IN DEVELOPMENT

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

11
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
12
13
CHANGES:
14
15
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
16
17
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
18
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
19
20
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
21
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
22
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
23
24
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
25
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
26
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
27
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
28
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
29
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
30
Andrew Cowie)
31
32
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
33
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
34
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
35
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
36
37
FEATURES:
38
39
* Added mail-mode GNU Emacs mail package as a mail_client.
40
(Xavier Maillard, Bojan Nikolic)
41
42
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
43
44
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
45
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
46
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
47
48
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
49
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
50
See the User Reference for signature details.
51
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
52
53
IMPROVEMENTS:
54
55
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
56
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
57
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
58
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
59
60
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
61
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
62
63
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
64
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
65
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
66
Wouter van Heyst)
67
68
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
69
(Chad Miller)
70
71
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
72
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
73
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
74
75
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
76
(Aaron Bentley)
77
78
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
79
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
80
81
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
82
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
83
84
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
85
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
86
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
87
88
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
89
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
90
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
91
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
92
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
93
94
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
95
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
96
97
BUGFIXES:
98
99
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
100
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
101
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
102
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
103
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
104
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
105
106
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
107
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
108
109
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
110
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
111
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
112
113
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
114
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
115
116
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
117
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
118
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
119
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
120
121
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
122
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
123
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
124
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
125
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
126
127
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
128
129
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
130
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
131
132
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
133
134
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
135
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
136
137
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
138
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
139
140
DOCUMENTATION:
141
142
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
143
144
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
145
146
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
147
148
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
149
150
API BREAKS:
151
152
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
153
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
154
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
155
156
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
157
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
158
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
159
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
160
161
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
162
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
163
release. (James Westby)
164
165
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
166
(Andrew Bennetts)
167
168
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
169
170
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
171
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
172
173
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
174
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
175
176
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
177
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
178
179
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
180
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
181
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
182
183
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
184
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
185
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
186
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
187
188
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
189
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
190
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
191
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
192
193
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
194
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
195
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
196
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
197
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
198
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
199
200
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
201
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
202
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
203
204
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
205
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
206
207
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
208
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
209
(Robert Collins)
210
211
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
212
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
213
214
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
215
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
216
217
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
218
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
219
220
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
221
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
222
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
223
224
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
225
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
226
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
227
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
228
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
229
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
230
231
TESTING:
232
233
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
234
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
235
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
236
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
237
238
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
239
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
240
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
241
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
242
implement this).
243
(Vincent Ladeuil)
244
245
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
246
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
247
(Vincent Ladeuil)
248
249
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
250
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
251
252
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
253
254
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
255
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
256
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
257
258
INTERNALS:
259
260
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
261
262
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
263
(Martin Albisetti)
264
265
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
266
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
267
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
268
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
269
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
270
(Martin Pool, #109520)
271
272
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
273
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
274
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
275
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
276
277
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
278
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
279
280
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
281
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)
282
283
284
bzr 1.3 2008-03-20
285
------------------
286
287
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
288
289
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
290
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
291
features have been added.
292
293
TESTING:
294
295
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
296
directory names.
297
(#202778, Martin Pool)
298
299
300
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-03-16
301
---------------------
302
303
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
304
305
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
306
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
307
308
CHANGES:
309
310
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
311
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
312
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
313
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
314
(Robert Collins)
315
316
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
317
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
318
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
319
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
320
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
321
(Alexander Belchenko)
322
323
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
324
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
325
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
326
(Alexander Belchenko)
327
328
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
329
330
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
331
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
332
333
FEATURES:
334
335
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
336
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
337
338
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
339
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
340
(Jelmer Vernooij)
341
342
IMPROVEMENTS:
343
344
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
345
346
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
347
348
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
349
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
350
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
351
352
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
353
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
354
355
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
356
to. (Daniel Watkins)
357
358
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
359
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
360
(Alexander Belchenko)
361
362
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
363
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
364
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
365
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
366
367
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
368
(Daniel Watkins)
369
370
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
371
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
372
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
373
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
374
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
375
376
BUGFIXES:
377
378
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
379
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
380
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
381
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
382
383
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
384
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
385
386
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
387
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
388
389
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
390
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
391
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
392
393
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
394
(#198793, John Ferlito)
395
396
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
397
#196618)
398
399
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
400
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
401
402
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
403
404
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
405
406
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
407
symlinks (James Henstridge)
408
409
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
410
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
411
412
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
413
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
414
415
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
416
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
417
418
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
419
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
420
421
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
422
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
423
424
DOCUMENTATION:
425
426
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
427
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
428
429
API BREAKS:
430
431
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
432
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
433
(Alexander Belchenko)
434
435
TESTING:
436
437
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
438
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
439
(Robert Collins)
440
441
INTERNALS:
442
443
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
444
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
445
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
446
447
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
448
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
449
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
450
(Alexander Belchenko)
451
452
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
453
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
454
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
455
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
456
457
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
458
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
459
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
460
(Robert Collins)
461
462
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
463
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
464
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
465
466
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
467
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
468
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
469
470
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
471
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
472
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
473
format. (Robert Collins)

487
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
488
489
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
490
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
491
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
492
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
493
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
494
(Andrew Bennetts)
495
496
CHANGES:
497
498
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
499
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
500
501
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
502
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
503
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
504
505
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
506
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
507
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
508
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
509
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
510
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
511
(Aaron Bentley)
512
513
FEATURES:
514
515
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
516
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
517
518
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
519
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
520
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
521
(Robert Collins)
522
523
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
524
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
525
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
526
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
527
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
528
529
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
530
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
531
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
532
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
533
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
534
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
535
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
536
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
537
538
IMPROVEMENTS:
539
540
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
541
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
542
543
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
544
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
545
546
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
547
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
548
549
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
550
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
551
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
552
553
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
554
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
555
(John Arbash Meinel)
556
557
BUGFIXES:
558
559
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
560
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
561
562
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
563
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
564
565
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
566
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
567
568
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
569
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
570
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
571
572
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
573
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
574
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
575
576
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
577
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
578
579
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
580
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
581
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
582
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
583
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
584
unittest runner.
585
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
586
587
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
588
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
589
#185907)
590
591
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
592
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
593
594
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
595
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
596
597
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
598
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
599
600
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
601
more characters which should be considered valid.
602
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
603
604
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
605
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
606
607
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
608
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
609
610
API BREAKS:
611
612
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
613
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
614
615
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
616
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
617
(Martin Pool)
618
619
TESTING:
620
621
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
622
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
623
(Vincent Ladeuil)
624
625
INTERNALS:
626
627
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
628
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
629
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
630
631
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
632
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
633
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
634
635
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
636
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
637
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
638
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
639
640
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
641
642
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
643
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
644
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
645
server. (Robert Collins)
646
647
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
648
operate. (Robert Collins)
649
650
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
651
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
652
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
653
654
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
655
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
656
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
657
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
658
659
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
660
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
661
662
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
663
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
664
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
665
666
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
667
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
668
669
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
670
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
671
672
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
673
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
674
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
675
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

682
683
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
684
---------------------
685
686
CHANGES:
687
688
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
689
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
690
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
691
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
692
693
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
694
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
695
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
696
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
697
698
FEATURES:
699
700
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
701
(Lukáš Lalinský)
702
703
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
704
(Aaron Bentley)
705
706
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
707
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
708
709
IMPROVEMENTS:
710
711
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
712
#90049)
713
714
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
715
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
716
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
717
718
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
719
720
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
721
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
722
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
723
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
724
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
725
726
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
727
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
728
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
729
730
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
731
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
732
733
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
734
(Vincent Ladeuil)
735
736
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
737
738
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
739
740
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
741
(Aaron Bentley)
742
743
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
744
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
745
746
BUGFIXES:
747
748
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
749
(Martin Pool, #180208)
750
751
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
752
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
753
754
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
755
(Aaron Bentley)
756
757
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
758
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
759
760
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
761
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
762
763
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
764
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
765
766
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
767
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
768
769
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
770
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
771
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
772
773
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
774
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
775
776
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
777
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
778
(Aaron Bentley)
779
780
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
781
782
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
783
user:pass embedded in the urls.
784
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
785
786
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
787
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
788
789
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
790
(Aaron Bentley)
791
792
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
793
#148087)
794
795
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
796
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
797
798
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
799
#137681)
800
801
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
802
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
803
(Aaron Bentley)
804
805
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
806
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
807
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
808
809
DOCUMENTATION:
810
811
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
812
(Ian Clatworthy)
813
814
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
815
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
816
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
817
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
818
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
819
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
820
821
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
822
823
INTERNALS:
824
825
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
826
(Aaron Bentley)
827
828
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
829
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
830
831
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
832
833
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
834
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
835
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
836
Robert Collins)
837
838
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
839
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
840
841
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
842
(Vincent Ladeuil)
843
844
API BREAKS:
845
846
TESTING:
847
848
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
849
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
850
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
851
852
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
853
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
854
(Robert Collins)
855
856
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
857
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
858
859
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
860
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
861
862
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
863
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
864
865
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
866
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
867
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
868
869
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
870
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
871
872
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
873
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
874
875
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
876
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
877
(Vincent Ladeuil)
878
879
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
880
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
881
882
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
883
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

BUGFIXES:
914
915
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
916
917
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
918
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
919
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
920
feedback but also incur more latency.
921
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)

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

1013
---------------------
1014
1015
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1016
1017
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1018
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1019
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1020
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1021
1022
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1023
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1024
1025
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1026
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1027
1028
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1029
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1030
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1031
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1032
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1033
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1034
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1035
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1036
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1037
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1038
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1039
from any tree without problems.
1040
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
1041
1042
CHANGES:
1043
1044
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1045
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1046
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1047
1048
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
1049
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
1050
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
1051
(Martin Pool)
1052
1053
FEATURES:
1054
1055
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
1056
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
1057
supported transports.
1058
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1059
1060
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
1061
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
1062
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
1063
1064
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1065
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1066
1067
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
1068
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
1069
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
1070
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
1071
1072
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
1073
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
1074
1075
PERFORMANCE:
1076
1077
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
1078
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
1079
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
1080
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1081
1082
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
1083
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
1084
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
1085
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
1086
1087
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
1088
(Robert Collins, #88319)
1089
1090
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
1091
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
1092
1093
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1094
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1095
1096
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1097
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1098
(Aaron Bentley)
1099
1100
IMPROVEMENTS:
1101
1102
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1103
(Aaron Bentley)
1104
1105
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1106
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1107
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1108
1109
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1110
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1111
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1112
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1113
1114
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1115
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1116
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1117
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

BUG FIXES:
1122
1123
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
1124
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
1125
1126
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
1127
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
1128
1129
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
1130
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
1131
1132
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
1133
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
1134
1135
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
1136
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
1137
1138
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
1139
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
1140
1141
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
1142
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
1143
1144
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
1145
(Aaron Bentley)
1146
1147
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
1148
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
1149
1150
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
1151
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
1152
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
1153
1154
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
1155
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
1156
1157
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
1158
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
1159
1160
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
1161
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
1162
1163
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
1164
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
1165
1166
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
1167
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
1168
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
1169
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
1170
on them.
1171
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1172
1173
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
1174
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1175
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
1176
1177
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
1178
(Robert Collins, #161240)
1179
1180
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
1181
to be reconciled.
1182
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1183
1184
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1185
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1186
1187
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1188
specify a port in urls.
1189
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1190
1191
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
1192
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
1193
1194
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
1195
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
1196
1197
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
1198
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
1199
1200
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
1201
(Robert Collins, #153789)
1202
1203
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
1204
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
1205
(Robert Collins, #165304).
1206
1207
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
1208
1209
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
1210
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
1211
1212
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
1213
Watkins, #152811)
1214
1215
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
1216
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
1217
1218
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
1219
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
1220
1221
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
1222
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
1223
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
1224
1225
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
1226
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
1227
1228
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
1229
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
1230
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
1231
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
1232
1233
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
1234
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
1235
1236
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
1237
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
1238
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
1239
1240
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
1241
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
1242
1243
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
1244
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
1245
1246
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
1247
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
1248
1249
API BREAKS:
1250
1251
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
1252
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
1253
1254
* The return value of
1255
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
1256
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
1257
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
1258
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
1259
1260
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
1261
(Robert Collins)
1262
1263
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
1264
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
1265
format.
1266
(Martin Pool)
1267
1268
INTERNALS:
1269
1270
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
1271
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
1272
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
1273
Bennetts)
1274
1275
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
1276
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
1277
1278
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

1294
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1295
1296
CHANGES:
1297
1298
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
1299
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
1300
1301
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
1302
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
1303
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
1304
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
1305
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
1306
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
1307
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
1308
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
1309
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
1310
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
1311
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
1312
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
1313
(Robert Collins)
1314
1315
FEATURES:
1316
1317
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
1318
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
1319
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
1320
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
1321
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
1322
for further details. (Robert Collins)
1323
1324
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
1325
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
1326
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
1327
(Robert Collins)
1328
1329
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
1330
1331
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
1332
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
1333
1334
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
1335
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
1336
(Aaron Bentley)
1337
1338
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
1339
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
1340
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
1341
1342
PERFORMANCE:
1343
1344
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
1345
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1346
1347
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
1348
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
1349
1350
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
1351
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
1352
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
1353
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
1354
1355
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
1356
(Robert Collins)
1357
1358
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
1359
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
1360
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
1361
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
1362
1363
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
1364
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
1365
1366
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
1367
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1368
1369
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
1370
the contents. (Robert Collins)
1371
1372
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
1373
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
1374
1375
IMPROVEMENTS:
1376
1377
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
1378
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
1379
1380
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
1381
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
1382
1383
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
1384
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
1385
1386
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
1387
(Martin Pool, #63894)
1388
1389
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
1390
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
1391
1392
DOCUMENTATION:
1393
1394
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
1395
1396
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
1397
(Ian Clatworthy)
1398
1399
BUG FIXES:
1400
1401
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
1402
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
1403
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
1404
1405
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
1406
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
1407
1408
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
1409
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
1410
1411
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
1412
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
1413
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
1414
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
1415
1416
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
1417
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
1418
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
1419
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
1420
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
1421
1422
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
1423
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
1424
paramiko.
1425
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
1426
1427
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1428
1429
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
1430
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
1431
1432
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
1433
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
1434
1435
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
1436
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
1437
1438
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
1439
contains a symbolic link.
1440
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
1441
1442
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
1443
(James Westby, #140615)
1444
1445
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
1446
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
1447
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
1448
1449
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
1450
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
1451
(Martin Pool, #144633)
1452
1453
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1454
1455
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
1456
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
1457
1458
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
1459
will remain opened.
1460
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
1461
1462
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
1463
directory to detect leaking tests.
1464
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
1465
1466
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
1467
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
1468
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
1469
1470
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
1471
(Rob Weir, #141629)
1472
1473
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
1474
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
1475
1476
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
1477
Merwe)
1478
1479
API BREAKS:
1480
1481
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
1482
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
1483
1484
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
1485
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
1486
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
1487
1488
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
1489
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
1490
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
1491
1492
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
1493
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
1494
1495
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
1496
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
1497
1498
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
1499
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
1500
(Martin Pool)
1501
1502
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
1503
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
1504
1505
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
1506
class that needs it.
1507
(Martin Pool)
1508
1509
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
1510
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
1511
1512
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
1513
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
1514
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
1515
1516
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
1517
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
1518
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
1519
(Robert Collins)
1520
1521
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
1522
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
1523
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
1524
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
1525
(Robert Collins)
1526
1527
INTERNALS:
1528
1529
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1530
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1531
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1532
1533
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1534
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1535
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1536
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1537
1538
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1539
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1540
(Robert Collins)
1541
1542
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1543
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1544
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1545
1546
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1547
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1548
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1549
1550
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1551
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1552
1553
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1554
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1555
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1556
1557
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1558
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1559
1560
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1561
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1562
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1563
1564
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1565
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1566
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1567
1568
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1569
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1570
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1571
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1572
1573
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1574
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1575
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1576
returned. (Robert Collins)
1577
1578
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1579
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1580
1581
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1582
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1583
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1584
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1585
(Robert Collins)
1586
1587
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1588
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1589
1590
TESTING:
1591
1592
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1593
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1594
1595
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1596
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1597
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1598
makes this behavior available to other users.
1599
(Martin Pool)
1600
1601
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1602
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

1605
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
1606
-------------------
1607
1608
BUG FIXES:
1609
1610
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1611
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1612
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1613
1614
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1615
1616
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1617
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1618
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1619
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1620
1621
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1622
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
1623
(Andrew Bennetts)
1624
1625
1626
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1627
----------------------
1628
1629
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
1630
in bzrlib/remote.py.

1633
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
1634
----------------------
1635
1636
CHANGES:
1637
1638
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1639
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1640
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1641
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1642
(Martin Pool)
1643
1644
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1645
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1646
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1647
(Ian Clatworthy)
1648
1649
FEATURES:
1650
1651
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1652
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1653
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1654
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1655
1656
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1657
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1658
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1659
1660
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1661
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1662
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1663
1664
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1665
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1666
1667
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1668
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1669
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1670
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1671
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1672
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1673
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1674
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1675
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1676
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1677
1678
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1679
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1680
1681
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1682
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1683
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1684
1685
BUG FIXES:
1686
1687
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1688
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1689
1690
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1691
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1692
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1693
1694
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1695
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1696
1697
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1698
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1699
1700
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1701
(Aaron Bentley)
1702
1703
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1704
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1705
1706
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1707
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1708
1709
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1710
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1711
1712
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1713
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1714
1715
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1716
1717
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1718
Watkins, #106726)
1719
1720
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1721
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1722
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1723
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1724
1725
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1726
1727
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1728
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1729
#133548)
1730
1731
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1732
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1733
1734
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1735
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1736
#116143)
1737
1738
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1739
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1740
1741
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1742
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1743
1744
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1745
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1746
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1747
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1748
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1749
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1750
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1751
1752
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1753
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1754
1755
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1756
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1757
1758
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1759
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1760
1761
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1762
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1763
1764
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1765
connections.
1766
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1767
1768
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1769
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1770
1771
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1772
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1773
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1774
1775
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1776
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1777
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1778
1779
IMPROVEMENTS:
1780
1781
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1782
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1783
1784
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1785
(Aaron Bentley)
1786
1787
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1788
(Aaron Bentley)
1789
1790
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1791
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1792
1793
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1794
1795
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1796
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1797
1798
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1799
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1800
1801
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1802
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1803
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1804
space). (Robert Collins)
1805
1806
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1807
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1808
(Ian Clatworthy)
1809
1810
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1811
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1812
1813
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1814
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1815
1816
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1817
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1818
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1819
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1820
1821
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1822
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1823
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1824
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1825
1826
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1827
(Ian Clatworthy)
1828
1829
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1830
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1831
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1832
1833
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1834
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1835
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1836
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1837
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1838
1839
API BREAKS:
1840
1841
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1842
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1843
1844
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1845
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1846
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1847
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1848
affected. (Robert Collins)
1849
1850
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1851
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1852
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1853
(Robert Collins)
1854
1855
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1856
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1857
1858
TESTING:
1859
1860
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1861
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1862
1863
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1864
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1865
1866
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1867
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1868
1869
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1870
(Aaron Bentley)
1871
1872
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1873
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)

* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1878
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1879
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1880
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1881
1882
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1883
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1884
1885
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1886
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1887
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1888
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1889
1890
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1891
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1892
present. (Robert Collins)
1893
1894
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1895
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1896
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1897
API. (Robert Collins)
1898
1899
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1900
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1901
(Robert Collins)
1902
1903
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1904
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1905
1906
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1907
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1908
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1909
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1910
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1911
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1912
1913
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1914
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1915
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1916
1917
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1918
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1919
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1920
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1921
protocol.
1922
1923
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1924
(Aaron Bentley)
1925
1926
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1927
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1928
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1929
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1930
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1931
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1932
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1933
1934
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1935
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1936
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1937
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1938
1939
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1940
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1941
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1942
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1943
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1944
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1945
1946
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1947
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1948
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1949
1950
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1951
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

-------------------
1956
1957
IMPROVEMENTS:
1958
1959
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1960
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1961
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1962
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1963
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1964
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1965
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

1969
API CHANGES:
1970
1971
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1972
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1973
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
1974

1977
----------------------
1978
1979
BUGFIXES:
1980
1981
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1982
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1983
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1984
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1985
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1986
1987
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1988
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1989
1990
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1991
anymore.
1992
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
1993
1994
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
1995
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
1996
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1997
1998
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
1999
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2000
#111664)
2001
2002
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2003
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2004
2005
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2006
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2007
2008
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2009
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2010
2011
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2012
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2013
2014
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2015
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2016
2017
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2018
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2019
2020
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2021
(Aaron Bentley)
2022
2023
IMPROVEMENTS:
2024
2025
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2026
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2027
2028
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2029
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2030
2031
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2032
the repository (Robert Collins)
2033
2034
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2035
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2036
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2037
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2038
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2039
2040
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2041
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2042
2043
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2044
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2045
(John Arbash Meinel)
2046
2047
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2048
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2049
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2050
about 10%).
2051
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2052
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2053
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2054
(John Arbash Meinel)
2055
2056
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2057
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2058
(Robert Collins)
2059
2060
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2061
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2062
2063
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2064
(Ian Clatworthy)
2065
2066
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2067
2068
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2069
2070
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2071
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2072
2073
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2074
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2075
Meinel)
2076
2077
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2078
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2079
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2080
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2081
2082
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2083
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
2084
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
2085
2086
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
2087
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
2088
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
2089
2090
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2091
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2092
2093
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2094
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2095
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2096
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2097
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2098
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2099
(Ian Clatworthy)
2100
2101
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2102
(Alexander Belchenko)
2103
2104
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2105
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2106
2107
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2108
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2109
2110
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2111
2112
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2113
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2114
2115
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2116
2117
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2118
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2119
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2120
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2121
2122
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2123
2124
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2125
(Robert Collins)
2126
2127
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2128
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2129
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2130
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2131
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2132
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2133
2134
INTERNALS:
2135
2136
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2137
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2138
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2139
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2140
2141
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2142
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2143
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2144
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2145
tests have been refactored too.
2146
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2147
2148
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2149
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2150
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2151
list, it will.
2152
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2153
2154
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2155
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2156
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2157
2158
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2159
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2160
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2161
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2162
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2163
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2164
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2165
2166
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2167
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2168
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2169
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2170
(John Arbash Meinel)
2171
2172
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2173
functionality for testing.
2174
2175
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2176
2177
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2178
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2179
2180
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2181
2182
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2183
(Robert Collins)
2184
2185
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2186
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2187
2188
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2189
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2190
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2191
2192
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2193
(Aaron Bentley)
2194
2195
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2196
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2197
2198
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2199
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2200
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2201
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2202
2203
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2204
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2205
2206
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2207
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2208
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2209
2210
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2211
(Marius Kruger)
2212
2213
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2214
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2215
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2216
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2217
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
2218
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2219
2220
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
2221
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
2222
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
2223
many files. (Robert Collins)
2224
2225
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
2226
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
2227
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
2228
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
2229
2230
TESTING:
2231
2232
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
2233
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
2234
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
2235
2236
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
2237
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
2238
2239
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
2240
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
2241
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
2256
2257
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
2258
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
2259
2260
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
2261
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
2262
(James Westby, #122656)
2263
2264
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
2265
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
2266
2267
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
2268
authentication header.
2269
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
2270
2271
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
2272
2273
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
2274
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
2275
2276
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
2277
2278
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
2279
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
2280
2281
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
2282
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
2283
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
2284
2285
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
2286
individually and as part of revision ranges.
2287
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
2288
2289
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
2290
(Martin Pool, #109169)
2291
2292
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
2293
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
2294
2295
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
2296
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
2297
2298
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2299
2300
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
2301
2302
IMPROVEMENTS:
2303
2304
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
2305
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
2306
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
2307
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
2308
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
2309
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
2310
2311
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
2312
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
2313
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
2314
2315
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
2316
(Elliot Murphy)
2317
2318
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
2319
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
2320
2321
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
2322
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
2323
2324
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
2325
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
2326
2327
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
2328
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
2329
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
2330
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
2331
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
2332
2333
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
2334
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
2335
2336
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
2337
can be slow it is useful feedback).
2338
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
2339
2340
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
2341
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
2342
2343
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
2344
2345
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
2346
output. (Aaron Bentley)
2347
2348
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
2349
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
2350
(Robert Collins)
2351
2352
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
2353
(Martin Pool)
2354
2355
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
2356
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
2357
2358
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
2359
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
2360
2361
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
2362
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
2363
2364
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
2365
2366
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
2367
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
2368
2369
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
2370
(Andrew Bennetts)
2371
2372
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2373
2374
* Testing cleanups -
2375
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2376
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
2377
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2378
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
2379
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2380
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
2381
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2382
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
2383
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2384
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
2385
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
2386
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
2387
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2388
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
2389
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2390
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
2391
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
2392
(Robert Collins)
2393
2394
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
2395
2396
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
2397
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
2398
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
2399
2400
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
2401
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
2402
2403
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
2404
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2405
2406
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
2407
2408
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
2409
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
2410
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
2411
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
2412
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
2413
same location. (Robert Collins)
2414
2415
INTERNALS:
2416
2417
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
2418
2419
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
2420
2421
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
2422
2423
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
2424
(Martin Pool)
2425
2426
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
2427
(Martin Pool)
2428
2429
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
2430
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
2431
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
2432
2433
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
2434
2435
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
2436
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
2437
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
2438
2439
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
2440
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
2441
2442
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
2443
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
2444
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
2445
2446
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
2447
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
2448
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
2449
2450
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
2451
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
2452
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
2453
2454
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
2455
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
2456
Martin Pool)
2457
2458
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
2459
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
2460
2461
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
2462
(Alexander Belchenko)
2463
2464
TESTING:
2465
2466
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
2467
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
2468
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
2469
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2470
2471
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
2472
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
2473
testing. (Robert Collins)
2474
2475
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
2476
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
2477
2478
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
2479
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
2480
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
2481
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
2482
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
2483
attribute during the test parameterisation in
2484
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
2485
2486
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
2487
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
2488
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
2489
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
2490
2491
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
2492
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
2493
2494
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
2495
avoid useless cloning.

2514
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2515
2516
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
2517
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
2518
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
2519
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
2520
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
2521
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
2522
and unlock() like so::
2523
2524
work_tree.lock_read()
2525
try:
2526
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
2527
finally:
2528
work_tree.unlock()
2529
2530
INTERNALS:
2531
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
2532
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
2533
object.
2534
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
2535
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
2536
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
2537
2538
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2539
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2540
too. (Robert Collins)
2541
2542
IMPROVEMENTS:
2543
2544
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
2545
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
2546
Aaron Bentley)
2547
2548
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
2549
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
2550
2551
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
2552
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
2553
2554
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
2555
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
2556
understanding what changes have occurred
2557
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
2558
2559
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
2560
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
2561
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2562
2563
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
2564
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
2565
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
2566
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2567
2568
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2569
#56322)
2570
2571
BUGFIXES:
2572
2573
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
2574
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
2575
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
2576
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
2577
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
2578
2579
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2580
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2581
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2582
2583
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
2584
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
2585
2586
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
2587
into account.
2588
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2589
2590
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2591
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2592
2593
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2594
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2595
2596
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2597
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2598
2599
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2600
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2601
2602
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2603
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2604
2605
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2606
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2607
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

2609
bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
2610
--------------------
2611
2612
BUGFIXES:
2613
2614
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2615
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2616
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2617
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2618
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2619
2620
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2621
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2622
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2623
2624
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2625
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2626
2627
IMPROVEMENTS:
2628
2629
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2630
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2631
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2632
2633
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2634
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2635
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2636
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
2637
2638
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
2639
-----------------------
2640
2641
BUGFIXES:
2642
2643
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2644
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2645
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2646
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2647
2648
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2649
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2650
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
2651
2652
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2653
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
2654
2655
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
2656
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
2657
2658
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
2659
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
2660
2661
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
2662
-----------------------
2663
2664
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2665
2666
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
2667
it could be recovered again.
2668
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
2669
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
2670
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
2671
but not delete it.
2672
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
2673
files.
2674
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
2675
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
2676
2677
IMPROVEMENTS:
2678
2679
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
2680
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
2681
2682
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
2683
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
2684
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
2685
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
2686
2687
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
2688
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
2689
2690
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
2691
tests with names that match that regular expression.
2692
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
2693
2694
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
2695
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
2696
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
2697
2698
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
2699
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
2700
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
2701
2702
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
2703
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
2704
Robert Collins)
2705
2706
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
2707
Pool)
2708
2709
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
2710
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
2711
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
2712
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
2713
2714
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
2715
(Robert Collins)
2716
2717
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
2718
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
2719
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
2720
(Robert Collins)
2721
2722
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
2723
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
2724
2725
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
2726
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
2727
2728
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
2729
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
2730
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
2731
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
2732
(Robert Collins)
2733
2734
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
2735
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
2736
2737
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
2738
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2739
2740
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
2741
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
2742
(Robert Collins, #107125).
2743
2744
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
2745
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
2746
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
2747
2748
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
2749
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
2750
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2751
2752
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
2753
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
2754
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
2755
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
2756
2757
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
2758
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
2759
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
2760
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
2761
2762
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
2763
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
2764
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
2765
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
2766
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
2767
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
2768
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
2769
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
2770
header(s).
2771
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2772
2773
INTERNALS:
2774
2775
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
2776
code paths. (Robert Collins)
2777
2778
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
2779
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
2780
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
2781
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
2782
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2783
2784
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
2785
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
2786
2787
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
2788
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
2789
2790
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
2791
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
2792
2793
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
2794
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
2795
2796
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
2797
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
2798
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
2799
(Robert Collins).
2800
2801
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
2802
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
2803
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
2804
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
2805
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
2806
(Robert Collins)
2807
2808
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
2809
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
2810
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
2811
2812
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
2813
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
2814
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2815
2816
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
2817
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
2818
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
2819
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2820
2821
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
2822
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
2823
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
2824
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
2825
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
2826
2827
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
2828
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
2829
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
2830
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2831
2832
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
2833
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2834
2835
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
2836
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
2837
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
2838
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
2839
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
2840
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
2841
2842
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
2843
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
2844
2845
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
2846
help. (Robert Collins)
2847
2848
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
2849
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2850
2851
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
2852
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
2853
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
2854
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
2855
(John Arbash Meinel)
2856
2857
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
2858
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
2859
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
2860
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
2861
useful. (Robert Collins)
2862
2863
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
2864
(Andrew Bennetts)
2865
2866
BUGFIXES:
2867
2868
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
2869
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
2870
2871
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
2872
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
2873
2874
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
2875
properly and is no longer beneficial.
2876
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
2877
2878
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2879
(Aaron Bentley)
2880
2881
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2882
the file, and does it faster.
2883
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2884
2885
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2886
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2887
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2888
2889
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2890
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2891
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2892
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2893
2894
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2895
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2896
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2897
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2898
2899
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2900
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2901
2902
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2903
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2904
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2905
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2906
Arbash Meinel)
2907
2908
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2909
2910
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2911
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2912
2913
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2914
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2915
2916
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2917
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2918
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2919
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2920
security hole.
2921
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2922
2923
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2924
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2925
2926
TESTING:
2927
2928
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2929
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2930
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2931
2932
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2933
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2934
2935
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2936
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2937
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2938
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2939
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2940
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2941
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2942
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2943
2944
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2945
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2946
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2947
2948
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2949
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2950
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2951
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2952
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2953
access.
2954
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2955
2956
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2957
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2958
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2959
2960
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2961
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

2979
CHANGES:
2980
2981
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2982
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2983
(Martin Pool)
2984
2985
IMPROVEMENTS:
2986
2987
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2988
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2989
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2990
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2991
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
2992
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
2993
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
2994
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
2995
path. (vila)
2996
2997
INTERNALS:
2998
2999
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3000
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3001
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3002
3003
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3004
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3005
(Martin Pool)
3006
3007
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3008
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3009
(John Arbash Meinel)
3010
3011
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3012
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3013
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3014
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3015
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3016
3017
BUGFIXES:
3018
3019
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3020
(vila, #92195)
3021
3022
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3023
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3024
3025
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3026
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3027
3028
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3029
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3030
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3031
3032
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3033
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3034
3035
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3036
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3037
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3038
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3039
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3040
3041
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3042
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3043
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3044
3045
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

3049
-----------------------
3050
3051
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3052
3053
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3054
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3055
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3056
3057
IMPROVEMENTS:
3058
3059
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3060
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3061
3062
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3063
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3064
3065
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3066
3067
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3068
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3069
3070
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3071
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3072
3073
INTERNALS:
3074
3075
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3076
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
3077
3078
BUGFIXES:
3079
3080
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3081
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3082
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3083
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3084
3085
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3086
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3087
3088
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3089
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3090
3091
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3092
(Marien Zwart)
3093
3094
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

3098
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
3099
-----------------------
3100
3101
SURPRISES:
3102
3103
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
3104
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
3105
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
3106
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
3107
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
3108
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
3109
3110
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
3111
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
3112
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
3113
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
3114
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
3115
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
3116
development.
3117
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3118
3119
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
3120
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
3121
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
3122
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
3123
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
3124
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
3125
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
3126
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3127
3128
IMPROVEMENTS:
3129
3130
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3131
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3132
3133
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
3134
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
3135
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
3136
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
3137
does exist.
3138
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
3139
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
3140
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
3141
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
3142
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
3143
3144
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
3145
(Aaron Bentley)
3146
3147
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3148
(Aaron Bentley)
3149
3150
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3151
(Robert Collins)
3152
3153
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3154
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3155
(Aaron Bentley)
3156
3157
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3158
(Aaron Bentley)
3159
3160
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3161
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3162
3163
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3164
directory. (Martin Pool)
3165
3166
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3167
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3168
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3169
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3170
3171
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3172
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3173
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3174
in docs/configuration.txt.
3175
3176
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3177
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
3178
bind location.
3179
3180
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
3181
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
3182
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
3183
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
3184
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
3185
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3186
3187
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3188
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3189
3190
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3191
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3192
3193
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
3194
(Aaron Bentley)
3195
3196
INTERNALS:
3197
3198
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
3199
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
3200
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
3201
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
3202
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
3203
(John Arbash Meinel)
3204
3205
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
3206
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
3207
(Aaron Bentley)
3208
3209
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
3210
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
3211
(John Arbash Meinel)
3212
3213
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
3214
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
3215
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
3216
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
3217
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
3218
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
3219
3220
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
3221
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
3222
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
3223
3224
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
3225
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
3226
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
3227
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
3228
repository.
3229
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3230
3231
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
3232
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
3233
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
3234
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
3235
3236
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
3237
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
3238
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
3239
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
3240
3241
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
3242
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
3243
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
3244
3245
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
3246
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
3247
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
3248
3249
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
3250
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
3251
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
3252
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
3253
3254
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
3255
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
3256
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
3257
3258
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
3259
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
3260
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
3261
3262
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
3263
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
3264
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
3265
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
3266
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
3267
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
3268
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
3269
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
3270
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
3273
3274
BUGFIXES:
3275
3276
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
3277
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
3278
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
3279
3280
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
3281
(Aaron Bentley)
3282
3283
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
3284
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
3285
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
3286
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
3287
3288
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
3289
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
3290
#83954).
3291
3292
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
3293
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
3294
3295
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
3296
3297
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
3298
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
3299
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
3300
3301
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
3302
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
3303
3304
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
3305
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
3306
3307
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
3308
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
3309
3310
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
3311
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
3312
3313
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)

* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
3316
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
3317

TESTING:
3319
3320

3327
IMPROVEMENTS:
3328
3329
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
3330
3331
BUG FIXES:
3332
3333
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
3334
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
3335
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
3336
3337
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
3338
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
3339
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
3343
-----------------------
3344
3345
IMPROVEMENTS:
3346
3347
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
3348
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
3349
server, then you can write over the http connection.
3350
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3351
3352
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
3353
(Marius Kruger)
3354
3355
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
3356
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
3357
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3358
3359
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
3360
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
3361
3362
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
3363
(Aaron Bentley)
3364
3365
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
3366
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
3367
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
3368
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
3369
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
3370
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
3371
3372
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
3373
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
3374
should enable you to do::
3375
3376
[/home/user/project]
3377
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
3378
push_location:policy = appendpath
3379
3380
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
3381
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
3382
(James Henstridge)
3383
3384
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
3385
for each file. For example::
3386
3387
$ bzr status --short
3388
A foo
3389
A bar
3390
D baz
3391
? wooley
3392
3393
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
3394
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
3395
3396
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
3397
3398
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
3399
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
3400
3401
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
3402
3403
INTERNALS:
3404
3405
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
3406
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
3407
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
3408
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
3409
3410
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
3411
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
3412
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
3413
3414
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3415
3416
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
3417
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
3418
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
3419
(Alexander Belchenko)
3420
3421
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
3422
Pool)
3423
3424
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
3425
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
3426
3427
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
3428
3429
BUG FIXES:
3430
3431
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
3432
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
3433
3434
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
3435
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
3436
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
3437
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
3438
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
3439
3440
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
3441
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
3442
3443
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
3444
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
3445
3446
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
3447
matcher.
3448
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
3449
3450
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
3451
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
3452
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
3453
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
3454
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
3455
3456
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
3457
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
3458
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
3459
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
3460
3461
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
3462
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
3463
3464
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
3465
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
3466
3467
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
3468
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
3469
3470
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
3483
3484
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
3485
tree from a branch.
3486
(Daniel Silverstone)
3487
3488
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
3489
operations are substantially faster.
3490
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
3491
3492
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
3493
tree from some other url. For example:
3494
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
3495
(Daniel Silverstone)
3496
3497
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
3498
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
3499
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
3500
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
3501
3502
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
3503
(Andrew Bennetts)
3504
3505
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
3506
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
3507
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
3508
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
3509
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
3510
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
3511
3512
INTERNALS:
3513
3514
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
3515
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
3516
(Martin Pool)
3517
3518
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3519
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3520
(John Arbash Meinel)
3521
3522
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
3523
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
3524
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
3525
(John Arbash Meinel)
3526
3527
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
3528
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3529
3530
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3531
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3532
3533
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3534
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3535
Bennetts)
3536
3537
BUG FIXES:
3538
3539
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
3540
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
3541
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
3542
3543
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
3544
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
3545
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
3546
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
3547
3548
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3549
3550
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3551
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3552
3553
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3554
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3555
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
3556
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3557
3558
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3559
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3560
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3561
3562
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3563
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3564
them as full references rather than integers.
3565
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3566
3567
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3568
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3569
3570
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3571
3572
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3573
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3574
3575
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3576
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3577
3578
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3579
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3580
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3581
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3582
3583
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3584
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3585
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3586
3587
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3588
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3589
3590
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3591
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3592
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3593
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3594
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3595
3596
TESTING:
3597
3598
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3599
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

3611
-----------------------
3612
3613
IMPROVEMENTS:
3614
3615
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3616
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3617
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3618
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3619
3620
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3621
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3622
3623
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3624
3625
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3626
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3627
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3628
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3629
3630
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3631
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3632
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3633
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3634
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3635
3636
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3637
3638
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3639
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3640
3641
INTERNALS:
3642
3643
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3644
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3645
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3646
3647
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3648
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3649
(John Arbash Meinel)
3650
3651
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3652
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3653
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3654
3655
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3656
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3657
(Aaron Bentley)
3658
3659
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3660
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3661
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3662
3663
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3664
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3665
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3666
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3667
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3668
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3669
3670
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3671
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3672
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3673
(Robert Collins)
3674
3675
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3676
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3677
3678
BUG FIXES:
3679
3680
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3681
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3682
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3683
#63360, #66349)
3684
3685
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3686
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3687
3688
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3689
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3690
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3691
3692
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3693
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3694
3695
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3696
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3697
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3698
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3699
3700
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3701
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3702
3703
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3704
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3705
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3706
3707
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3708
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3709
3710
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3711
3712
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3713
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3714
#32054)
3715
3716
TESTING:
3717
3718
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3719
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3720
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3721
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3722
3723
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3724
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3725
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3726
3727
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
3728
--------------------
3729
3730
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
3731
3732
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
3733
-----------------------
3734
3735
BUG FIXES:
3736
3737
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
3738
3739
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
3740
Arbash Meinel).
3741
3742
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
3743
-----------------------
3744
3745
IMPROVEMENTS:
3746
3747
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3748
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3749
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3750
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3751
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3752
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3753
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3754
3755
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3756
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3757
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3758
3759
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3760
3761
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3762
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3763
3764
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3765
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3766
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3767
(Robert Collins)
3768
3769
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3770
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3771
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3772
(John Arbash Meinel)
3773
3774
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3775
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3776
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3777
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3778
Pool)
3779
3780
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3781
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3782
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
3783
(John Arbash Meinel)
3784
3785
BUG FIXES:
3786
3787
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
3788
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
3789
3790
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3791
3792
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3793
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3794
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
3795
3796
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3797
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
3798
3799
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3800
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3801
3802
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3803
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3804
3805
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
3806
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
3807
3808
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3809
3810
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3811
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3812
3813
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3814
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3815
3816
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3817
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3818
3819
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3820
(John Arbash Meinel)
3821
3822
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3823
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3824
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3825
3826
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3827
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3828
3829
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3830
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3831
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3832
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3833
3834
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3835
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3836
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
3837
3838
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
3839
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
3840
3841
PORTABILITY:
3842
3843
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3844
3845
INTERNALS:
3846
3847
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3848
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3849
(John Arbash Meinel)
3850
3851
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3852
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3853
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3854
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3855
3856
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3857
(Andrew Bennetts)
3858
3859
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3860
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3861
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3862
3863
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3864
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3865
3866
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3867
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3868
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3869
3870
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3871
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3872
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3873
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3874
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3875
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3876
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3877
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3878
caller to repeat their request.
3879
(John Arbash Meinel)
3880
3881
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3882
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3883
3884
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3885
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3886
3887
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3888
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3889
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3890
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3891
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3892
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3893
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3894
3895
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3896
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3897
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3898
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3899
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3900
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3901
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3902
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3903
(Robert Collins)
3904
3905
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3906
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3907
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3908
3909
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3910
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3911
3912
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3913
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3914
3915
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3916
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3917
3918
TESTING:
3919
3920
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3921
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3922
3923
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3924
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3925
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3926
3927
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3928
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3929
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3930
3931
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
3932
--------------------
3933
3934
IMPROVEMENTS:
3935
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3936
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3937
3938
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3939
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3940
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3941
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3942
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3943
3944
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3945
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3946
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3947
3948
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3949
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3950
3951
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3952
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3953
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3954
3955
BUG FIXES:
3956
3957
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3958
3959
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3960
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
3961
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
3962
3963
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
3964
3965
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
3966
3967
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
3968
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
3969
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
3970
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
3971
3972
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
3973
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
3974
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
3975
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
3976
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
3977
3978
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
3979
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
3980
3981
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
3982
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
3983
3984
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
3985
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
3986
3987
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
3988
in handling of revision properties.
3989
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
3990
3991
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
3992
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
3993
3994
INTERNALS:
3995
3996
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
3997
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
3998
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
3999
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
4000
(John Arbash Meinel)
4001
4002
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
4003
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
4004
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4005
4006
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4007
---------------------
4008
4009
SURPRISES:
4010
4011
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
4012
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
4013
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
4014
specific one '.bzrignore'.
4015
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
4016
a more conservative list than the old default.
4017
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
4018
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
4019
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
4020
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
4021
4022
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4023
to more locations than just branch locations.
4024
(Aaron Bentley)
4025
4026
IMPROVEMENTS:
4027
4028
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
4029
revno:N:branch. For example,
4030
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
4031
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4032
4033
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
4034
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
4035
the path of a file that has been versioned.
4036
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
4037
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
4038
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
4039
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
4040
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
4041
#42517, #42514)
4042
4043
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
4044
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
4045
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
4046
(Malone #3507)
4047
4048
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
4049
(Alexander Belchenko)
4050
4051
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
4052
4053
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
4054
(Robert Collins).
4055
4056
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
4057
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
4058
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
4059
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
4060
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
4061
(John Arbash Meinel)
4062
4063
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
4064
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
4065
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
4066
grained analysis of performance.
4067
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4068
4069
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
4070
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
4071
4072
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
4073
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
4074
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
4075
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
4076
file. (Robert Collins).
4077
4078
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
4079
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
4080
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
4081
4082
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
4083
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
4084
Matthieu Moy)
4085
4086
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
4087
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
4088
4089
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
4090
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
4091
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
4092
the same way you would apply another branch.
4093
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4094
4095
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
4096
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
4097
4098
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
4099
(Michael Ellerman)
4100
4101
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
4102
(Aaron Bentley)
4103
4104
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
4105
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
4106
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)

* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
4109
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
4110
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
4111
4112
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
4113
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
4114
4115
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
4116
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
4117
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
4118
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
4119
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
4120
4121
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
4122
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
4123
4124
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
4125
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
4126
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
4127
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
4128
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
4129
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
4130
branch is as much as 4x faster.
4131
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
4132
4133
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
4134
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
4135
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
4136
4137
BUG FIXES:
4138
4139
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4140
tests not to run.
4141
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4142
4143
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4144
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4145
4146
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4147
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4148
4149
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4150
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4151
4152
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4153
4154
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4155
(John Arbash Meinel)
4156
4157
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4158
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4159
4160
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4161
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4162
and y.
4163
4164
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4165
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4166
4167
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4168
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4169
4170
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4171
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4172
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4173
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4174
4175
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4176
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4177
4178
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4179
4180
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4181
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4182
4183
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4184
4185
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4186
4187
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4188
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4189
4190
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4191
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4192
4193
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4194
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4195
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4196
4197
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4198
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4199
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4200
4201
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4202
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4203
4204
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4205
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4206
4207
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4208
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4209
4210
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4211
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4212
4213
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4214
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
4215
4216
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
4217
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
4218
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
4219
4220
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
4221
4222
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
4223
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
4224
4225
INTERNALS:
4226
4227
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
4228
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
4229
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
4230
4231
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
4232
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
4233
4234
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
4235
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
4236
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4237
4238
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
4239
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4240
4241
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
4242
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
4243
(Martin Pool)
4244
4245
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
4246
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
4247
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4248
4249
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
4250
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
4251
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4252
4253
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
4254
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
4255
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
4256
4257
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
4258
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
4259
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
4260
4261
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
4262
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
4263
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
4264
4265
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
4266
instead. (Robert Collins)
4267
4268
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

4283
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
4284
4285
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
4286
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4287
4288
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
4289
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

CHANGES:
4302
4303
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
4304
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from

4306
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
4307
4308
NEW FEATURES:
4309
4310
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into

4325
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
4326
-------------------
4327
4328
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4329
4330
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
4331
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
4332
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
4333
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
4334
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
4335
will keep the same format.
4336
4337
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
4338
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
4339
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
4340
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
4341
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
4342
4343
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
4344
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
4345
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
4346
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
4347
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
4348
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
4349
indicating the current revision of the branch.
4350
4351
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
4352
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
4353
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
4354
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
4355
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
4356
4357
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
4358
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
4359
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
4360
arrangement.
4361
4362
4363
IMPROVEMENTS:
4364
4365
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
4366
convention. Paths now take the form::
4367
4368
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
4369
or
4370
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
4371
4372
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
4373
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
4374
4375
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
4376
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
4377
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
4378
4379
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
4380
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
4381
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
4382
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
4383
4384
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
4385
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
4386
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
4387
4388
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
4389
4390
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
4391
4392
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
4393
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
4394
commits::
4395
4396
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
4397
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
4398
| xargs bzr re-sign
4399
4400
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
4401
4402
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
4403
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
4404
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
4405
(Robert Collins)
4406
4407
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
4408
4409
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
4410
4411
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
4412
'.moved'.
4413
4414
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
4415
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
4416
4417
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
4418
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
4419
Daniel Silverstone)
4420
4421
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
4422
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
4423
Martin Pool)
4424
4425
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
4426
4427
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
4428
4429
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
4430
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
4431
4432
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
4433
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
4434
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
4435
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
4436
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
4437
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
4438
4439
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
4440
4441
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
4442
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
4443
(Robert Collins)
4444
4445
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
4446
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
4447
4448
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
4449
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
4450
4451
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
4452
4453
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
4454
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
4455
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
4456
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
4457
specification by Martin Pool.
4458
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
4459
4460
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
4461
Belchenko)
4462
4463
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
4464
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4465
4466
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
4467
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
4468
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
4469
4470
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
4471
4472
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
4473
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
4474
(Robert Collins)
4475
4476
CHANGES:
4477
4478
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
4479
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4480
4481
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
4482
4483
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
4484
4485
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
4486
(Olaf Conradi)
4487
4488
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
4489
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
4490
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
4491
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
4492
4493
INTERNALS:
4494
4495
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
4496
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
4497
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
4498
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4499
4500
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
4501
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
4502
tried. (Martin Pool)
4503
4504
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
4505
(Martin Pool)
4506
4507
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
4508
4509
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
4510
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
4511
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
4512
4513
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
4514
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
4515
4516
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
4517
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
4518
paths. (Robert Collins)
4519
4520
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
4521
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
4522
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
4523
4524
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
4525
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
4526
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
4527
4528
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4529
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4530
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4531
4532
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4533
(Olaf Conradi)
4534
4535
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4536
(Olaf Conradi)
4537
4538
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4539
4540
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4541
4542
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
4543
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
4544
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
4545
(Robert Collins)
4546
4547
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4548
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4549
4550
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
4551
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
4552
check. (Robert Collins)
4553
4554
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4555
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4556
4557
TESTING:
4558
4559
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4560
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4561
4562
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4563
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4564
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4565
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4566
4567
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4568
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4569
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4570
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4571
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4572
4573
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4574
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4575
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4576
4577
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4578
4579
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4580
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

4585
CHANGES:
4586
4587
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4588
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4589
4590
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4591
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4592
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4593
(Johan Rydberg)
4594
4595
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4596
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4597
4598
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4599
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4600
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4601
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4602
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4603
4604
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4605
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4606
used. (Robert Collins)
4607
4608
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4609
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4610
(James Henstridge)
4611
4612
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4613
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4614
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4615
4616
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4617
ignore list.
4618
4619
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4620
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4621
4622
IMPROVEMENTS:
4623
4624
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4625
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4626
4627
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4628
4629
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4630
4631
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4632
tree. (Robert Collins)
4633
4634
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4635
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4636
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4637
(Robert Collins)
4638
4639
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4640
that they be kept.
4641
4642
* Tweaks to short log printing
4643
4644
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4645
(Aaron Bentley)
4646
4647
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4648
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4649
4650
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4651
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4652
4653
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4654
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4655
4656
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
4657
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4658
settings. (Magnus Therning)
4659
4660
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
4661
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4662
4663
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4664
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4665
requests.
4666
4667
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4668
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4669
4670
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
4671
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
4672
4673
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
4674
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
4675
4676
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
4677
(Denys Duchier)
4678
4679
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
4680
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4681
4682
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4683
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4684
4685
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4686
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4687
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
4688
4689
BUG FIXES:
4690
4691
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
4692
4693
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4694
4695
* Error when run with -OO
4696
4697
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
4698
(Martin Pool)
4699
4700
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4701
4702
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4703
4704
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4705
ignored by diff and status
4706
4707
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4708
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
4709
4710
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
4711
4712
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4713
4714
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4715
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4716
4717
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4718
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4719
4720
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4721
(Harald Meland)
4722
4723
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4724
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4725
4726
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4727
4728
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4729
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4730
4731
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4732
(Martin Pool)
4733
4734
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4735
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4736
4737
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4738
4739
TESTING:
4740
4741
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4742
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4743
4744
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4745
4746
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4747
4748
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4749
4750
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4751
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4752
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4753
4754
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4755
4756
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4757
(John Arbash Meinel)
4758
4759
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4760
4761
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4762
If adding a new test script please add that to
4763
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4764
4765
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4766
imported. (Martin Pool)
4767
4768
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4769
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4770
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4771
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4772
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4773
(Robert Collins)
4774
4775
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4776
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4777
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4778
4779
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4780
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4781
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4782
4783
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4784
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4785
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4786
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4787
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4788
(Robert Collins).
4789
4790
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4791
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4792
(Robert Collins).
4793
4794
INTERNALS:
4795
4796
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4797
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4798
4799
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4800
function. (Robert Collins)
4801
4802
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4803
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4804
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4805
4806
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4807
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4808
(Robert Collins)
4809
4810
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4811
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4812
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4813
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4814
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4815
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4816
version. (Robert Collins)
4817
4818
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4819
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4820
4821
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4822
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4823
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4824
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4825
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4826
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4827
4828
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4829
(Robert Collins)
4830
4831
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4832
4833
add()
4834
commit()
4835
move()
4836
rename_one()
4837
unknowns()
4838
4839
(Robert Collins)
4840
4841
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4842
4843
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4844
4845
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4846
Pool)
4847
4848
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4849
query method. (Robert Collins)
4850
4851
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4852
(Denys Duchier)
4853
4854
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4855
(Michael Ellerman)
4856
4857
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4858
(Michael Ellerman)
4859
4860
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4861
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4862
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4863
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4864
4865
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4866
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4867
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4868
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4869
4870
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4871
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

4874
------------------
4875
4876
IMPROVEMENTS:
4877
4878
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4879
(John A Meinel)
4880
4881
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4882
conflicts.
4883
(Aaron Bentley)
4884
4885
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4886
a separator, not ':'.
4887
(Aaron Bentley)
4888
4889
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4890
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4891
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4892
4893
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4894
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4895
(Robert Collins)
4896
4897
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4898
has been added that suppresses all output.
4899
4900
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4901
Adams.
4902
4903
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4904
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4905
4906
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4907
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4908
4909
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4910
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4911
4912
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4913
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4914
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4915
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4916
4917
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4918
4919
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4920
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4921
4922
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4923
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4924
4925
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4926
output directory, if one was supplied.
4927
4928
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4929
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4930
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4931
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4932
4933
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4934
4935
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4936
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4937
4938
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4939
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4940
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4941
4942
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4943
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4944
4945
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4946
(Aaron Bentley)
4947
4948
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4949
4950
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4951
4952
TESTING:
4953
4954
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4955
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4956
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4957
4958
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4959
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4960
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4961
4962
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
4963
is given. (Martin Pool)
4964
4965
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
4966
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
4967
file. (Robert Collins)
4968
4969
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
4970
(Martin Pool)
4971
4972
INTERNALS:
4973
4974
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
4975
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
4976
representation. (Martin Pool).
4977
4978
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
4979
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
4980
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
4981
4982
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4983
(Robert Collins)
4984
4985
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
4986
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
4987
Magnus Therning.
4988
4989
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4990
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
4991
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
4992
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
4993
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4994
4995
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
4996
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
4997
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
4998
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
4999
python path. (Robert Collins)
5000
5001
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5002
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5003
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5004
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5005
5006
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5007
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5008
5009
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5010
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5011
(Robert Collins)
5012
5013
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5014
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5015
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5016
5017
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5018
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5019
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5020
5021
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5022
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5023
5024
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5025
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5026
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5027
(Robert Collins)
5028
5029
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5030
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5031
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5032
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5033
(Robert Collins)
5034
5035
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5036
(Robert Collins)
5037
5038
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5039
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5040
(Robert Collins)
5041
5042
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
5043
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
5044
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
5045
5046
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
5047
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
5048
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
5049
5050
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
5051
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
5052
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
5053
5054
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5055
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5056
5057
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
5058
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
5059
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
5060
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
5061
caller. (Robert Collins)
5062
5063
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
5064
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
5065
(Robert Collins).
5066
5067
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
5068
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
5069
(Aaron Bentley)
5070
5071
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
5072
5073
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
5074
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
5075
5076
BUG FIXES:
5077
5078
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
5079
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
5080
5081
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
5082
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

5085
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
5086
--------------------
5087
5088
BUG FIXES:
5089
5090
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
5091
allow directories to be listed.
5092
5093
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
5094
upgrading branch format.
5095
5096
PERFORMANCE:
5097
5098
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
5099
5100
5101
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
5102
------------------
5103
5104
NOTES:
5105
5106
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
5107
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
5108
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
5109
high-latency connections.
5110
5111
BUG FIXES:
5112
5113
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
5114
Rob Weir.
5115
5116
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
5117
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
5118
5119
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
5120
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
5121
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
5122
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5123
5124
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5125
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5126
5127
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5128
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5129
5130
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
5131
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
5132
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5133
5134
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
5135
for files with only a change to their executable status.
5136
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
5137
Robert Collins
5138
5139
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5140
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5141
5142
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5143
different partial views of history.
5144
5145
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5146
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5147
5148
IMPROVEMENTS:
5149
5150
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5151
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5152
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5153
5154
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5155
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5156
'bzr upgrade'.
5157
5158
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5159
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5160
5161
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5162
Niemeyer.
5163
5164
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5165
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5166
5167
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5168
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5169
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5170
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5171
5172
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5173
5174
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5175
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5176
Gustavo Niemeyer.
5177
5178
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5179
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5180
5181
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5182
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5183
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5184
5185
5186
INTERNALS:
5187
5188
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5189
for your viewing pleasure.
5190
5191
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5192
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5193
5194
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5195
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5196
handling of such circumstances.
5197
5198
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
5199
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
5200
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
5201
5202
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5203
5204
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5205
we call them revisions not patches.
5206
5207
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5208
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5209
5210
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
5211
giving the revision *of that file*.
5212
5213
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
5214
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
5215
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
5216
5217
TESTING:
5218
5219
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
5220
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
5221
5222
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
5223
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
5224
5225
5226
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
5227
--------------------
5228
5229
BUG FIXES:
5230
5231
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
5232
5233
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
5234
(Robert Collins).
5235
5236
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
5237
5238
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
5239
5240
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
5241
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5242
5243
IMPROVEMENTS:
5244
5245
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
5246
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
5247
5248
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
5249
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
5250
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
5251
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
5252
Robey Pointer
5253
5254
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
5255
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5256
5257
INTERNALS:
5258
5259
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
5260
5261
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
5262
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
5263
5264
5265
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
5266
--------------------
5267
5268
IMPROVEMENTS:
5269
5270
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
5271
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
5272
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
5273
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
5274
Michael Ellerman.
5275
5276
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
5277
(Nir Soffer)
5278
5279
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
5280
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
5281
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
5282
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
5283
for the operating system is still tried.
5284
5285
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
5286
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
5287
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
5288
5289
5290
INTERNALS:
5291
5292
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
5293
5294
BUG FIXES:
5295
5296
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
5297
5298
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
5299
branch.
5300
5301
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
5302
read.
5303
5304
5305
PORTABILITY:
5306
5307
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
5308
5309
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
5310
5311
5312
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
5313
--------------------
5314
5315
NEW FEATURES:
5316
5317
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
5318
help with intelligent shell completion.
5319
5320
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
5321
5322
5323
ENHANCEMENTS:
5324
5325
* Much better merge support.
5326
5327
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
5328
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
5329
like emacs smerge.
5330
5331
5332
BUG FIXES:
5333
5334
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
5335
mention revisions that are not present.
5336
5337
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
5338
5339
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
5340
5341
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
5342
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
5343
5344
5345
CHANGES:
5346
5347
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
5348
5349
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
5350
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
5351
--help themselves.
5352
5353
5354
LIBRARY:
5355
5356
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
5357
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
5358
libraries.
5359
5360
5361
5362
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
5363
--------------------
5364
5365
NEW FEATURES:
5366
5367
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
5368
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
5369
5370
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
5371
5372
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
5373
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
5374
5375
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
5376
FOO.
5377
5378
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
5379
5380
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
5381
the Unix command.
5382
5383
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
5384
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
5385
5386
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
5387
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
5388
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
5389
5390
5391
ENHANCEMENTS:
5392
5393
* Faster working tree operations.
5394
5395
5396
CHANGES:
5397
5398
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
5399
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
5400
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
5401
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
5402
5403
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
5404
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
5405
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
5406
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
5407
standard plugins directory.
5408
5409
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
5410
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
5411
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
5412
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
5413
5414
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
5415
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
5416
5417
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
5418
disk.
5419
5420
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
5421
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
5422
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
5423
5424
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
5425
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
5426
5427
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
5428
line options must come before the command name because they
5429
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
5430
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
5431
it.
5432
5433
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
5434
5435
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
5436
is available with ``--short``.
5437
5438
5439
BUG FIXES:
5440
5441
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
5442
5443
5444
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
5445
---------------------
5446
5447
CHANGES:
5448
5449
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
5450
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5451
5452
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
5453
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
5454
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
5455
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
5456
5457
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
5458
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
5459
with the ``--forward`` option.
5460
5461
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
5462
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
5463
field.
5464
5465
5466
ENHANCEMENTS:
5467
5468
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
5469
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
5470
5471
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
5472
5473
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
5474
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
5475
5476
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
5477
5478
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
5479
either read or write mode.
5480
5481
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
5482
5483
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
5484
affected that file.
5485
5486
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
5487
5488
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
5489
suggested by LarstiQ.
5490
5491
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
5492
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
5493
5494
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
5495
a filename.
5496
5497
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
5498
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
5499
5500
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
5501
haven't changed since the previous time.
5502
5503
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
5504
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
5505
5506
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
5507
5508
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
5509
5510
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
5511
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
5512
5513
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
5514
options through to an external GNU diff.
5515
5516
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
5517
their contents.
5518
5519
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
5520
from a branch.
5521
5522
5523
BUG FIXES:
5524
5525
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
5526
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
5527
5528
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
5529
metacharacters.
5530
5531
5532
TESTING:
5533
5534
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
5535
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
5536
the tests.
5537
5538
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
5539
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
5540
5541
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
5542
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
5543
5544
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
5545
under a different version.
5546
5547
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
5548
5549
5550
INTERNAL:
5551
5552
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
5553
5554
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
5555
Scott James Remnant.
5556
5557
* Better help messages for many commands.
5558
5559
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
5560
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
5561
5562
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
5563
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
5564
5565
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
5566
5567
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
5568
5569
* New AtomicFile class.
5570
5571
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
5572
5573
5574
PORTABILITY:
5575
5576

5581
---------------------
5582
5583
ENHANCEMENTS:
5584
5585
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
5586
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
5587
5588
* More default ignore patterns.
5589
5590
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
5591
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
5592
5593
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
5594
5595
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
5596
by Jason Diamon.
5597
5598
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
5599
5600
5601
CHANGES:
5602
5603
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
5604
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
5605
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
5606
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
5607
there are DNS problems.
5608
5609
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
5610
5611
5612
BUG FIXES:
5613
5614
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
5615
5616

5617
5618
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
5619
trailing newlines properly.
5620
5621
5622
INTERNAL:
5623
5624
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
5625
Matt Brubeck.
5626
5627
* More tests in test.sh.
5628
5629
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
5630
directory and delete it when done.
5631
5632
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
5633
5634
5635
PORTABILITY:
5636
5637

5638
Bennetts.

5641
from QuantumG.

5664
CHANGES:
5665
5666
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
5667
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
5668
will do for now.)
5669
5670
PORTABILITY:
5671
5672
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
5673
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
5674
Nielsen.
5675
5676

5708
branch.
5709
5710
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
5711
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
5712
5713
* Performance improvements.
5714
5715
* New global --profile option.
5716
5717
