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
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
28
(Aaron Bentley)
29
30
BUGFIXES:
31
32
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
33
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
34
35
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
36
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
37
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
38
39
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
40
(Andreas Deininger)
41
42
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
43
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
44
45
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
46
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
47
48
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
49
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
50
51
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
52
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
53
54
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
55
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
56
57
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
58
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
59
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
60
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
61
62
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
63
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
64
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
65
66
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
67
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
68
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
69
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
70
every revision each side had in common.
71
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
72
73
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
74
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
75
76
DOCUMENTATION:
77
78
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
79
80
TESTING:
81
82
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
83
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
84
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
85
86
INTERNALS:
87
88
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
89
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
90
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
91
92
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
93
94
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
95
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
96
97
API BREAKS:
98
99
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
100
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
101
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
102
(Aaron Bentley)
103
104
105
bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
106
---------------------
107
108
BUG FIXES:
109
110
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
111
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
112
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
113
114
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
115
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
116
117
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
118
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
119
120
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
121
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
122
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
123
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
124
every revision each side had in common.
125
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
126
127
128
bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
129
---------------------
130
131
132
133
bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
134
---------------------
135
136
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
137
138
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
139
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
140
141
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
142
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
143
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
144
145
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
146
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
147
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
148
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
149
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
150
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
151
Andrew Cowie)
152
153
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
154
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
155
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
156
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
157
158
FEATURES:
159
160
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
161
162
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
163
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
164
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
165
166
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
167
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
168
See the User Reference for signature details.
169
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
170
171
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
172
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
173
174
IMPROVEMENTS:
175
176
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
177
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
178
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
179
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
180
181
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
182
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
183
184
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
185
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
186
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
187
Wouter van Heyst)
188
189
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
190
(Chad Miller)
191
192
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
193
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
194
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
195
196
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
197
(Aaron Bentley)
198
199
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
200
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
201
202
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
203
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
204
205
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
206
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
207
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
208
209
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
210
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
211
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
212
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
213
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
214
215
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
216
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
217
218
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
219
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
220
221
BUGFIXES:
222
223
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
224
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
225
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
226
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
227
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
228
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
229
230
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
231
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
232
233
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
234
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
235
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
236
237
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
238
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
239
240
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
241
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
242
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
243
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
244
245
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
246
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
247
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
248
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
249
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
250
251
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
252
253
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
254
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
255
256
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
257
258
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
259
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
260
261
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
262
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
263
264
DOCUMENTATION:
265
266
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
267
268
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
269
270
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
271
272
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
273
274
API BREAKS:
275
276
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
277
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
278
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
279
280
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
281
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
282
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
283
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
284
285
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
286
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
287
release. (James Westby)
288
289
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
290
(Andrew Bennetts)
291
292
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
293
294
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
295
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
296
297
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
298
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
299
300
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
301
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
302
303
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
304
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
305
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
306
307
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
308
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
309
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
310
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
311
312
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
313
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
314
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
315
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
316
317
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
318
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
319
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
320
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
321
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
322
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
323
324
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
325
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
326
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
327
328
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
329
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
330
331
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
332
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
333
(Robert Collins)
334
335
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
336
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
337
338
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
339
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
340
341
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
342
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
343
344
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
345
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
346
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
347
348
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
349
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
350
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
351
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
352
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
353
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
354
355
TESTING:
356
357
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
358
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
359
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
360
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
361
362
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
363
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
364
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
365
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
366
implement this).
367
(Vincent Ladeuil)
368
369
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
370
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
371
(Vincent Ladeuil)
372
373
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
374
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
375
376
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
377
378
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
379
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
380
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
381
382
INTERNALS:
383
384
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
385
386
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
387
(Martin Albisetti)
388
389
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
390
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
391
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
392
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
393
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
394
(Martin Pool, #109520)
395
396
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
397
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
398
399
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
400
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
401
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
402
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
403
404
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
405
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
406
407
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
408
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)
409
410
411
bzr 1.3 2008-03-20
412
------------------
413
414
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
415
416
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
417
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
418
features have been added.
419
420
TESTING:
421
422
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
423
directory names.
424
(#202778, Martin Pool)
425
426
427
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-03-16
428
---------------------
429
430
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
431
432
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
433
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
434
435
CHANGES:
436
437
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
438
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
439
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
440
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
441
(Robert Collins)
442
443
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
444
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
445
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
446
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
447
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
448
(Alexander Belchenko)
449
450
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
451
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
452
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
453
(Alexander Belchenko)
454
455
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
456
457
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
458
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
459
460
FEATURES:
461
462
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
463
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
464
465
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
466
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
467
(Jelmer Vernooij)
468
469
IMPROVEMENTS:
470
471
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
472
473
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
474
475
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
476
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
477
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
478
479
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
480
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
481
482
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
483
to. (Daniel Watkins)
484
485
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
486
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
487
(Alexander Belchenko)
488
489
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
490
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
491
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
492
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
493
494
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
495
(Daniel Watkins)
496
497
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
498
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
499
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
500
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
501
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
502
503
BUGFIXES:
504
505
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
506
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
507
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
508
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
509
510
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
511
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
512
513
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
514
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
515
516
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
517
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
518
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
519
520
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
521
(#198793, John Ferlito)
522
523
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
524
#196618)
525
526
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
527
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
528
529
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
530
531
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
532
533
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
534
symlinks (James Henstridge)
535
536
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
537
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
538
539
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
540
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
541
542
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
543
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
544
545
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
546
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
547
548
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
549
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
550
551
DOCUMENTATION:
552
553
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
554
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
555
556
API BREAKS:
557
558
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
559
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
560
(Alexander Belchenko)
561
562
TESTING:
563
564
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
565
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
566
(Robert Collins)
567
568
INTERNALS:
569
570
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
571
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
572
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
573
574
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
575
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
576
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
577
(Alexander Belchenko)
578
579
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
580
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
581
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
582
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
583
584
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
585
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
586
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
587
(Robert Collins)
588
589
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
590
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
591
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
592
593
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
594
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
595
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
596
597
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
598
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
599
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
600
format. (Robert Collins)

BUG FIXES:
607
608
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)

---------------------
613
614
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
615
616
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
617
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
618
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
619
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
620
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
621
(Andrew Bennetts)
622
623
CHANGES:
624
625
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
626
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
627
628
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
629
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
630
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
631
632
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
633
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
634
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
635
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
636
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
637
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
638
(Aaron Bentley)
639
640
FEATURES:
641
642
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
643
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
644
645
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
646
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
647
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
648
(Robert Collins)
649
650
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
651
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
652
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
653
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
654
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
655
656
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
657
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
658
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
659
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
660
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
661
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
662
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
663
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
664
665
IMPROVEMENTS:
666
667
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
668
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
669
670
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
671
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
672
673
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
674
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
675
676
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
677
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
678
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
679
680
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
681
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
682
(John Arbash Meinel)
683
684
BUGFIXES:
685
686
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
687
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
688
689
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
690
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
691
692
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
693
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
694
695
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
696
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
697
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
698
699
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
700
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
701
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
702
703
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
704
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
705
706
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
707
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
708
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
709
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
710
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
711
unittest runner.
712
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
713
714
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
715
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
716
#185907)
717
718
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
719
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
720
721
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
722
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
723
724
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
725
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
726
727
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
728
more characters which should be considered valid.
729
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
730
731
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
732
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
733
734
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
735
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
736
737
API BREAKS:
738
739
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
740
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
741
742
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
743
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
744
(Martin Pool)
745
746
TESTING:
747
748
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
749
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
750
(Vincent Ladeuil)
751
752
INTERNALS:
753
754
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
755
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
756
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
757
758
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
759
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
760
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
761
762
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
763
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
764
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
765
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
766
767
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
768
769
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
770
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
771
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
772
server. (Robert Collins)
773
774
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
775
operate. (Robert Collins)
776
777
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
778
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
779
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
780
781
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
782
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
783
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
784
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
785
786
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
787
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
788
789
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
790
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
791
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
792
793
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
794
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
795
796
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
797
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
798
799
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
800
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
801
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
802
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

809
810
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
811
---------------------
812
813
CHANGES:
814
815
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
816
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
817
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
818
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
819
820
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
821
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
822
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
823
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
824
825
FEATURES:
826
827
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
828
(Lukáš Lalinský)
829
830
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
831
(Aaron Bentley)
832
833
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
834
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
835
836
IMPROVEMENTS:
837
838
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
839
#90049)
840
841
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
842
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
843
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
844
845
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
846
847
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
848
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
849
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
850
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
851
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
852
853
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
854
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
855
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
856
857
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
858
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
859
860
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
861
(Vincent Ladeuil)
862
863
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
864
865
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
866
867
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
868
(Aaron Bentley)
869
870
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
871
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
872
873
BUGFIXES:
874
875
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
876
(Martin Pool, #180208)
877
878
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
879
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
880
881
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
882
(Aaron Bentley)
883
884
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
885
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
886
887
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
888
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
889
890
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
891
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
892
893
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
894
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
895
896
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
897
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
898
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
899
900
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
901
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
902
903
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
904
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
905
(Aaron Bentley)
906
907
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
908
909
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
910
user:pass embedded in the urls.
911
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
912
913
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
914
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
915
916
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
917
(Aaron Bentley)
918
919
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
920
#148087)
921
922
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
923
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
924
925
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
926
#137681)
927
928
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
929
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
930
(Aaron Bentley)
931
932
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
933
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
934
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
935
936
DOCUMENTATION:
937
938
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
939
(Ian Clatworthy)
940
941
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
942

943
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
944

BUGFIXES:
1041
1042
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
1043
1044
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
1045
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
1046
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
1047
feedback but also incur more latency.

1077
1078
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
1079
Nordhoff, #172612)
1080
1081
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1082
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1083
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
1084
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1085
1086
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
1087
(Kent Gibson)
1088
1089
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1090
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1091
1092
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1093
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1094
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1095
1096
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1097
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1098
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1099
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1100
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1101
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1102
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1103
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1104
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)

1119
filename to user.
1120
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1121
1122
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1123
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1124
required.
1125
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
1126
1127
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1128
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
1129
1130
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
1131
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
1132
1133

bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
1140
---------------------
1141
1142
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1143
1144
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1145
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1146
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1147
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1148
1149
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1150
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1151
1152
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1153
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1154
1155
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1156
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1157
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1158
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1159
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1160
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1161
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1162
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1163
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1164
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1165
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1166
from any tree without problems.
1167
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
1168
1169
CHANGES:
1170
1171
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1172
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1173
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1174
1175
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
1176
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
1177
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
1178
(Martin Pool)
1179
1180
FEATURES:
1181
1182
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
1183
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
1184
supported transports.
1185
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1186
1187
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
1188
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
1189
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
1190
1191
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1192
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1193
1194
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
1195
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
1196
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
1197
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
1198
1199
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
1200
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
1201
1202
PERFORMANCE:
1203
1204
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
1205
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
1206
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
1207
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1208
1209
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
1210
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
1211
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
1212
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
1213
1214
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
1215
(Robert Collins, #88319)
1216
1217
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
1218
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
1219
1220
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1221
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1222
1223
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1224
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1225
(Aaron Bentley)
1226
1227
IMPROVEMENTS:
1228
1229
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1230
(Aaron Bentley)
1231
1232
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1233
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1234
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1235
1236
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1237
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1238
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1239
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1240
1241
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1242
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1243
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1244
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

1252
1253
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
1254
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
1255
1256
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
1257
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
1258
1259
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
1260
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
1261
1262
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
1263
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
1264
1265
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
1266
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
1267
1268
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
1269
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
1270
1271
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
1272
(Aaron Bentley)
1273
1274
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
1275
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
1276
1277
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
1278
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
1279
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
1280
1281
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
1282
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
1283
1284
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
1285
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
1286
1287
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
1288
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
1289
1290
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
1291
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
1292
1293
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
1294
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
1295
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
1296
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
1297
on them.
1298
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1299
1300
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
1301
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1302
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
1303
1304
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
1305
(Robert Collins, #161240)
1306
1307
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
1308
to be reconciled.
1309
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1310
1311
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1312
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1313
1314
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1315
specify a port in urls.
1316
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1317
1318
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
1319
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
1320
1321
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
1322
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
1323
1324
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
1325
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
1326
1327
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
1328
(Robert Collins, #153789)
1329
1330
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
1331
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
1332
(Robert Collins, #165304).
1333
1334
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
1335
1336
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
1337
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
1338
1339
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
1340
Watkins, #152811)
1341
1342
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
1343
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
1344
1345
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
1346
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
1347
1348
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
1349
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
1350
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
1351
1352
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
1353
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
1354
1355
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
1356
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
1357
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
1358
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
1359
1360
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
1361
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
1362
1363
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
1364
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
1365
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
1366
1367
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
1368
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
1369
1370
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
1371
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
1372
1373
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
1374
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
1375
1376
API BREAKS:
1377
1378
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
1379
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
1380
1381
* The return value of
1382
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
1383
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
1384
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
1385
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
1386
1387
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
1388
(Robert Collins)
1389
1390
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
1391
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
1392
format.
1393
(Martin Pool)
1394
1395
INTERNALS:
1396
1397
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
1398
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
1399
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
1400
Bennetts)
1401
1402
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
1403
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
1404
1405
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
1426
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
1427
1428
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
1429
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
1430
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
1431
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
1432
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
1433
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
1434
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
1435
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
1436
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
1437
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
1438
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
1439
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
1440
(Robert Collins)
1441
1442
FEATURES:
1443
1444
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
1445
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
1446
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
1447
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
1448
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
1449
for further details. (Robert Collins)
1450
1451
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
1452
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
1453
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
1454
(Robert Collins)
1455
1456
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
1457
1458
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
1459
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
1460
1461
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
1462
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
1463
(Aaron Bentley)
1464
1465
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
1466
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
1467
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
1468
1469
PERFORMANCE:
1470
1471
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
1472
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1473
1474
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
1475
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
1476
1477
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
1478
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
1479
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
1480
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
1481
1482
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
1483
(Robert Collins)
1484
1485
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
1486
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
1487
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
1488
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
1489
1490
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
1491
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
1492
1493
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
1494
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1495
1496
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
1497
the contents. (Robert Collins)
1498
1499
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
1500
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
1501
1502
IMPROVEMENTS:
1503
1504
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
1505
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
1506
1507
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
1508
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
1509
1510
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
1511
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
1512
1513
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
1514
(Martin Pool, #63894)
1515
1516
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
1517
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
1518
1519
DOCUMENTATION:
1520
1521
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
1522
1523
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
1524
(Ian Clatworthy)
1525
1526
BUG FIXES:
1527
1528
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
1529
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
1530
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
1531
1532
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
1533
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
1534
1535
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
1536
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
1537
1538
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
1539
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
1540
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
1541
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
1542
1543
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
1544
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
1545
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
1546
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
1547
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
1548
1549
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
1550
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
1551
paramiko.
1552
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
1553
1554
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1555
1556
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
1557
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
1558
1559
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
1560
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
1561
1562
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
1563
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
1564
1565
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
1566
contains a symbolic link.
1567
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
1568
1569
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
1570
(James Westby, #140615)
1571
1572
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
1573
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
1574
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
1575
1576
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
1577
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
1578
(Martin Pool, #144633)
1579
1580
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1581
1582
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
1583
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
1584
1585
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
1586
will remain opened.
1587
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
1588
1589
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
1590
directory to detect leaking tests.
1591
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
1592
1593
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
1594
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
1595
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
1596
1597
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
1598
(Rob Weir, #141629)
1599
1600
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
1601
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
1602
1603
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
1604
Merwe)
1605
1606
API BREAKS:
1607
1608
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
1609
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
1610
1611
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
1612
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
1613
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
1614
1615
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
1616
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
1617
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
1618
1619
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
1620
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
1621
1622
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
1623
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
1624
1625
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
1626
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
1627
(Martin Pool)
1628
1629
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
1630
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
1631
1632
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
1633
class that needs it.
1634
(Martin Pool)
1635
1636
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
1637
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
1638
1639
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
1640
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
1641
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
1642
1643
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
1644
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
1645
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
1646
(Robert Collins)
1647
1648
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
1649
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
1650
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
1651
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
1652
(Robert Collins)
1653
1654
INTERNALS:
1655
1656
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1657
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1658
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1659
1660
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1661
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1662
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1663
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1664
1665
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1666
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1667
(Robert Collins)
1668
1669
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1670
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1671
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1672
1673
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1674
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1675
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1676
1677
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1678
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1679
1680
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1681
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1682
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1683
1684
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1685
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1686
1687
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1688
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1689
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1690
1691
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1692
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1693
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1694
1695
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1696
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1697
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1698
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1699
1700
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1701
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1702
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1703
returned. (Robert Collins)
1704
1705
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1706
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1707
1708
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1709
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1710
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1711
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1712
(Robert Collins)
1713
1714
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1715
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1716
1717
TESTING:
1718
1719
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1720
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1721
1722
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1723
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1724
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1725
makes this behavior available to other users.
1726
(Martin Pool)
1727
1728
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1729
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
1730
1731
1732
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
1733
-------------------
1734
1735
BUG FIXES:
1736
1737
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1738
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1739
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1740
1741
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1742
1743
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1744
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1745
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1746
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1747
1748
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1749
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
1750
(Andrew Bennetts)
1751
1752
1753
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1754
----------------------
1755
1756
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
1757
in bzrlib/remote.py.
1758
1759
1760
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
1761
----------------------
1762
1763
CHANGES:
1764
1765
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1766
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1767
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1768
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1769
(Martin Pool)
1770
1771
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1772
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1773
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1774
(Ian Clatworthy)
1775
1776
FEATURES:
1777
1778
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1779
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1780
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1781
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1782
1783
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1784
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1785
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1786
1787
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1788
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1789
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1790
1791
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1792
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1793
1794
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1795
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1796
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1797
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1798
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1799
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1800
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1801
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1802
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1803
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1804
1805
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1806
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1807
1808
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1809
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1810
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1811
1812
BUG FIXES:
1813
1814
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1815
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1816
1817
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1818
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1819
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1820
1821
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1822
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1823
1824
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1825
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1826
1827
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1828
(Aaron Bentley)
1829
1830
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1831
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1832
1833
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1834
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1835
1836
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1837
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1838
1839
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1840
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1841
1842
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1843
1844
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1845
Watkins, #106726)
1846
1847
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1848
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1849
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1850
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1851
1852
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1853
1854
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1855
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1856
#133548)
1857
1858
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1859
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1860
1861
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1862
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1863
#116143)
1864
1865
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1866
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1867
1868
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1869
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1870
1871
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1872
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1873
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1874
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1875
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1876
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1877
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1878
1879
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1880
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1881
1882
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1883
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1884
1885
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1886
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1887
1888
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1889
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1890
1891
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1892
connections.
1893
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1894
1895
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1896
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1897
1898
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1899
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1900
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1901
1902
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1903
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1904
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1905
1906
IMPROVEMENTS:
1907
1908
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1909
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1910
1911
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1912
(Aaron Bentley)
1913
1914
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1915
(Aaron Bentley)
1916
1917
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1918
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1919
1920
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1921
1922
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1923
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1924
1925
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1926
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1927
1928
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1929
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1930
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1931
space). (Robert Collins)
1932
1933
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1934
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1935
(Ian Clatworthy)
1936
1937
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1938
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1939
1940
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1941
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1942
1943
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1944
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1945
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1946
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1947
1948
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1949
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1950
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1951
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1952
1953
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1954
(Ian Clatworthy)
1955
1956
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1957
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1958
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1959
1960
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1961
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1962
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1963
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1964
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1965
1966
API BREAKS:
1967
1968
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1969
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1970
1971
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1972
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1973
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1974
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1975
affected. (Robert Collins)
1976
1977
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1978
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1979
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1980
(Robert Collins)
1981
1982
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1983
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1984
1985
TESTING:
1986
1987
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1988
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1989
1990
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1991
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1992
1993
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1994
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1995
1996
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1997
(Aaron Bentley)
1998
1999
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
2000
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2001
2002
INTERNALS:
2003
2004
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
2005
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
2006
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
2007
its version information. (Robert Collins)
2008
2009
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
2010
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2011
2012
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
2013
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
2014
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
2015
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2016
2017
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
2018
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
2019
present. (Robert Collins)
2020
2021
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
2022
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
2023
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
2024
API. (Robert Collins)
2025
2026
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
2027
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
2028
(Robert Collins)
2029
2030
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
2031
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
2032
2033
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
2034
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
2035
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
2036
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
2037
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
2038
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
2039
2040
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
2041
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
2042
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
2043
2044
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
2045
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
2046
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
2047
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
2048
protocol.
2049
2050
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
2051
(Aaron Bentley)
2052
2053
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
2054
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
2055
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
2056
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
2057
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
2058
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
2059
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
2060
2061
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
2062
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
2063
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
2064
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
2065
2066
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
2067
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
2068
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
2069
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
2070
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
2071
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
2072
2073
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
2074
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
2075
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
2076
2077
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
2078
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2079
2080
2081
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
2082
-------------------
2083
2084
IMPROVEMENTS:
2085
2086
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2087
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2088
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2089
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2090
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2091
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2092
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
2093
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
2094
2095
2096
API CHANGES:
2097
2098
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2099
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2100
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
2101
2102
2103
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
2104
----------------------
2105
2106
BUGFIXES:
2107
2108
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2109
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2110
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2111
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2112
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2113
2114
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2115
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2116
2117
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2118
anymore.
2119
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2120
2121
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2122
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2123
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2124
2125
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2126
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2127
#111664)
2128
2129
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2130
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2131
2132
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2133
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2134
2135
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2136
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2137
2138
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2139
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2140
2141
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2142
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2143
2144
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2145
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2146
2147
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2148
(Aaron Bentley)
2149
2150
IMPROVEMENTS:
2151
2152
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2153
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2154
2155
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2156
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2157
2158
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2159
the repository (Robert Collins)
2160
2161
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2162
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2163
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2164
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2165
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2166
2167
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2168
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2169
2170
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2171
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2172
(John Arbash Meinel)
2173
2174
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2175
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2176
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2177
about 10%).
2178
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2179
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2180
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2181
(John Arbash Meinel)
2182
2183
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2184
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2185
(Robert Collins)
2186
2187
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2188
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2189
2190
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2191
(Ian Clatworthy)
2192
2193
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2194
2195
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2196
2197
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2198
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2199
2200
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2201
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2202
Meinel)
2203
2204
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2205
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2206
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2207
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2208
2209
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2210
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
2211
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
2212
2213
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
2214
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
2215
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
2216
2217
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2218
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2219
2220
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2221
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2222
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2223
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2224
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2225
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2226
(Ian Clatworthy)
2227
2228
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2229
(Alexander Belchenko)
2230
2231
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2232
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2233
2234
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2235
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2236
2237
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2238
2239
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2240
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2241
2242
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2243
2244
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2245
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2246
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2247
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2248
2249
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2250
2251
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2252
(Robert Collins)
2253
2254
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2255
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2256
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2257
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2258
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2259
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2260
2261
INTERNALS:
2262
2263
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2264
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2265
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2266
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2267
2268
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2269
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2270
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2271
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2272
tests have been refactored too.
2273
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2274
2275
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2276
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2277
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2278
list, it will.
2279
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2280
2281
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2282
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2283
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2284
2285
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2286
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2287
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2288
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2289
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2290
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2291
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2292
2293
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2294
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2295
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2296
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2297
(John Arbash Meinel)
2298
2299
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2300
functionality for testing.
2301
2302
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2303
2304
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2305
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2306
2307
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2308
2309
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2310
(Robert Collins)
2311
2312
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2313
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2314
2315
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2316
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2317
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2318
2319
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2320
(Aaron Bentley)
2321
2322
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2323
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2324
2325
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2326
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2327
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2328
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2329
2330
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2331
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2332
2333
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2334
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2335
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2336
2337
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2338
(Marius Kruger)
2339
2340
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2341
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2342
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2343
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2344
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
2345
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2346
2347
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
2348
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
2349
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
2350
many files. (Robert Collins)
2351
2352
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
2353
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
2354
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
2355
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
2356
2357
TESTING:
2358
2359
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
2360
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
2361
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
2362
2363
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
2364
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
2365
2366
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
2367
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
2368
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

-----------------------
2381
2382
BUGFIXES:
2383
2384
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
2385
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
2386
2387
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
2388
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
2389
(James Westby, #122656)
2390
2391
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
2392
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
2393
2394
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
2395
authentication header.
2396
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
2397
2398
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
2399
2400
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
2401
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
2402
2403
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
2404
2405
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
2406
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
2407
2408
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
2409
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
2410
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
2411
2412
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
2413
individually and as part of revision ranges.
2414
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
2415
2416
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
2417
(Martin Pool, #109169)
2418
2419
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
2420
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
2421
2422
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
2423
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
2424
2425
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2426
2427
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
2428
2429
IMPROVEMENTS:
2430
2431
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
2432
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
2433
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
2434
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
2435
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
2436
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
2437
2438
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
2439
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
2440
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
2441
2442
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
2443
(Elliot Murphy)
2444
2445
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
2446
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
2447
2448
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
2449
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
2450
2451
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
2452
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
2453
2454
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
2455
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
2456
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
2457
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
2458
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
2459
2460
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
2461
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
2462
2463
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
2464
can be slow it is useful feedback).
2465
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
2466
2467
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
2468
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
2469
2470
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
2471
2472
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
2473
output. (Aaron Bentley)
2474
2475
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
2476
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
2477
(Robert Collins)
2478
2479
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
2480
(Martin Pool)
2481
2482
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
2483
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
2484
2485
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
2486
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
2487
2488
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
2489
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
2490
2491
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
2492
2493
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
2494
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
2495
2496
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
2497
(Andrew Bennetts)
2498
2499
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2500
2501
* Testing cleanups -
2502
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2503
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
2504
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2505
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
2506
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2507
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
2508
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2509
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
2510
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2511
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
2512
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
2513
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
2514
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2515
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
2516
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2517
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
2518
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
2519
(Robert Collins)
2520
2521
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
2522
2523
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
2524
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
2525
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
2526
2527
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
2528
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
2529
2530
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
2531
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2532
2533
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
2534
2535
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
2536
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
2537
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
2538
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
2539
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
2540
same location. (Robert Collins)
2541
2542
INTERNALS:
2543
2544
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
2545
2546
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
2547
2548
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
2549
2550
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
2551
(Martin Pool)
2552
2553
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
2554
(Martin Pool)
2555
2556
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
2557
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
2558
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
2559
2560
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
2561
2562
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
2563
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
2564
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
2565
2566
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
2567
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
2568
2569
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
2570
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
2571
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
2572
2573
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
2574
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
2575
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
2576
2577
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
2578
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
2579
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
2580
2581
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
2582
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
2583
Martin Pool)
2584
2585
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
2586
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
2587
2588
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
2589
(Alexander Belchenko)
2590
2591
TESTING:
2592
2593
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
2594
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
2595
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
2596
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2597
2598
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
2599
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
2600
testing. (Robert Collins)
2601
2602
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
2603
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
2604
2605
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
2606
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
2607
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
2608
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
2609
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
2610
attribute during the test parameterisation in
2611
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
2612
2613
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
2614
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
2615
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
2616
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
2617
2618
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
2619
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
2620
2621
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
2622
avoid useless cloning.

2641
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2642
2643
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
2644
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
2645
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
2646
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
2647
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
2648
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
2649
and unlock() like so::
2650
2651
work_tree.lock_read()
2652
try:
2653
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
2654
finally:
2655
work_tree.unlock()
2656
2657
INTERNALS:
2658
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
2659
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
2660
object.
2661
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
2662
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
2663
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
2664
2665
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2666
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2667
too. (Robert Collins)
2668
2669
IMPROVEMENTS:
2670
2671
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
2672
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
2673
Aaron Bentley)
2674
2675
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
2676
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
2677
2678
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
2679
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
2680
2681
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
2682
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
2683
understanding what changes have occurred
2684
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
2685
2686
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
2687
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
2688
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2689
2690
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
2691
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
2692
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
2693
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2694
2695
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2696
#56322)
2697
2698
BUGFIXES:
2699
2700
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
2701
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
2702
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
2703
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
2704
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
2705
2706
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2707
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2708
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2709
2710
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
2711
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
2712
2713
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
2714
into account.
2715
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2716
2717
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2718
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2719
2720
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2721
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2722
2723
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2724
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2725
2726
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2727
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2728
2729
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2730
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2731
2732
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2733
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2734
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

2737
--------------------
2738
2739
BUGFIXES:
2740
2741
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2742
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2743
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2744
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2745
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2746
2747
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2748
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2749
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2750
2751
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2752
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2753
2754
IMPROVEMENTS:
2755
2756
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2757
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2758
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2759
2760
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2761
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2762
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2763
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

2766
-----------------------
2767
2768
BUGFIXES:
2769
2770
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2771
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2772
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2773
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2774
2775
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2776
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2777
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
2778
2779
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2780
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
2781
2782
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used

to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
2784
2785
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
2786
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

2789
-----------------------
2790
2791
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2792
2793
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
2794
it could be recovered again.
2795
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
2796
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
2797
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
2798
but not delete it.
2799
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
2800
files.
2801
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
2802
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
2803
2804
IMPROVEMENTS:
2805
2806
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
2807
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
2808
2809
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
2810
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
2811
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
2812
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
2813
2814
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
2815
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
2816
2817
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
2818
tests with names that match that regular expression.
2819
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
2820
2821
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
2822
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
2823
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
2824
2825
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
2826
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
2827
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
2828
2829
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
2830
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
2831
Robert Collins)
2832
2833
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
2834
Pool)
2835
2836
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
2837
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
2838
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
2839
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
2840
2841
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
2842
(Robert Collins)
2843
2844
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
2845
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
2846
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
2847
(Robert Collins)
2848
2849
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
2850
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
2851
2852
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
2853
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
2854
2855
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
2856
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
2857
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
2858
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
2859
(Robert Collins)
2860
2861
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
2862
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
2863
2864
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
2865
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2866
2867
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
2868
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
2869
(Robert Collins, #107125).
2870
2871
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
2872
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
2873
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
2874
2875
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
2876
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
2877
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2878
2879
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
2880
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
2881
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
2882
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
2883
2884
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
2885
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
2886
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
2887
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
2888
2889
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
2890
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
2891
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
2892
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
2893
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
2894
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
2895
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
2896
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
2897
header(s).
2898
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2899
2900
INTERNALS:
2901
2902
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
2903
code paths. (Robert Collins)
2904
2905
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
2906
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
2907
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
2908
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
2909
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2910
2911
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
2912
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
2913
2914
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
2915
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
2916
2917
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
2918
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
2919
2920
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
2921
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
2922
2923
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
2924
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
2925
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
2926
(Robert Collins).
2927
2928
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
2929
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
2930
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
2931
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
2932
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
2933
(Robert Collins)
2934
2935
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
2936
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
2937
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
2938
2939
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
2940
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
2941
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2942
2943
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
2944
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
2945
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
2946
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2947
2948
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
2949
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
2950
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
2951
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
2952
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
2953
2954
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
2955
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
2956
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
2957
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2958
2959
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
2960
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2961
2962
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
2963
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
2964
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
2965
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
2966
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
2967
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
2968
2969
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
2970
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
2971
2972
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
2973
help. (Robert Collins)
2974
2975
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
2976
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2977
2978
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
2979
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
2980
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
2981
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
2982
(John Arbash Meinel)
2983
2984
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
2985
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
2986
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
2987
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
2988
useful. (Robert Collins)
2989
2990
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
2991
(Andrew Bennetts)
2992
2993
BUGFIXES:
2994
2995
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
2996
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
2997
2998
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
2999
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
3000
3001
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
3002
properly and is no longer beneficial.
3003
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
3004
3005
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
3006
(Aaron Bentley)
3007
3008
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
3009
the file, and does it faster.
3010
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
3011
3012
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
3013
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
3014
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
3015
3016
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
3017
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
3018
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
3019
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
3020
3021
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
3022
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
3023
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
3024
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
3025
3026
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
3027
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
3028
3029
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
3030
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
3031
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
3032
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
3033
Arbash Meinel)
3034
3035
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
3036
3037
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
3038
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
3039
3040
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
3041
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
3042
3043
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
3044
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
3045
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
3046
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
3047
security hole.
3048
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3049
3050
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3051
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3052
3053
TESTING:
3054
3055
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3056
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3057
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3058
3059
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3060
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3061
3062
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3063
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3064
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3065
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3066
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3067
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3068
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3069
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3070
3071
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3072
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3073
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3074
3075
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3076
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3077
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
3078
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
3079
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3080
access.
3081
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3082
3083
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3084
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3085
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3086
3087
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3088
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
3107
3108
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
3109
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
3110
(Martin Pool)
3111
3112
IMPROVEMENTS:
3113
3114
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3115
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3116
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3117
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3118
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3119
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3120
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3121
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3122
path. (vila)
3123
3124
INTERNALS:
3125
3126
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3127
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3128
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3129
3130
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3131
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3132
(Martin Pool)
3133
3134
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3135
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3136
(John Arbash Meinel)
3137
3138
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3139
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3140
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3141
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3142
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3143
3144
BUGFIXES:
3145
3146
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3147
(vila, #92195)
3148
3149
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3150
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3151
3152
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3153
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3154
3155
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3156
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3157
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3158
3159
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3160
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3161
3162
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3163
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3164
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3165
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3166
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3167
3168
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3169
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3170
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3171
3172
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

3176
-----------------------
3177
3178
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3179
3180
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3181
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3182
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3183
3184
IMPROVEMENTS:
3185
3186
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3187
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3188
3189
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3190
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3191
3192
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3193
3194
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3195
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3196
3197
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3198
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3199
3200
INTERNALS:
3201
3202
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3203
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
3204
3205
BUGFIXES:
3206
3207
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3208
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3209
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3210
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3211
3212
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3213
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3214
3215
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3216
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3217
3218
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3219
(Marien Zwart)
3220
3221
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

3226
-----------------------
3227
3228
SURPRISES:
3229
3230
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
3231
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
3232
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
3233
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
3234
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
3235
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
3236
3237
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
3238
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
3239
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
3240
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
3241
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
3242
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
3243
development.
3244
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3245
3246
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
3247
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
3248
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
3249
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
3250
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
3251
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
3252
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
3253
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3254
3255
IMPROVEMENTS:
3256
3257
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3258
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3259
3260
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
3261
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
3262
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
3263
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
3264
does exist.
3265
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
3266
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
3267
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
3268
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
3269
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
3270
3271
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
3272
(Aaron Bentley)
3273
3274
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3275
(Aaron Bentley)
3276
3277
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3278
(Robert Collins)
3279
3280
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3281
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3282
(Aaron Bentley)
3283
3284
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3285
(Aaron Bentley)
3286
3287
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3288
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3289
3290
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3291
directory. (Martin Pool)
3292
3293
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3294
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3295
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3296
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3297
3298
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3299
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3300
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3301
in docs/configuration.txt.
3302
3303
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3304
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
3305
bind location.
3306
3307
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
3308
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
3309
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
3310
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
3311
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
3312
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3313
3314
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3315
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3316
3317
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3318
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3319
3320
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
3321
(Aaron Bentley)
3322
3323
INTERNALS:
3324
3325
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
3326
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
3327
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
3328
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
3329
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
3330
(John Arbash Meinel)
3331
3332
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
3333
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
3334
(Aaron Bentley)
3335
3336
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
3337
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
3338
(John Arbash Meinel)
3339
3340
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
3341
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
3342
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
3343
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
3344
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
3345
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
3346
3347
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
3348
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
3349
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
3350
3351
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
3352
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
3353
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
3354
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
3355
repository.
3356
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3357
3358
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
3359
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
3360
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
3361
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
3362
3363
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
3364
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
3365
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
3366
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
3367
3368
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
3369
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
3370
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
3371
3372
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
3373
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
3374
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
3375
3376
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
3377
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
3378
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
3379
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
3380
3381
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
3382
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
3383
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
3384
3385
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
3386
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
3387
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
3388
3389
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
3390
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
3391
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
3392
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
3393
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
3394
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
3395
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
3396
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
3397
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

3399
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
3400
3401
BUGFIXES:
3402
3403
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
3404
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
3405
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
3406
3407
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
3408
(Aaron Bentley)
3409
3410
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
3411
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
3412
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
3413
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
3414
3415
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
3416
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
3417
#83954).
3418
3419
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
3420
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
3421
3422
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
3423
3424
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
3425
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
3426
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
3427
3428
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
3429
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
3430
3431
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
3432
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
3433
3434
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
3435
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)

* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
3438
(Kent Gibson, #86451)

3443
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
3444

TESTING:
3446

3457
3458
BUG FIXES:
3459
3460
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
3461
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
3462
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
3463
3464
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
3465
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
3466
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

3469
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
3470
-----------------------
3471
3472
IMPROVEMENTS:
3473
3474
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
3475
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
3476
server, then you can write over the http connection.
3477
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3478
3479
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
3480
(Marius Kruger)
3481
3482
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
3483
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
3484
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3485
3486
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
3487
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
3488
3489
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
3490
(Aaron Bentley)
3491
3492
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
3493
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
3494
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
3495
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
3496
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
3497
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
3498
3499
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
3500
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
3501
should enable you to do::
3502
3503
[/home/user/project]
3504
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
3505
push_location:policy = appendpath
3506
3507
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
3508
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
3509
(James Henstridge)
3510
3511
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
3512
for each file. For example::
3513
3514
$ bzr status --short
3515
A foo
3516
A bar
3517
D baz
3518
? wooley
3519
3520
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
3521
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
3522
3523
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
3524
3525
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
3526
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
3527
3528
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
3529
3530
INTERNALS:
3531
3532
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
3533
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
3534
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
3535
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
3536
3537
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
3538
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
3539
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
3540
3541
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3542
3543
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
3544
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
3545
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
3546
(Alexander Belchenko)
3547
3548
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
3549
Pool)
3550
3551
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
3552
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
3553
3554
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
3555
3556
BUG FIXES:
3557
3558
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
3559
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
3560
3561
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
3562
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
3563
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
3564
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
3565
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
3566
3567
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
3568
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
3569
3570
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
3571
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
3572
3573
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
3574
matcher.
3575
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
3576
3577
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
3578
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
3579
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
3580
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
3581
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
3582
3583
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
3584
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
3585
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
3586
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
3587
3588
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
3589
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
3590
3591
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
3592
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
3593
3594
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
3595
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

IMPROVEMENTS:
3610
3611
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
3612
tree from a branch.
3613
(Daniel Silverstone)
3614
3615
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
3616
operations are substantially faster.
3617
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
3618
3619
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
3620
tree from some other url. For example:
3621
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
3622
(Daniel Silverstone)
3623
3624
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
3625
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
3626
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
3627
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
3628
3629
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
3630
(Andrew Bennetts)
3631
3632
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
3633
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
3634
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
3635
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
3636
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
3637
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
3638
3639
INTERNALS:
3640
3641
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
3642
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
3643
(Martin Pool)
3644
3645
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3646
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3647
(John Arbash Meinel)
3648
3649
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
3650
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
3651
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
3652
(John Arbash Meinel)
3653
3654
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
3655
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3656
3657
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3658
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3659
3660
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3661
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3662
Bennetts)
3663
3664
BUG FIXES:
3665
3666
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
3667
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
3668
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
3669
3670
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
3671
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
3672
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
3673
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
3674
3675
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3676
3677
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3678
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3679
3680
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3681
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3682
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
3683
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3684
3685
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3686
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3687
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3688
3689
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3690
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3691
them as full references rather than integers.
3692
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3693
3694
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3695
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3696
3697
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3698
3699
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3700
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3701
3702
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3703
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3704
3705
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3706
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3707
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3708
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3709
3710
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3711
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3712
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3713
3714
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3715
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3716
3717
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3718
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3719
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3720
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3721
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3722
3723
TESTING:
3724
3725
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3726
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

3729
--------------------
3730
3731
INTERNALS:
3732
3733
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3734
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3735
(John Arbash Meinel)
3736
3737
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
3738
-----------------------
3739
3740
IMPROVEMENTS:
3741
3742
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3743
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3744
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3745
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3746
3747
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3748
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3749
3750
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3751
3752
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3753
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3754
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3755
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3756
3757
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3758
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3759
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3760
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3761
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3762
3763
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3764
3765
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3766
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3767
3768
INTERNALS:
3769
3770
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3771
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3772
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3773
3774
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3775
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3776
(John Arbash Meinel)
3777
3778
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3779
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3780
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3781
3782
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3783
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3784
(Aaron Bentley)
3785
3786
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3787
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3788
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3789
3790
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3791
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3792
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3793
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3794
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3795
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3796
3797
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3798
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3799
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3800
(Robert Collins)
3801
3802
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3803
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3804
3805
BUG FIXES:
3806
3807
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3808
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3809
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3810
#63360, #66349)
3811
3812
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3813
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3814
3815
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3816
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3817
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3818
3819
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3820
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3821
3822
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3823
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3824
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3825
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3826
3827
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3828
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3829
3830
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3831
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3832
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3833
3834
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3835
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3836
3837
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3838
3839
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3840
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3841
#32054)
3842
3843
TESTING:
3844
3845
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3846
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3847
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3848
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3849
3850
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3851
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3852
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3853
3854
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

3864
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
3865
3866
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
3867

3868
3869
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
3870
-----------------------
3871
3872
IMPROVEMENTS:
3873
3874
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3875
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3876
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3877
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3878
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3879
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3880
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3881
3882
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3883
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3884
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3885
3886
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3887
3888
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3889
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3890
3891
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3892
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3893
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3894
(Robert Collins)
3895
3896
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3897
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3898
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3899
(John Arbash Meinel)
3900
3901
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3902
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3903
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3904
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3905
Pool)
3906
3907
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3908
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3909
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
3910
(John Arbash Meinel)
3911
3912
BUG FIXES:
3913
3914
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
3915
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
3916
3917
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3918
3919
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3920
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3921
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
3922
3923
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3924
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
3925
3926
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3927
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3928
3929
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3930
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3931
3932
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
3933
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
3934
3935
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3936
3937
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3938
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3939
3940
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3941
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3942
3943
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3944
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3945
3946
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3947
(John Arbash Meinel)
3948
3949
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3950
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3951
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3952
3953
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3954
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3955
3956
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3957
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3958
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3959
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3960
3961
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3962
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3963
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
3964
3965
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
3966
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
3967
3968
PORTABILITY:
3969
3970
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3971
3972
INTERNALS:
3973
3974
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3975
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3976
(John Arbash Meinel)
3977
3978
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3979
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3980
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3981
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3982
3983
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3984
(Andrew Bennetts)
3985
3986
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3987
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3988
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3989
3990
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3991
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3992
3993
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3994
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3995
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3996
3997
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3998
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3999
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
4000
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
4001
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
4002
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
4003
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
4004
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
4005
caller to repeat their request.
4006
(John Arbash Meinel)
4007
4008
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
4009
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
4010
4011
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
4012
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
4013
4014
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
4015
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
4016
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
4017
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
4018
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
4019
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
4020
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
4021
4022
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
4023
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
4024
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
4025
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
4026
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
4027
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
4028
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
4029
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
4030
(Robert Collins)
4031
4032
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
4033
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
4034
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
4035
4036
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
4037
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
4038
4039
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
4040
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
4041
4042
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
4043
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4044
4045
TESTING:
4046
4047
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
4048
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
4049
4050
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
4051
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
4052
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4053
4054
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
4055
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
4056
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4057
4058
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
4059
--------------------
4060
4061
IMPROVEMENTS:
4062
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
4063
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4064
4065
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
4066
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
4067
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
4068
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
4069
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
4070
4071
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
4072
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
4073
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
4074
4075
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
4076
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
4077
4078
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
4079
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
4080
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4081
4082
BUG FIXES:
4083
4084
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
4085
4086
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
4087
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
4088
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
4089
4090
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
4091
4092
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
4093
4094
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
4095
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
4096
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
4097
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
4098
4099
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
4100
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
4101
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
4102
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
4103
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
4104
4105
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
4106
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
4107
4108
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
4109
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
4110
4111
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
4112
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
4113
4114
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
4115
in handling of revision properties.
4116

* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
4119
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
4120
4121
INTERNALS:
4122
4123
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
4124
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
4125
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
4126
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
4127
(John Arbash Meinel)
4128
4129
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
4130
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
4131
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4132
4133
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4134
---------------------
4135
4136
SURPRISES:
4137
4138
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
4139
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
4140
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
4141
specific one '.bzrignore'.
4142
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
4143
a more conservative list than the old default.
4144
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
4145
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
4146
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
4147
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
4148
4149
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4150
to more locations than just branch locations.
4151
(Aaron Bentley)
4152
4153
IMPROVEMENTS:
4154
4155
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
4156
revno:N:branch. For example,
4157
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
4158
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4159
4160
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
4161
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
4162
the path of a file that has been versioned.
4163
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
4164
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
4165
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
4166
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
4167
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
4168
#42517, #42514)
4169
4170
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
4171
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
4172
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
4173
(Malone #3507)
4174
4175
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
4176
(Alexander Belchenko)
4177
4178
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
4179
4180
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
4181
(Robert Collins).
4182
4183
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
4184
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
4185
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
4186
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
4187
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
4188
(John Arbash Meinel)
4189
4190
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
4191
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
4192
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
4193
grained analysis of performance.
4194
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4195
4196
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
4197
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
4198
4199
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
4200
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
4201
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
4202
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
4203
file. (Robert Collins).
4204
4205
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
4206
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
4207
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
4208
4209
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
4210
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
4211
Matthieu Moy)
4212
4213
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
4214
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
4215
4216
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
4217
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
4218
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
4219
the same way you would apply another branch.
4220
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4221
4222
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
4223
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
4224
4225
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
4226
(Michael Ellerman)
4227
4228
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
4229
(Aaron Bentley)
4230
4231
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
4232
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
4233
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
4234
4235
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
4236
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
4237
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
4238
4239
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
4240
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
4241
4242
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
4243
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
4244
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
4245
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
4246
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
4247
4248
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
4249
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
4250
4251
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
4252
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
4253
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
4254
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
4255
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
4256
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
4257
branch is as much as 4x faster.
4258
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
4259
4260
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
4261
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
4262
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
4263
4264
BUG FIXES:
4265
4266
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4267
tests not to run.
4268
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4269
4270
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4271
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4272
4273
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4274
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4275
4276
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4277
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4278
4279
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4280
4281
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4282
(John Arbash Meinel)
4283
4284
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4285
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4286
4287
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4288
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4289
and y.
4290
4291
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4292
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4293
4294
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4295
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4296
4297
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4298
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4299
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4300
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4301
4302
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4303
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4304
4305
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4306
4307
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4308
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4309
4310
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4311
4312
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4313
4314
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4315
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4316
4317
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4318
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4319
4320
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4321
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4322
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4323
4324
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4325
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4326
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4327
4328
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4329
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4330
4331
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4332
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4333
4334
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4335
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4336
4337
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4338
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4339
4340
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4341
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
4342
4343
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
4344
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
4345
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
4346
4347
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
4348
4349
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
4350
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
4351
4352
INTERNALS:
4353
4354
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
4355
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
4356
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
4357
4358
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
4359
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
4360
4361
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
4362
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
4363
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4364
4365
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
4366
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4367
4368
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
4369
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
4370
(Martin Pool)
4371
4372
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
4373
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
4374
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4375
4376
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
4377
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
4378
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4379
4380
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
4381
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
4382
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
4383
4384
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
4385
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
4386
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
4387
4388
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
4389
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
4390
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
4391
4392
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
4393
instead. (Robert Collins)
4394
4395
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

4409
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
4410
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
4411
4412
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
4413
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4414
4415
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
4416
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
4417
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
4418
4419
CHANGES:
4420
4421
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)

* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
4424
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)

4427
4428
CHANGES:
4429
4430
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
4431
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
4432
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
4433
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
4434
4435
NEW FEATURES:
4436
4437
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
4438
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
4439
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
4440
4441
INTERNALS:
4442
4443
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
4444
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
4445
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4446
4447
TESTING:
4448
4449
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
4450
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)

4452
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
4453
-------------------
4454
4455
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4456
4457
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
4458
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
4459
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
4460
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
4461
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
4462
will keep the same format.
4463
4464
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
4465
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
4466
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
4467
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
4468
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
4469
4470
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
4471
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
4472
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
4473
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
4474
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
4475
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
4476
indicating the current revision of the branch.
4477
4478
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
4479
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
4480
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
4481
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
4482
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
4483
4484
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
4485
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
4486
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
4487
arrangement.
4488
4489
4490
IMPROVEMENTS:
4491
4492
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
4493
convention. Paths now take the form::
4494
4495
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
4496
or
4497
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
4498
4499
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
4500
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
4501
4502
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
4503
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
4504
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
4505
4506
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
4507
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
4508
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
4509
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
4510
4511
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
4512
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
4513
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
4514
4515
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
4516
4517
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
4518
4519
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
4520
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
4521
commits::
4522
4523
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
4524
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
4525
| xargs bzr re-sign
4526
4527
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
4528
4529
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
4530
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
4531
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
4532
(Robert Collins)
4533
4534
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
4535
4536
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
4537
4538
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
4539
'.moved'.
4540
4541
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
4542
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
4543
4544
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
4545
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
4546
Daniel Silverstone)
4547
4548
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
4549
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
4550
Martin Pool)
4551
4552
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
4553
4554
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
4555
4556
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
4557
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
4558
4559
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
4560
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
4561
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
4562
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
4563
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
4564
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
4565
4566
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
4567
4568
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
4569
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
4570
(Robert Collins)
4571
4572
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
4573
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
4574
4575
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
4576
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
4577
4578
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
4579
4580
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
4581
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
4582
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
4583
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
4584
specification by Martin Pool.
4585
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
4586
4587
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
4588
Belchenko)
4589
4590
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
4591
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4592
4593
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
4594
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
4595
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
4596
4597
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
4598
4599
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
4600
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
4601
(Robert Collins)
4602
4603
CHANGES:
4604
4605
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
4606
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4607
4608
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
4609
4610
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
4611
4612
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
4613
(Olaf Conradi)
4614
4615
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
4616
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
4617
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
4618
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
4619
4620
INTERNALS:
4621
4622
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
4623
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
4624
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
4625
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4626
4627
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
4628
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
4629
tried. (Martin Pool)
4630
4631
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
4632
(Martin Pool)
4633
4634
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
4635
4636
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
4637
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
4638
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
4639
4640
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
4641
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
4642
4643
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
4644
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
4645
paths. (Robert Collins)
4646
4647
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
4648
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
4649
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
4650
4651
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
4652
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
4653
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
4654
4655
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4656
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4657
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4658
4659
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4660
(Olaf Conradi)
4661
4662
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4663
(Olaf Conradi)
4664
4665
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4666
4667
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4668
4669
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
4670
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
4671
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
4672
(Robert Collins)
4673
4674
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4675
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4676
4677
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
4678
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
4679
check. (Robert Collins)
4680
4681
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4682
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4683
4684
TESTING:
4685
4686
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4687
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4688
4689
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4690
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4691
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4692
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4693
4694
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4695
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4696
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4697
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4698
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4699
4700
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4701
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4702
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4703
4704
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4705
4706
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4707
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
4708
4709
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
4710
------------------
4711
4712
CHANGES:
4713
4714
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4715
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4716
4717
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4718
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4719
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4720
(Johan Rydberg)
4721
4722
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4723
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4724
4725
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4726
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4727
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4728
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4729
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4730
4731
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4732
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4733
used. (Robert Collins)
4734
4735
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4736
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4737
(James Henstridge)
4738
4739
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4740
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4741
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4742
4743
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4744
ignore list.
4745
4746
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4747
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4748
4749
IMPROVEMENTS:
4750
4751
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4752
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4753
4754
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4755
4756
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4757
4758
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4759
tree. (Robert Collins)
4760
4761
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4762
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4763
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4764
(Robert Collins)
4765
4766
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4767
that they be kept.
4768
4769
* Tweaks to short log printing
4770
4771
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4772
(Aaron Bentley)
4773
4774
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4775
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4776
4777
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4778
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4779
4780
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4781
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4782
4783
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
4784
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4785
settings. (Magnus Therning)
4786
4787
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
4788
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4789
4790
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4791
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4792
requests.
4793
4794
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4795
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4796
4797
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
4798
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
4799
4800
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
4801
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
4802
4803
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
4804
(Denys Duchier)
4805
4806
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
4807
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4808
4809
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4810
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4811
4812
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4813
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4814
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
4815
4816
BUG FIXES:
4817
4818
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
4819
4820
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4821
4822
* Error when run with -OO
4823
4824
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
4825
(Martin Pool)
4826
4827
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4828
4829
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4830
4831
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4832
ignored by diff and status
4833
4834
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4835
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
4836
4837
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
4838
4839
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4840
4841
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4842
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4843
4844
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4845
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4846
4847
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4848
(Harald Meland)
4849
4850
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4851
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4852
4853
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4854
4855
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4856
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4857
4858
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4859
(Martin Pool)
4860
4861
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4862
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4863
4864
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4865
4866
TESTING:
4867
4868
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4869
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4870
4871
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4872
4873
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4874
4875
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4876
4877
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4878
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4879
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4880
4881
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4882
4883
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4884
(John Arbash Meinel)
4885
4886
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4887
4888
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4889
If adding a new test script please add that to
4890
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4891
4892
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4893
imported. (Martin Pool)
4894
4895
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4896
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4897
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4898
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4899
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4900
(Robert Collins)
4901
4902
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4903
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4904
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4905
4906
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4907
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4908
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4909
4910
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4911
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4912
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4913
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4914
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4915
(Robert Collins).
4916
4917
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4918
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4919
(Robert Collins).
4920
4921
INTERNALS:
4922
4923
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4924
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4925
4926
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4927
function. (Robert Collins)
4928
4929
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4930
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4931
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4932
4933
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4934
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4935
(Robert Collins)
4936
4937
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4938
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4939
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4940
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4941
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4942
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4943
version. (Robert Collins)
4944
4945
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4946
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4947
4948
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4949
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4950
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4951
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4952
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4953
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4954
4955
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4956
(Robert Collins)
4957
4958
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4959
4960
add()
4961
commit()
4962
move()
4963
rename_one()
4964
unknowns()
4965
4966
(Robert Collins)
4967
4968
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4969
4970
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4971
4972
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4973
Pool)
4974
4975
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4976
query method. (Robert Collins)
4977
4978
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4979
(Denys Duchier)
4980
4981
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4982
(Michael Ellerman)
4983
4984
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4985
(Michael Ellerman)
4986
4987
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4988
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4989
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4990
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4991
4992
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4993
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4994
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4995
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4996
4997
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4998
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
4999

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

bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
5572
---------------------
5573
5574
CHANGES:
5575
5576
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
5577
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5578
5579
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
5580
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
5581
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
5582
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
5583
5584
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
5585
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
5586
with the ``--forward`` option.
5587
5588
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
5589
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
5590
field.
5591
5592
5593
ENHANCEMENTS:
5594
5595
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
5596
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
5597
5598
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
5599
5600
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
5601
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
5602
5603
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
5604
5605
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
5606
either read or write mode.
5607
5608
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
5609
5610
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
5611
affected that file.
5612
5613
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
5614
5615
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
5616
suggested by LarstiQ.
5617
5618
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
5619
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
5620
5621
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
5622
a filename.
5623
5624
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
5625
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
5626
5627
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
5628
haven't changed since the previous time.
5629
5630
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
5631
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
5632
5633
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
5634
5635
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
5636
5637
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
5638
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
5639
5640
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
5641
options through to an external GNU diff.
5642
5643
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
5644
their contents.
5645
5646
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
5647
from a branch.
5648
5649
5650
BUG FIXES:
5651
5652
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
5653
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
5654
5655
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
5656
metacharacters.
5657
5658
5659
TESTING:
5660
5661
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
5662
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
5663
the tests.
5664
5665
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
5666
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
5667
5668
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
5669
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
5670
5671
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
5672
under a different version.
5673
5674
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
5675
5676
5677
INTERNAL:
5678
5679
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
5680
5681
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
5682
Scott James Remnant.
5683
5684
* Better help messages for many commands.
5685
5686
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
5687
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
5688
5689
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
5690
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
5691
5692
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
5693
5694
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
5695
5696
* New AtomicFile class.
5697
5698
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
5699
5700
5701
PORTABILITY:
5702
5703
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
5704
2.4 is now only recommended.

bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
5708
---------------------
5709
5710
ENHANCEMENTS:
5711
5712
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
5713
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
5714
5715
* More default ignore patterns.
5716
5717
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
5718
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
5719
5720
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
5721
5722
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
5723
by Jason Diamon.
5724
5725
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
5726
5727
5728
CHANGES:
5729
5730
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
5731
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
5732
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
5733
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
5734
there are DNS problems.
5735
5736
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
5737
5738
5739
BUG FIXES:
5740
5741
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
5742
5743
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
5744
5745
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
5746
trailing newlines properly.
5747
5748
5749
INTERNAL:
5750
5751
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
5752
Matt Brubeck.
5753
5754
* More tests in test.sh.
5755
5756
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
5757
directory and delete it when done.
5758
5759
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
5760
5761
5762
PORTABILITY:
5763
5764
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
5765
Bennetts.
5766
5767
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
5768
from QuantumG.

5777
in the tree.
5778

5781
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
5782

* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
5785
directory.

5787
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
5788
5789
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
5790
5791
CHANGES:
5792
5793
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
5794
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
5795
will do for now.)
5796
5797
PORTABILITY:
5798
5799
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
5800
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
5801
Nielsen.
5802
5803
INTERNAL:
5804

5822
5823
ENHANCEMENTS:
5824
5825
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
5826
5827
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
5828
rather than replacing it.
5829
5830
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
5831
5832
* More help topics.
5833
5834
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
5835
branch.
5836
5837
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
5838
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
5839
5840
* Performance improvements.
5841
5842
* New global --profile option.
5843
5844
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
5845
the root directory only.

5869
installation easier.
5870

5872
supported).
