NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
12
13
CHANGES:
14
15
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
16
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
17
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
18
variable. (Xavier Maillard)

20
FEATURES:
21
22
IMPROVEMENTS:
23
24
BUGFIXES:
25
26
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
27
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
28
29
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
30
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
31
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
32
33
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
34
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
35
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
36
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
37
every revision each side had in common.
38
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
39
40
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
41
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
42
43
DOCUMENTATION:
44
45
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
46
47
TESTING:
48
49
INTERNALS:
50
51
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
52
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
53
54
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
55
56
API BREAKS:

bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
60
---------------------
61
62
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
63
64
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
65
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
66
67
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
68
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
69
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
70
71
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
72
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
73
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
74
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
75
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
76
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
77
Andrew Cowie)
78
79
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
80
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
81
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
82
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
83
84
FEATURES:
85
86
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
87
88
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
89
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
90
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
91
92
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
93
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
94
See the User Reference for signature details.
95
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
96
97
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
98
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
99
100
IMPROVEMENTS:
101
102
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
103
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
104
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
105
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
106
107
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
108
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
109
110
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
111
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
112
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
113
Wouter van Heyst)
114
115
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
116
(Chad Miller)
117
118
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
119
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
120
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
121
122
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
123
(Aaron Bentley)
124
125
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
126
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
127
128
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
129
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
130
131
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
132
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
133
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
134
135
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
136
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
137
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
138
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
139
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
140
141
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
142
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
143
144
BUGFIXES:
145
146
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
147
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
148
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
149
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
150
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
151
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
152
153
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
154
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
155
156
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
157
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
158
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
159
160
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
161
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
162
163
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
164
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
165
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
166
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
167
168
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
169
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
170
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
171
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
172
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
173
174
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
175
176
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
177
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
178
179
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
180
181
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
182
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
183
184
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
185
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
186
187
DOCUMENTATION:
188
189
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
190
191
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
192
193
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
194
195
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
196
197
API BREAKS:
198
199
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
200
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
201
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
202
203
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
204
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
205
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
206
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
207
208
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
209
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
210
release. (James Westby)
211
212
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
213
(Andrew Bennetts)
214
215
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
216
217
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
218
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
219
220
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
221
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
222
223
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
224
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
225
226
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
227
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
228
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
229
230
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
231
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
232
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
233
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
234
235
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
236
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
237
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
238
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
239
240
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
241
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
242
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
243
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
244
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
245
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
246
247
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
248
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
249
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
250
251
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
252
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
253
254
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
255
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
256
(Robert Collins)
257
258
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
259
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
260
261
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
262
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
263
264
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
265
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
266
267
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
268
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
269
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
270
271
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
272
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
273
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
274
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
275
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
276
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
277
278
TESTING:
279
280
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
281
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
282
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
283
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
284
285
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
286
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
287
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
288
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
289
implement this).
290
(Vincent Ladeuil)
291
292
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
293
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
294
(Vincent Ladeuil)
295
296
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
297
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
298
299
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
300
301
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
302
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
303
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
304
305
INTERNALS:
306
307
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
308
309
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
310
(Martin Albisetti)
311
312
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
313
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
314
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
315
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
316
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
317
(Martin Pool, #109520)
318
319
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
320
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
321
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
322
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
323
324
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
325
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
326
327
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
328
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)
329
330
331
bzr 1.3 2008-03-20
332
------------------
333
334
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
335
336
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
337
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
338
features have been added.
339
340
TESTING:
341
342
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
343
directory names.
344
(#202778, Martin Pool)
345
346
347
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-03-16
348
---------------------
349
350
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
351
352
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
353
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
354
355
CHANGES:
356
357
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
358
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
359
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
360
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
361
(Robert Collins)
362
363
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
364
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
365
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
366
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
367
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
368
(Alexander Belchenko)
369
370
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
371
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
372
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
373
(Alexander Belchenko)
374
375
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
376
377
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
378
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
379
380
FEATURES:
381
382
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
383
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
384
385
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
386
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
387
(Jelmer Vernooij)
388
389
IMPROVEMENTS:
390
391
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
392
393
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
394
395
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
396
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
397
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
398
399
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
400
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
401
402
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
403
to. (Daniel Watkins)
404
405
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
406
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
407
(Alexander Belchenko)
408
409
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
410
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
411
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
412
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
413
414
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
415
(Daniel Watkins)
416
417
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
418
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
419
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
420
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
421
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
422
423
BUGFIXES:
424
425
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
426
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
427
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
428
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
429
430
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
431
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
432
433
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
434
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
435
436
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
437
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
438
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
439
440
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
441
(#198793, John Ferlito)
442
443
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
444
#196618)
445
446
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
447
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
448
449
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
450
451
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
452
453
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
454
symlinks (James Henstridge)
455
456
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
457
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
458
459
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
460
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
461
462
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
463
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
464
465
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
466
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
467
468
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
469
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
470
471
DOCUMENTATION:
472
473
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
474
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
475
476
API BREAKS:
477
478
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
479
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
480
(Alexander Belchenko)
481
482
TESTING:
483
484
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
485
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
486
(Robert Collins)
487
488
INTERNALS:
489
490
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
491
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
492
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
493
494
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
495
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
496
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
497
(Alexander Belchenko)
498
499
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
500
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
501
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
502
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
503
504
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
505
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
506
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
507
(Robert Collins)
508
509
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
510
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
511
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
512
513
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
514
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
515
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
516
517
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
518
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
519
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
520
format. (Robert Collins)

532
---------------------
533
534
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
535
536
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
537
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
538
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
539
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
540
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
541
(Andrew Bennetts)
542
543
CHANGES:
544
545
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
546
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
547
548
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
549
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
550
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
551
552
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
553
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
554
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
555
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
556
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
557
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
558
(Aaron Bentley)
559
560
FEATURES:
561
562
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
563
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
564
565
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
566
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
567
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
568
(Robert Collins)
569
570
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
571
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
572
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
573
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
574
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
575
576
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
577
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
578
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
579
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
580
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
581
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
582
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
583
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
584
585
IMPROVEMENTS:
586
587
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
588
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
589
590
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
591
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
592
593
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
594
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
595
596
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
597
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
598
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
599
600
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
601
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
602
(John Arbash Meinel)
603
604
BUGFIXES:
605
606
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
607
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
608
609
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
610
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
611
612
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
613
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
614
615
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
616
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
617
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
618
619
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
620
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
621
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
622
623
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
624
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
625
626
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
627
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
628
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
629
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
630
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
631
unittest runner.
632
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
633
634
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
635
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
636
#185907)
637
638
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
639
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
640
641
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
642
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
643
644
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
645
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
646
647
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
648
more characters which should be considered valid.
649
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
650
651
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
652
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
653
654
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
655
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
656
657
API BREAKS:
658
659
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
660
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
661
662
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
663
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
664
(Martin Pool)
665
666
TESTING:
667
668
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
669
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
670
(Vincent Ladeuil)
671
672
INTERNALS:
673
674
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
675
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
676
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
677
678
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
679
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
680
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
681
682
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
683
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
684
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
685
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
686
687
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
688
689
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
690
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
691
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
692
server. (Robert Collins)
693
694
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
695
operate. (Robert Collins)
696
697
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
698
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
699
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
700
701
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
702
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
703
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
704
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
705
706
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
707
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
708
709
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
710
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
711
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
712
713
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
714
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
715
716
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
717
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
718
719
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
720
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
721
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
722
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

729
730
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
731
---------------------
732
733
CHANGES:
734
735
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
736
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
737
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
738
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
739
740
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
741
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
742
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
743
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
744
745
FEATURES:
746
747
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
748
(Lukáš Lalinský)
749
750
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
751
(Aaron Bentley)
752
753
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
754
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
755
756
IMPROVEMENTS:
757
758
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
759
#90049)
760
761
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
762
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
763
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
764
765
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
766
767
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
768
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
769
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
770
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
771
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
772
773
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
774
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
775
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
776
777
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
778
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
779
780
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
781
(Vincent Ladeuil)
782
783
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
784
785
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
786
787
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
788
(Aaron Bentley)
789
790
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
791
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
792
793
BUGFIXES:
794
795
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
796
(Martin Pool, #180208)
797
798
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
799
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
800
801
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
802
(Aaron Bentley)
803
804
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
805
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
806
807
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
808
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
809
810
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
811
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
812
813
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
814
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
815
816
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
817
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
818
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
819
820
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
821
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
822
823
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
824
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
825
(Aaron Bentley)
826
827
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
828
829
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
830
user:pass embedded in the urls.
831
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
832
833
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
834
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
835
836
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
837
(Aaron Bentley)
838
839
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
840
#148087)
841
842
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
843
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
844
845
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
846
#137681)
847
848
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
849
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
850
(Aaron Bentley)
851
852
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
853
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
854
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
855
856
DOCUMENTATION:
857
858
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
859
(Ian Clatworthy)
860
861
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
862
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
863
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
864
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
865
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
866
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
867
868
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
869
870
INTERNALS:
871
872
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
873
(Aaron Bentley)
874
875
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
876
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
877
878
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
879
880
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
881
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
882
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
883
Robert Collins)
884
885
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
886
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
887
888
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
889
(Vincent Ladeuil)
890
891
API BREAKS:
892
893
TESTING:
894
895
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
896
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
897
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
898
899
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
900
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
901
(Robert Collins)
902
903
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
904
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
905
906
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
907
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
908
909
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
910
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
911
912
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
913
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
914
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
915
916
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
917
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
918
919
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
920
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
921
922
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
923
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
924
(Vincent Ladeuil)
925
926
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
927
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
928
929
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
930
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

954
955
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
956
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
957
by mail to the mailing list.

BUGFIXES:
961
962
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
963
964
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
965
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
966
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
967
feedback but also incur more latency.
968
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
969
970
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
971
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
972
973
DOCUMENTATION:
974
975
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
976
977
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
978
(Ian Clatworthy)
979
980
INTERNALS:
981
982
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
983
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
984
wraps its output in a StringIO.

991
IMPROVEMENTS:
992
993
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
994
995
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
996
(Aaron Bentley)
997
998
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
999
Nordhoff, #172612)
1000
1001
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1002
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1003
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
1004
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1005
1006
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
1007
(Kent Gibson)
1008
1009
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1010
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1011
1012
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1013
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1014
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1015
1016
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1017
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1018
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1019
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1020
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1021
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1022
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1023
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1024
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
1025
1026
INTERNALS:
1027
1028
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
1029
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1030
1031
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
1032
1033
BUGFIXES:
1034
1035
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
1036
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
1037
1038
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
1039
filename to user.
1040
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1041
1042
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1043
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1044
required.
1045
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
1046
1047
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1048
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
1049
1050
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
1051
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
1052
1053
API BREAKS:
1054
1055
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
1056
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)

bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
1060
---------------------
1061
1062
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1063
1064
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1065
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1066
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1067
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1068
1069
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1070
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1071
1072
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1073
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1074
1075
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1076
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1077
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1078
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1079
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1080
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1081
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1082
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1083
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1084
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1085
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1086
from any tree without problems.
1087
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
1088
1089
CHANGES:
1090
1091
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1092
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1093
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1094
1095
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
1096
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
1097
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
1098
(Martin Pool)
1099
1100
FEATURES:
1101
1102
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
1103
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
1104
supported transports.
1105
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1106
1107
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
1108
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
1109
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
1110
1111
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1112
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1113
1114
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
1115
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
1116
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
1117
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
1118
1119
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
1120
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
1121
1122
PERFORMANCE:
1123
1124
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
1125
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
1126
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
1127
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1128
1129
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
1130
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
1131
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
1132
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
1133
1134
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
1135
(Robert Collins, #88319)
1136
1137
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
1138
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
1139
1140
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1141
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1142
1143
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1144
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1145
(Aaron Bentley)
1146
1147
IMPROVEMENTS:
1148
1149
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1150
(Aaron Bentley)
1151
1152
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1153
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1154
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1155
1156
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1157
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1158
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1159
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1160
1161
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1162
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1163
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1164
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
1165
1166
DOCUMENTATION:
1167
1168
BUG FIXES:
1169
1170
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
1171
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
1172
1173
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
1174
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
1175
1176
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
1177
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
1178
1179
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
1180
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
1181
1182
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
1183
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
1184
1185
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
1186
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
1187
1188
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
1189
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
1190
1191
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
1192
(Aaron Bentley)
1193
1194
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
1195
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
1196
1197
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
1198
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
1199
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
1200
1201
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
1202
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
1203
1204
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
1205
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
1206
1207
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
1208
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
1209
1210
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
1211
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
1212
1213
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
1214
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
1215
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
1216
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
1217
on them.
1218
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1219
1220
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
1221
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1222
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
1223
1224
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
1225
(Robert Collins, #161240)
1226
1227
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
1228
to be reconciled.
1229
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1230
1231
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1232
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1233
1234
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1235
specify a port in urls.
1236
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1237
1238
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
1239
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
1240
1241
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
1242
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
1243
1244
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
1245
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
1246
1247
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
1248
(Robert Collins, #153789)
1249
1250
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
1251
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
1252
(Robert Collins, #165304).
1253
1254
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
1255
1256
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
1257
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
1258
1259
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
1260
Watkins, #152811)
1261
1262
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
1263
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
1264
1265
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
1266
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
1267
1268
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
1269
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
1270
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
1271
1272
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
1273
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
1274
1275
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
1276
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
1277
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
1278
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
1279
1280
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
1281
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
1282
1283
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
1284
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
1285
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
1286
1287
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
1288
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
1289
1290
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
1291
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
1292
1293
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
1294
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
1295
1296
API BREAKS:
1297
1298
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
1299
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
1300
1301
* The return value of
1302
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
1303
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
1304
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
1305
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
1306
1307
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
1308
(Robert Collins)
1309
1310
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
1311
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
1312
format.
1313
(Martin Pool)
1314
1315
INTERNALS:
1316
1317
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
1318
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
1319
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
1320
Bennetts)
1321
1322
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
1323
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
1324
1325
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

1341
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1342
1343
CHANGES:
1344
1345
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
1346
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
1347
1348
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
1349
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
1350
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
1351
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
1352
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
1353
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
1354
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
1355
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
1356
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
1357
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
1358
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
1359
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
1360
(Robert Collins)
1361
1362
FEATURES:
1363
1364
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
1365
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
1366
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
1367
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
1368
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
1369
for further details. (Robert Collins)
1370
1371
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
1372
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
1373
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
1374
(Robert Collins)
1375
1376
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
1377
1378
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
1379
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
1380
1381
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
1382
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
1383
(Aaron Bentley)
1384
1385
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
1386
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
1387
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
1388
1389
PERFORMANCE:
1390
1391
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
1392
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1393
1394
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
1395
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
1396
1397
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
1398
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
1399
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
1400
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
1401
1402
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
1403
(Robert Collins)
1404
1405
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
1406
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
1407
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
1408
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
1409
1410
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
1411
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
1412
1413
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
1414
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1415
1416
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
1417
the contents. (Robert Collins)
1418
1419
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
1420
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
1421
1422
IMPROVEMENTS:
1423
1424
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
1425
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
1426
1427
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
1428
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
1429
1430
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
1431
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
1432
1433
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
1434
(Martin Pool, #63894)
1435
1436
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
1437
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
1438
1439
DOCUMENTATION:
1440
1441
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
1442
1443
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
1444
(Ian Clatworthy)
1445
1446
BUG FIXES:
1447
1448
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
1449
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
1450
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
1451
1452
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
1453
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
1454
1455
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
1456
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
1457
1458
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
1459
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
1460
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
1461
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
1462
1463
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
1464
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
1465
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
1466
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
1467
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
1468
1469
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
1470
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
1471
paramiko.
1472
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
1473
1474
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1475
1476
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
1477
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
1478
1479
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
1480
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
1481
1482
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
1483
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
1484
1485
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
1486
contains a symbolic link.
1487
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
1488
1489
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
1490
(James Westby, #140615)
1491
1492
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
1493
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
1494
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
1495
1496
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
1497
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
1498
(Martin Pool, #144633)
1499
1500
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1501
1502
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
1503
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
1504
1505
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
1506
will remain opened.
1507
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
1508
1509
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
1510
directory to detect leaking tests.
1511
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
1512
1513
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
1514
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
1515
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
1516
1517
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
1518
(Rob Weir, #141629)
1519
1520
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
1521
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
1522
1523
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
1524
Merwe)
1525
1526
API BREAKS:
1527
1528
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
1529
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
1530
1531
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
1532
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
1533
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
1534
1535
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
1536
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
1537
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
1538
1539
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
1540
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
1541
1542
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
1543
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
1544
1545
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
1546
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
1547
(Martin Pool)
1548
1549
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
1550
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
1551
1552
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
1553
class that needs it.
1554
(Martin Pool)
1555
1556
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
1557
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
1558
1559
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
1560
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
1561
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
1562
1563
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
1564
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
1565
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
1566
(Robert Collins)
1567
1568
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
1569
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
1570
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
1571
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
1572
(Robert Collins)
1573
1574
INTERNALS:
1575
1576
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1577
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1578
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1579
1580
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1581
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1582
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1583
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1584
1585
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1586
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1587
(Robert Collins)
1588
1589
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1590
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1591
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1592
1593
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1594
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1595
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1596
1597
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1598
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1599
1600
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1601
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1602
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1603
1604
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1605
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1606
1607
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1608
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1609
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1610
1611
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1612
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1613
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1614
1615
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1616
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1617
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1618
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1619
1620
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1621
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1622
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1623
returned. (Robert Collins)
1624
1625
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1626
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1627
1628
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1629
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1630
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1631
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1632
(Robert Collins)
1633
1634
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1635
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1636
1637
TESTING:
1638
1639
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1640
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1641
1642
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1643
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1644
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1645
makes this behavior available to other users.
1646
(Martin Pool)
1647
1648
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1649
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
1650
1651
1652
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
1653
-------------------
1654
1655
BUG FIXES:
1656
1657
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1658
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1659
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1660
1661
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1662
1663
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1664
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1665
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1666
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1667
1668
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1669
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
1670
(Andrew Bennetts)
1671
1672
1673
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1674
----------------------
1675
1676
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
1677
in bzrlib/remote.py.
1678
1679
1680
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
1681
----------------------
1682
1683
CHANGES:
1684
1685
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1686
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1687
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1688
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1689
(Martin Pool)
1690
1691
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1692
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1693
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1694
(Ian Clatworthy)
1695
1696
FEATURES:
1697
1698
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1699
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1700
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1701
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1702
1703
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1704
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1705
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1706
1707
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1708
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1709
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1710
1711
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1712
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1713
1714
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1715
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1716
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1717
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1718
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1719
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1720
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1721
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1722
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1723
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1724
1725
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1726
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1727
1728
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1729
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1730
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1731
1732
BUG FIXES:
1733
1734
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1735
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1736
1737
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1738
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1739
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1740
1741
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1742
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1743
1744
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1745
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1746
1747
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1748
(Aaron Bentley)
1749
1750
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1751
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1752
1753
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1754
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1755
1756
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1757
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1758
1759
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1760
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1761
1762
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1763
1764
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1765
Watkins, #106726)
1766
1767
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1768
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1769
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1770
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1771
1772
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1773
1774
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1775
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1776
#133548)
1777
1778
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1779
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1780
1781
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1782
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1783
#116143)
1784
1785
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1786
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1787
1788
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1789
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1790
1791
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1792
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1793
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1794
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1795
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1796
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1797
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1798
1799
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1800
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1801
1802
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1803
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1804
1805
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1806
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1807
1808
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1809
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1810
1811
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1812
connections.
1813
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1814
1815
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1816
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1817
1818
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1819
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1820
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1821
1822
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1823
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1824
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1825
1826
IMPROVEMENTS:
1827
1828
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1829
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1830
1831
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1832
(Aaron Bentley)
1833
1834
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1835
(Aaron Bentley)
1836
1837
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1838
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1839
1840
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1841
1842
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1843
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1844
1845
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1846
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1847
1848
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1849
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1850
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1851
space). (Robert Collins)
1852
1853
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1854
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1855
(Ian Clatworthy)
1856
1857
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1858
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1859
1860
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1861
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1862
1863
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1864
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1865
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1866
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1867
1868
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1869
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1870
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1871
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1872
1873
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1874
(Ian Clatworthy)
1875
1876
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1877
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1878
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1879
1880
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1881
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1882
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1883
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1884
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1885
1886
API BREAKS:
1887
1888
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1889
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1890
1891
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1892
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1893
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1894
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1895
affected. (Robert Collins)
1896
1897
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1898
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1899
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1900
(Robert Collins)
1901
1902
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1903
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1904
1905
TESTING:
1906
1907
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1908
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1909
1910
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1911
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1912
1913
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1914
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1915
1916
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1917
(Aaron Bentley)
1918
1919
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1920
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1921
1922
INTERNALS:
1923
1924
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1925
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1926
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1927
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1928
1929
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1930
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1931
1932
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1933
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1934
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1935
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1936
1937
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1938
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1939
present. (Robert Collins)
1940
1941
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1942
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1943
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1944
API. (Robert Collins)
1945
1946
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1947
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1948
(Robert Collins)
1949
1950
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1951
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1952
1953
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1954
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1955
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1956
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1957
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1958
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1959
1960
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1961
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1962
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1963
1964
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1965
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1966
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1967
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1968
protocol.
1969
1970
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1971
(Aaron Bentley)
1972
1973
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1974
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1975
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1976
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1977
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1978
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1979
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1980
1981
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1982
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1983
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1984
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1985
1986
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1987
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1988
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1989
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1990
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1991
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1992
1993
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1994
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1995
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1996
1997
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1998
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

-------------------
2003
2004
IMPROVEMENTS:
2005
2006
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2007
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2008
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2009
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2010
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2011
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2012
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

2016
API CHANGES:
2017
2018
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2019
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2020
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
2021

2024
----------------------
2025
2026
BUGFIXES:
2027
2028
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2029
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2030
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2031
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2032
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2033
2034
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2035
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2036
2037
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2038
anymore.
2039
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2040
2041
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2042
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2043
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2044
2045
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2046
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2047
#111664)
2048
2049
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2050
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2051
2052
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2053
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2054
2055
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2056
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2057
2058
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2059
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2060
2061
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2062
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2063
2064
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2065
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2066
2067
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2068
(Aaron Bentley)
2069
2070
IMPROVEMENTS:
2071
2072
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2073
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2074
2075
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2076
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2077
2078
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2079
the repository (Robert Collins)
2080
2081
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2082
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2083
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2084
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2085
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2086
2087
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2088
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2089
2090
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2091
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2092
(John Arbash Meinel)
2093
2094
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2095
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2096
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2097
about 10%).
2098
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2099
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2100
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2101
(John Arbash Meinel)
2102
2103
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2104
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2105
(Robert Collins)
2106
2107
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2108
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2109
2110
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2111
(Ian Clatworthy)
2112
2113
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2114
2115
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2116
2117
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2118
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2119
2120
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2121
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2122
Meinel)
2123
2124
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2125
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2126
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2127
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2128
2129
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2130
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
2131
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
2132
2133
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
2134
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
2135
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
2136
2137
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2138
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2139
2140
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2141
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2142
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2143
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2144
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2145
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2146
(Ian Clatworthy)
2147
2148
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2149
(Alexander Belchenko)
2150
2151
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2152
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2153
2154
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2155
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2156
2157
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2158
2159
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2160
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2161
2162
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2163
2164
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2165
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2166
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2167
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2168
2169
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2170
2171
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2172
(Robert Collins)
2173
2174
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2175
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2176
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2177
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2178
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2179
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2180
2181
INTERNALS:
2182
2183
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2184
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2185
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2186
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2187
2188
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2189
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2190
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2191
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2192
tests have been refactored too.
2193
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2194
2195
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2196
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2197
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2198
list, it will.
2199
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2200
2201
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2202
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2203
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2204
2205
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2206
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2207
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2208
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2209
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2210
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2211
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2212
2213
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2214
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2215
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2216
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2217
(John Arbash Meinel)
2218
2219
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2220
functionality for testing.
2221
2222
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2223
2224
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2225
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2226
2227
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2228
2229
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2230
(Robert Collins)
2231
2232
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2233
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2234
2235
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2236
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2237
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2238
2239
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2240
(Aaron Bentley)
2241
2242
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2243
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2244
2245
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2246
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2247
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2248
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2249
2250
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2251
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2252
2253
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2254
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2255
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2256
2257
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2258
(Marius Kruger)
2259
2260
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2261
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2262
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2263
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2264
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
2265
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2266
2267
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
2268
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
2269
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
2270
many files. (Robert Collins)
2271
2272
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
2273
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
2274
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
2275
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
2276
2277
TESTING:
2278
2279
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
2280
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
2281
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
2282
2283
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
2284
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
2285
2286
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
2287
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
2288
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

2304
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
2305
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
2306
2307

a file that is not present in the specified revision.
2309
(James Westby, #122656)
2310

2316
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)

* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
2337
(Martin Pool, #109169)
2338
2339
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
2340
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
2341
2342
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
2343
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
2344
2345
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2346
2347
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
2348
2349
IMPROVEMENTS:
2350
2351
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
2352
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
2353
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
2354
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
2355
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
2356
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
2357
2358
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
2359
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
2360
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
2361
2362
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
2363
(Elliot Murphy)
2364
2365
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
2366
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
2367
2368
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
2369
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
2370
2371
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
2372
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
2373
2374
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
2375
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
2376
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
2377
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
2378
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
2379
2380
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
2381
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
2382
2383
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
2384
can be slow it is useful feedback).
2385
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
2386
2387
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
2388
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
2389
2390
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
2391
2392
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
2393
output. (Aaron Bentley)
2394
2395
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
2396
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
2397
(Robert Collins)
2398
2399
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
2400
(Martin Pool)
2401
2402
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
2403
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
2404
2405
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
2406
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
2407
2408
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
2409
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
2410
2411
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
2412
2413
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
2414
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
2415
2416
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
2417
(Andrew Bennetts)
2418
2419
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2420
2421
* Testing cleanups -
2422
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2423
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
2424
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2425
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
2426
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2427
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
2428
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2429
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
2430
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2431
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
2432
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
2433
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
2434
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2435
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
2436
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2437
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
2438
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
2439
(Robert Collins)
2440
2441
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
2442
2443
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
2444
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
2445
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
2446
2447
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
2448
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
2449
2450
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
2451
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2452
2453
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
2454
2455
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
2456
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
2457
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
2458
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
2459
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
2460
same location. (Robert Collins)
2461
2462
INTERNALS:
2463
2464
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
2465
2466
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
2467
2468
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
2469
2470
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
2471
(Martin Pool)
2472
2473
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
2474
(Martin Pool)
2475
2476
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
2477
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
2478
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
2479
2480
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
2481
2482
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
2483
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
2484
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
2485
2486
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
2487
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
2488
2489
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
2490
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
2491
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
2492
2493
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
2494
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
2495
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
2496
2497
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
2498
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
2499
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
2500
2501
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
2502
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
2503
Martin Pool)
2504
2505
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
2506
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
2507
2508
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
2509
(Alexander Belchenko)
2510
2511
TESTING:
2512
2513
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
2514
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
2515
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
2516
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2517
2518
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
2519
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
2520
testing. (Robert Collins)
2521
2522
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
2523
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
2524
2525
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
2526
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
2527
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
2528
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
2529
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
2530
attribute during the test parameterisation in
2531
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
2532
2533
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
2534
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
2535
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
2536
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
2537
2538
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
2539
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
2540
2541
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
2542
avoid useless cloning.

2561
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2562
2563
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
2564
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
2565
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
2566
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
2567
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
2568
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
2569
and unlock() like so::
2570
2571
work_tree.lock_read()
2572
try:
2573
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
2574
finally:
2575
work_tree.unlock()
2576
2577
INTERNALS:
2578
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
2579
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
2580
object.
2581
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
2582
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
2583
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
2584
2585
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2586
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2587
too. (Robert Collins)
2588
2589
IMPROVEMENTS:
2590
2591
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
2592
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
2593
Aaron Bentley)
2594
2595
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
2596
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
2597
2598
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
2599
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
2600
2601
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
2602
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
2603
understanding what changes have occurred
2604
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
2605
2606
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
2607
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
2608
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2609
2610
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
2611
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
2612
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
2613
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2614
2615
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2616
#56322)
2617
2618
BUGFIXES:
2619
2620
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
2621
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
2622
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
2623
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
2624
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
2625
2626
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2627
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2628
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2629
2630
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
2631
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
2632
2633
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
2634
into account.
2635
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2636
2637
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2638
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2639
2640
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2641
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2642
2643
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2644
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2645
2646
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2647
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2648
2649
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2650
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2651
2652
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2653
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2654
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

2656
bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
2657
--------------------
2658
2659
BUGFIXES:
2660
2661
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2662
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2663
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2664
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2665
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2666
2667
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2668
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2669
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2670
2671
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2672
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2673
2674
IMPROVEMENTS:
2675
2676
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2677
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2678
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2679
2680
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2681
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2682
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2683
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

2686
-----------------------
2687
2688
BUGFIXES:
2689
2690
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2691
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2692
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2693
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2694
2695
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2696
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2697
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
2698
2699
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2700
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
2701
2702
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
2703
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
2704
2705
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
2706
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

2709
-----------------------
2710
2711
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2712
2713
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
2714
it could be recovered again.
2715
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
2716
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
2717
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
2718
but not delete it.
2719
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
2720
files.
2721
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
2722
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
2723
2724
IMPROVEMENTS:
2725
2726
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
2727
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
2728
2729
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
2730
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
2731
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
2732
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
2733
2734
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
2735
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
2736
2737
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
2738
tests with names that match that regular expression.
2739
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
2740
2741
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
2742
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
2743
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
2744
2745
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
2746
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
2747
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
2748
2749
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
2750
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
2751
Robert Collins)
2752
2753
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
2754
Pool)
2755
2756
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
2757
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
2758
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
2759
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
2760
2761
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
2762
(Robert Collins)
2763
2764
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
2765
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
2766
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
2767
(Robert Collins)
2768
2769
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
2770
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
2771
2772
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
2773
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
2774
2775
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
2776
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
2777
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
2778
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
2779
(Robert Collins)
2780
2781
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
2782
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
2783
2784
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
2785
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2786
2787
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
2788
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
2789
(Robert Collins, #107125).
2790
2791
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
2792
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
2793
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
2794
2795
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
2796
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
2797
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2798
2799
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
2800
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
2801
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
2802
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
2803
2804
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
2805
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
2806
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
2807
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
2808
2809
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
2810
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
2811
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
2812
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
2813
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
2814
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
2815
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
2816
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
2817
header(s).
2818
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2819
2820
INTERNALS:
2821
2822
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
2823
code paths. (Robert Collins)
2824
2825
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
2826
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
2827
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
2828
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
2829
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2830
2831
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
2832
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
2833
2834
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
2835
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
2836
2837
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
2838
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
2839
2840
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
2841
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
2842
2843
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
2844
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
2845
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
2846
(Robert Collins).
2847
2848
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
2849
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
2850
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
2851
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
2852
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
2853
(Robert Collins)
2854
2855
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
2856
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
2857
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
2858
2859
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
2860
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
2861
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2862
2863
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
2864
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
2865
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
2866
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2867
2868
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
2869
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
2870
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
2871
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
2872
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
2873
2874
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
2875
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
2876
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
2877
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2878
2879
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
2880
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2881
2882
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
2883
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
2884
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
2885
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
2886
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
2887
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
2888
2889
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
2890
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
2891
2892
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
2893
help. (Robert Collins)
2894
2895
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
2896
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2897
2898
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
2899
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
2900
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
2901
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
2902
(John Arbash Meinel)
2903
2904
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
2905
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
2906
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
2907
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
2908
useful. (Robert Collins)
2909
2910
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
2911
(Andrew Bennetts)

2913
BUGFIXES:
2914
2915
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
2916
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
2917
2918
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
2919
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
2920
2921
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
2922
properly and is no longer beneficial.
2923
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
2924
2925
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2926
(Aaron Bentley)
2927
2928
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2929
the file, and does it faster.
2930
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2931
2932
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2933
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2934
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2935
2936
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2937
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2938
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2939
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2940
2941
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2942
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2943
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2944
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2945
2946
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2947
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2948
2949
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2950
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2951
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2952
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2953
Arbash Meinel)
2954
2955
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2956
2957
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2958
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2959
2960
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2961
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2962
2963
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2964
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2965
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2966
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2967
security hole.
2968
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2969
2970
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2971
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2972
2973
TESTING:
2974
2975
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2976
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2977
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2978
2979
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2980
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2981
2982
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2983
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2984
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2985
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2986
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2987
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2988
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2989
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2990
2991
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2992
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2993
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2994
2995
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2996
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2997
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2998
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2999
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3000
access.
3001
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3002
3003
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3004
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3005
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3006
3007
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3008
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
3027
3028
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
3029
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
3030
(Martin Pool)
3031
3032
IMPROVEMENTS:
3033
3034
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3035
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3036
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3037
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3038
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3039
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3040
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3041
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3042
path. (vila)
3043
3044
INTERNALS:
3045
3046
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3047
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3048
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3049
3050
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3051
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3052
(Martin Pool)
3053
3054
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3055
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3056
(John Arbash Meinel)
3057
3058
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3059
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3060
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3061
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3062
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3063
3064
BUGFIXES:
3065
3066
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3067
(vila, #92195)
3068
3069
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3070
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3071
3072
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3073
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3074
3075
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3076
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3077
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3078
3079
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3080
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3081
3082
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3083
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3084
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3085
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3086
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3087
3088
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3089
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3090
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3091
3092
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

3096
-----------------------
3097
3098
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3099
3100
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3101
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3102
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3103
3104
IMPROVEMENTS:
3105
3106
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3107
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3108
3109
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3110
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3111
3112
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3113
3114
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3115
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3116
3117
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3118
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3119
3120
INTERNALS:
3121
3122
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3123
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
3124
3125
BUGFIXES:
3126
3127
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3128
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3129
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3130
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3131
3132
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3133
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3134
3135
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3136
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3137
3138
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3139
(Marien Zwart)
3140
3141
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
3146
-----------------------
3147
3148
SURPRISES:
3149
3150
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
3151
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
3152
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
3153
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
3154
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
3155
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
3156
3157
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
3158
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
3159
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
3160
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
3161
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
3162
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
3163
development.
3164
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3165
3166
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
3167
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
3168
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
3169
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
3170
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
3171
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
3172
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
3173
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3174
3175
IMPROVEMENTS:
3176
3177
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3178
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3179
3180
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
3181
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
3182
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
3183
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
3184
does exist.
3185
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
3186
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
3187
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
3188
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
3189
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
3190
3191
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
3192
(Aaron Bentley)
3193
3194
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3195
(Aaron Bentley)
3196
3197
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3198
(Robert Collins)
3199
3200
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3201
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3202
(Aaron Bentley)
3203
3204
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3205
(Aaron Bentley)
3206
3207
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3208
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3209
3210
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3211
directory. (Martin Pool)
3212
3213
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3214
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3215
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3216
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3217
3218
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3219
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3220
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3221
in docs/configuration.txt.
3222
3223
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3224
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
3225
bind location.
3226
3227
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
3228
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
3229
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
3230
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
3231
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
3232
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3233
3234
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3235
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3236
3237
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3238
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3239
3240
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
3241
(Aaron Bentley)
3242
3243
INTERNALS:
3244
3245
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
3246
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
3247
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
3248
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
3249
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
3250
(John Arbash Meinel)
3251
3252
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
3253
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
3254
(Aaron Bentley)
3255
3256
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
3257
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
3258
(John Arbash Meinel)
3259
3260
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
3261
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
3262
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
3263
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
3264
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
3265
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
3266
3267
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
3268
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
3269
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
3270
3271
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
3272
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
3273
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
3274
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
3275
repository.
3276
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3277
3278
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
3279
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
3280
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
3281
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
3282
3283
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
3284
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
3285
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
3286
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
3287
3288
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
3289
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
3290
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
3291
3292
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
3293
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
3294
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
3295
3296
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
3297
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
3298
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
3299
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
3300
3301
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
3302
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
3303
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
3304
3305
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
3306
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
3307
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
3308
3309
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
3310
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
3311
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
3312
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
3313
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
3314
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
3315
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
3316
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
3317
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
3320
3321
BUGFIXES:
3322
3323
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
3324
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
3325
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
3326
3327
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
3328
(Aaron Bentley)
3329
3330
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
3331
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
3332
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
3333
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
3334
3335
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
3336
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
3337
#83954).
3338
3339
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
3340
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
3341
3342
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
3343
3344
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
3345
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
3346
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
3347
3348
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
3349
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
3350
3351
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
3352
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
3353
3354
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
3355
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)

3357
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
3358
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
3359
3360
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)

* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
3363
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
3364
3365
TESTING:
3366
3367

IMPROVEMENTS:

3376
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
3377
3378
BUG FIXES:
3379
3380
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
3381
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
3382
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
3383
3384
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
3385
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
3386
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

3389
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
3390
-----------------------
3391
3392
IMPROVEMENTS:
3393
3394
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
3395
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
3396
server, then you can write over the http connection.
3397
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3398
3399
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
3400
(Marius Kruger)
3401
3402
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
3403
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
3404
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3405
3406
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
3407
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
3408
3409
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
3410
(Aaron Bentley)
3411
3412
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
3413
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
3414
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
3415
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
3416
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
3417
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
3418
3419
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
3420
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
3421
should enable you to do::
3422
3423
[/home/user/project]
3424
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
3425
push_location:policy = appendpath
3426
3427
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
3428
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
3429
(James Henstridge)
3430
3431
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
3432
for each file. For example::
3433
3434
$ bzr status --short
3435
A foo
3436
A bar
3437
D baz
3438
? wooley
3439
3440
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
3441
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
3442
3443
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
3444
3445
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
3446
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
3447
3448
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
3449
3450
INTERNALS:
3451
3452
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
3453
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
3454
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
3455
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
3456
3457
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
3458
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
3459
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
3460
3461
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3462
3463
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
3464
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
3465
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
3466
(Alexander Belchenko)
3467
3468
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
3469
Pool)
3470
3471
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
3472
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
3473
3474
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
3475
3476
BUG FIXES:
3477
3478
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
3479
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
3480
3481
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
3482
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
3483
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
3484
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
3485
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
3486
3487
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
3488
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
3489
3490
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
3491
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
3492
3493
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
3494
matcher.
3495
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
3496
3497
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
3498
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
3499
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
3500
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
3501
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
3502
3503
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
3504
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
3505
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
3506
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
3507
3508
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
3509
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
3510
3511
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
3512
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
3513
3514
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
3515
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
3530
3531
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
3532
tree from a branch.
3533
(Daniel Silverstone)
3534
3535
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
3536
operations are substantially faster.
3537
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
3538
3539
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
3540
tree from some other url. For example:
3541
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
3542
(Daniel Silverstone)
3543
3544
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
3545
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
3546
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
3547
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
3548
3549
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
3550
(Andrew Bennetts)
3551
3552
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
3553
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
3554
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
3555
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
3556
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
3557
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
3558
3559
INTERNALS:
3560
3561
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
3562
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
3563
(Martin Pool)
3564
3565
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3566
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3567
(John Arbash Meinel)
3568
3569
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
3570
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
3571
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
3572
(John Arbash Meinel)
3573
3574
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
3575
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3576
3577
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3578
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3579
3580
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3581
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3582
Bennetts)
3583
3584
BUG FIXES:
3585
3586
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
3587
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
3588
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
3589
3590
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
3591
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
3592
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
3593
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
3594
3595
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3596
3597
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3598
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3599
3600
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3601
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3602
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
3603
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3604
3605
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3606
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3607
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3608
3609
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3610
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3611
them as full references rather than integers.
3612
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3613
3614
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3615
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3616
3617
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3618
3619
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3620
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3621
3622
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3623
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3624
3625
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3626
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3627
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3628
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3629
3630
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3631
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3632
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3633
3634
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3635
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3636
3637
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3638
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3639
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3640
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3641
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3642
3643
TESTING:
3644
3645
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3646
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

3658
-----------------------
3659
3660
IMPROVEMENTS:
3661
3662
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3663
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3664
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3665
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3666
3667
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3668
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3669
3670
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3671
3672
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3673
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3674
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3675
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3676
3677
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3678
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3679
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3680
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3681
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3682
3683
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3684
3685
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3686
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)

can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3692
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3693
3694
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3695
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3696
(John Arbash Meinel)
3697
3698
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3699
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3700
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3701
3702
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3703
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3704
(Aaron Bentley)
3705
3706
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3707
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3708
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3709
3710
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3711
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3712
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3713
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3714
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3715
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3716
3717
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3718
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3719
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3720
(Robert Collins)
3721
3722
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3723
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3724
3725
BUG FIXES:
3726
3727
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3728
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3729
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3730
#63360, #66349)
3731
3732
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3733
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3734
3735
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3736
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3737
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3738
3739
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3740
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3741
3742
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3743
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3744
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3745
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3746
3747
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3748
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3749
3750
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3751
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3752
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3753
3754
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3755
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3756
3757
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3758
3759
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3760
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3761
#32054)
3762
3763
TESTING:
3764
3765
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3766
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3767
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3768
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3769
3770
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3771
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3772
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3773
3774
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
3775
--------------------
3776
3777
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
3778
3779
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
3780
-----------------------
3781
3782
BUG FIXES:
3783
3784
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
3785
3786
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
3787
Arbash Meinel).
3788
3789
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
3790
-----------------------
3791
3792
IMPROVEMENTS:
3793
3794
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3795
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3796
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3797
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3798
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3799
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3800
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3801
3802
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3803
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3804
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3805
3806
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3807
3808
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3809
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3810
3811
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3812
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3813
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3814
(Robert Collins)
3815
3816
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3817
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3818
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3819
(John Arbash Meinel)
3820
3821
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3822
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3823
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3824
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3825
Pool)
3826
3827
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3828
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3829
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
3830
(John Arbash Meinel)
3831
3832
BUG FIXES:
3833
3834
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
3835
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
3836
3837
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3838
3839
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3840
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3841
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
3842
3843
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3844
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
3845
3846
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3847
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3848
3849
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3850
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3851
3852
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
3853
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
3854
3855
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3856
3857
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3858
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3859
3860
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3861
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3862
3863
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3864
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3865
3866
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3867
(John Arbash Meinel)
3868
3869
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3870
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3871
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3872
3873
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3874
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3875
3876
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3877
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3878
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3879
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3880
3881
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3882
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3883
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
3884
3885
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
3886
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
3887
3888
PORTABILITY:
3889
3890
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3891
3892
INTERNALS:
3893
3894
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3895
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3896
(John Arbash Meinel)
3897
3898
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3899
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3900
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3901
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3902
3903
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3904
(Andrew Bennetts)
3905
3906
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3907
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3908
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3909
3910
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3911
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3912
3913
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3914
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3915
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3916
3917
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3918
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3919
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3920
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3921
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3922
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3923
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3924
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3925
caller to repeat their request.
3926
(John Arbash Meinel)
3927
3928
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3929
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3930
3931
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3932
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3933
3934
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3935
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3936
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3937
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3938
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3939
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3940
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3941
3942
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3943
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3944
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3945
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3946
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3947
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3948
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3949
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3950
(Robert Collins)
3951
3952
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3953
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3954
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3955
3956
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3957
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3958
3959
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3960
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3961
3962
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3963
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3964
3965
TESTING:
3966
3967
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3968
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3969
3970
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3971
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3972
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3973
3974
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3975
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3976
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3977
3978
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
3979
--------------------
3980
3981
IMPROVEMENTS:
3982
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3983
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3984
3985
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3986
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3987
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3988
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3989
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3990
3991
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3992
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3993
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3994
3995
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3996
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3997
3998
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3999
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
4000
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4001
4002
BUG FIXES:
4003
4004
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
4005
4006
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
4007
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
4008
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
4009
4010
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
4011
4012
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
4013
4014
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
4015
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
4016
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
4017
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
4018
4019
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
4020
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
4021
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
4022
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
4023
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
4024
4025
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
4026
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
4027
4028
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
4029
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
4030
4031
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
4032
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
4033
4034
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
4035
in handling of revision properties.
4036
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
4037
4038
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
4039
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
4040
4041
INTERNALS:
4042
4043
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
4044
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
4045
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
4046
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
4047
(John Arbash Meinel)
4048
4049
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
4050
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
4051
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4052
4053
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4054
---------------------
4055
4056
SURPRISES:
4057
4058
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
4059
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
4060
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
4061
specific one '.bzrignore'.
4062
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
4063
a more conservative list than the old default.
4064
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
4065
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
4066
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
4067
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
4068
4069
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4070
to more locations than just branch locations.
4071
(Aaron Bentley)
4072
4073
IMPROVEMENTS:
4074
4075
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
4076
revno:N:branch. For example,
4077
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
4078
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4079
4080
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
4081
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
4082
the path of a file that has been versioned.
4083
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
4084
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
4085
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
4086
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
4087
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
4088
#42517, #42514)
4089
4090
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
4091
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
4092
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
4093
(Malone #3507)
4094
4095
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
4096
(Alexander Belchenko)
4097
4098
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
4099
4100
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
4101
(Robert Collins).
4102
4103
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
4104
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
4105
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
4106
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
4107
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
4108
(John Arbash Meinel)
4109
4110
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
4111
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
4112
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
4113
grained analysis of performance.
4114
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4115
4116
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
4117
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
4118
4119
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
4120
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
4121
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
4122
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
4123
file. (Robert Collins).
4124
4125
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
4126
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
4127
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
4128
4129
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
4130
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
4131
Matthieu Moy)
4132
4133
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
4134
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
4135
4136
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
4137
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
4138
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
4139
the same way you would apply another branch.
4140
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4141
4142
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
4143
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
4144
4145
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
4146
(Michael Ellerman)
4147
4148
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
4149
(Aaron Bentley)
4150
4151
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
4152
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
4153
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
4154
4155
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
4156
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
4157
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
4158
4159
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
4160
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
4161
4162
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
4163
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
4164
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
4165
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
4166
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
4167
4168
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
4169
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
4170
4171
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
4172
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
4173
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
4174
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
4175
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
4176
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
4177
branch is as much as 4x faster.
4178
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
4179
4180
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
4181
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
4182
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
4183
4184
BUG FIXES:
4185
4186
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4187
tests not to run.
4188
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4189
4190
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4191
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4192
4193
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4194
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4195
4196
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4197
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4198
4199
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4200
4201
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4202
(John Arbash Meinel)
4203
4204
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4205
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4206
4207
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4208
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4209
and y.
4210
4211
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4212
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4213
4214
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4215
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4216
4217
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4218
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4219
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4220
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4221
4222
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4223
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4224
4225
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4226
4227
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4228
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4229
4230
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4231
4232
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4233
4234
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4235
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4236
4237
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4238
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4239
4240
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4241
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4242
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4243
4244
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4245
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4246
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4247
4248
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4249
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4250
4251
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4252
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4253
4254
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4255
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4256
4257
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4258
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4259
4260
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4261
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
4262
4263
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
4264
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
4265
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
4266
4267
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
4268
4269
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
4270
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
4271
4272
INTERNALS:
4273
4274
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
4275
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
4276
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
4277
4278
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
4279
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
4280
4281
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
4282
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
4283
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4284
4285
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
4286
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4287
4288
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
4289
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
4290
(Martin Pool)
4291
4292
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
4293
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
4294
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4295
4296
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
4297
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
4298
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4299
4300
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
4301
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
4302
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
4303
4304
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
4305
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
4306
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
4307
4308
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
4309
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
4310
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
4311
4312
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
4313
instead. (Robert Collins)
4314
4315
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
4330
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
4331
4332
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
4333
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4334
4335
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
4336
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

4347
4348
CHANGES:
4349
4350
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
4351
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
4352

4353
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
4354
4355
NEW FEATURES:
4356
4357
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
4358
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.

INTERNALS:
4362
4363

new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4366
4367

4372
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
4373
-------------------
4374
4375
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4376
4377
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
4378
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
4379
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
4380
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
4381
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
4382
will keep the same format.
4383
4384
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
4385
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
4386
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
4387
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
4388
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
4389
4390
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
4391
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
4392
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
4393
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
4394
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
4395
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
4396
indicating the current revision of the branch.
4397
4398
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
4399
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
4400
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
4401
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
4402
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
4403
4404
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
4405
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
4406
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
4407
arrangement.
4408
4409
4410
IMPROVEMENTS:
4411
4412
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
4413
convention. Paths now take the form::
4414
4415
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
4416
or
4417
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
4418
4419
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
4420
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
4421
4422
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
4423
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
4424
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
4425
4426
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
4427
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
4428
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
4429
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
4430
4431
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
4432
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
4433
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
4434
4435
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
4436
4437
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
4438
4439
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
4440
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
4441
commits::
4442
4443
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
4444
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
4445
| xargs bzr re-sign
4446
4447
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
4448
4449
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
4450
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
4451
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
4452
(Robert Collins)
4453
4454
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
4455
4456
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
4457
4458
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
4459
'.moved'.
4460
4461
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
4462
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
4463
4464
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
4465
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
4466
Daniel Silverstone)
4467
4468
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
4469
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
4470
Martin Pool)
4471
4472
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
4473
4474
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
4475
4476
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
4477
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
4478
4479
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
4480
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
4481
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
4482
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
4483
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
4484
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
4485
4486
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
4487
4488
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
4489
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
4490
(Robert Collins)
4491
4492
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
4493
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
4494
4495
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
4496
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
4497
4498
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
4499
4500
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
4501
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
4502
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
4503
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
4504
specification by Martin Pool.
4505
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
4506
4507
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
4508
Belchenko)
4509
4510
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
4511
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4512
4513
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
4514
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
4515
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
4516
4517
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
4518
4519
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
4520
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
4521
(Robert Collins)
4522
4523
CHANGES:
4524
4525
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
4526
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4527
4528
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
4529
4530
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
4531
4532
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
4533
(Olaf Conradi)
4534
4535
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
4536
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
4537
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
4538
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
4539
4540
INTERNALS:
4541
4542
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
4543
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
4544
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
4545
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4546
4547
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
4548
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
4549
tried. (Martin Pool)
4550
4551
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
4552
(Martin Pool)
4553
4554
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
4555
4556
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
4557
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
4558
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
4559
4560
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
4561
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
4562
4563
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
4564
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
4565
paths. (Robert Collins)
4566
4567
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
4568
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
4569
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
4570
4571
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
4572
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
4573
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
4574
4575
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4576
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4577
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4578
4579
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4580
(Olaf Conradi)
4581
4582
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4583
(Olaf Conradi)
4584
4585
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4586
4587
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4588
4589
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
4590
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
4591
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
4592
(Robert Collins)
4593
4594
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4595
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4596
4597
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
4598
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
4599
check. (Robert Collins)
4600
4601
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4602
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4603
4604
TESTING:
4605
4606
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4607
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4608
4609
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4610
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4611
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4612
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4613
4614
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4615
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4616
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4617
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4618
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4619
4620
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4621
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4622
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4623
4624
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4625
4626
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4627
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
4628

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
4630
------------------
4631
4632
CHANGES:
4633
4634
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4635
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4636
4637
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4638
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4639
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4640
(Johan Rydberg)
4641
4642
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4643
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4644
4645
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4646
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4647
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4648
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4649
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4650
4651
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4652
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4653
used. (Robert Collins)
4654
4655
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4656
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4657
(James Henstridge)
4658
4659
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4660
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4661
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4662
4663
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4664
ignore list.
4665
4666
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4667
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4668
4669
IMPROVEMENTS:
4670
4671
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4672
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4673
4674
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4675
4676
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4677
4678
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4679
tree. (Robert Collins)
4680
4681
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4682
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4683
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4684
(Robert Collins)
4685
4686
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4687
that they be kept.
4688
4689
* Tweaks to short log printing
4690
4691
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4692
(Aaron Bentley)
4693
4694
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4695
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4696
4697
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4698
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4699
4700
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4701
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4702
4703
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
4704
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4705
settings. (Magnus Therning)
4706
4707
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
4708
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4709
4710
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4711
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4712
requests.
4713
4714
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4715
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4716
4717
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
4718
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
4719
4720
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
4721
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
4722
4723
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
4724
(Denys Duchier)
4725
4726
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
4727
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4728
4729
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4730
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4731
4732
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4733
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4734
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
4735
4736
BUG FIXES:
4737
4738
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
4739
4740
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4741
4742
* Error when run with -OO
4743
4744
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
4745
(Martin Pool)
4746
4747
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4748
4749
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4750
4751
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4752
ignored by diff and status
4753
4754
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4755
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
4756
4757
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
4758
4759
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4760
4761
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4762
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4763
4764
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4765
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4766
4767
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4768
(Harald Meland)
4769
4770
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4771
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4772
4773
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4774
4775
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4776
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4777
4778
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4779
(Martin Pool)
4780
4781
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4782
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4783
4784
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4785
4786
TESTING:
4787
4788
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4789
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4790
4791
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4792
4793
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4794
4795
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4796
4797
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4798
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4799
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4800
4801
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4802
4803
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4804
(John Arbash Meinel)
4805
4806
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4807
4808
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4809
If adding a new test script please add that to
4810
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4811
4812
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4813
imported. (Martin Pool)
4814
4815
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4816
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4817
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4818
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4819
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4820
(Robert Collins)
4821
4822
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4823
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4824
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4825
4826
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4827
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4828
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4829
4830
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4831
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4832
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4833
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4834
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4835
(Robert Collins).
4836
4837
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4838
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4839
(Robert Collins).
4840
4841
INTERNALS:
4842
4843
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4844
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4845
4846
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4847
function. (Robert Collins)
4848
4849
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4850
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4851
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4852
4853
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4854
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4855
(Robert Collins)
4856
4857
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4858
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4859
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4860
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4861
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4862
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4863
version. (Robert Collins)
4864
4865
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4866
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4867
4868
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4869
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4870
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4871
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4872
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4873
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4874
4875
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4876
(Robert Collins)
4877
4878
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4879
4880
add()
4881
commit()
4882
move()
4883
rename_one()
4884
unknowns()
4885
4886
(Robert Collins)
4887
4888
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4889
4890
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4891
4892
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4893
Pool)
4894
4895
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4896
query method. (Robert Collins)
4897
4898
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4899
(Denys Duchier)
4900
4901
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4902
(Michael Ellerman)
4903
4904
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4905
(Michael Ellerman)
4906
4907
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4908
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4909
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4910
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4911
4912
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4913
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4914
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4915
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4916
4917
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4918
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
4919
4920
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
4921
------------------
4922
4923
IMPROVEMENTS:
4924
4925
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4926
(John A Meinel)
4927
4928
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4929
conflicts.
4930
(Aaron Bentley)
4931
4932
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4933
a separator, not ':'.
4934
(Aaron Bentley)
4935
4936
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4937
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4938
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4939
4940
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4941
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4942
(Robert Collins)
4943
4944
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4945
has been added that suppresses all output.
4946
4947
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4948
Adams.
4949
4950
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4951
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4952
4953
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4954
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4955
4956
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4957
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4958
4959
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4960
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4961
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4962
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4963
4964
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4965
4966
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4967
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4968
4969
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4970
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4971
4972
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4973
output directory, if one was supplied.
4974
4975
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4976
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4977
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4978
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4979
4980
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4981
4982
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4983
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4984
4985
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4986
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4987
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4988
4989
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4990
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4991
4992
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4993
(Aaron Bentley)
4994
4995
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4996
4997
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4998
4999
TESTING:
5000
5001
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
5002
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
5003
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
5004
5005
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
5006
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
5007
related questions. (Robert Collins)
5008
5009
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
5010
is given. (Martin Pool)
5011
5012
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
5013
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
5014
file. (Robert Collins)
5015
5016
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
5017
(Martin Pool)
5018
5019
INTERNALS:
5020
5021
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
5022
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
5023
representation. (Martin Pool).
5024
5025
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
5026
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
5027
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
5028
5029
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5030
(Robert Collins)
5031
5032
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
5033
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
5034
Magnus Therning.
5035
5036
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5037
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
5038
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5039
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5040
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5041
5042
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5043
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5044
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5045
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5046
python path. (Robert Collins)
5047
5048
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5049
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5050
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5051
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5052
5053
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5054
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5055
5056
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5057
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5058
(Robert Collins)
5059
5060
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5061
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5062
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5063
5064
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5065
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5066
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5067
5068
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5069
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5070
5071
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5072
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5073
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5074
(Robert Collins)
5075
5076
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5077
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5078
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5079
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5080
(Robert Collins)
5081
5082
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5083
(Robert Collins)
5084
5085
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5086
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5087
(Robert Collins)
5088
5089
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
5090
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
5091
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
5092
5093
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
5094
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
5095
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
5096
5097
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
5098
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
5099
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
5100
5101
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5102
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5103
5104
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
5105
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
5106
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
5107
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
5108
caller. (Robert Collins)
5109
5110
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
5111
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
5112
(Robert Collins).
5113
5114
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
5115
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
5116
(Aaron Bentley)
5117
5118
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
5119
5120
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
5121
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
5122
5123
BUG FIXES:
5124
5125
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
5126
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
5127
5128
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
5129
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

5132
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
5133
--------------------
5134
5135
BUG FIXES:
5136
5137
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
5138
allow directories to be listed.
5139
5140
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
5141
upgrading branch format.
5142
5143
PERFORMANCE:
5144
5145
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
5146
5147
5148
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
5149
------------------
5150
5151
NOTES:
5152
5153
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
5154
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
5155
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
5156
high-latency connections.
5157
5158
BUG FIXES:
5159
5160
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
5161
Rob Weir.
5162
5163
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
5164
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
5165
5166
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
5167
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
5168
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
5169
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5170
5171
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5172
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5173
5174
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5175
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5176
5177
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
5178
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
5179
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5180
5181
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
5182
for files with only a change to their executable status.
5183
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
5184
Robert Collins
5185
5186
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5187
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5188
5189
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5190
different partial views of history.
5191
5192
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5193
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5194
5195
IMPROVEMENTS:
5196
5197
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5198
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5199
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5200
5201
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5202
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5203
'bzr upgrade'.
5204
5205
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5206
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5207
5208
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5209
Niemeyer.
5210
5211
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5212
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5213
5214
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5215
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5216
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5217
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5218
5219
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5220
5221
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5222
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5223
Gustavo Niemeyer.
5224
5225
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5226
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5227
5228
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5229
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5230
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5231
5232
5233
INTERNALS:
5234
5235
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5236
for your viewing pleasure.
5237
5238
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5239
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5240
5241
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5242
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5243
handling of such circumstances.
5244
5245
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
5246
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
5247
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
5248
5249
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5250
5251
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5252
we call them revisions not patches.
5253
5254
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5255
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5256
5257
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
5258
giving the revision *of that file*.
5259
5260
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
5261
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
5262
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
5263
5264
TESTING:
5265
5266
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
5267
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
5268
5269
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
5270
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
5271
5272
5273
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
5274
--------------------
5275
5276
BUG FIXES:
5277
5278
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
5279
5280
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
5281
(Robert Collins).
5282
5283
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
5284
5285
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
5286
5287
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
5288
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5289
5290
IMPROVEMENTS:
5291
5292
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
5293
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
5294
5295
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
5296
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
5297
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
5298
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
5299
Robey Pointer
5300
5301
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
5302
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5303
5304
INTERNALS:
5305
5306
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
5307
5308
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
5309
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
5310
5311
5312
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
5313
--------------------
5314
5315
IMPROVEMENTS:
5316
5317
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
5318
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
5319
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
5320
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
5321
Michael Ellerman.
5322
5323
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
5324
(Nir Soffer)
5325
5326
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
5327
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
5328
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
5329
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
5330
for the operating system is still tried.
5331
5332
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
5333
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
5334
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
5335
5336
5337
INTERNALS:
5338
5339
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
5340
5341
BUG FIXES:
5342
5343
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
5344
5345
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
5346
branch.
5347
5348
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
5349
read.
5350
5351
5352
PORTABILITY:
5353
5354
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
5355
5356
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
5357
5358
5359
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
5360
--------------------
5361
5362
NEW FEATURES:
5363
5364
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
5365
help with intelligent shell completion.
5366
5367
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
5368
5369
5370
ENHANCEMENTS:
5371
5372
* Much better merge support.
5373
5374
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
5375
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
5376
like emacs smerge.
5377
5378
5379
BUG FIXES:
5380
5381
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
5382
mention revisions that are not present.
5383
5384
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
5385
5386
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
5387
5388
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
5389
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
5390
5391
5392
CHANGES:
5393
5394
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
5395
5396
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
5397
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
5398
--help themselves.
5399
5400
5401
LIBRARY:
5402
5403
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
5404
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
5405
libraries.
5406
5407
5408
5409
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
5410
--------------------
5411
5412
NEW FEATURES:
5413
5414
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
5415
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
5416
5417
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
5418
5419
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
5420
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
5421
5422
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
5423
FOO.
5424
5425
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
5426
5427
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
5428
the Unix command.
5429
5430
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
5431
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
5432
5433
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
5434
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
5435
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
5436
5437
5438
ENHANCEMENTS:
5439
5440
* Faster working tree operations.
5441
5442
5443
CHANGES:
5444
5445
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
5446
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
5447
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
5448
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
5449
5450
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
5451
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
5452
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
5453
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
5454
standard plugins directory.
5455
5456
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
5457
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
5458
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
5459
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
5460
5461
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
5462
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
5463
5464
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
5465
disk.
5466
5467
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
5468
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
5469
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
5470
5471
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
5472
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
5473
5474
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
5475
line options must come before the command name because they
5476
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
5477
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
5478
it.
5479
5480
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
5481
5482
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
5483
is available with ``--short``.
5484
5485
5486
BUG FIXES:
5487
5488
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
5489
5490
5491
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
5492
---------------------
5493
5494
CHANGES:
5495
5496
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
5497
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5498
5499
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
5500
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
5501
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
5502
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
5503
5504
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
5505
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
5506
with the ``--forward`` option.
5507
5508
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
5509
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
5510
field.
5511
5512
5513
ENHANCEMENTS:
5514
5515
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
5516
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
5517
5518
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
5519
5520
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
5521
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
5522
5523
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
5524
5525
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
5526
either read or write mode.
5527
5528
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
5529
5530
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
5531
affected that file.
5532
5533
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
5534
5535
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
5536
suggested by LarstiQ.
5537
5538
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
5539
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
5540
5541
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
5542
a filename.
5543
5544
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
5545
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
5546
5547
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
5548
haven't changed since the previous time.
5549
5550
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
5551
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
5552
5553
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
5554
5555
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
5556
5557
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
5558
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
5559
5560
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
5561
options through to an external GNU diff.
5562
5563
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
5564
their contents.
5565
5566
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
5567
from a branch.
5568
5569
5570
BUG FIXES:
5571
5572
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
5573
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
5574
5575
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
5576
metacharacters.
5577
5578
5579
TESTING:
5580
5581
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
5582
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
5583
the tests.
5584
5585
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
5586
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
5587
5588
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
5589
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
5590
5591
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
5592
under a different version.
5593
5594
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
5595
5596
5597
INTERNAL:
5598
5599
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
5600
5601
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
5602
Scott James Remnant.
5603
5604
* Better help messages for many commands.
5605
5606
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
5607
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
5608
5609
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
5610
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
5611
5612
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
5613
5614
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
5615
5616
* New AtomicFile class.
5617
5618
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
5619
5620
5621
PORTABILITY:
5622
5623
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
5624
2.4 is now only recommended.

5628
---------------------
5629
5630
ENHANCEMENTS:
5631
5632
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
5633
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
5634
5635
* More default ignore patterns.
5636
5637
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
5638
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
5639
5640
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
5641
5642
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
5643
by Jason Diamon.
5644
5645
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
5646
5647
5648
CHANGES:
5649
5650
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
5651
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
5652
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
5653
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
5654
there are DNS problems.
5655
5656
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
5657
5658
5659
BUG FIXES:
5660
5661
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
5662
5663

5666
trailing newlines properly.
5667
5668
5669
INTERNAL:
5670
5671
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
5672
Matt Brubeck.
5673
5674
* More tests in test.sh.
5675
5676
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
5677
directory and delete it when done.
5678
5679
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
5680
5681
5682
PORTABILITY:
5683
5684
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
5685
Bennetts.
5686
5687
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
5688
from QuantumG.

5711
CHANGES:
5712
5713
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
5714
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
5715
will do for now.)
5716
5717
PORTABILITY:
5718
5719
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
5720
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
5721
Nielsen.

5755
branch.
5756
5757
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
5758
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
5759
5760
* Performance improvements.
5761
5762
* New global --profile option.
5763
5764
