collins)
658
659
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
660
operate. (Robert Collins)
661
662
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
663
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
664
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
665
666
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
667
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
668
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
669
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
670
671
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
672
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
673
674
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
675
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
676
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
677
678
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
679
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
680
681
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
682
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
683
684
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
685
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
686
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
687
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

CHANGES:
699
700
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
701
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
702
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
703
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
704
705
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
706
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
707
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
708
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
709
710
FEATURES:
711
712
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
713
(Lukáš Lalinský)
714
715
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
716
(Aaron Bentley)
717
718
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
719
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
720
721
IMPROVEMENTS:
722
723
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
724
#90049)
725
726
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
727
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
728
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
729
730
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
731
732
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
733
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
734
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
735
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
736
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
737
738
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
739
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
740
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
741
742
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
743
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
744
745
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
746
(Vincent Ladeuil)
747
748
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
749
750
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
751
752
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
753
(Aaron Bentley)
754
755
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
756
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
757
758
BUGFIXES:
759
760
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
761
(Martin Pool, #180208)
762
763
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
764
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
765
766
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
767
(Aaron Bentley)
768
769
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
770
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
771
772
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
773
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
774
775
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
776
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
777
778
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
779
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
780
781
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
782
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
783
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
784
785
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
786
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
787
788
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
789
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
790
(Aaron Bentley)
791
792
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
793
794
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
795
user:pass embedded in the urls.
796
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
797
798
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
799
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
800
801
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
802
(Aaron Bentley)
803
804
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
805
#148087)
806
807
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
808
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
809
810
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
811
#137681)
812
813
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
814
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
815
(Aaron Bentley)
816
817
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
818
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
819
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
820
821
DOCUMENTATION:
822
823
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
824
(Ian Clatworthy)
825
826
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
827
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
828
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
829
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
830
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
831
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
832
833
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
834
835
INTERNALS:
836
837
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
838
(Aaron Bentley)
839
840
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
841
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
842
843
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
844
845
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
846
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
847
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
848
Robert Collins)
849
850
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
851
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
852
853
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
854
(Vincent Ladeuil)
855
856
API BREAKS:
857
858
TESTING:
859
860
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
861
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
862
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
863
864
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
865
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
866
(Robert Collins)
867
868
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
869
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
870
871
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
872
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
873
874
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
875
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
876
877
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
878
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
879
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
880
881
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
882
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
883
884
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
885
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
886
887
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
888
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
889
(Vincent Ladeuil)
890
891
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
892
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
893
894
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
895
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
928
929
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
930
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
931
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
932
feedback but also incur more latency.
933
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)

bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
954
---------------------
955
956
IMPROVEMENTS:
957
958
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
959
960
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
961
(Aaron Bentley)
962
963
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
964
Nordhoff, #172612)
965
966
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
967
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
968
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
969
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
970
971
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
972
(Kent Gibson)
973
974
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
975
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
976
977
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
978
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
979
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
980
981
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
982
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
983
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
984
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
985
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
986
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
987
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
988
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
989
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
990
991
INTERNALS:
992
993
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
994
(Vincent Ladeuil)
995
996
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
997
998
BUGFIXES:
999
1000
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
1001
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
1002
1003
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
1004
filename to user.
1005
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1006
1007
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1008
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1009
required.
1010
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
1011
1012
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1013
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
1014
1015
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
1016
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
1017
1018
API BREAKS:
1019
1020
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
1021
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
1022
1023
1024
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
1025
---------------------
1026
1027
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1028
1029
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1030
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1031
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1032
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1033
1034
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1035
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1036
1037
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1038
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1039
1040
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1041
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1042
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1043
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1044
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1045
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1046
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1047
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1048
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1049
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1050
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1051
from any tree without problems.
1052
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
1053
1054
CHANGES:
1055
1056
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1057
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1058
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1059
1060
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
1061
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
1062
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
1063
(Martin Pool)
1064
1065
FEATURES:
1066
1067
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
1068
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
1069
supported transports.
1070
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1071
1072
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
1073
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
1074
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
1075
1076
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1077
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1078
1079
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
1080
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
1081
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
1082
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
1083
1084
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
1085
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
1086
1087
PERFORMANCE:
1088
1089
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
1090
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
1091
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
1092
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1093
1094
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
1095
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
1096
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
1097
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
1098
1099
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
1100
(Robert Collins, #88319)
1101
1102
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
1103
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
1104
1105
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1106
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1107
1108
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1109
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1110
(Aaron Bentley)
1111
1112
IMPROVEMENTS:
1113
1114
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1115
(Aaron Bentley)
1116
1117
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1118
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1119
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1120
1121
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1122
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1123
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1124
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1125
1126
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1127
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1128
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1129
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
1130
1131
DOCUMENTATION:
1132
1133
BUG FIXES:
1134
1135
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
1136
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
1137
1138
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
1139
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
1140
1141
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
1142
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
1143
1144
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
1145
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
1146
1147
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
1148
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
1149
1150
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
1151
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
1152
1153
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
1154
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
1155
1156
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
1157
(Aaron Bentley)
1158
1159
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
1160
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
1161
1162
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
1163
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
1164
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
1165
1166
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
1167
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
1168
1169
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
1170
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
1171
1172
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
1173
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
1174
1175
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
1176
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
1177
1178
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
1179
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
1180
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
1181
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
1182
on them.
1183
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1184
1185
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
1186
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1187
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
1188
1189
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
1190
(Robert Collins, #161240)
1191
1192
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
1193
to be reconciled.
1194
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1195
1196
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1197
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1198
1199
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1200
specify a port in urls.
1201
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1202
1203
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
1204
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
1205
1206
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
1207
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
1208
1209
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
1210
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
1211
1212
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
1213
(Robert Collins, #153789)
1214
1215
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
1216
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
1217
(Robert Collins, #165304).
1218
1219
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
1220
1221
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
1222
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
1223
1224
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
1225
Watkins, #152811)
1226
1227
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
1228
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
1229
1230
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
1231
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
1232
1233
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
1234
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
1235
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
1236
1237
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
1238
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
1239
1240
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
1241
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
1242
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
1243
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
1244
1245
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
1246
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
1247
1248
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
1249
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
1250
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
1251
1252
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
1253
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
1254
1255
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
1256
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
1257
1258
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
1259
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
1260
1261
API BREAKS:
1262
1263
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
1264
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
1265
1266
* The return value of
1267
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
1268
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
1269
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
1270
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
1271
1272
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
1273
(Robert Collins)
1274
1275
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
1276
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
1277
format.
1278
(Martin Pool)
1279
1280
INTERNALS:
1281
1282
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
1283
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
1284
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
1285
Bennetts)
1286
1287
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
1288
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
1289
1290
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

1306
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1307
1308
CHANGES:
1309
1310
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
1311
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
1312
1313
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
1314
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
1315
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
1316
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
1317
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
1318
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
1319
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
1320
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
1321
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
1322
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
1323
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
1324
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
1325
(Robert Collins)
1326
1327
FEATURES:
1328
1329
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
1330
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
1331
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
1332
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
1333
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
1334
for further details. (Robert Collins)
1335
1336
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
1337
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
1338
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
1339
(Robert Collins)
1340
1341
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
1342
1343
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
1344
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
1345
1346
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
1347
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
1348
(Aaron Bentley)
1349
1350
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
1351
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
1352
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
1353
1354
PERFORMANCE:
1355
1356
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
1357
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1358
1359
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
1360
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
1361
1362
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
1363
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
1364
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
1365
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
1366
1367
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
1368
(Robert Collins)
1369
1370
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
1371
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
1372
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
1373
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
1374
1375
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
1376
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
1377
1378
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
1379
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1380
1381
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
1382
the contents. (Robert Collins)
1383
1384
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
1385
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
1386
1387
IMPROVEMENTS:
1388
1389
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
1390
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
1391
1392
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
1393
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
1394
1395
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
1396
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
1397
1398
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
1399
(Martin Pool, #63894)
1400
1401
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
1402
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
1403
1404
DOCUMENTATION:
1405
1406
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
1407
1408
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
1409
(Ian Clatworthy)
1410
1411
BUG FIXES:
1412
1413
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
1414
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
1415
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
1416
1417
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
1418
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
1419
1420
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.

1423
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
1424
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
1425
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
1426
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
1427
1428
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
1429
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
1430
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
1431
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
1432
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
1433
1434
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
1435
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
1436
paramiko.
1437
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
1438
1439
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1440
1441
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
1442
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
1443
1444
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
1445
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
1446
1447
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
1448
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
1449
1450
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
1451
contains a symbolic link.
1452
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
1453
1454
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
1455
(James Westby, #140615)
1456
1457
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
1458
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
1459
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
1460
1461
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
1462
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
1463
(Martin Pool, #144633)
1464
1465
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1466
1467
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
1468
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
1469
1470
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
1471
will remain opened.
1472
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
1473
1474
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
1475
directory to detect leaking tests.
1476
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
1477
1478
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
1479
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
1480
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
1481
1482
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
1483
(Rob Weir, #141629)
1484
1485
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
1486
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
1487
1488
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
1489
Merwe)
1490
1491
API BREAKS:
1492
1493
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
1494
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
1495
1496
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
1497
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
1498
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
1499
1500
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
1501
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
1502
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
1503
1504
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
1505
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
1506
1507
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
1508
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
1509
1510
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
1511
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
1512
(Martin Pool)
1513
1514
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
1515
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
1516
1517
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
1518
class that needs it.
1519
(Martin Pool)
1520
1521
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
1522
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
1523
1524
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
1525
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
1526
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
1527
1528
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
1529
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
1530
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
1531
(Robert Collins)
1532
1533
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
1534
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
1535
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
1536
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
1537
(Robert Collins)
1538
1539
INTERNALS:
1540
1541
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1542
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1543
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1544
1545
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1546
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1547
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1548
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1549
1550
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1551
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1552
(Robert Collins)
1553
1554
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1555
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1556
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1557
1558
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1559
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1560
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1561
1562
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1563
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1564
1565
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1566
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1567
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1568
1569
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1570
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1571
1572
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1573
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1574
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1575
1576
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1577
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1578
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1579
1580
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1581
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1582
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1583
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1584
1585
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1586
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1587
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1588
returned. (Robert Collins)
1589
1590
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1591
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1592
1593
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1594
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1595
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1596
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1597
(Robert Collins)
1598
1599
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1600
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1601
1602
TESTING:
1603
1604
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1605
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1606
1607
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1608
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1609
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1610
makes this behavior available to other users.
1611
(Martin Pool)
1612
1613
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1614
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
1615
1616
1617
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
1618
-------------------
1619
1620
BUG FIXES:
1621
1622
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1623
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1624
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1625
1626
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1627
1628
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1629
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1630
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1631
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1632
1633
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1634
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
1635
(Andrew Bennetts)
1636
1637
1638
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1639
----------------------
1640
1641
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
1642
in bzrlib/remote.py.
1643
1644
1645
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
1646
----------------------
1647
1648
CHANGES:
1649
1650
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1651
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1652
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1653
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1654
(Martin Pool)
1655
1656
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1657
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1658
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1659
(Ian Clatworthy)
1660
1661
FEATURES:
1662
1663
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1664
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1665
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1666
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1667
1668
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1669
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1670
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1671
1672
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1673
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1674
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1675
1676
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1677
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1678
1679
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1680
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1681
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1682
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1683
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1684
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1685
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1686
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1687
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1688
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1689
1690
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1691
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1692
1693
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1694
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1695
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1696
1697
BUG FIXES:
1698
1699
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1700
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1701
1702
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1703
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1704
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1705
1706
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1707
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1708
1709
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1710
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1711
1712
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1713
(Aaron Bentley)
1714
1715
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1716
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1717
1718
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1719
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1720
1721
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1722
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1723
1724
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1725
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1726
1727
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1728
1729
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1730
Watkins, #106726)
1731
1732
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1733
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1734
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1735
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1736
1737
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1738
1739
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1740
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1741
#133548)
1742
1743
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1744
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1745
1746
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1747
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1748
#116143)
1749
1750
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1751
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1752
1753
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1754
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1755
1756
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1757
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1758
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1759
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1760
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1761
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1762
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1763
1764
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1765
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1766
1767
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1768
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1769
1770
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1771
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1772
1773
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1774
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1775
1776
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1777
connections.
1778
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1779
1780
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1781
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1782
1783
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1784
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1785
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1786
1787
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1788
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1789
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1790
1791
IMPROVEMENTS:
1792
1793
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1794
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1795
1796
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1797
(Aaron Bentley)
1798
1799
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1800
(Aaron Bentley)
1801
1802
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1803
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1804
1805
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1806
1807
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1808
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1809
1810
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1811
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1812
1813
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1814
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1815
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1816
space). (Robert Collins)
1817
1818
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1819
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1820
(Ian Clatworthy)
1821
1822
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1823
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1824
1825
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1826
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1827
1828
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1829
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1830
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1831
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1832
1833
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1834
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1835
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1836
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1837
1838
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1839
(Ian Clatworthy)
1840
1841
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1842
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1843
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1844
1845
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1846
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1847
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1848
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1849
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1850
1851
API BREAKS:
1852
1853
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1854
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1855
1856
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1857
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1858
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1859
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1860
affected. (Robert Collins)
1861
1862
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1863
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1864
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1865
(Robert Collins)
1866
1867
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1868
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1869
1870
TESTING:
1871
1872
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1873
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1874
1875
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1876
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1877
1878
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1879
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1880
1881
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1882
(Aaron Bentley)
1883
1884
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1885
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1886
1887
INTERNALS:
1888
1889
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1890
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1891
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1892
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1893
1894
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1895
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1896
1897
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1898
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1899
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1900
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1901
1902
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1903
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1904
present. (Robert Collins)
1905
1906
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1907
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1908
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1909
API. (Robert Collins)
1910
1911
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1912
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1913
(Robert Collins)
1914
1915
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1916
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1917
1918
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1919
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1920
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1921
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1922
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1923
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1924
1925
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1926
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1927
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1928
1929
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1930
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1931
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1932
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1933
protocol.
1934
1935
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1936
(Aaron Bentley)
1937
1938
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1939
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1940
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1941
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1942
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1943
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1944
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1945
1946
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1947
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1948
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1949
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1950
1951
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1952
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1953
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1954
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1955
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1956
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1957
1958
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1959
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1960
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1961
1962
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1963
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

-------------------
1968
1969
IMPROVEMENTS:
1970
1971
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1972
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1973
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1974
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1975
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1976
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1977
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
1979
1980
1981
API CHANGES:
1982
1983
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1984
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1985
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
1986

1988
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
1989
----------------------
1990
1991
BUGFIXES:
1992
1993
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1994
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1995
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1996
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1997
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1998
1999
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2000
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2001
2002
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2003
anymore.
2004
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2005
2006
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2007
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2008
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2009
2010
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2011
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2012
#111664)
2013
2014
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2015
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2016
2017
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2018
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2019
2020
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2021
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2022
2023
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2024
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2025
2026
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2027
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2028
2029
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2030
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2031
2032
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2033
(Aaron Bentley)
2034
2035
IMPROVEMENTS:
2036
2037
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2038
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2039
2040
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2041
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2042
2043
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2044
the repository (Robert Collins)
2045
2046
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2047
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2048
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2049
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2050
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2051
2052
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2053
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2054
2055
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2056
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2057
(John Arbash Meinel)
2058
2059
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2060
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2061
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2062
about 10%).
2063
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2064
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2065
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2066
(John Arbash Meinel)
2067
2068
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2069
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2070
(Robert Collins)
2071
2072
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2073
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2074
2075
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2076
(Ian Clatworthy)
2077
2078
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2079
2080
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2081
2082
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2083
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2084
2085
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2086
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2087
Meinel)
2088
2089
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2090
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2091
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2092
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2093
2094
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2095
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
2096
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
2097
2098
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
2099
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
2100
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
2101
2102
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2103
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2104
2105
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2106
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2107
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2108
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2109
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2110
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2111
(Ian Clatworthy)
2112
2113
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2114
(Alexander Belchenko)
2115
2116
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2117
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2118
2119
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2120
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2121
2122
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2123
2124
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2125
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2126
2127
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2128
2129
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2130
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2131
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2132
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2133
2134
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2135
2136
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2137
(Robert Collins)
2138
2139
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2140
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2141
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2142
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2143
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2144
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2145
2146
INTERNALS:
2147
2148
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2149
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2150
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2151
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2152
2153
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2154
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2155
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2156
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2157
tests have been refactored too.
2158
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2159
2160
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2161
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2162
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2163
list, it will.
2164
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2165
2166
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2167
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2168
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2169
2170
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2171
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2172
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2173
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2174
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2175
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2176
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2177
2178
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2179
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2180
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2181
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2182
(John Arbash Meinel)
2183
2184
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2185
functionality for testing.
2186
2187
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2188
2189
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2190
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2191
2192
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2193
2194
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2195
(Robert Collins)
2196
2197
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2198
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2199
2200
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2201
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2202
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2203
2204
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2205
(Aaron Bentley)
2206
2207
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2208
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2209
2210
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2211
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2212
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2213
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2214
2215
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2216
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2217
2218
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2219
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2220
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2221
2222
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2223
(Marius Kruger)
2224
2225
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2226
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2227
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2228
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2229
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
2230
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2231
2232
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
2233
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
2234
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
2235
many files. (Robert Collins)
2236
2237
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
2238
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
2239
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
2240
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
2241
2242
TESTING:
2243
2244
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
2245
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
2246
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
2247
2248
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
2249
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
2250
2251
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
2252
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
2253
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
2268
2269
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
2270
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
2271
2272
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
2273
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
2274
(James Westby, #122656)
2275
2276
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
2277
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
2278
2279
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
2280
authentication header.
2281
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
2282
2283
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
2284
2285
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
2286
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
2287

* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
2291
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)

* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
2294
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
2295
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
2296
2297
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
2298
individually and as part of revision ranges.
2299
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
2300
2301
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
2302
(Martin Pool, #109169)
2303
2304
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
2305
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
2306
2307
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
2308
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
2309
2310
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2311
2312
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
2313
2314
IMPROVEMENTS:
2315
2316
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
2317
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
2318
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
2319
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
2320
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
2321
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
2322
2323
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
2324
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
2325
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
2326
2327
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
2328
(Elliot Murphy)
2329
2330
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
2331
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
2332
2333
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
2334
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
2335
2336
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
2337
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
2338
2339
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
2340
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
2341
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
2342
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
2343
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
2344
2345
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
2346
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
2347
2348
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
2349
can be slow it is useful feedback).
2350
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
2351
2352
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
2353
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
2354
2355
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
2356
2357
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
2358
output. (Aaron Bentley)
2359
2360
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
2361
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
2362
(Robert Collins)
2363
2364
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
2365
(Martin Pool)
2366
2367
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
2368
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
2369
2370
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
2371
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
2372
2373
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
2374
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
2375
2376
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
2377
2378
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
2379
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
2380
2381
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
2382
(Andrew Bennetts)
2383
2384
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2385
2386
* Testing cleanups -
2387
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2388
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
2389
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2390
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
2391
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2392
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
2393
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2394
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
2395
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2396
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
2397
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
2398
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
2399
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2400
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
2401
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2402
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
2403
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
2404
(Robert Collins)
2405
2406
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
2407
2408
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
2409
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
2410
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
2411
2412
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
2413
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
2414
2415
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
2416
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2417
2418
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
2419
2420
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
2421
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
2422
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
2423
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
2424
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
2425
same location. (Robert Collins)
2426
2427
INTERNALS:
2428
2429
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
2430
2431
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
2432
2433
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
2434
2435
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
2436
(Martin Pool)
2437
2438
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
2439
(Martin Pool)
2440
2441
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
2442
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
2443
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
2444
2445
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
2446
2447
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
2448
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
2449
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
2450
2451
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
2452
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
2453
2454
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
2455
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
2456
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
2457
2458
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
2459
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
2460
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
2461
2462
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
2463
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
2464
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
2465
2466
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
2467
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
2468
Martin Pool)
2469
2470
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
2471
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
2472
2473
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
2474
(Alexander Belchenko)
2475
2476
TESTING:
2477
2478
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
2479
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
2480
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
2481
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2482
2483
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
2484
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
2485
testing. (Robert Collins)
2486
2487
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
2488
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
2489
2490
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
2491
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
2492
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
2493
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
2494
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
2495
attribute during the test parameterisation in
2496
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
2497
2498
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
2499
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
2500
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
2501
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
2502
2503
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
2504
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
2505
2506
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
2507
avoid useless cloning.

2526
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2527
2528
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
2529
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
2530
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
2531
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
2532
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
2533
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
2534
and unlock() like so::
2535
2536
work_tree.lock_read()
2537
try:
2538
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
2539
finally:
2540
work_tree.unlock()
2541
2542
INTERNALS:
2543
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
2544
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
2545
object.
2546
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
2547
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
2548
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
2549
2550
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2551
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2552
too. (Robert Collins)
2553
2554
IMPROVEMENTS:
2555
2556
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
2557
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
2558
Aaron Bentley)
2559
2560
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
2561
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
2562
2563
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
2564
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
2565
2566
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
2567
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
2568
understanding what changes have occurred
2569
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
2570
2571
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
2572
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
2573
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2574
2575
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
2576
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
2577
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
2578
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2579
2580
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2581
#56322)
2582
2583
BUGFIXES:
2584
2585
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
2586
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
2587
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
2588
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
2589
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
2590
2591
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2592
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2593
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2594
2595
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
2596
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
2597
2598
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
2599
into account.
2600
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2601
2602
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2603
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2604
2605
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2606
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2607
2608
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2609
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2610
2611
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2612
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2613
2614
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2615
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2616
2617
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2618
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2619
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
2622
--------------------
2623
2624
BUGFIXES:
2625
2626
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2627
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2628
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2629
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2630
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2631
2632
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2633
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2634
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2635
2636
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2637
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2638
2639
IMPROVEMENTS:
2640
2641
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2642
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2643
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2644
2645
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2646
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2647
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2648
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

2650
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
2651
-----------------------
2652
2653
BUGFIXES:
2654
2655
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2656
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2657
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2658
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2659
2660
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2661
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2662
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
2663
2664
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2665
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
2666
2667
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
2668
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
2669
2670
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
2671
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
2672
2673
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
2674
-----------------------
2675
2676
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2677
2678
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
2679
it could be recovered again.
2680
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
2681
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
2682
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
2683
but not delete it.
2684
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
2685
files.
2686
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
2687
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
2688
2689
IMPROVEMENTS:
2690
2691
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
2692
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
2693
2694
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
2695
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
2696
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
2697
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
2698
2699
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
2700
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
2701
2702
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
2703
tests with names that match that regular expression.
2704
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
2705
2706
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
2707
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
2708
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
2709
2710
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
2711
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
2712
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
2713
2714
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
2715
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
2716
Robert Collins)
2717
2718
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
2719
Pool)
2720
2721
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
2722
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
2723
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
2724
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
2725
2726
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
2727
(Robert Collins)
2728
2729
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
2730
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
2731
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
2732
(Robert Collins)
2733
2734
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
2735
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
2736
2737
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
2738
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
2739
2740
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
2741
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
2742
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
2743
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
2744
(Robert Collins)
2745
2746
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
2747
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
2748
2749
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
2750
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2751
2752
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
2753
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
2754
(Robert Collins, #107125).
2755
2756
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
2757
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
2758
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
2759
2760
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
2761
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
2762
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2763
2764
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
2765
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
2766
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
2767
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
2768
2769
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
2770
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
2771
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
2772
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
2773
2774
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
2775
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
2776
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
2777
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
2778
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
2779
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
2780
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
2781
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
2782
header(s).
2783

2785
INTERNALS:
2786
2787
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
2788
code paths. (Robert Collins)
2789
2790
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
2791
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
2792
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
2793
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
2794
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2795
2796
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
2797
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
2798
2799
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
2800
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
2801
2802
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
2803
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
2804
2805
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
2806
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
2807
2808
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
2809
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
2810
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
2811
(Robert Collins).
2812
2813
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
2814
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
2815
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
2816
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
2817
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
2818
(Robert Collins)
2819
2820
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
2821
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
2822
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
2823
2824
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
2825
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
2826
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2827
2828
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
2829
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
2830
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
2831
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2832
2833
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
2834
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
2835
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
2836
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
2837
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
2838
2839
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
2840
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
2841
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
2842
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2843
2844
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
2845
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2846
2847
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
2848
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
2849
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
2850
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
2851
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
2852
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
2853
2854
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
2855
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
2856
2857
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
2858
help. (Robert Collins)
2859
2860
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
2861
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2862
2863
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
2864
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
2865
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
2866
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
2867
(John Arbash Meinel)
2868
2869
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
2870
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
2871
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
2872
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
2873
useful. (Robert Collins)
2874
2875
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
2876
(Andrew Bennetts)
2877
2878
BUGFIXES:
2879
2880
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
2881
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
2882
2883
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
2884
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
2885
2886
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
2887
properly and is no longer beneficial.
2888
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
2889
2890
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2891
(Aaron Bentley)
2892
2893
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2894
the file, and does it faster.
2895
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2896
2897
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2898
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2899
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2900
2901
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2902
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2903
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2904
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2905
2906
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2907
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2908
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2909
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2910
2911
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2912
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2913
2914
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2915
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2916
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2917
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2918
Arbash Meinel)
2919
2920
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2921
2922
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2923
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2924
2925
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2926
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2927
2928
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2929
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2930
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2931
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2932
security hole.
2933
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2934
2935
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2936
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2937
2938
TESTING:
2939
2940
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2941
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2942
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2943
2944
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2945
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2946
2947
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2948
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2949
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2950
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2951
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2952
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2953
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2954
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2955
2956
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2957
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2958
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2959
2960
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2961
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2962
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2963
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2964
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2965
access.
2966
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2967
2968
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2969
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2970
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2971
2972
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2973
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
2992
2993
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2994
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2995
(Martin Pool)
2996
2997
IMPROVEMENTS:
2998
2999
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3000
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3001
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3002
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3003
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3004
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3005
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3006
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3007
path. (vila)
3008
3009
INTERNALS:
3010
3011
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3012
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3013
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3014
3015
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3016
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3017
(Martin Pool)
3018
3019
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3020
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3021
(John Arbash Meinel)
3022
3023
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3024
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3025
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3026
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3027
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3028
3029
BUGFIXES:
3030
3031
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3032
(vila, #92195)
3033
3034
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3035
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3036
3037
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3038
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3039
3040
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3041
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3042
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3043
3044
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3045
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3046
3047
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3048
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3049
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3050
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3051
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3052
3053
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3054
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3055
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3056
3057
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

3061
-----------------------
3062
3063
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3064
3065
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3066
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3067
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3068
3069
IMPROVEMENTS:
3070
3071
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3072
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3073
3074
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3075
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3076
3077
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3078
3079
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3080
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3081
3082
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3083
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3084
3085
INTERNALS:
3086
3087
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3088
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
3089
3090
BUGFIXES:
3091
3092
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3093
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3094
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3095
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3096
3097
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3098
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3099
3100
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3101
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3102
3103
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3104
(Marien Zwart)
3105
3106
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
3111
-----------------------
3112
3113
SURPRISES:
3114
3115
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
3116
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
3117
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
3118
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
3119
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
3120
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
3121
3122
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
3123
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
3124
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
3125
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
3126
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
3127
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
3128
development.
3129
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3130
3131
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
3132
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
3133
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
3134
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
3135
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
3136
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
3137
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
3138
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3139
3140
IMPROVEMENTS:
3141
3142
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3143
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3144
3145
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
3146
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
3147
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
3148
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
3149
does exist.
3150
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
3151
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
3152
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
3153
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
3154
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
3155
3156
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
3157
(Aaron Bentley)
3158
3159
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3160
(Aaron Bentley)
3161
3162
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3163
(Robert Collins)
3164
3165
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3166
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3167
(Aaron Bentley)
3168
3169
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3170
(Aaron Bentley)
3171
3172
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3173
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3174
3175
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3176
directory. (Martin Pool)
3177
3178
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3179
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3180
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3181
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3182
3183
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3184
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3185
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3186
in docs/configuration.txt.
3187
3188
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3189
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
3190
bind location.
3191
3192
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
3193
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
3194
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
3195
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
3196
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
3197
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3198
3199
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3200
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3201
3202
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3203
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3204
3205
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
3206
(Aaron Bentley)
3207
3208
INTERNALS:
3209
3210
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
3211
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
3212
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
3213
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
3214
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
3215
(John Arbash Meinel)
3216
3217
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
3218
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
3219
(Aaron Bentley)
3220
3221
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
3222
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
3223
(John Arbash Meinel)
3224
3225
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
3226
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
3227
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
3228
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
3229
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
3230
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
3231
3232
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
3233
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
3234
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
3235
3236
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
3237
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
3238
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
3239
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
3240
repository.
3241
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3242
3243
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
3244
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
3245
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
3246
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
3247
3248
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
3249
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
3250
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
3251
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
3252
3253
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
3254
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
3255
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
3256
3257
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
3258
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
3259
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
3260
3261
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
3262
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
3263
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
3264
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
3265
3266
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
3267
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
3268
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
3269
3270
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
3271
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
3272
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
3273
3274
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
3275
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
3276
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
3277
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
3278
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
3279
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
3280
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
3281
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
3282
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

3284
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
3285
3286
BUGFIXES:
3287
3288
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
3289
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
3290
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
3291
3292
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
3293
(Aaron Bentley)
3294
3295
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
3296
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
3297
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
3298
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
3299
3300
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
3301
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
3302
#83954).
3303
3304
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
3305
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
3306
3307
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
3308
3309
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
3310
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
3311
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
3312
3313
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
3314
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
3315
3316
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
3317
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
3318
3319
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
3320
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
3321
3322
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
3323
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
3324
3325
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
3326
3327
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
3328
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
3329
3330
TESTING:
3331
3332
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
3333
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

--------------------
3338
3339
IMPROVEMENTS:
3340
3341
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
3342
3343
BUG FIXES:
3344
3345
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
3346
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
3347
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
3348
3349
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
3350
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
3351
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

3353
3354
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
3355
-----------------------
3356
3357
IMPROVEMENTS:
3358
3359
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
3360
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
3361
server, then you can write over the http connection.
3362
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3363
3364
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
3365
(Marius Kruger)
3366
3367
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
3368
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
3369
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3370
3371
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
3372
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
3373
3374
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
3375
(Aaron Bentley)
3376
3377
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
3378
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
3379
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
3380
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
3381
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
3382
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
3383
3384
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
3385
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
3386
should enable you to do::
3387
3388
[/home/user/project]
3389
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
3390
push_location:policy = appendpath
3391
3392
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
3393
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
3394
(James Henstridge)
3395
3396
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
3397
for each file. For example::
3398
3399
$ bzr status --short
3400
A foo
3401
A bar
3402
D baz
3403
? wooley
3404
3405
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
3406
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
3407
3408
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
3409
3410
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
3411
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
3412
3413
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
3414
3415
INTERNALS:
3416
3417
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
3418
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
3419
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
3420
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
3421
3422
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
3423
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
3424
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
3425
3426
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3427
3428
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
3429
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
3430
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
3431
(Alexander Belchenko)
3432
3433
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
3434
Pool)
3435
3436
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
3437
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
3438
3439
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
3440
3441
BUG FIXES:
3442
3443
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
3444
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
3445
3446
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
3447
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
3448
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
3449
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
3450
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
3451
3452
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
3453
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
3454
3455
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
3456
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
3457
3458
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
3459
matcher.
3460
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
3461
3462
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
3463
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
3464
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
3465
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
3466
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
3467
3468
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
3469
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
3470
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
3471
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
3472
3473
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
3474
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
3475
3476
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
3477
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
3478
3479
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
3480
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
3481
3482
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
3495
3496
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
3497
tree from a branch.
3498
(Daniel Silverstone)
3499
3500
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
3501
operations are substantially faster.
3502
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
3503
3504
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
3505
tree from some other url. For example:
3506
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
3507
(Daniel Silverstone)
3508
3509
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
3510
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
3511
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
3512
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
3513
3514
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
3515
(Andrew Bennetts)
3516
3517
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
3518
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
3519
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
3520
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
3521
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
3522
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
3523
3524
INTERNALS:
3525
3526
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
3527
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
3528
(Martin Pool)
3529
3530
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3531
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3532
(John Arbash Meinel)
3533
3534
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
3535
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
3536
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
3537
(John Arbash Meinel)
3538
3539
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
3540
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3541
3542
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3543
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3544
3545
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3546
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3547
Bennetts)
3548
3549
BUG FIXES:
3550
3551
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
3552
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
3553
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
3554
3555
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
3556
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
3557
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
3558
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
3559
3560
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3561
3562
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3563
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3564
3565
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3566
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3567
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
3568
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3569
3570
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3571
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3572
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3573
3574
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3575
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3576
them as full references rather than integers.
3577
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3578
3579
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3580
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3581
3582
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3583
3584
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3585
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3586
3587
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3588
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3589
3590
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3591
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3592
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3593
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3594
3595
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3596
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3597
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3598
3599
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3600
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3601
3602
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3603
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3604
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3605
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3606
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3607
3608
TESTING:
3609
3610
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3611
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

3614
--------------------
3615
3616
INTERNALS:
3617

3622
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
3623
-----------------------
3624
3625
IMPROVEMENTS:
3626
3627
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3628
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3629
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3630
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3631
3632
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3633
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3634
3635
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3636
3637
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3638
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3639
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3640
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3641
3642
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3643
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3644
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3645
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3646
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3647
3648
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3649
3650
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3651
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3652
3653
INTERNALS:
3654
3655
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3656
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3657
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3658
3659
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3660
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3661
(John Arbash Meinel)
3662
3663
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3664
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3665
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3666
3667
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3668
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3669
(Aaron Bentley)
3670
3671
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3672
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3673
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3674
3675
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3676
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3677
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3678
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3679
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3680
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3681
3682
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3683
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3684
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3685
(Robert Collins)
3686
3687
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3688
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3689
3690
BUG FIXES:
3691
3692
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3693
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3694
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3695
#63360, #66349)
3696
3697
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3698
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3699
3700
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3701
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3702
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3703
3704
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3705
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3706
3707
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3708
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3709
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3710
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3711
3712
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3713
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3714
3715
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3716
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3717
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3718
3719
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3720
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3721
3722
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3723
3724
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3725
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3726
#32054)
3727
3728
TESTING:
3729
3730
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3731
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3732
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3733
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3734
3735
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3736
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3737
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3738
3739
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
3740
--------------------
3741
3742
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
3743
3744
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
3745
-----------------------
3746
3747
BUG FIXES:
3748
3749
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
3750
3751
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
3752
Arbash Meinel).
3753
3754
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
3755
-----------------------
3756
3757
IMPROVEMENTS:
3758
3759
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3760
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3761
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3762
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3763
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3764
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3765
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3766
3767
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3768
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3769
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3770
3771
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3772
3773
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3774
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3775
3776
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3777
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3778
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3779
(Robert Collins)
3780
3781
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3782
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3783
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3784
(John Arbash Meinel)
3785
3786
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3787
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3788
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3789
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3790
Pool)
3791
3792
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3793
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3794
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
3795
(John Arbash Meinel)
3796
3797
BUG FIXES:
3798
3799
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
3800
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
3801
3802
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3803
3804
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3805
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3806
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
3807
3808
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3809
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
3810
3811
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3812
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3813
3814
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3815
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3816
3817
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
3818
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
3819
3820
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3821
3822
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3823
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3824
3825
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3826
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3827
3828
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3829
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3830
3831
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3832
(John Arbash Meinel)
3833
3834
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3835
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3836
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3837
3838
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3839
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3840
3841
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3842
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3843
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3844
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3845
3846
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3847
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3848
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
3849
3850
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
3851
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
3852
3853
PORTABILITY:
3854
3855
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3856
3857
INTERNALS:
3858
3859
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3860
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3861
(John Arbash Meinel)
3862
3863
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3864
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3865
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3866
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3867
3868
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3869
(Andrew Bennetts)
3870
3871
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3872
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3873
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3874
3875
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3876
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3877
3878
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3879
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3880
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3881
3882
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3883
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3884
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3885
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3886
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3887
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3888
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3889
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3890
caller to repeat their request.
3891
(John Arbash Meinel)
3892
3893
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3894
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3895
3896
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3897
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3898
3899
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3900
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3901
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3902
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3903
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3904
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3905
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3906
3907
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3908
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3909
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3910
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3911
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3912
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3913
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3914
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3915
(Robert Collins)
3916
3917
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3918
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3919
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3920
3921
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3922
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3923
3924
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3925
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3926
3927
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3928
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3929
3930
TESTING:
3931
3932
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3933
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3934
3935
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3936
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3937
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3938
3939
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3940
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3941
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3942
3943
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
3944
--------------------
3945
3946
IMPROVEMENTS:
3947
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3948
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3949
3950
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3951
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3952
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3953
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3954
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3955
3956
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3957
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3958
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3959
3960
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3961
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3962
3963
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3964
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3965
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3966
3967
BUG FIXES:
3968
3969
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3970
3971
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3972
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
3973
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
3974
3975
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
3976
3977
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
3978
3979
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
3980
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
3981
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
3982
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
3983
3984
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
3985
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
3986
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
3987
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
3988
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
3989
3990
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
3991
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
3992
3993
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
3994
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
3995
3996
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
3997
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
3998
3999
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
4000
in handling of revision properties.
4001
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
4002
4003
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
4004
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
4005
4006
INTERNALS:
4007
4008
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
4009
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
4010
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
4011
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
4012
(John Arbash Meinel)
4013
4014
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
4015
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
4016
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4017
4018
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4019
---------------------
4020
4021
SURPRISES:
4022
4023
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
4024
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
4025
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
4026
specific one '.bzrignore'.
4027
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
4028
a more conservative list than the old default.
4029
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
4030
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
4031
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
4032
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
4033
4034
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4035
to more locations than just branch locations.
4036
(Aaron Bentley)
4037
4038
IMPROVEMENTS:
4039
4040
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
4041
revno:N:branch. For example,
4042
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
4043
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4044
4045
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
4046
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
4047
the path of a file that has been versioned.
4048
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
4049
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
4050
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
4051
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
4052
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
4053
#42517, #42514)
4054
4055
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
4056
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
4057
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
4058
(Malone #3507)
4059
4060
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
4061
(Alexander Belchenko)
4062
4063
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
4064
4065
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
4066
(Robert Collins).
4067
4068
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
4069
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
4070
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
4071
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
4072
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
4073
(John Arbash Meinel)
4074
4075
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
4076
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
4077
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
4078
grained analysis of performance.
4079
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4080
4081
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
4082
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
4083
4084
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
4085
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
4086
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
4087
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
4088
file. (Robert Collins).
4089
4090
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
4091
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
4092
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
4093
4094
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
4095
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
4096
Matthieu Moy)
4097
4098
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
4099
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
4100
4101
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
4102
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
4103
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
4104
the same way you would apply another branch.
4105
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4106
4107
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
4108
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
4109
4110
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
4111
(Michael Ellerman)
4112
4113
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
4114
(Aaron Bentley)
4115
4116
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
4117
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
4118
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
4119
4120
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
4121
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
4122
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
4123
4124
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
4125
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
4126
4127
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
4128
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
4129
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
4130
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
4131
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
4132
4133
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
4134
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
4135
4136
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
4137
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
4138
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
4139
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
4140
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
4141
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
4142
branch is as much as 4x faster.
4143
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
4144
4145
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
4146
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
4147
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
4148
4149
BUG FIXES:
4150
4151
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4152
tests not to run.
4153
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4154
4155
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4156
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4157
4158
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4159
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4160
4161
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4162
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4163
4164
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4165
4166
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4167
(John Arbash Meinel)
4168
4169
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4170
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4171
4172
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4173
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4174
and y.
4175
4176
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4177
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4178
4179
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4180
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4181
4182
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4183
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4184
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4185
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4186
4187
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4188
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4189
4190
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4191
4192
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4193
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4194
4195
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4196
4197
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4198
4199
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4200
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4201
4202
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4203
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4204
4205
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4206
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4207
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4208
4209
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4210
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4211
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4212
4213
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4214
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4215
4216
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4217
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4218
4219
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4220
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4221
4222
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4223
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4224
4225
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4226
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
4227
4228
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
4229
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
4230
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
4231
4232
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
4233
4234
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
4235
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
4236
4237
INTERNALS:
4238
4239
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
4240
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
4241
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
4242
4243
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
4244
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
4245
4246
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
4247
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
4248
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4249
4250
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
4251
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4252
4253
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
4254
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
4255
(Martin Pool)
4256
4257
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
4258
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
4259
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4260
4261
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
4262
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
4263
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4264
4265
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
4266
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
4267
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
4268
4269
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
4270
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
4271
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
4272
4273
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
4274
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
4275
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
4276
4277
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
4278
instead. (Robert Collins)
4279
4280
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

4295
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
4296
4297
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
4298
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4299
4300
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
4301
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

4312
4313
CHANGES:
4314
4315
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
4316
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from

4318
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
4319
4320
NEW FEATURES:
4321
4322
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
4323
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.

INTERNALS:
4327
4328

new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4331
4332

4337
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
4338
-------------------
4339
4340
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4341
4342
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
4343
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
4344
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
4345
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
4346
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
4347
will keep the same format.
4348
4349
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
4350
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
4351
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
4352
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
4353
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
4354
4355
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
4356
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
4357
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
4358
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
4359
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
4360
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
4361
indicating the current revision of the branch.
4362
4363
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
4364
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
4365
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
4366
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
4367
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
4368
4369
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
4370
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
4371
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
4372
arrangement.
4373
4374
4375
IMPROVEMENTS:
4376
4377
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
4378
convention. Paths now take the form::
4379
4380
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
4381
or
4382
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
4383
4384
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
4385
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
4386
4387
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
4388
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
4389
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
4390
4391
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
4392
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
4393
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
4394
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
4395
4396
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
4397
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
4398
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
4399
4400
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
4401
4402
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
4403
4404
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
4405
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
4406
commits::
4407
4408
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
4409
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
4410
| xargs bzr re-sign
4411
4412
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
4413
4414
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
4415
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
4416
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
4417
(Robert Collins)
4418
4419
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
4420
4421
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
4422
4423
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
4424
'.moved'.
4425
4426
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
4427
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
4428
4429
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
4430
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
4431
Daniel Silverstone)
4432
4433
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
4434
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
4435
Martin Pool)
4436
4437
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
4438
4439
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
4440
4441
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
4442
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
4443
4444
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
4445
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
4446
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
4447
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
4448
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
4449
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
4450
4451
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
4452
4453
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
4454
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
4455
(Robert Collins)
4456
4457
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
4458
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
4459
4460
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
4461
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
4462
4463
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
4464
4465
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
4466
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
4467
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
4468
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
4469
specification by Martin Pool.
4470
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
4471
4472
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
4473
Belchenko)
4474
4475
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
4476
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4477
4478
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
4479
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
4480
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
4481
4482
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
4483
4484
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
4485
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
4486
(Robert Collins)
4487
4488
CHANGES:
4489
4490
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
4491
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4492
4493
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
4494
4495
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
4496
4497
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
4498
(Olaf Conradi)
4499
4500
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
4501
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
4502
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
4503
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
4504
4505
INTERNALS:
4506
4507
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
4508
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
4509
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
4510
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4511
4512
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
4513
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
4514
tried. (Martin Pool)
4515
4516
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
4517
(Martin Pool)
4518
4519
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
4520
4521
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
4522
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
4523
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
4524
4525
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
4526
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
4527
4528
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
4529
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
4530
paths. (Robert Collins)
4531
4532
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
4533
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
4534
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
4535
4536
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
4537
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
4538
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
4539
4540
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4541
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4542
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4543
4544
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4545
(Olaf Conradi)
4546
4547
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4548
(Olaf Conradi)
4549
4550
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4551
4552
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4553
4554
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
4555
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
4556
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
4557
(Robert Collins)
4558
4559
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4560
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4561
4562
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
4563
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
4564
check. (Robert Collins)
4565
4566
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4567
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4568
4569
TESTING:
4570
4571
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4572
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4573
4574
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4575
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4576
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4577
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4578
4579
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4580
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4581
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4582
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4583
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4584
4585
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4586
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4587
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4588
4589
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4590
4591
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4592
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
4595
------------------
4596
4597
CHANGES:
4598
4599
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4600
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4601
4602
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4603
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4604
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4605
(Johan Rydberg)
4606
4607
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4608
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4609
4610
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4611
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4612
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4613
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4614
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4615
4616
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4617
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4618
used. (Robert Collins)
4619
4620
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4621
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4622
(James Henstridge)
4623
4624
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4625
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4626
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4627
4628
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4629
ignore list.
4630
4631
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4632
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4633
4634
IMPROVEMENTS:
4635
4636
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4637
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4638
4639
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4640
4641
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4642
4643
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4644
tree. (Robert Collins)
4645
4646
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4647
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4648
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4649
(Robert Collins)
4650
4651
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4652
that they be kept.
4653
4654
* Tweaks to short log printing
4655
4656
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4657
(Aaron Bentley)
4658
4659
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4660
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4661
4662
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4663
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4664
4665
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4666
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4667
4668
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
4669
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4670
settings. (Magnus Therning)
4671
4672
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
4673
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4674
4675
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4676
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4677
requests.
4678
4679
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4680
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4681
4682
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
4683
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
4684
4685
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
4686
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
4687
4688
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
4689
(Denys Duchier)
4690
4691
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
4692
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4693
4694
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4695
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4696
4697
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4698
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4699
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
4700
4701
BUG FIXES:
4702
4703
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
4704
4705
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4706
4707
* Error when run with -OO
4708
4709
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
4710
(Martin Pool)
4711
4712
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4713
4714
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4715
4716
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4717
ignored by diff and status
4718
4719
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4720
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
4721
4722
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
4723
4724
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4725
4726
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4727
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4728
4729
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4730
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4731
4732
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4733
(Harald Meland)
4734
4735
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4736
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4737
4738
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4739
4740
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4741
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4742
4743
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4744
(Martin Pool)
4745
4746
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4747
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4748
4749
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4750
4751
TESTING:
4752
4753
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4754
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4755
4756
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4757
4758
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4759
4760
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4761
4762
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4763
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4764
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4765
4766
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4767
4768
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4769
(John Arbash Meinel)
4770
4771
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4772
4773
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4774
If adding a new test script please add that to
4775
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4776
4777
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4778
imported. (Martin Pool)
4779
4780
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4781
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4782
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4783
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4784
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4785
(Robert Collins)
4786
4787
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4788
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4789
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4790
4791
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4792
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4793
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4794
4795
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4796
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4797
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4798
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4799
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4800
(Robert Collins).
4801
4802
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4803
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4804
(Robert Collins).
4805
4806
INTERNALS:
4807
4808
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4809
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4810
4811
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4812
function. (Robert Collins)
4813
4814
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4815
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4816
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4817
4818
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4819
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4820
(Robert Collins)
4821
4822
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4823
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4824
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4825
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4826
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4827
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4828
version. (Robert Collins)
4829
4830
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4831
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4832
4833
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4834
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4835
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4836
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4837
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4838
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4839
4840
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4841
(Robert Collins)
4842
4843
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4844
4845
add()
4846
commit()
4847
move()
4848
rename_one()
4849
unknowns()
4850
4851
(Robert Collins)
4852
4853
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4854
4855
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4856
4857
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4858
Pool)
4859
4860
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4861
query method. (Robert Collins)
4862
4863
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4864
(Denys Duchier)
4865
4866
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4867
(Michael Ellerman)
4868
4869
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4870
(Michael Ellerman)
4871
4872
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4873
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4874
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4875
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4876
4877
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4878
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4879
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4880
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4881
4882
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4883
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
4884

bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
4886
------------------
4887
4888
IMPROVEMENTS:
4889
4890
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4891
(John A Meinel)
4892
4893
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4894
conflicts.
4895
(Aaron Bentley)
4896
4897
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4898
a separator, not ':'.
4899
(Aaron Bentley)
4900
4901
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4902
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4903
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4904
4905
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4906
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4907
(Robert Collins)
4908
4909
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4910
has been added that suppresses all output.
4911
4912
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4913
Adams.
4914
4915
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4916
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4917
4918
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4919
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4920
4921
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4922
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4923
4924
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4925
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4926
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4927
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4928
4929
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4930
4931
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4932
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4933
4934
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4935
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4936
4937
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4938
output directory, if one was supplied.
4939
4940
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4941
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4942
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4943
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4944
4945
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4946
4947
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4948
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4949
4950
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4951
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4952
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4953
4954
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4955
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4956
4957
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4958
(Aaron Bentley)
4959
4960
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4961
4962
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4963
4964
TESTING:
4965
4966
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4967
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4968
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4969
4970
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4971
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4972
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4973
4974
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
4975
is given. (Martin Pool)
4976
4977
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
4978
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
4979
file. (Robert Collins)
4980
4981
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
4982
(Martin Pool)
4983
4984
INTERNALS:
4985
4986
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
4987
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
4988
representation. (Martin Pool).
4989
4990
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
4991
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
4992
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
4993
4994
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4995
(Robert Collins)
4996
4997
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
4998
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
4999
Magnus Therning.
5000
5001
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5002
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
5003
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5004
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5005
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5006
5007
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5008
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5009
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5010
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5011
python path. (Robert Collins)
5012
5013
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5014
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5015
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5016
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5017
5018
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5019
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5020
5021
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5022
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5023
(Robert Collins)
5024
5025
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5026
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5027
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5028
5029
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5030
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5031
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5032
5033
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5034
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5035
5036
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5037
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5038
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5039
(Robert Collins)
5040
5041
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5042
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5043
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5044
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5045
(Robert Collins)
5046
5047
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5048
(Robert Collins)
5049
5050
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5051
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5052
(Robert Collins)
5053
5054
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
5055
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
5056
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
5057
5058
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
5059
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
5060
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
5061
5062
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
5063
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
5064
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
5065
5066
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5067
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5068
5069
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
5070
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
5071
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
5072
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
5073
caller. (Robert Collins)
5074
5075
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
5076
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
5077
(Robert Collins).
5078
5079
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
5080
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
5081
(Aaron Bentley)
5082
5083
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
5084
5085
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
5086
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
5087
5088
BUG FIXES:
5089
5090
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
5091
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
5092
5093
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
5094
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
5095
5096
5097
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
5098
--------------------
5099
5100
BUG FIXES:
5101
5102
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
5103
allow directories to be listed.
5104
5105
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
5106
upgrading branch format.
5107
5108
PERFORMANCE:
5109
5110
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
5111
5112
5113
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
5114
------------------
5115
5116
NOTES:
5117
5118
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
5119
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
5120
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
5121
high-latency connections.
5122
5123
BUG FIXES:
5124
5125
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
5126
Rob Weir.
5127
5128
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
5129
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
5130
5131
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
5132
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
5133
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
5134
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5135
5136
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5137
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5138
5139
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5140
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5141
5142
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
5143
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
5144
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5145
5146
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
5147
for files with only a change to their executable status.
5148
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
5149
Robert Collins
5150
5151
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5152
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5153
5154
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5155
different partial views of history.
5156
5157
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5158
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5159
5160
IMPROVEMENTS:
5161
5162
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5163
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5164
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5165
5166
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5167
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5168
'bzr upgrade'.
5169
5170
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5171
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5172
5173
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5174
Niemeyer.
5175
5176
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5177
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5178
5179
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5180
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5181
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5182
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5183
5184
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5185
5186
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5187
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5188
Gustavo Niemeyer.
5189
5190
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5191
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5192
5193
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5194
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5195
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5196
5197
5198
INTERNALS:
5199
5200
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5201
for your viewing pleasure.
5202
5203
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5204
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5205
5206
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5207
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5208
handling of such circumstances.
5209
5210
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
5211
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
5212
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
5213
5214
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5215
5216
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5217
we call them revisions not patches.
5218
5219
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5220
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5221
5222
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
5223
giving the revision *of that file*.
5224
5225
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
5226
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
5227
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
5228
5229
TESTING:
5230
5231
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
5232
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
5233
5234
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
5235
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
5236
5237
5238
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
5239
--------------------
5240
5241
BUG FIXES:
5242
5243
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
5244
5245
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
5246
(Robert Collins).
5247
5248
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
5249
5250
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
5251
5252
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
5253
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5254
5255
IMPROVEMENTS:
5256
5257
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
5258
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
5259
5260
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
5261
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
5262
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
5263
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
5264
Robey Pointer
5265
5266
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
5267
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5268
5269
INTERNALS:
5270
5271
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
5272
5273
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
5274
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
5275
5276
5277
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
5278
--------------------
5279
5280
IMPROVEMENTS:
5281
5282
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
5283
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
5284
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
5285
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
5286
Michael Ellerman.
5287
5288
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
5289
(Nir Soffer)
5290
5291
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
5292
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
5293
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
5294
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
5295
for the operating system is still tried.
5296
5297
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
5298
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
5299
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
5300
5301
5302
INTERNALS:
5303
5304
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
5305
5306
BUG FIXES:
5307
5308
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
5309
5310
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
5311
branch.
5312
5313
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
5314
read.
5315
5316
5317
PORTABILITY:
5318
5319
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
5320
5321
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
5322
5323
5324
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
5325
--------------------
5326
5327
NEW FEATURES:
5328
5329
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
5330
help with intelligent shell completion.
5331
5332
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
5333
5334
5335
ENHANCEMENTS:
5336
5337
* Much better merge support.
5338
5339
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
5340
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
5341
like emacs smerge.
5342
5343
5344
BUG FIXES:
5345
5346
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
5347
mention revisions that are not present.
5348
5349
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
5350
5351
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
5352
5353
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
5354
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
5355
5356
5357
CHANGES:
5358
5359
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
5360
5361
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
5362
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
5363
--help themselves.
5364
5365
5366
LIBRARY:
5367
5368
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
5369
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
5370
libraries.
5371
5372
5373
5374
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
5375
--------------------
5376
5377
NEW FEATURES:
5378
5379
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
5380
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
5381
5382
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
5383
5384
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
5385
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
5386
5387
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
5388
FOO.
5389
5390
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
5391
5392
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
5393
the Unix command.
5394
5395
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
5396
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
5397
5398
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
5399
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
5400
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
5401
5402
5403
ENHANCEMENTS:
5404
5405
* Faster working tree operations.
5406
5407
5408
CHANGES:
5409
5410
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
5411
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
5412
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
5413
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
5414
5415
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
5416
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
5417
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
5418
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
5419
standard plugins directory.
5420
5421
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
5422
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
5423
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
5424
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
5425
5426
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
5427
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
5428
5429
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
5430
disk.
5431
5432
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
5433
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
5434
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
5435
5436
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
5437
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
5438
5439
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
5440
line options must come before the command name because they
5441
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
5442
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
5443
it.
5444
5445
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
5446
5447
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
5448
is available with ``--short``.
5449
5450
5451
BUG FIXES:
5452
5453
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
5454
5455
5456
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
5457
---------------------
5458
5459
CHANGES:
5460
5461
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
5462
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5463
5464
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
5465
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
5466
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
5467
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
5468
5469
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
5470
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
5471
with the ``--forward`` option.
5472
5473
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
5474
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
5475
field.
5476
5477
5478
ENHANCEMENTS:
5479
5480
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
5481
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
5482
5483
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
5484
5485
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
5486
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
5487
5488
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
5489
5490
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
5491
either read or write mode.
5492
5493
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
5494
5495
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
5496
affected that file.
5497
5498
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
5499
5500
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
5501
suggested by LarstiQ.
5502
5503
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
5504
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
5505
5506
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
5507
a filename.
5508
5509
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
5510
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
5511
5512
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
5513
haven't changed since the previous time.
5514
5515
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
5516
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
5517
5518
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
5519
5520
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
5521
5522
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
5523
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
5524
5525
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
5526
options through to an external GNU diff.
5527
5528
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
5529
their contents.
5530
5531
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
5532
from a branch.
5533
5534
5535
BUG FIXES:
5536
5537
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
5538
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
5539
5540
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
5541
metacharacters.
5542
5543
5544
TESTING:
5545
5546
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
5547
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
5548
the tests.
5549
5550
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
5551
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
5552
5553
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
5554
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
5555
5556
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
5557
under a different version.
5558
5559
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
5560
5561
5562
INTERNAL:
5563
5564
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
5565
5566
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
5567
Scott James Remnant.
5568
5569
* Better help messages for many commands.
5570
5571

5572
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
5573

5575
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
5576

5593
---------------------
5594
5595
ENHANCEMENTS:
5596
5597
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
5598
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
5599
5600
* More default ignore patterns.
5601
5602
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
5603
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
5604
5605
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
5606
5607
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
5608
by Jason Diamon.
5609
5610

5611
5612
5613
CHANGES:
5614
5615
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
5616
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
5617
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
5618
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
5619
there are DNS problems.
5620
5621
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
5622
5623
5624

5631
trailing newlines properly.
5632
5633
5634
INTERNAL:
5635
5636
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
5637
Matt Brubeck.
5638
5639
* More tests in test.sh.
5640
5641
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
5642
directory and delete it when done.
5643
5644
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
5645
5646
5647
PORTABILITY:
5648
5649

5650
Bennetts.

5677
5678
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
5679
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
5680
will do for now.)
5681
5682
PORTABILITY:
5683
5684
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
5685
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
5686
Nielsen.

5724
5725
* Performance improvements.
5726
5727
