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)
19
20
FEATURES:
21
22
IMPROVEMENTS:
23
24
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
25
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley)
26
27
BUGFIXES:
28
29
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
30
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
31
32
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
33
(Andreas Deininger)
34
35
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
36
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
37
38
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
39
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
40
41
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
42
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
43
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
44
45
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
46
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
47
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
48
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
49
every revision each side had in common.
50
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
51
52
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
53
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
54
55
DOCUMENTATION:
56
57
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
58
59
TESTING:
60
61
INTERNALS:
62
63
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
64
65
API BREAKS:
66
67
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
68
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
69
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
70
(Aaron Bentley)
71
72
73
bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
74
---------------------
75
76
BUG FIXES:
77
78
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
79
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
80
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
81
82
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
83
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
84
85
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
86
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
87
88
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
89
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
90
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
91
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
92
every revision each side had in common.

bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
97
---------------------
98
99
100
101
bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
102
---------------------
103
104
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
105
106
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
107
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
108
109
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
110
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
111
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
112
113
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
114
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
115
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
116
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
117
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
118
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
119
Andrew Cowie)
120
121
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
122
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
123
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
124
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
125
126
FEATURES:
127
128
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
129
130
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
131
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
132
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
133
134
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
135
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
136
See the User Reference for signature details.
137
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
138
139
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
140
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
141
142
IMPROVEMENTS:
143
144
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
145
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
146
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
147
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
148
149
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
150
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
151
152
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
153
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
154
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
155
Wouter van Heyst)
156
157
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
158
(Chad Miller)
159
160
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
161
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
162
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
163
164
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
165
(Aaron Bentley)
166
167
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
168
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
169
170
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
171
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
172
173
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
174
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
175
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
176
177
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
178
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
179
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
180
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
181
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
182
183
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
184
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
185
186
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
187
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
188
189
BUGFIXES:
190
191
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
192
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
193
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
194
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
195
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
196
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
197
198
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
199
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
200
201
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
202
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
203
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
204
205
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
206
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
207
208
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
209
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
210
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
211
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
212
213
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
214
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
215
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
216
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
217
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
218
219
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
220
221
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
222
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
223
224
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
225
226
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
227
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
228
229
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
230
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
231
232
DOCUMENTATION:
233
234
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
235
236
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
237
238
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
239
240
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
241
242
API BREAKS:
243
244
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
245
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
246
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
247
248
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
249
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
250
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
251
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
252
253
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
254
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
255
release. (James Westby)
256
257
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
258
(Andrew Bennetts)
259
260
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
261
262
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
263
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
264
265
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
266
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
267
268
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
269
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
270
271
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
272
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
273
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
274
275
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
276
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
277
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
278
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
279
280
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
281
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
282
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
283
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
284
285
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
286
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
287
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
288
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
289
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
290
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
291
292
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
293
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
294
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
295
296
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
297
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
298
299
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
300
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
301
(Robert Collins)
302
303
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
304
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
305
306
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
307
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
308
309
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
310
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
311
312
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
313
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
314
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
315
316
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
317
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
318
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
319
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
320
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
321
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
322
323
TESTING:
324
325
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
326
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
327
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
328
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
329
330
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
331
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
332
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
333
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
334
implement this).
335
(Vincent Ladeuil)
336
337
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
338
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
339
(Vincent Ladeuil)
340
341
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
342
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
343
344
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
345
346
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
347
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
348
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
349
350
INTERNALS:
351
352
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
353
354
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
355
(Martin Albisetti)
356
357
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
358
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
359
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
360
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
361
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
362
(Martin Pool, #109520)
363
364
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
365
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
366
367
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
368
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
369
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
370
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
371
372
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
373
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
374
375
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
376
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)
377
378
379
bzr 1.3 2008-03-20
380
------------------
381
382
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
383
384
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
385
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
386
features have been added.
387
388
TESTING:
389
390
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
391
directory names.
392
(#202778, Martin Pool)
393
394
395
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-03-16
396
---------------------
397
398
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
399
400
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
401
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
402
403
CHANGES:
404
405
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
406
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
407
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
408
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
409
(Robert Collins)
410
411
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
412
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
413
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
414
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
415
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
416
(Alexander Belchenko)
417
418
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
419
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
420
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
421
(Alexander Belchenko)
422
423
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
424
425
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
426
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
427
428
FEATURES:
429
430
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
431
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
432
433
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
434
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
435
(Jelmer Vernooij)
436
437
IMPROVEMENTS:
438
439
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
440
441
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
442
443
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
444
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
445
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
446
447
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
448
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
449
450
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
451
to. (Daniel Watkins)
452
453
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
454
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
455
(Alexander Belchenko)
456
457
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
458
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
459
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
460
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
461
462
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
463
(Daniel Watkins)
464
465
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
466
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
467
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
468
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
469
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
470
471
BUGFIXES:
472
473
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
474
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
475
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
476
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
477
478
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
479
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
480
481
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
482
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
483
484
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
485
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
486
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
487
488
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
489
(#198793, John Ferlito)
490
491
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
492
#196618)
493
494
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
495
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
496
497
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
498
499
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
500
501
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
502
symlinks (James Henstridge)
503
504
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
505
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
506
507
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
508
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
509
510
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
511
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
512
513
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
514
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
515
516
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
517
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
518
519
DOCUMENTATION:
520
521
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
522
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
523
524
API BREAKS:
525
526
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
527
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
528
(Alexander Belchenko)
529
530
TESTING:
531
532
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
533
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
534
(Robert Collins)
535
536
INTERNALS:
537
538
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
539
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
540
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
541
542
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
543
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
544
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
545
(Alexander Belchenko)
546
547
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
548
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
549
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
550
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
551
552
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
553
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
554
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
555
(Robert Collins)
556
557
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
558
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
559
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
560
561
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
562
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
563
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
564
565
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
566
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
567
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
568
format. (Robert Collins)

BUG FIXES:
575
576
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)

bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
580
---------------------
581
582
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
583
584
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
585
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
586
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
587
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
588
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
589
(Andrew Bennetts)
590
591
CHANGES:
592
593
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
594
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
595
596
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
597
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
598
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
599
600
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
601
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
602
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
603
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
604
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
605
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
606
(Aaron Bentley)
607
608
FEATURES:
609
610
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
611
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
612
613
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
614
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
615
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
616
(Robert Collins)
617
618
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
619
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
620
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
621
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
622
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
623
624
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
625
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
626
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
627
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
628
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
629
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
630
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
631
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
632
633
IMPROVEMENTS:
634
635
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
636
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
637
638
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
639
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
640
641
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
642
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
643
644
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
645
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
646
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
647
648
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
649
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
650
(John Arbash Meinel)
651
652
BUGFIXES:
653
654
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
655
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
656
657
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
658
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
659
660
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
661
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
662
663
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
664
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
665
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
666
667
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
668
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
669
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
670
671
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
672
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
673
674
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
675
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
676
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
677
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
678
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
679
unittest runner.
680
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
681
682
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
683
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
684
#185907)
685
686
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
687
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
688
689
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
690
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
691
692
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
693
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
694
695
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
696
more characters which should be considered valid.
697
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
698
699
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
700
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
701
702
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
703
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
704
705
API BREAKS:
706
707
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
708
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
709
710
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
711
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
712
(Martin Pool)
713
714
TESTING:
715
716
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
717
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
718
(Vincent Ladeuil)
719
720
INTERNALS:
721
722
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
723
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
724
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
725
726
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
727
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
728
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
729
730
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
731
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
732
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
733
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
734
735
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
736
737
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
738
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
739
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
740
server. (Robert Collins)
741
742
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
743
operate. (Robert Collins)
744
745
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
746
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
747
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
748
749
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
750
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
751
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
752
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
753
754
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
755
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
756
757
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
758
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
759
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
760
761
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
762
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
763
764
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
765
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
766
767
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
768
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
769
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
770
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
771

777
778
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
779
---------------------
780
781
CHANGES:
782
783
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
784
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
785
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
786
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
787
788
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
789
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
790
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
791
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
792
793
FEATURES:
794
795
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
796
(Lukáš Lalinský)
797
798
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
799
(Aaron Bentley)
800
801
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
802
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
803
804
IMPROVEMENTS:
805
806
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
807
#90049)
808
809
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
810
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
811
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
812
813
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
814
815
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
816
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
817
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
818
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
819
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
820
821
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
822
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
823
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
824
825
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
826
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
827
828
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
829
(Vincent Ladeuil)
830
831
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
832
833
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
834
835
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
836
(Aaron Bentley)
837
838
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
839
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
840
841
BUGFIXES:
842
843
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
844
(Martin Pool, #180208)
845
846
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
847
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
848
849
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
850
(Aaron Bentley)
851
852
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
853
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
854
855
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
856
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
857
858
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
859
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
860
861
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
862
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
863
864
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
865
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
866
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
867
868
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
869
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
870
871
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
872
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
873
(Aaron Bentley)
874
875
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
876
877
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
878
user:pass embedded in the urls.
879
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
880
881
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
882
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
883
884
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
885
(Aaron Bentley)
886
887
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
888
#148087)
889
890
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
891
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
892
893
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
894
#137681)
895
896
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
897
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
898
(Aaron Bentley)
899
900
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
901
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
902
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
903
904
DOCUMENTATION:
905
906
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
907
(Ian Clatworthy)
908
909
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
910
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
911
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
912
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
913
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
914
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
915
916
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
917
918
INTERNALS:
919
920
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
921
(Aaron Bentley)
922
923
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
924
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
925
926
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
927
928
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
929
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
930
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
931
Robert Collins)
932
933
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
934
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
935
936
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
937
(Vincent Ladeuil)
938
939
API BREAKS:
940
941
TESTING:
942
943
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
944
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
945
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
946
947
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
948
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
949
(Robert Collins)
950
951
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
952
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
953
954
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
955
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
956
957
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
958
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
959
960
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
961
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
962
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
963
964
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
965
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
966
967
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
968
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
969
970
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
971
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
972
(Vincent Ladeuil)
973
974
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
975
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
976
977
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
978
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

BUGFIXES:
1009
1010
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
1011
1012
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
1013
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
1014
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
1015
feedback but also incur more latency.
1016
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
1017

INTERNALS:
1029
1030
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the

IMPROVEMENTS:
1040
1041
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1042
1043
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
1044
(Aaron Bentley)
1045
1046
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
1047
Nordhoff, #172612)
1048
1049
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1050
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1051
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
1052
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1053
1054
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
1055
(Kent Gibson)
1056
1057
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1058
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1059
1060
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1061
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1062
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1063
1064
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1065
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1066
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1067
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1068
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1069
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1070
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1071
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1072
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
1073
1074
INTERNALS:
1075

* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
1087
filename to user.
1088
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1089
1090
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1091
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1092
required.
1093
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
1094
1095
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1096
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
1097
1098
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
1099
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
1100
1101

bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
1108
---------------------
1109
1110
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1111
1112
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1113
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1114
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1115
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1116
1117
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1118
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1119
1120
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1121
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1122
1123
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1124
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1125
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1126
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1127
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1128
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1129
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1130
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1131
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1132
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1133
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1134
from any tree without problems.
1135
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
1136
1137
CHANGES:
1138
1139
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1140
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1141
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1142
1143
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
1144
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
1145
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
1146
(Martin Pool)
1147
1148
FEATURES:
1149
1150
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
1151
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
1152
supported transports.
1153
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1154
1155
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
1156
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
1157
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
1158
1159
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1160
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1161
1162
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
1163
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
1164
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
1165
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
1166
1167
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
1168
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
1169
1170
PERFORMANCE:
1171
1172
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
1173
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
1174
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
1175
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1176
1177
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
1178
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
1179
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
1180
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
1181
1182
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
1183
(Robert Collins, #88319)
1184
1185
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
1186
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
1187
1188
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1189
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1190
1191
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1192
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1193
(Aaron Bentley)
1194
1195
IMPROVEMENTS:
1196
1197
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1198
(Aaron Bentley)
1199
1200
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1201
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1202
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1203
1204
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1205
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1206
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1207
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1208
1209
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1210
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1211
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1212
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

1220
1221
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
1222
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
1223
1224
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
1225
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
1226
1227
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
1228
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
1229
1230
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
1231
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
1232
1233
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
1234
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
1235
1236
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
1237
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
1238
1239
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
1240
(Aaron Bentley)
1241
1242
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
1243
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
1244
1245
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
1246
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
1247
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
1248
1249
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
1250
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
1251
1252
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
1253
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
1254
1255
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
1256
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
1257
1258
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
1259
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
1260
1261
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
1262
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
1263
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
1264
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
1265
on them.
1266
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1267
1268
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
1269
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1270
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
1271
1272
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
1273
(Robert Collins, #161240)
1274
1275
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
1276
to be reconciled.
1277
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1278
1279
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1280
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1281
1282
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1283
specify a port in urls.
1284
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1285
1286
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
1287
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
1288
1289
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
1290
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
1291
1292
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
1293
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
1294
1295
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
1296
(Robert Collins, #153789)
1297
1298
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
1299
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
1300
(Robert Collins, #165304).
1301
1302
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
1303
1304
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
1305
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
1306
1307
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
1308
Watkins, #152811)
1309
1310
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
1311
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
1312
1313
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
1314
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
1315
1316
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
1317
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
1318
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
1319
1320
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
1321
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
1322
1323
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
1324
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
1325
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
1326
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
1327
1328
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
1329
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
1330
1331
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
1332
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
1333
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
1334
1335
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
1336
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
1337
1338
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
1339
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
1340
1341
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
1342
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
1343
1344
API BREAKS:
1345
1346
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
1347
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
1348
1349
* The return value of
1350
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
1351
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
1352
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
1353
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
1354
1355
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
1356
(Robert Collins)
1357
1358
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
1359
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
1360
format.
1361
(Martin Pool)
1362
1363
INTERNALS:
1364
1365
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
1366
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
1367
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
1368
Bennetts)
1369
1370
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
1371
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
1372
1373
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1390
1391
CHANGES:
1392
1393
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
1394
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
1395
1396
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
1397
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
1398
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
1399
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
1400
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
1401
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
1402
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
1403
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
1404
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
1405
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
1406
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
1407
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
1408
(Robert Collins)
1409
1410
FEATURES:
1411
1412
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
1413
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
1414
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
1415
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
1416
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
1417
for further details. (Robert Collins)
1418
1419
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
1420
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
1421
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
1422
(Robert Collins)
1423
1424
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
1425
1426
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
1427
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
1428
1429
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
1430
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
1431
(Aaron Bentley)
1432
1433
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
1434
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
1435
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
1436
1437
PERFORMANCE:
1438
1439
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
1440
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1441
1442
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
1443
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
1444
1445
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
1446
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
1447
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
1448
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
1449
1450
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
1451
(Robert Collins)
1452
1453
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
1454
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
1455
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
1456
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
1457
1458
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
1459
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
1460
1461
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
1462
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1463
1464
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
1465
the contents. (Robert Collins)
1466
1467
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
1468
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
1469
1470
IMPROVEMENTS:
1471
1472
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
1473
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
1474
1475
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
1476
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
1477
1478
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
1479
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
1480
1481
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
1482
(Martin Pool, #63894)
1483
1484
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
1485
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
1486
1487
DOCUMENTATION:
1488
1489
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
1490
1491
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
1492
(Ian Clatworthy)
1493
1494
BUG FIXES:
1495
1496
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
1497
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
1498
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
1499
1500
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
1501
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
1502
1503
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
1504
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
1505
1506
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
1507
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
1508
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
1509
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
1510
1511
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
1512
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
1513
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
1514
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
1515
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
1516
1517
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
1518
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
1519
paramiko.
1520
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
1521
1522
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1523
1524
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
1525
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
1526
1527
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
1528
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
1529
1530
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
1531
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
1532
1533
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
1534
contains a symbolic link.
1535
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
1536
1537
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
1538
(James Westby, #140615)
1539
1540
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
1541
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
1542
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
1543
1544
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
1545
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
1546
(Martin Pool, #144633)
1547
1548
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1549
1550
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
1551
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
1552
1553
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
1554
will remain opened.
1555
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
1556
1557
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
1558
directory to detect leaking tests.
1559
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
1560
1561
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
1562
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
1563
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
1564
1565
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
1566
(Rob Weir, #141629)
1567
1568
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
1569
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
1570
1571
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
1572
Merwe)
1573
1574
API BREAKS:
1575
1576
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
1577
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
1578
1579
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
1580
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
1581
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
1582
1583
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
1584
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
1585
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
1586
1587
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
1588
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
1589
1590
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
1591
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
1592
1593
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
1594
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
1595
(Martin Pool)
1596
1597
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
1598
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
1599
1600
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
1601
class that needs it.
1602
(Martin Pool)
1603
1604
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
1605
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
1606
1607
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
1608
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
1609
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
1610
1611
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
1612
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
1613
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
1614
(Robert Collins)
1615
1616
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
1617
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
1618
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
1619
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
1620
(Robert Collins)
1621
1622
INTERNALS:
1623
1624
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1625
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1626
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1627
1628
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1629
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1630
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1631
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1632
1633
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1634
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1635
(Robert Collins)
1636
1637
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1638
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1639
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1640
1641
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1642
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1643
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1644
1645
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1646
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1647
1648
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1649
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1650
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1651
1652
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1653
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1654
1655
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1656
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1657
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1658
1659
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1660
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1661
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1662
1663
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1664
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1665
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1666
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1667
1668
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1669
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1670
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1671
returned. (Robert Collins)
1672
1673
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1674
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1675
1676
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1677
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1678
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1679
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1680
(Robert Collins)
1681
1682
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1683
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1684
1685
TESTING:
1686
1687
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1688
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1689
1690
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1691
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1692
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1693
makes this behavior available to other users.
1694
(Martin Pool)
1695
1696
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1697
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
1698
1699
1700
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
1701
-------------------
1702
1703
BUG FIXES:
1704
1705
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1706
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1707
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1708
1709
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1710
1711
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1712
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1713
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1714
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1715
1716
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1717
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
1718
(Andrew Bennetts)
1719
1720
1721
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1722
----------------------
1723
1724
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
1725
in bzrlib/remote.py.
1726
1727
1728
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
1729
----------------------
1730
1731
CHANGES:
1732
1733
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1734
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1735
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1736
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1737
(Martin Pool)
1738
1739
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1740
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1741
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1742
(Ian Clatworthy)
1743
1744
FEATURES:
1745
1746
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1747
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1748
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1749
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1750
1751
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1752
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1753
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1754
1755
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1756
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1757
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1758
1759
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1760
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1761
1762
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1763
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1764
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1765
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1766
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1767
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1768
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1769
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1770
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1771
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1772
1773
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1774
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1775
1776
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1777
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1778
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1779
1780
BUG FIXES:
1781
1782
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1783
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1784
1785
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1786
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1787
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1788
1789
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1790
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1791
1792
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1793
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1794
1795
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1796
(Aaron Bentley)
1797
1798
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1799
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1800
1801
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1802
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1803
1804
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1805
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1806
1807
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1808
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1809
1810
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1811
1812
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1813
Watkins, #106726)
1814
1815
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1816
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1817
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1818
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1819
1820
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1821
1822
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1823
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1824
#133548)
1825
1826
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1827
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1828
1829
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1830
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1831
#116143)
1832
1833
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1834
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1835
1836
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1837
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1838
1839
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1840
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1841
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1842
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1843
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1844
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1845
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1846
1847
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1848
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1849
1850
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1851
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1852
1853
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1854
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1855
1856
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1857
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1858
1859
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1860
connections.
1861
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1862
1863
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1864
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1865
1866
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1867
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1868
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1869
1870
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1871
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1872
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1873
1874
IMPROVEMENTS:
1875
1876
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1877
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1878
1879
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1880
(Aaron Bentley)
1881
1882
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1883
(Aaron Bentley)
1884
1885
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1886
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1887
1888
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1889
1890
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1891
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1892
1893
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1894
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1895
1896
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1897
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1898
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1899
space). (Robert Collins)
1900
1901
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1902
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1903
(Ian Clatworthy)
1904
1905
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1906
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1907
1908
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1909
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1910
1911
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1912
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1913
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1914
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1915
1916
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1917
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1918
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1919
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1920
1921
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1922
(Ian Clatworthy)
1923
1924
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1925
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1926
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1927
1928
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1929
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1930
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1931
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1932
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1933
1934
API BREAKS:
1935
1936
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1937
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1938
1939
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1940
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1941
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1942
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1943
affected. (Robert Collins)
1944
1945
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1946
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1947
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1948
(Robert Collins)
1949
1950
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1951
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1952
1953
TESTING:
1954
1955
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1956
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1957
1958
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1959
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1960
1961
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1962
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1963
1964
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1965
(Aaron Bentley)
1966
1967
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1968
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1969
1970
INTERNALS:
1971
1972
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1973
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1974
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1975
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1976
1977
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1978
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1979
1980
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1981
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1982
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1983
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1984
1985
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1986
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1987
present. (Robert Collins)
1988
1989
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1990
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1991
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1992
API. (Robert Collins)
1993
1994
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1995
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1996
(Robert Collins)
1997
1998
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1999
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
2000
2001
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
2002
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
2003
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
2004
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
2005
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
2006
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
2007
2008
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
2009
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
2010
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
2011
2012
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
2013
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
2014
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
2015
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
2016
protocol.
2017
2018
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
2019
(Aaron Bentley)
2020
2021
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
2022
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
2023
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
2024
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
2025
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
2026
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
2027
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
2028
2029
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
2030
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
2031
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
2032
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
2033
2034
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
2035
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
2036
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
2037
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
2038
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
2039
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
2040
2041
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
2042
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
2043
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
2044
2045
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
2046
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2047
2048
2049
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
2050
-------------------
2051
2052
IMPROVEMENTS:
2053
2054
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2055
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2056
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2057
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2058
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2059
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2060
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
2061
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
2062
2063
2064
API CHANGES:
2065
2066
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2067
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2068
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
2069
2070
2071
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
2072
----------------------
2073
2074
BUGFIXES:
2075
2076
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2077
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2078
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2079
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2080
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2081
2082
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2083
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2084
2085
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2086
anymore.
2087
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2088
2089
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2090
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2091
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2092
2093
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2094
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2095
#111664)
2096
2097
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2098
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2099
2100
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2101
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2102
2103
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2104
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2105
2106
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2107
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2108
2109
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2110
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2111
2112
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2113
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2114
2115
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2116
(Aaron Bentley)
2117
2118
IMPROVEMENTS:
2119
2120
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2121
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2122
2123
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2124
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2125
2126
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2127
the repository (Robert Collins)
2128
2129
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2130
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2131
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2132
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2133
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2134
2135
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2136
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2137
2138
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2139
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2140
(John Arbash Meinel)
2141
2142
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2143
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2144
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2145
about 10%).
2146
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2147
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2148
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2149
(John Arbash Meinel)
2150
2151
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2152
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2153
(Robert Collins)
2154
2155
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2156
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2157
2158
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2159
(Ian Clatworthy)
2160
2161
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2162
2163
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2164
2165
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2166
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2167
2168
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2169
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2170
Meinel)
2171
2172
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2173
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2174
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2175
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2176
2177
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2178
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
2179
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
2180
2181
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
2182
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
2183
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
2184
2185
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2186
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2187
2188
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2189
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2190
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2191
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2192
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2193
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2194
(Ian Clatworthy)
2195
2196
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2197
(Alexander Belchenko)
2198
2199
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2200
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2201
2202
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2203
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2204
2205
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2206
2207
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2208
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2209
2210
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2211
2212
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2213
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2214
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2215
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2216
2217
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2218
2219
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2220
(Robert Collins)
2221
2222
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2223
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2224
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2225
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2226
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2227
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2228
2229
INTERNALS:
2230
2231
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2232
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2233
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2234
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2235
2236
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2237
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2238
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2239
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2240
tests have been refactored too.
2241
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2242
2243
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2244
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2245
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2246
list, it will.
2247
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2248
2249
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2250
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2251
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2252
2253
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2254
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2255
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2256
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2257
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2258
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2259
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2260
2261
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2262
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2263
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2264
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2265
(John Arbash Meinel)
2266
2267
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2268
functionality for testing.
2269
2270
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2271
2272
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2273
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2274
2275
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2276
2277
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2278
(Robert Collins)
2279
2280
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2281
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2282
2283
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2284
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2285
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2286
2287
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2288
(Aaron Bentley)
2289
2290
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2291
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2292
2293
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2294
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2295
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2296
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2297
2298
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2299
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2300
2301
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2302
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2303
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2304
2305
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2306
(Marius Kruger)
2307
2308
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2309
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2310
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2311
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2312
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
2313
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2314
2315
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
2316
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
2317
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
2318
many files. (Robert Collins)
2319
2320
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
2321
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
2322
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
2323
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
2324
2325
TESTING:
2326
2327
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
2328
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
2329
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
2330
2331
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
2332
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)

2334
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
2335
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
2336
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
2351
2352
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
2353
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
2354
2355
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
2356
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
2357
(James Westby, #122656)
2358
2359
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
2360
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
2361
2362
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
2363
authentication header.
2364
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
2365
2366
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
2367
2368
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
2369
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
2370
2371
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
2372
2373
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
2374
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
2375
2376
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
2377
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
2378
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
2379
2380
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
2381
individually and as part of revision ranges.
2382
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
2383
2384
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
2385
(Martin Pool, #109169)
2386
2387
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
2388
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
2389
2390
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
2391
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
2392
2393
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2394
2395
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
2396
2397
IMPROVEMENTS:
2398
2399
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
2400
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
2401
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
2402
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
2403
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
2404
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
2405
2406
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
2407
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
2408
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
2409
2410
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
2411
(Elliot Murphy)
2412
2413
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
2414
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
2415
2416
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
2417
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
2418
2419
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
2420
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
2421
2422
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
2423
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
2424
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
2425
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
2426
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
2427
2428
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
2429
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
2430
2431
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
2432
can be slow it is useful feedback).
2433
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
2434
2435
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
2436
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
2437
2438
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
2439
2440
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
2441
output. (Aaron Bentley)
2442
2443
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
2444
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
2445
(Robert Collins)
2446
2447
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
2448
(Martin Pool)
2449
2450
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
2451
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
2452
2453
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
2454
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
2455
2456
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
2457
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
2458
2459
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
2460
2461
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
2462
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
2463
2464
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
2465
(Andrew Bennetts)
2466
2467
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2468
2469
* Testing cleanups -
2470
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2471
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
2472
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2473
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
2474
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2475
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
2476
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2477
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
2478
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2479
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
2480
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
2481
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
2482
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2483
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
2484
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2485
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
2486
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
2487
(Robert Collins)
2488
2489
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
2490
2491
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
2492
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
2493
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
2494
2495
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
2496
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
2497
2498
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
2499
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2500
2501
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
2502
2503
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
2504
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
2505
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
2506
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
2507
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
2508
same location. (Robert Collins)
2509
2510
INTERNALS:
2511
2512
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
2513
2514
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
2515
2516
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
2517
2518
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
2519
(Martin Pool)
2520
2521
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
2522
(Martin Pool)
2523
2524
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
2525
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
2526
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
2527
2528
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
2529
2530
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
2531
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
2532
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
2533
2534
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
2535
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
2536
2537
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
2538
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
2539
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
2540
2541
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
2542
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
2543
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
2544
2545
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
2546
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
2547
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
2548
2549
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
2550
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
2551
Martin Pool)
2552
2553
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
2554
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
2555
2556
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
2557
(Alexander Belchenko)
2558
2559
TESTING:
2560
2561
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
2562
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
2563
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
2564
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2565
2566
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
2567
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
2568
testing. (Robert Collins)
2569
2570
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
2571
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
2572
2573
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
2574
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
2575
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
2576
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
2577
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
2578
attribute during the test parameterisation in
2579
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
2580
2581
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
2582
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
2583
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
2584
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
2585
2586
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
2587
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
2588
2589
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
2590
avoid useless cloning.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2610
2611
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
2612
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
2613
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
2614
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
2615
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
2616
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
2617
and unlock() like so::
2618
2619
work_tree.lock_read()
2620
try:
2621
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
2622
finally:
2623
work_tree.unlock()
2624
2625
INTERNALS:
2626
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
2627
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
2628
object.
2629
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
2630
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
2631
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
2632
2633
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2634
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2635
too. (Robert Collins)
2636
2637
IMPROVEMENTS:
2638
2639
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
2640
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
2641
Aaron Bentley)
2642
2643
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
2644
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
2645
2646
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
2647
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
2648
2649
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
2650
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
2651
understanding what changes have occurred
2652
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
2653
2654
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
2655
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
2656
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2657
2658
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
2659
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
2660
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
2661
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2662
2663
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2664
#56322)
2665
2666
BUGFIXES:
2667
2668
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
2669
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
2670
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
2671
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
2672
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
2673
2674
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2675
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2676
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2677
2678
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
2679
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
2680
2681
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
2682
into account.
2683
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2684
2685
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2686
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2687
2688
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2689
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2690
2691
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2692
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2693
2694
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2695
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2696
2697
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2698
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2699
2700
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2701
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2702
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

2705
--------------------
2706
2707
BUGFIXES:
2708
2709
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2710
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2711
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2712
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2713
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2714
2715
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2716
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2717
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2718
2719
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2720
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2721
2722
IMPROVEMENTS:
2723
2724
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2725
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2726
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2727
2728
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2729
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2730
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2731
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

BUGFIXES:
2737
2738
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2739
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2740
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2741
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2742
2743
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2744
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2745
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
2746
2747
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2748
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
2749
2750
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
2751
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
2752
2753
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned

2757
-----------------------
2758
2759
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2760
2761
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
2762
it could be recovered again.
2763
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
2764
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
2765
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
2766
but not delete it.
2767
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
2768
files.
2769
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
2770
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
2771
2772
IMPROVEMENTS:
2773
2774
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
2775
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
2776
2777
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
2778
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
2779
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
2780
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
2781
2782
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
2783
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
2784
2785
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
2786
tests with names that match that regular expression.
2787
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
2788
2789
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
2790
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.

* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
2794
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
2795
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
2796
2797
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
2798
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
2799
Robert Collins)
2800
2801
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
2802
Pool)
2803
2804
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
2805
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
2806
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
2807
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
2808
2809
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
2810
(Robert Collins)
2811
2812
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
2813
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
2814
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
2815
(Robert Collins)
2816
2817
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
2818
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
2819
2820
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
2821
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
2822
2823
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
2824
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
2825
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
2826
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
2827
(Robert Collins)
2828
2829
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
2830
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
2831
2832
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
2833
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2834
2835
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
2836
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
2837
(Robert Collins, #107125).
2838
2839
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
2840
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
2841
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
2842
2843
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
2844
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
2845
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2846
2847
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
2848
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
2849
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
2850
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
2851
2852
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
2853
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
2854
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
2855
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
2856
2857
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
2858
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
2859
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
2860
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
2861
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
2862
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
2863
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
2864
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
2865
header(s).
2866
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2867
2868
INTERNALS:
2869
2870
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
2871
code paths. (Robert Collins)
2872
2873
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
2874
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
2875
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
2876
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
2877
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2878
2879
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
2880
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
2881
2882
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
2883
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
2884
2885
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
2886
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
2887
2888
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
2889
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
2890
2891
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
2892
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
2893
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
2894
(Robert Collins).
2895
2896
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
2897
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
2898
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
2899
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
2900
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
2901
(Robert Collins)
2902
2903
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
2904
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
2905
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
2906
2907
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
2908
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
2909
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2910
2911
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
2912
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
2913
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
2914
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2915
2916
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
2917
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
2918
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
2919
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
2920
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
2921
2922
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
2923
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
2924
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
2925
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2926
2927
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
2928
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2929
2930
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
2931
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
2932
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
2933
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
2934
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
2935
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
2936
2937
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
2938
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
2939
2940
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
2941
help. (Robert Collins)
2942
2943
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
2944
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2945
2946
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
2947
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
2948
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
2949
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
2950
(John Arbash Meinel)
2951
2952
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
2953
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
2954
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
2955
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
2956
useful. (Robert Collins)
2957
2958
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
2959
(Andrew Bennetts)
2960
2961
BUGFIXES:
2962
2963
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
2964
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
2965
2966
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
2967
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
2968
2969
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
2970
properly and is no longer beneficial.
2971
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
2972
2973
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2974
(Aaron Bentley)
2975
2976
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2977
the file, and does it faster.
2978
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2979
2980
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2981
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2982
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2983
2984
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2985
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2986
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2987
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2988
2989
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2990
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2991
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2992
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2993
2994
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2995
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2996
2997
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2998
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2999
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
3000
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
3001
Arbash Meinel)
3002
3003
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
3004
3005
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
3006
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
3007
3008
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
3009
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
3010
3011
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
3012
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
3013
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
3014
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
3015
security hole.
3016
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3017
3018
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3019
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3020
3021
TESTING:
3022
3023
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3024
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3025
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3026
3027
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3028
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3029
3030
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3031
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3032
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3033
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3034
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3035
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3036
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3037
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3038
3039
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3040
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3041
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3042
3043
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3044
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3045
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
3046
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
3047
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3048
access.
3049
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3050
3051
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3052
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3053
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3054
3055
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3056
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
3075
3076
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
3077
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
3078
(Martin Pool)
3079
3080
IMPROVEMENTS:
3081
3082
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3083
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3084
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3085
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3086
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3087
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3088
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3089
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3090
path. (vila)
3091
3092
INTERNALS:
3093
3094
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3095
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3096
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3097
3098
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3099
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3100
(Martin Pool)
3101
3102
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3103
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3104
(John Arbash Meinel)
3105
3106
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3107
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3108
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3109
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3110
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3111
3112
BUGFIXES:
3113
3114
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3115
(vila, #92195)
3116
3117
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3118
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3119
3120
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3121
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3122
3123
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3124
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3125
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3126
3127
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3128
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3129
3130
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3131
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3132
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3133
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3134
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3135
3136
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3137
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3138
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3139

3144
-----------------------
3145
3146
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3147
3148
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3149
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3150
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3151
3152
IMPROVEMENTS:
3153
3154
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3155
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3156
3157
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3158
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3159
3160
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3161
3162
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3163
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3164
3165
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3166
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3167
3168
INTERNALS:
3169
3170
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3171
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
3172
3173
BUGFIXES:
3174
3175
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3176
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3177
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3178
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3179
3180
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3181
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3182
3183
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3184
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3185
3186
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3187
(Marien Zwart)
3188
3189
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

3193
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
3194
-----------------------
3195
3196
SURPRISES:
3197
3198
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
3199
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
3200
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
3201
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
3202
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
3203
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
3204
3205
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
3206
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
3207
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
3208
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
3209
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
3210
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
3211
development.
3212
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3213
3214
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
3215
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
3216
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
3217
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
3218
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
3219
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
3220
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
3221
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3222
3223
IMPROVEMENTS:
3224
3225
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3226
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3227
3228
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
3229
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
3230
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
3231
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
3232
does exist.
3233
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
3234
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
3235
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
3236
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
3237
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
3238
3239
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
3240
(Aaron Bentley)
3241
3242
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3243
(Aaron Bentley)
3244
3245
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3246
(Robert Collins)
3247
3248
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3249
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3250
(Aaron Bentley)
3251
3252
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3253
(Aaron Bentley)
3254
3255
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3256
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3257
3258
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3259
directory. (Martin Pool)
3260
3261
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3262
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3263
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3264
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3265
3266
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3267
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3268
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3269
in docs/configuration.txt.
3270
3271
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3272
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
3273
bind location.
3274
3275
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
3276
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
3277
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
3278
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
3279
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
3280
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3281
3282
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3283
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3284
3285
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3286
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3287
3288
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
3289
(Aaron Bentley)
3290
3291
INTERNALS:
3292
3293
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
3294
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
3295
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
3296
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
3297
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
3298
(John Arbash Meinel)
3299
3300
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
3301
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
3302
(Aaron Bentley)
3303
3304
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
3305
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
3306
(John Arbash Meinel)
3307
3308
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
3309
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
3310
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
3311
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
3312
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
3313
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
3314
3315
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
3316
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
3317
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
3318
3319
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
3320
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
3321
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
3322
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
3323
repository.
3324
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3325
3326
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
3327
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
3328
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
3329
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
3330
3331
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
3332
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
3333
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
3334
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
3335
3336
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
3337
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
3338
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
3339
3340
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
3341
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
3342
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
3343
3344
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
3345
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
3346
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
3347
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
3348
3349
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
3350
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
3351
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
3352
3353
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
3354
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
3355
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
3356
3357
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
3358
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
3359
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
3360
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
3361
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
3362
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
3363
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
3364
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
3365
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
3366

3367
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
3368
3369
BUGFIXES:
3370
3371
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
3372
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
3373
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
3374
3375
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
3376
(Aaron Bentley)
3377
3378
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
3379
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
3380
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
3381
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
3382
3383
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
3384
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
3385
#83954).
3386
3387
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
3388
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
3389
3390
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
3391
3392
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
3393
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
3394
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
3395
3396
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
3397
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
3398
3399
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
3400
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
3401
3402
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
3403
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
3404
3405
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
3406
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
3407
3408
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
3409
3410
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
3411
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
3412
3413
TESTING:
3414
3415
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
3416
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

3422
IMPROVEMENTS:
3423
3424
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
3425
3426
BUG FIXES:
3427
3428
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
3429
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
3430
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
3431
3432
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
3433
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
3434
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

3437
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
3438
-----------------------
3439
3440
IMPROVEMENTS:
3441
3442
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
3443
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
3444
server, then you can write over the http connection.
3445
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3446
3447
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
3448
(Marius Kruger)
3449
3450
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
3451
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
3452
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3453
3454
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
3455
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
3456
3457
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
3458
(Aaron Bentley)
3459
3460
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
3461
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
3462
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
3463
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
3464
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
3465
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
3466
3467
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
3468
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
3469
should enable you to do::
3470
3471
[/home/user/project]
3472
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
3473
push_location:policy = appendpath
3474
3475
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
3476
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
3477
(James Henstridge)
3478
3479
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
3480
for each file. For example::
3481
3482
$ bzr status --short
3483
A foo
3484
A bar
3485
D baz
3486
? wooley
3487
3488
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
3489
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
3490
3491
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
3492
3493
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
3494
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
3495
3496
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
3497
3498
INTERNALS:
3499
3500
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
3501
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
3502
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
3503
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
3504
3505
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
3506
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
3507
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
3508
3509
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3510
3511
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
3512
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
3513
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
3514
(Alexander Belchenko)
3515
3516
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
3517
Pool)
3518
3519
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
3520
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
3521
3522
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
3523
3524
BUG FIXES:
3525
3526
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
3527
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
3528
3529
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
3530
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
3531
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
3532
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
3533
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
3534
3535
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
3536
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
3537
3538
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
3539
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
3540
3541
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
3542
matcher.
3543
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
3544
3545
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
3546
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
3547
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
3548
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
3549
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
3550
3551
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
3552
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
3553
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
3554
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
3555
3556
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
3557
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
3558
3559
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
3560
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
3561
3562
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
3563
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
3578
3579
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
3580
tree from a branch.
3581
(Daniel Silverstone)
3582
3583
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
3584
operations are substantially faster.
3585
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
3586
3587
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
3588
tree from some other url. For example:
3589
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
3590
(Daniel Silverstone)
3591
3592
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
3593
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
3594
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
3595
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
3596
3597
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
3598
(Andrew Bennetts)
3599
3600
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
3601
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
3602
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
3603
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
3604
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
3605
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
3606
3607
INTERNALS:
3608
3609
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
3610
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
3611
(Martin Pool)
3612
3613
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3614
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3615
(John Arbash Meinel)
3616
3617
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
3618
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
3619
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
3620
(John Arbash Meinel)
3621
3622
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
3623
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3624
3625
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3626
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3627
3628
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3629
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3630
Bennetts)
3631
3632
BUG FIXES:
3633
3634
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
3635
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
3636
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
3637
3638
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
3639
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
3640
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
3641
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
3642
3643
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3644
3645
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3646
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3647
3648
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3649
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3650
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
3651
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3652
3653
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3654
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3655
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3656
3657
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3658
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3659
them as full references rather than integers.
3660
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3661
3662
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3663
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3664
3665
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3666
3667
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3668
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3669
3670
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3671
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3672
3673
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3674
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3675
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3676
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3677
3678
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3679
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3680
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3681
3682
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3683
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3684
3685
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3686
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3687
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3688
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.

3693
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3694
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
3697
--------------------
3698
3699
INTERNALS:
3700
3701
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3702
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3703
(John Arbash Meinel)

3705
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
3706
-----------------------
3707
3708
IMPROVEMENTS:
3709
3710
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3711
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3712
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3713
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3714
3715
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3716
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3717
3718
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3719
3720
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3721
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3722
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3723
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3724
3725
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3726
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3727
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3728
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3729
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3730
3731
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3732
3733
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3734
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3735
3736
INTERNALS:
3737
3738
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3739
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3740
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3741
3742
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3743
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3744
(John Arbash Meinel)
3745
3746
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3747
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3748
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3749
3750
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3751
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3752
(Aaron Bentley)
3753
3754
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3755
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3756
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3757
3758
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3759
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3760
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3761
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3762
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3763
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3764
3765
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3766
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3767
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3768
(Robert Collins)
3769
3770
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3771
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3772
3773
BUG FIXES:
3774
3775
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3776
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3777
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3778
#63360, #66349)
3779
3780
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3781
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3782
3783
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3784
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3785
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3786
3787
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3788
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3789
3790
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3791
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3792
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3793
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3794
3795
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3796
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3797
3798
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3799
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3800
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3801
3802
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3803
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3804
3805
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3806
3807
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3808
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3809
#32054)
3810
3811
TESTING:
3812
3813
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3814
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3815
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3816
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3817
3818
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3819
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3820
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3821
3822
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

--------------------
3824
3825
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).

3828
-----------------------
3829
3830
BUG FIXES:
3831
3832
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
3833
3834
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
3835
Arbash Meinel).
3836
3837
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
3838
-----------------------
3839
3840
IMPROVEMENTS:
3841
3842
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3843
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3844
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3845
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3846
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3847
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3848
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3849
3850
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3851
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3852
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3853
3854
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3855
3856
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3857
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3858
3859
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3860
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3861
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3862
(Robert Collins)
3863
3864
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3865
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3866
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3867
(John Arbash Meinel)
3868
3869
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3870
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3871
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3872
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3873
Pool)
3874
3875
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3876
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3877
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
3878
(John Arbash Meinel)
3879
3880
BUG FIXES:
3881
3882
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
3883
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
3884
3885
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3886
3887
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3888
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3889
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
3890
3891
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3892
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
3893
3894
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3895
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3896
3897
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3898
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3899
3900
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
3901
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
3902
3903
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3904
3905
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3906
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3907
3908
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3909
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3910
3911
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3912
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3913
3914
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3915
(John Arbash Meinel)
3916
3917
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3918
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3919
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3920
3921
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3922
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3923
3924
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3925
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3926
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3927
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3928
3929
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3930
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3931
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
3932
3933
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
3934
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
3935
3936
PORTABILITY:
3937
3938
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3939
3940
INTERNALS:
3941
3942
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3943
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3944
(John Arbash Meinel)
3945
3946
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3947
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3948
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3949
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3950
3951
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3952
(Andrew Bennetts)
3953
3954
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3955
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3956
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3957
3958
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3959
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3960
3961
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3962
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3963
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3964
3965
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3966
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3967
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3968
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3969
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3970
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3971
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3972
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3973
caller to repeat their request.
3974
(John Arbash Meinel)
3975
3976
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3977
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3978
3979
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3980
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3981
3982
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3983
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3984
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3985
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3986
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3987
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3988
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3989
3990
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3991
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3992
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3993
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3994
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3995
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3996
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3997
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3998
(Robert Collins)
3999
4000
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
4001
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
4002
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
4003
4004
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
4005
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
4006
4007
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
4008
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
4009
4010
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
4011
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4012
4013
TESTING:
4014
4015
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
4016
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
4017
4018
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
4019
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
4020
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4021
4022
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
4023
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
4024
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4025
4026
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
4027
--------------------
4028
4029
IMPROVEMENTS:
4030
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
4031
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4032
4033
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
4034
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
4035
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
4036
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
4037
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
4038
4039
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
4040
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
4041
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
4042
4043
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
4044
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
4045
4046
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
4047
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
4048
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4049
4050
BUG FIXES:
4051
4052
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
4053
4054
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
4055
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
4056
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
4057
4058
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
4059
4060
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
4061
4062
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
4063
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
4064
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
4065
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
4066
4067
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
4068
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
4069
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
4070
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
4071
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
4072
4073
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
4074
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
4075
4076
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
4077
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
4078
4079
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
4080
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
4081
4082
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
4083
in handling of revision properties.
4084
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
4085
4086
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
4087
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
4088
4089
INTERNALS:
4090
4091
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
4092
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
4093
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
4094
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
4095
(John Arbash Meinel)
4096
4097
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
4098
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
4099
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4100
4101
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4102
---------------------
4103
4104
SURPRISES:
4105
4106
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
4107
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
4108
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
4109
specific one '.bzrignore'.
4110
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
4111
a more conservative list than the old default.
4112
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
4113
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
4114
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
4115
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
4116
4117
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4118
to more locations than just branch locations.
4119
(Aaron Bentley)
4120
4121
IMPROVEMENTS:
4122
4123
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
4124
revno:N:branch. For example,
4125
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
4126
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4127
4128
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
4129
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
4130
the path of a file that has been versioned.
4131
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
4132
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
4133
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
4134
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
4135
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
4136
#42517, #42514)
4137
4138
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
4139
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
4140
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
4141
(Malone #3507)
4142
4143
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
4144
(Alexander Belchenko)
4145
4146
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
4147
4148
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
4149
(Robert Collins).
4150
4151
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
4152
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
4153
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
4154
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
4155
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
4156
(John Arbash Meinel)
4157
4158
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
4159
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
4160
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
4161
grained analysis of performance.
4162
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4163
4164
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
4165
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
4166
4167
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
4168
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
4169
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
4170
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
4171
file. (Robert Collins).
4172
4173
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
4174
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
4175
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
4176
4177
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
4178
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
4179
Matthieu Moy)
4180
4181
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
4182
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
4183
4184
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
4185
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
4186
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
4187
the same way you would apply another branch.
4188
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4189
4190
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
4191
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
4192
4193
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
4194
(Michael Ellerman)
4195
4196
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
4197
(Aaron Bentley)
4198
4199
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
4200
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
4201
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
4202
4203
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
4204
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
4205
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
4206
4207
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
4208
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
4209
4210
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
4211
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
4212
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
4213
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
4214
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
4215
4216
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
4217
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
4218
4219
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
4220
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
4221
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
4222
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
4223
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
4224
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
4225
branch is as much as 4x faster.
4226
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
4227
4228
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
4229
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
4230
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
4231
4232
BUG FIXES:
4233
4234
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4235
tests not to run.
4236
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4237
4238
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4239
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4240
4241
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4242
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4243
4244
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4245
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4246
4247
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4248
4249
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4250
(John Arbash Meinel)
4251
4252
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4253
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4254
4255
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4256
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4257
and y.
4258
4259
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4260
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4261
4262
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4263
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4264
4265
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4266
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4267
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4268
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4269
4270
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4271
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4272
4273
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4274
4275
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4276
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4277
4278
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4279
4280
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4281
4282
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4283
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4284
4285
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4286
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4287
4288
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4289
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4290
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4291
4292
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4293
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4294
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4295
4296
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4297
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4298
4299
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4300
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4301
4302
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4303
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4304
4305
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4306
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4307
4308
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4309
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
4310
4311
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
4312
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
4313
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
4314
4315
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
4316
4317
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
4318
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
4319
4320
INTERNALS:
4321
4322
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
4323
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
4324
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
4325
4326
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
4327
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
4328
4329
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
4330
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
4331
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4332
4333
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
4334
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4335
4336
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
4337
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
4338
(Martin Pool)
4339
4340
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
4341
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
4342
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4343
4344
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
4345
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
4346
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4347
4348
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
4349
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
4350
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
4351
4352
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
4353
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
4354
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
4355
4356
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
4357
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
4358
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
4359
4360
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
4361
instead. (Robert Collins)
4362
4363
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
4378
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
4379
4380
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
4381
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4382
4383
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
4384
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

CHANGES:
4397
4398
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
4399
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
4400
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
4401
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
4402
4403
NEW FEATURES:
4404
4405
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
4406
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.

INTERNALS:
4410
4411
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which

provides a human description of the changes between two old and
4413
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4414
4415
TESTING:
4416
4417
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
4418
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)

4420
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
4421
-------------------
4422
4423
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4424
4425
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
4426
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
4427
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
4428
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
4429
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
4430
will keep the same format.
4431
4432
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
4433
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
4434
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
4435
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
4436
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
4437
4438
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
4439
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
4440
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
4441
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
4442
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
4443
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
4444
indicating the current revision of the branch.
4445
4446
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
4447
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
4448
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
4449
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
4450
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
4451
4452
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
4453
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
4454
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
4455
arrangement.
4456
4457
4458
IMPROVEMENTS:
4459
4460
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
4461
convention. Paths now take the form::
4462
4463
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
4464
or
4465
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
4466
4467
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
4468
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
4469
4470
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
4471
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
4472
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
4473
4474
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
4475
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
4476
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
4477
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
4478
4479
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
4480
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
4481
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
4482
4483
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
4484
4485
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
4486
4487
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
4488
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
4489
commits::
4490
4491
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
4492
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
4493
| xargs bzr re-sign
4494
4495
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
4496
4497
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
4498
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
4499
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
4500
(Robert Collins)
4501
4502
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
4503
4504
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
4505
4506
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
4507
'.moved'.
4508
4509
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
4510
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
4511
4512
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
4513
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
4514
Daniel Silverstone)
4515
4516
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
4517
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
4518
Martin Pool)
4519
4520
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
4521
4522
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
4523
4524
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
4525
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
4526
4527
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
4528
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
4529
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
4530
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
4531
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
4532
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
4533
4534
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
4535
4536
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
4537
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
4538
(Robert Collins)
4539
4540
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
4541
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
4542
4543
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
4544
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
4545
4546
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
4547
4548
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
4549
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
4550
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
4551
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
4552
specification by Martin Pool.
4553
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
4554
4555
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
4556
Belchenko)
4557
4558
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
4559
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4560
4561
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
4562
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
4563
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
4564
4565
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
4566
4567
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
4568
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
4569
(Robert Collins)
4570
4571
CHANGES:
4572
4573
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
4574
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4575
4576
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
4577
4578
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
4579
4580
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
4581
(Olaf Conradi)
4582
4583
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
4584
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
4585
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
4586
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
4587
4588
INTERNALS:
4589
4590
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
4591
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
4592
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
4593
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4594
4595
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
4596
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
4597
tried. (Martin Pool)
4598
4599
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
4600
(Martin Pool)
4601
4602
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
4603
4604
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
4605
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
4606
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
4607
4608
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
4609
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
4610
4611
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
4612
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
4613
paths. (Robert Collins)
4614
4615
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
4616
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
4617
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
4618
4619
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
4620
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
4621
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
4622
4623
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4624
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4625
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4626
4627
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4628
(Olaf Conradi)
4629
4630
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4631
(Olaf Conradi)
4632
4633
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4634
4635
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4636
4637
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
4638
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
4639
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
4640
(Robert Collins)
4641
4642
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4643
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4644
4645
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
4646
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
4647
check. (Robert Collins)
4648
4649
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4650
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4651
4652
TESTING:
4653
4654
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4655
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4656
4657
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4658
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4659
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4660
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4661
4662
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4663
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4664
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4665
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4666
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4667
4668
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4669
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4670
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4671
4672
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4673
4674
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4675
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
4676
4677
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
4678
------------------
4679
4680
CHANGES:
4681
4682
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4683
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4684
4685
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4686
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4687
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4688
(Johan Rydberg)
4689
4690
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4691
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4692
4693
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4694
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4695
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4696
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4697
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4698
4699
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4700
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4701
used. (Robert Collins)
4702
4703
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4704
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4705
(James Henstridge)
4706
4707
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4708
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4709
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4710
4711
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4712
ignore list.
4713
4714
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4715
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4716
4717
IMPROVEMENTS:
4718
4719
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4720
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4721
4722
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4723
4724
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4725
4726
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4727
tree. (Robert Collins)
4728
4729
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4730
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4731
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4732
(Robert Collins)
4733
4734
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4735
that they be kept.
4736
4737
* Tweaks to short log printing
4738
4739
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4740
(Aaron Bentley)
4741
4742
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4743
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4744
4745
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4746
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4747
4748
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4749
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4750
4751
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
4752
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4753
settings. (Magnus Therning)
4754
4755
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
4756
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4757
4758
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4759
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4760
requests.
4761
4762
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4763
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4764
4765
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
4766
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
4767
4768
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
4769
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
4770
4771
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
4772
(Denys Duchier)
4773
4774
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
4775
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4776
4777
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4778
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4779
4780
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4781
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4782
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
4783
4784
BUG FIXES:
4785
4786
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
4787
4788
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4789
4790
* Error when run with -OO
4791
4792
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
4793
(Martin Pool)
4794
4795
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4796
4797
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4798
4799
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4800
ignored by diff and status
4801
4802
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4803
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
4804
4805
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
4806
4807
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4808
4809
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4810
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4811
4812
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4813
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4814
4815
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4816
(Harald Meland)
4817
4818
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4819
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4820
4821
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4822
4823
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4824
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4825
4826
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4827
(Martin Pool)
4828
4829
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4830
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4831
4832
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4833
4834
TESTING:
4835
4836
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4837
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4838
4839
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4840
4841
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4842
4843
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4844
4845
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4846
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4847
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4848
4849
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4850
4851
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4852
(John Arbash Meinel)
4853
4854
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4855
4856
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4857
If adding a new test script please add that to
4858
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4859
4860
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4861
imported. (Martin Pool)
4862
4863
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4864
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4865
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4866
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4867
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4868
(Robert Collins)
4869
4870
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4871
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4872
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4873
4874
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4875
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4876
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4877
4878
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4879
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4880
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4881
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4882
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4883
(Robert Collins).
4884
4885
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4886
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4887
(Robert Collins).
4888
4889
INTERNALS:
4890
4891
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4892
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4893
4894
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4895
function. (Robert Collins)
4896
4897
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4898
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4899
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4900
4901
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4902
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4903
(Robert Collins)
4904
4905
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4906
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4907
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4908
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4909
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4910
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4911
version. (Robert Collins)
4912
4913
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4914
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4915
4916
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4917
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4918
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4919
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4920
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4921
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4922
4923
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4924
(Robert Collins)
4925
4926
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4927
4928
add()
4929
commit()
4930
move()
4931
rename_one()
4932
unknowns()
4933
4934
(Robert Collins)
4935
4936
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4937
4938
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4939
4940
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4941
Pool)
4942
4943
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4944
query method. (Robert Collins)
4945
4946
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4947
(Denys Duchier)
4948
4949
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4950
(Michael Ellerman)
4951
4952
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4953
(Michael Ellerman)
4954
4955
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4956
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4957
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4958
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4959
4960
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4961
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4962
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4963
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4964
4965
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4966
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
4967
4968
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
4969
------------------
4970
4971
IMPROVEMENTS:
4972
4973
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4974
(John A Meinel)
4975
4976
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4977
conflicts.
4978
(Aaron Bentley)
4979
4980
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4981
a separator, not ':'.
4982
(Aaron Bentley)
4983
4984
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4985
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4986
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4987
4988
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4989
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4990
(Robert Collins)
4991
4992
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4993
has been added that suppresses all output.
4994
4995
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4996
Adams.
4997
4998
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4999
Goffredo Baroncelli.
5000
5001
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
5002
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
5003
5004
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
5005
a revision. (Robert Collins)
5006
5007
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
5008
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
5009
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
5010
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
5011
5012
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
5013
5014
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
5015
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
5016
5017
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
5018
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
5019
5020
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
5021
output directory, if one was supplied.
5022
5023
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
5024
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
5025
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
5026
parameters. (Robert Collins)
5027
5028
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
5029
5030
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
5031
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
5032
5033
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
5034
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
5035
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
5036
5037
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
5038
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
5039
5040
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
5041
(Aaron Bentley)
5042
5043
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
5044
5045
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
5046
5047
TESTING:
5048
5049
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
5050
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
5051
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
5052
5053
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
5054
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
5055
related questions. (Robert Collins)
5056
5057
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
5058
is given. (Martin Pool)
5059
5060
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
5061
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
5062
file. (Robert Collins)
5063
5064
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
5065
(Martin Pool)
5066
5067
INTERNALS:
5068
5069
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
5070
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
5071
representation. (Martin Pool).
5072
5073
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
5074
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
5075
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
5076
5077
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5078
(Robert Collins)
5079
5080
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
5081
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
5082
Magnus Therning.
5083
5084
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5085
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
5086
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5087
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5088
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5089
5090
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5091
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5092
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5093
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5094
python path. (Robert Collins)
5095
5096
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5097
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5098
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5099
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5100
5101
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5102
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5103
5104
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5105
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5106
(Robert Collins)
5107
5108
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5109
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5110
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5111
5112
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5113
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5114
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5115
5116
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5117
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5118
5119
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5120
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5121
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5122
(Robert Collins)
5123
5124
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5125
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5126
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5127
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5128
(Robert Collins)
5129
5130
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5131
(Robert Collins)
5132
5133
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5134
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5135
(Robert Collins)
5136
5137
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
5138
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
5139
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
5140
5141
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
5142
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
5143
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
5144
5145
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
5146
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
5147
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
5148
5149
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5150
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5151
5152
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
5153
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
5154
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
5155
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
5156
caller. (Robert Collins)
5157
5158
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
5159
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
5160
(Robert Collins).
5161
5162
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
5163
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
5164
(Aaron Bentley)
5165
5166
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
5167
5168
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
5169
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
5170
5171
BUG FIXES:
5172
5173
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
5174
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
5175
5176
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
5177
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
5178
5179
5180
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
5181
--------------------
5182
5183
BUG FIXES:
5184
5185
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
5186
allow directories to be listed.
5187
5188
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
5189
upgrading branch format.
5190
5191
PERFORMANCE:
5192
5193
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
5194
5195
5196
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
5197
------------------
5198
5199
NOTES:
5200
5201
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
5202
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
5203
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
5204
high-latency connections.
5205
5206
BUG FIXES:
5207
5208
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
5209
Rob Weir.
5210
5211
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
5212
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
5213
5214
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
5215
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
5216
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
5217
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5218
5219
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5220
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5221
5222
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5223
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5224
5225
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
5226
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
5227
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5228
5229
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
5230
for files with only a change to their executable status.
5231
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
5232
Robert Collins
5233
5234
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5235
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5236
5237
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5238
different partial views of history.
5239
5240
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5241
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5242
5243
IMPROVEMENTS:
5244
5245
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5246
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5247
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5248
5249
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5250
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5251
'bzr upgrade'.
5252
5253
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5254
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5255
5256
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5257
Niemeyer.
5258
5259
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5260
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5261
5262
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5263
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5264
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5265
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5266
5267
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5268
5269
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5270
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5271
Gustavo Niemeyer.
5272
5273
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5274
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5275
5276
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5277
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5278
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5279
5280
5281
INTERNALS:
5282
5283
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5284
for your viewing pleasure.
5285
5286
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5287
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5288
5289
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5290
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5291
handling of such circumstances.
5292
5293
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
5294
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
5295
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
5296
5297
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5298
5299
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5300
we call them revisions not patches.
5301
5302
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5303
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5304
5305
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
5306
giving the revision *of that file*.
5307
5308
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
5309
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
5310
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
5311
5312
TESTING:
5313
5314
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
5315
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
5316
5317
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
5318
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
5319
5320
5321
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
5322
--------------------
5323
5324
BUG FIXES:
5325
5326
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
5327
5328
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
5329
(Robert Collins).
5330
5331
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
5332
5333
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
5334
5335
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
5336
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5337
5338
IMPROVEMENTS:
5339
5340
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
5341
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
5342
5343
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
5344
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
5345
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
5346
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
5347
Robey Pointer
5348
5349
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
5350
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5351
5352
INTERNALS:
5353
5354
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
5355
5356
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
5357
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
5358
5359
5360
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
5361
--------------------
5362
5363
IMPROVEMENTS:
5364
5365
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
5366
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
5367
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
5368
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
5369
Michael Ellerman.
5370
5371
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
5372
(Nir Soffer)
5373
5374
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
5375
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
5376
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
5377
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
5378
for the operating system is still tried.
5379
5380
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
5381
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
5382
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
5383
5384
5385
INTERNALS:
5386
5387
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
5388
5389
BUG FIXES:
5390
5391
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
5392
5393
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
5394
branch.
5395
5396
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
5397
read.
5398
5399
5400
PORTABILITY:
5401
5402
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
5403
5404
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
5405
5406
5407
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
5408
--------------------
5409
5410
NEW FEATURES:
5411
5412
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
5413
help with intelligent shell completion.
5414
5415
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
5416
5417
5418
ENHANCEMENTS:
5419
5420
* Much better merge support.
5421
5422
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
5423
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
5424
like emacs smerge.
5425
5426
5427
BUG FIXES:
5428
5429
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
5430
mention revisions that are not present.
5431
5432
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
5433
5434
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
5435
5436
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
5437
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
5438
5439
5440
CHANGES:
5441
5442
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
5443
5444
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
5445
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
5446
--help themselves.
5447
5448
5449
LIBRARY:
5450
5451
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
5452
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
5453
libraries.
5454
5455
5456
5457
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
5458
--------------------
5459
5460
NEW FEATURES:
5461
5462
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
5463
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
5464
5465
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
5466
5467
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
5468
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
5469
5470
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
5471
FOO.
5472
5473
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
5474
5475
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
5476
the Unix command.
5477
5478
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
5479
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
5480
5481
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
5482
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
5483
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
5484
5485
5486
ENHANCEMENTS:
5487
5488
* Faster working tree operations.
5489
5490
5491
CHANGES:
5492
5493
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
5494
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
5495
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
5496
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
5497
5498
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
5499
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
5500
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
5501
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
5502
standard plugins directory.
5503
5504
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
5505
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
5506
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
5507
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
5508
5509
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
5510
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
5511
5512
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
5513
disk.
5514
5515
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
5516
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
5517
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
5518
5519
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
5520
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
5521
5522
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
5523
line options must come before the command name because they
5524
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
5525
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
5526
it.
5527
5528
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
5529
5530
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
5531
is available with ``--short``.
5532
5533
5534
BUG FIXES:
5535
5536
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
5537
5538
5539
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
5540
---------------------
5541
5542
CHANGES:
5543
5544
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
5545
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5546
5547
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
5548
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
5549
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
5550
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
5551
5552
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
5553
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
5554
with the ``--forward`` option.
5555
5556
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
5557
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
5558
field.
5559
5560
5561
ENHANCEMENTS:
5562
5563
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
5564
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
5565
5566
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
5567
5568
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
5569
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.

5577
5578

5581
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
5582

5584
suggested by LarstiQ.
5585
5586

5588
5589
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
5590

5591
5592
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
5593
in a directory on $BZRPATH.

haven't changed since the previous time.
5597
5598

BUG FIXES:
5619
5620
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
5621
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
5622
5623
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
5624
metacharacters.
5625
5626
5627
TESTING:
5628
5629
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
5630
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
5631
the tests.
5632
5633
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
5634
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
5635
5636
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
5637
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
5638
5639
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
5640
under a different version.
5641
5642
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
5643
5644

5650
Scott James Remnant.
5651
5652
* Better help messages for many commands.
5653
5654
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
5655
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
5656
5657
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
5658
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
5659
5660
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
5661
5662

5667
5668

5676
---------------------
5677
5678
ENHANCEMENTS:
5679
5680
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
5681
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
5682
5683
* More default ignore patterns.
5684
5685
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
5686
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
5687
5688
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
5689
5690
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
5691
by Jason Diamon.
5692
5693
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
5694
5695
5696
CHANGES:
5697
5698
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
5699
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
5700
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
5701
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
5702
there are DNS problems.
5703
5704
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
5705
5706
5707

5710
5711

5714
trailing newlines properly.
5715
5716
5717
INTERNAL:
5718
5719
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
5720
Matt Brubeck.
5721
5722
* More tests in test.sh.
5723
5724
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
5725
directory and delete it when done.
5726
5727
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
5728
5729
5730
PORTABILITY:
5731
5732
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
5733
Bennetts.
5734
5735
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
5736
from QuantumG.

5759
CHANGES:
5760
5761
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
5762
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
5763
will do for now.)
5764
5765
PORTABILITY:
5766
5767
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
5768
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
5769
Nielsen.

5801
5802
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
5803
branch.
5804
5805
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
5806
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
5807
5808
* Performance improvements.
5809
5810
* New global --profile option.
5811
5812

5840
supported).
