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)
24
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
25
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley)
27
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
32
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
33
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
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)
39
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
42
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
43
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
45
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
46
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
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)
51
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
52
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
54
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
55
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
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)
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)
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)
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)
78
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
80
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
81
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
85
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
86
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
87
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
91
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
92
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
93
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
95
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
97
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
98
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
100
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
101
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
105
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
106
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
107
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
110
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` is deprecated, as a start towards
111
removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
118
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
119
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
120
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
121
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
122
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
123
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
124
and faster performance.
128
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
129
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
130
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
131
(John Arbash Meinel, Andrew Bennetts, #214894)
134
bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
135
---------------------
139
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
140
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
141
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
143
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
144
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
146
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
147
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
149
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
150
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
151
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
152
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
153
every revision each side had in common.
154
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
157
bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
158
---------------------
162
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
164
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
165
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
167
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
168
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
169
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
171
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
172
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
173
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
174
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
175
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
176
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
179
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
180
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
181
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
182
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
186
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
188
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
189
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
190
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
192
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
193
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
194
See the User Reference for signature details.
195
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
197
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
198
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
202
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
203
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
204
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
205
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
207
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
208
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
210
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
211
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
212
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
215
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
218
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
219
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
220
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
222
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
225
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
226
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
228
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
229
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
231
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
232
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
233
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
235
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
236
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
237
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
238
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
239
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
241
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
242
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
244
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
245
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
249
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
250
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
251
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
252
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
253
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
254
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
256
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
257
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
259
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
260
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
261
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
263
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
264
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
266
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
267
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
268
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
269
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
271
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
272
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
273
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
274
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
275
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
277
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
279
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
280
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
282
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
284
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
285
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
287
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
288
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
292
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
294
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
296
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
298
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
302
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
303
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
304
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
306
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
307
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
308
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
309
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
311
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
312
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
313
release. (James Westby)
315
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
318
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
320
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
321
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
323
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
324
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
326
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
327
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
329
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
330
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
331
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
333
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
334
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
335
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
336
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
338
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
339
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
340
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
341
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
343
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
344
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
345
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
346
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
347
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
348
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
350
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
351
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
352
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
354
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
355
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
357
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
358
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
361
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
362
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
364
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
365
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
367
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
368
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
370
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
371
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
372
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
374
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
375
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
376
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
377
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
378
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
379
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
383
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
384
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
385
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
386
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
388
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
389
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
390
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
391
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
395
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
396
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
399
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
400
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
402
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
404
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
405
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
406
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
410
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
412
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
415
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
416
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
417
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
418
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
419
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
420
(Martin Pool, #109520)
422
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
423
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
425
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
426
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
427
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
428
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
430
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
431
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
433
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
434
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)
440
No changes from 1.3.1rc1.
443
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-04-04
444
---------------------
448
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
449
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
450
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
451
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
457
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
459
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
460
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
461
features have been added.
465
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
467
(#202778, Martin Pool)
470
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-03-16
471
---------------------
473
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
475
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
476
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
480
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
481
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
482
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
483
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
486
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
487
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
488
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
489
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
490
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
491
(Alexander Belchenko)
493
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
494
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
495
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
496
(Alexander Belchenko)
498
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
500
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
501
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
505
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
506
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
508
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
509
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
514
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
516
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
518
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
519
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
520
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
522
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
523
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
525
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
528
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
529
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
530
(Alexander Belchenko)
532
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
533
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
534
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
535
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
537
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
540
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
541
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
542
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
543
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
544
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
548
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
549
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
550
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
551
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
553
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
554
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
556
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
557
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
559
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
560
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
561
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
563
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
564
(#198793, John Ferlito)
566
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
569
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
570
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
572
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
574
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
576
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
577
symlinks (James Henstridge)
579
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
580
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
582
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
583
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
585
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
586
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
588
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
589
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
591
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
592
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
596
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
597
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
601
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
602
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
603
(Alexander Belchenko)
607
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
608
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
613
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
614
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
615
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
617
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
618
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
619
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
620
(Alexander Belchenko)
622
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
623
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
624
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
625
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
627
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
628
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
629
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
632
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
633
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
634
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
636
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
637
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
638
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
640
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
641
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
642
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
643
format. (Robert Collins)
651
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
654
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
655
---------------------
657
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
659
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
660
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
661
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
662
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
663
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
668
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
669
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
671
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
672
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
673
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
675
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
676
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
677
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
678
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
679
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
680
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
685
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
686
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
688
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
689
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
690
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
693
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
694
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
695
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
696
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
697
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
699
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
700
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
701
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
702
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
703
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
704
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
705
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
706
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
710
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
711
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
713
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
714
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
716
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
717
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
719
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
720
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
721
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
723
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
724
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
729
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
730
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
732
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
733
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
735
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
736
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
738
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
739
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
740
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
742
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
743
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
744
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
746
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
747
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
749
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
750
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
751
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
752
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
753
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
755
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
757
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
758
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
761
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
762
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
764
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
765
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
767
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
768
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
770
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
771
more characters which should be considered valid.
772
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
774
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
775
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
777
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
778
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
782
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
783
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
785
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
786
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
791
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
792
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
797
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
798
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
799
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
801
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
802
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
803
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
805
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
806
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
807
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
808
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
810
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
812
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
813
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
814
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
815
server. (Robert Collins)
817
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
818
operate. (Robert Collins)
820
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
821
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
822
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
824
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
825
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
826
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
827
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
829
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
830
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
832
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
833
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
834
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
836
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
837
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
839
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
840
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
842
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
843
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
844
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
845
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
851
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
853
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
854
---------------------
858
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
859
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
860
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
861
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
863
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
864
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
865
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
866
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
870
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
873
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
876
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
877
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
881
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
884
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
885
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
886
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
888
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
890
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
891
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
892
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
893
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
894
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
896
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
897
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
898
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
900
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
901
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
903
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
906
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
908
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
910
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
913
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
914
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
918
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
919
(Martin Pool, #180208)
921
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
922
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
924
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
927
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
928
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
930
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
931
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
933
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
934
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
936
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
937
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
939
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
940
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
941
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
943
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
944
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
946
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
947
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
950
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
952
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
953
user:pass embedded in the urls.
954
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
956
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
957
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
959
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
962
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
965
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
966
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
968
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
971
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
972
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
975
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
976
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
977
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
981
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
984
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
985
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
986
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
987
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
988
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
989
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
991
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
995
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
998
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
999
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1001
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1003
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1004
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1005
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1008
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1009
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1011
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
1018
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
1019
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1020
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
1022
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1023
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1026
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1027
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1029
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
1030
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1032
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1033
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1035
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
1036
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
1037
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1039
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1040
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1042
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
1043
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1045
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
1046
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
1049
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
1050
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
1052
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
1053
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
1061
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1063
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
1066
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
1068
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
1069
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
1073
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
1074
---------------------
1078
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
1079
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
1080
by mail to the mailing list.
1085
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
1087
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
1088
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
1089
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
1090
feedback but also incur more latency.
1091
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
1093
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
1094
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
1098
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1100
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
1105
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
1106
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
1107
wraps its output in a StringIO.
1111
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
1112
---------------------
1116
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1118
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
1121
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
1124
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1125
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1126
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
1127
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1129
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
1132
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1133
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1135
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1136
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1137
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1139
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1140
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1141
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1142
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1143
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1144
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1145
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1146
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1147
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
1151
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
1154
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
1158
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
1159
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
1161
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
1163
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1165
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1166
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1168
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
1170
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1171
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
1173
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
1174
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
1178
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
1179
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
1182
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
1183
---------------------
1185
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1187
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1188
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1189
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1190
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1192
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1193
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1195
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1196
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1198
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1199
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1200
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1201
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1202
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1203
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1204
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1205
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1206
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1207
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1208
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1209
from any tree without problems.
1210
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
1214
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1215
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1216
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1218
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
1219
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
1220
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
1225
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
1226
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
1227
supported transports.
1230
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
1231
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
1232
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
1234
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1235
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1237
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
1238
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
1239
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
1240
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
1242
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
1243
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
1247
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
1248
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
1249
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
1250
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1252
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
1253
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
1254
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
1255
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
1257
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
1258
(Robert Collins, #88319)
1260
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
1261
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
1263
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1264
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1266
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1267
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1272
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1275
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1276
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1279
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1280
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1281
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1282
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1284
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1285
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1286
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1287
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
1293
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
1294
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
1296
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
1297
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
1299
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
1300
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
1302
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
1303
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
1305
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
1306
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
1308
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
1309
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
1311
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
1312
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
1314
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
1317
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
1318
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
1320
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
1321
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
1322
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
1324
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
1325
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
1327
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
1328
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
1330
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
1331
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
1333
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
1334
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
1336
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
1337
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
1338
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
1339
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
1341
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1343
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
1344
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1345
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
1347
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
1348
(Robert Collins, #161240)
1350
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
1352
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1354
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1355
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1357
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1358
specify a port in urls.
1359
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1361
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
1362
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
1364
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
1365
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
1367
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
1368
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
1370
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
1371
(Robert Collins, #153789)
1373
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
1374
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
1375
(Robert Collins, #165304).
1377
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
1379
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
1380
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
1382
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
1385
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
1386
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
1388
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
1389
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
1391
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
1392
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
1393
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
1395
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
1396
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
1398
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
1399
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
1400
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
1401
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
1403
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
1404
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
1406
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
1407
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
1408
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
1410
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
1411
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
1413
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
1414
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
1416
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
1417
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
1421
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
1422
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
1424
* The return value of
1425
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
1426
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
1427
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
1428
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
1430
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
1433
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
1434
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
1440
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
1441
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
1442
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
1445
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
1446
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
1448
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
1458
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
1461
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
1462
----------------------
1464
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1468
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
1469
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
1471
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
1472
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
1473
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
1474
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
1475
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
1476
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
1477
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
1478
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
1479
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
1480
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
1481
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
1482
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
1487
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
1488
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
1489
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
1490
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
1491
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
1492
for further details. (Robert Collins)
1494
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
1495
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
1496
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
1499
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
1501
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
1502
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
1504
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
1505
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
1508
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
1509
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
1510
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
1514
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
1515
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1517
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
1518
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
1520
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
1521
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
1522
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
1523
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
1525
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
1528
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
1529
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
1530
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
1531
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
1533
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
1534
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
1536
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
1537
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1539
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
1540
the contents. (Robert Collins)
1542
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
1543
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
1547
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
1548
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
1550
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
1551
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
1553
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
1554
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
1556
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
1557
(Martin Pool, #63894)
1559
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
1560
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
1564
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
1566
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
1571
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
1572
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
1573
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
1575
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
1576
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
1578
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
1579
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
1581
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
1582
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
1583
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
1584
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
1586
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
1587
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
1588
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
1589
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
1590
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
1592
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
1593
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
1595
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
1597
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1599
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
1600
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
1602
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
1603
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
1605
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
1606
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
1608
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
1609
contains a symbolic link.
1610
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
1612
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
1613
(James Westby, #140615)
1615
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
1616
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
1617
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
1619
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
1620
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
1621
(Martin Pool, #144633)
1623
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1625
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
1626
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
1628
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
1630
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
1632
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
1633
directory to detect leaking tests.
1634
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
1636
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
1637
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
1638
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
1640
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
1643
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
1644
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
1646
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
1651
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
1652
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
1654
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
1655
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
1656
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
1658
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
1659
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
1660
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
1662
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
1663
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
1665
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
1666
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
1668
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
1669
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
1672
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
1673
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
1675
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
1676
class that needs it.
1679
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
1680
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
1682
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
1683
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
1684
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
1686
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
1687
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
1688
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
1691
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
1692
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
1693
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
1694
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
1699
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1700
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1701
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1703
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1704
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1705
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1706
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1708
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1709
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1712
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1713
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1714
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1716
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1717
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1718
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1720
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1721
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1723
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1724
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1725
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1727
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1728
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1730
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1731
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1732
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1734
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1735
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1736
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1738
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1739
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1740
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1741
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1743
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1744
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1745
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1746
returned. (Robert Collins)
1748
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1749
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1751
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1752
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1753
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1754
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1757
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1758
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1762
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1763
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1765
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1766
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1767
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1768
makes this behavior available to other users.
1771
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1772
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
1780
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1781
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1782
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1784
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1786
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1787
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1788
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1789
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1791
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1792
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.

* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
1800
in bzrlib/remote.py.
1803
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
1804
----------------------
1808
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1809
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1810
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1811
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1814
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1815
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1816
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1821
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1822
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1823
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1826
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1827
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1828
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1830
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1831
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1832
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1834
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1835
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1837
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1838
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1839
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1840
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1841
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1842
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1843
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1844
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1845
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1846
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1848
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1849
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1851
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1852
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1853
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1857
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1858
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1860
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1861
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1862
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1864
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1865
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1867
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1868
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1870
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1873
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1874
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1876
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1877
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1879
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1880
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1882
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1883
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1885
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1887
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1890
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1891
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1892
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1893
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1895
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1897
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1898
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1901
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1902
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1904
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1905
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1908
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1909
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1911
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1912
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1914
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1915
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1916
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1917
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1918
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1919
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1920
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1922
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1923
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1925
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1926
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1928
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1929
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1931
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1932
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1934
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1936
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1938
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1939
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1941
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1942
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1943
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1945
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1946
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1947
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1951
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1952
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1954
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1957
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1960
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1961
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1963
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1965
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1966
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1968
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1969
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1971
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1972
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1973
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1974
space). (Robert Collins)
1976
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1977
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1980
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1981
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1983
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1984
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1986
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1987
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1988
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1989
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1991
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1992
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1993
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1996
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1999
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
2000
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
2001
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
2003
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
2004
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
2005
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
2006
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
2007
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
2011
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
2012
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2014
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
2015
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
2016
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
2017
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
2018
affected. (Robert Collins)
2020
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
2021
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
2022
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
2025
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2026
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2030
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
2031
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
2033
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
2034
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2036
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2037
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2039
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
2042
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
2043
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2047
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
2048
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
2049
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
2050
its version information. (Robert Collins)
2052
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
2053
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2055
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
2056
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
2057
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
2058
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2060
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
2061
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
2062
present. (Robert Collins)
2064
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
2065
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
2066
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
2067
API. (Robert Collins)
2069
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
2070
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
2073
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
2074
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
2076
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
2077
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
2078
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
2079
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
2080
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
2081
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
2083
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
2084
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
2085
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
2087
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
2088
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
2089
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
2090
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
2093
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
2096
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
2097
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
2098
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
2099
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
2100
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
2101
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
2102
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
2104
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
2105
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
2106
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
2107
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
2109
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
2110
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
2111
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
2112
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
2113
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
2114
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
2116
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
2117
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
2118
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
2120
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
2121
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2129
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2130
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2131
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2132
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2133
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2134
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2135
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
2136
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
2141
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2142
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2143
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
2146
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
2147
----------------------
2151
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2152
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2153
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2154
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2155
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2157
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2158
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2160
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2162
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2164
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2165
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2168
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2169
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2172
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2175
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2176
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2178
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2179
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2181
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2182
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2184
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2185
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2187
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2188
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2190
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2195
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2196
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2198
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2199
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2201
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2202
the repository (Robert Collins)
2204
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2205
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2206
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2207
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2208
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2210
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2211
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2213
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2214
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2215
(John Arbash Meinel)
2217
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2218
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2219
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2221
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2222
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2223
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2224
(John Arbash Meinel)
2226
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2227
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2230
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2231
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2233
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2236
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2238
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2240
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2241
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2243
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2244
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2247
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2248
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2249
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2250
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2252
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2253
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
2254
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
2256
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
2257
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
2258
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
2260
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2261
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2263
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2264
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2265
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2266
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2267
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2268
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2271
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2272
(Alexander Belchenko)
2274
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2275
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2277
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2278
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2280
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2282
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2283
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2287
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2288
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2289
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2290
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2292
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2294
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2297
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2298
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2299
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2300
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2301
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2302
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2306
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2307
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2308
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2309
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2311
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2312
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2313
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2314
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2315
tests have been refactored too.
2318
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2319
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2320
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2324
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2325
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2326
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2328
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2329
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2330
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2331
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2332
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2333
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2334
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2336
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2337
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2338
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2339
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2340
(John Arbash Meinel)
2342
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2343
functionality for testing.
2345
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2347
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2348
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2350
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2352
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2355
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2356
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2358
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2359
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2360
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2362
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2365
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2366
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2368
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2369
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2370
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2371
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2373
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2374
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2376
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2377
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2378
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2380
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2383
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2384
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2385
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2386
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2387
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
2388
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2390
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
2391
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
2392
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
2393
many files. (Robert Collins)
2395
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
2396
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
2397
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
2398
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
2402
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
2403
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
2404
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
2406
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
2407
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
2409
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
2410
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
2411
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2415
--------------------
2419
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
2422
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
2423
-----------------------
2427
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
2428
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
2430
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
2431
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
2432
(James Westby, #122656)
2434
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
2435
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
2437
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
2438
authentication header.
2439
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
2441
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
2443
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
2444
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
2446
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
2448
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
2449
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
2451
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
2452
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
2453
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
2455
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
2456
individually and as part of revision ranges.
2457
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
2459
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
2460
(Martin Pool, #109169)
2462
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
2463
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
2465
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
2466
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
2468
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2470
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
2474
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
2475
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
2476
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
2477
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
2478
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
2479
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
2481
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
2482
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
2483
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
2485
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
2488
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
2489
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
2491
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
2492
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
2494
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
2495
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
2497
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
2498
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
2499
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
2500
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
2501
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
2503
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
2504
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
2506
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
2507
can be slow it is useful feedback).
2508
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
2510
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
2511
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
2513
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
2515
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
2516
output. (Aaron Bentley)
2518
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
2519
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
2522
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
2525
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
2526
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
2528
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
2529
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
2531
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
2532
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
2534
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
2536
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
2537
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
2539
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
2544
* Testing cleanups -
2545
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2546
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
2547
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2548
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
2549
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2550
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
2551
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2552
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
2553
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2554
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
2555
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
2556
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
2557
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2558
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
2559
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2560
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
2561
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
2564
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
2566
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
2567
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
2568
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
2570
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
2571
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
2573
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
2574
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2576
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
2578
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
2579
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
2580
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
2581
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
2582
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
2583
same location. (Robert Collins)
2587
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
2589
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
2591
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
2593
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
2596
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
2599
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
2600
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
2601
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
2603
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
2605
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
2606
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
2607
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
2609
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
2610
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
2612
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
2613
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
2614
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
2616
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
2617
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
2618
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
2620
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
2621
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
2622
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
2624
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
2625
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
2628
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
2629
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
2631
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
2632
(Alexander Belchenko)
2636
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
2637
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
2638
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
2639
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2641
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
2642
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
2643
testing. (Robert Collins)
2645
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
2646
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
2648
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
2649
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
2650
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
2651
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
2652
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
2653
attribute during the test parameterisation in
2654
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
2656
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
2657
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
2658
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
2659
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
2661
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
2662
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
2664
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
2665
avoid useless cloning.
2666
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
2670
--------------------
2674
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
2675
(Colin Watson, #120647)
2677
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
2678
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)
2681
bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
2682
-----------------------
2684
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2686
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
2687
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
2688
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
2689
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
2690
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
2691
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
2692
and unlock() like so::
2694
work_tree.lock_read()
2696
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
2701
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
2702
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
2704
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
2705
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
2706
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
2708
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2709
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2710
too. (Robert Collins)
2714
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
2715
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
2718
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
2719
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
2721
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
2722
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
2724
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
2725
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
2726
understanding what changes have occurred
2727
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
2729
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
2730
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
2731
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2733
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
2734
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
2735
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
2736
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2738
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2743
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
2744
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
2745
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
2746
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
2747
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
2749
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2750
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2751
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2753
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
2754
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
2756
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
2758
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2760
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2761
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2763
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2764
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2766
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2767
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2769
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2770
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2772
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2773
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2775
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2776
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2777
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
2780
--------------------
2784
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2785
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2786
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2787
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2788
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2790
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2791
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2792
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2794
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2795
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2799
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2800
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2801
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2803
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2804
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2805
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2806
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
2808
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
2809
-----------------------
2813
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2814
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2815
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2816
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2818
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2819
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2820
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
2822
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2823
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
2825
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
2826
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
2828
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
2829
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
2831
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
2832
-----------------------
2834
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2836
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
2837
it could be recovered again.
2838
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
2839
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
2840
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
2842
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
2844
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
2845
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
2849
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
2850
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
2852
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
2853
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
2854
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
2855
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
2857
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
2858
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
2860
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
2861
tests with names that match that regular expression.
2862
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
2864
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
2865
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
2866
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
2868
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
2869
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
2870
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
2872
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
2873
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
2876
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
2879
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
2880
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
2881
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
2882
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
2884
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
2887
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
2888
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
2889
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
2892
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
2893
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
2895
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
2896
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
2898
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
2899
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
2900
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
2901
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
2904
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
2905
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
2907
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
2908
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2910
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
2911
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
2912
(Robert Collins, #107125).
2914
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
2915
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
2916
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
2918
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
2919
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
2920
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2922
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
2923
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
2924
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
2925
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
2927
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
2928
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
2929
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
2930
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
2932
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
2933
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
2934
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
2935
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
2936
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
2937
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
2938
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
2939
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
2945
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
2946
code paths. (Robert Collins)
2948
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
2949
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
2950
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
2951
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
2952
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2954
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
2955
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
2957
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
2958
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
2960
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
2961
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
2963
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
2964
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
2966
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
2967
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
2968
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
2971
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
2972
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
2973
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
2974
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
2975
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
2978
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
2979
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
2980
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
2982
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
2983
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
2986
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
2987
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
2988
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
2991
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
2992
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
2993
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
2994
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
2995
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
2997
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
2998
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
2999
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
3000
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3002
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
3003
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3005
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
3006
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
3007
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
3008
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
3009
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
3010
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
3012
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
3013
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
3015
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
3016
help. (Robert Collins)
3018
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
3019
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3021
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
3022
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
3023
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
3024
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
3025
(John Arbash Meinel)
3027
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
3028
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
3029
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
3030
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
3031
useful. (Robert Collins)
3033
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
3038
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
3039
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
3041
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
3042
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
3044
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
3045
properly and is no longer beneficial.
3046
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
3048
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
3051
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
3052
the file, and does it faster.
3053
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
3055
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
3056
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
3057
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
3059
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
3060
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
3061
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
3062
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
3064
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
3065
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
3066
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
3067
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
3069
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
3070
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
3072
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
3073
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
3074
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
3075
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
3078
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
3080
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
3081
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
3083
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
3084
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
3086
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
3087
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
3088
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
3089
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
3093
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3094
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3098
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3099
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3100
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3102
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3103
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3105
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3106
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3107
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3108
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3109
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3110
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3111
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3112
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3114
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3115
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3116
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3118
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3119
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3120
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
3121
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
3122
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3124
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3126
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3127
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3128
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3130
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3131
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
3139
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
3142
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
3143
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
3146
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
3147
-----------------------
3151
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
3152
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
3157
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3158
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3159
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3160
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3161
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3162
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3163
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3164
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3169
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3170
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3171
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3173
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3174
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3177
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3178
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3179
(John Arbash Meinel)
3181
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3182
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3183
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3184
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3185
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3189
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3192
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3193
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3195
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3196
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3198
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3199
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3200
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3202
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3203
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3205
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3206
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3207
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3208
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3209
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3211
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3212
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3213
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3215
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
3218
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
3219
-----------------------
3221
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3223
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3224
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3225
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3229
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3230
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3232
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3233
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3235
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3237
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3238
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3240
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3241
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3245
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3250
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3251
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3252
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3253
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3255
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3256
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3258
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3259
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3261
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3264
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
3265
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
3268
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
3269
-----------------------
3273
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
3274
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
3275
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
3276
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
3277
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
3278
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
3280
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
3281
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
3282
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
3283
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
3284
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
3285
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
3287
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3289
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
3290
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
3291
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
3292
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
3293
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
3294
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
3295
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
3296
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3300
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3301
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3303
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
3304
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
3305
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
3306
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
3308
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
3309
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
3310
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
3311
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
3312
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
3314
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
3317
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3320
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3323
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3324
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3327
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3330
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3331
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3333
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3334
directory. (Martin Pool)
3336
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3337
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3338
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3339
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3341
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3342
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3343
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3344
in docs/configuration.txt.
3346
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3347
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
3350
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
3351
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
3352
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
3353
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
3354
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
3355
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3357
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3358
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3360
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3361
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3363
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
3368
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
3369
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
3370
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
3371
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
3372
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
3373
(John Arbash Meinel)
3375
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
3376
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
3379
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
3380
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
3381
(John Arbash Meinel)
3383
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
3384
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
3385
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
3386
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
3387
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
3388
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
3390
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
3391
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
3392
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
3394
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
3395
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
3396
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
3397
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
3399
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3401
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
3402
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
3403
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
3404
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
3406
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
3407
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
3408
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
3409
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
3411
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
3412
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
3413
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
3415
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
3416
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
3417
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
3419
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
3420
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
3421
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
3422
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
3424
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
3425
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
3426
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
3428
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
3429
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
3430
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
3432
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
3433
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
3434
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
3435
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
3436
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
3437
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
3438
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
3439
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
3440
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
3441
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
3442
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
3446
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
3447
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
3448
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
3450
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
3453
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
3454
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
3455
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
3456
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
3458
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
3459
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
3462
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
3463
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
3465
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
3467
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
3468
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
3469
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
3471
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
3472
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
3474
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
3475
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
3477
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
3478
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
3480
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
3481
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
3483
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
3485
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
3486
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
3490
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
3491
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
3495
--------------------
3499
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
3503
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
3504
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
3505
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
3507
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
3508
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
3509
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
3512
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
3513
-----------------------
3517
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
3518
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
3519
server, then you can write over the http connection.
3520
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3522
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
3525
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
3526
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
3527
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3529
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
3530
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
3532
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
3535
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
3536
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
3537
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
3538
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
3539
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
3540
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
3542
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
3543
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
3544
should enable you to do::
3546
[/home/user/project]
3547
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
3548
push_location:policy = appendpath
3550
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
3551
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
3554
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
3555
for each file. For example::
3557
$ bzr status --short
3563
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
3564
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
3566
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
3568
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
3569
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
3571
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
3575
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
3576
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
3577
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
3578
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
3580
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
3581
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
3582
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
3584
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3586
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
3587
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
3588
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
3589
(Alexander Belchenko)
3591
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
3594
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
3595
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
3597
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
3601
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
3602
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
3604
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
3605
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
3606
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
3607
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
3608
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
3610
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
3611
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
3613
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
3614
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
3616
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
3618
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
3620
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
3621
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
3622
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
3623
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
3624
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
3626
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
3627
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
3628
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
3629
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
3631
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
3632
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
3634
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
3635
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
3637
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
3638
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
3640
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
3641
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)

3647
No changes from 0.13rc1
3649
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
3650
-----------------------
3654
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
3656
(Daniel Silverstone)
3658
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
3659
operations are substantially faster.
3660
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
3662
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
3663
tree from some other url. For example:
3664
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
3665
(Daniel Silverstone)
3667
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
3668
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
3669
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
3670
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
3672
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
3675
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
3676
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
3677
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
3678
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
3679
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
3680
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
3684
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
3685
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
3688
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3689
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3690
(John Arbash Meinel)
3692
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
3693
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
3694
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
3695
(John Arbash Meinel)
3697
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
3698
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3700
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3701
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3703
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3704
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3709
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
3710
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
3711
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
3713
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
3714
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
3715
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
3716
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
3718
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3720
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3721
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3723
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3724
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3725
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
3726
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3728
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3729
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3730
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3732
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3733
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3734
them as full references rather than integers.
3735
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3737
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3738
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3740
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3742
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3743
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3745
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3746
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3748
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3749
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3750
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3751
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3753
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3754
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3755
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3757
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3758
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3760
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3761
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3762
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3763
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3764
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3768
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3769
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
3772
--------------------
3776
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3777
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3778
(John Arbash Meinel)
3780
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
3781
-----------------------
3785
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3786
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3787
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3788
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3790
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3791
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3793
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3795
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3796
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3797
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3798
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3800
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3801
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3802
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3803
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3804
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3806
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3808
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3809
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3813
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3814
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3815
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3817
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3818
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3819
(John Arbash Meinel)
3821
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3822
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3823
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3825
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3826
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3829
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3830
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3831
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3833
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3834
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3835
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3836
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3837
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3838
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3840
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3841
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3842
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3845
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3846
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3850
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3851
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3852
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3855
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3856
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3858
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3859
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3860
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3862
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3863
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3865
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3866
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3867
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3868
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3870
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3871
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3873
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3874
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3875
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3877
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3878
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3880
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3882
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3883
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3888
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3889
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3890
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3891
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3893
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3894
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3895
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3898
--------------------
3900
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
3902
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
3903
-----------------------
3907
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
3909
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
3912
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
3913
-----------------------
3917
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3918
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3919
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3920
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3921
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3922
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3923
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3925
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3926
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3927
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3929
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3931
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3932
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3934
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3935
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3936
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3939
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3940
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3941
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3942
(John Arbash Meinel)
3944
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3945
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3946
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3947
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3950
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3951
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3952
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
3953
(John Arbash Meinel)
3957
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
3958
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
3960
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3962
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3963
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3964
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
3966
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3967
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
3969
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3970
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3972
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3973
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3975
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
3976
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
3978
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3980
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3981
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3983
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3984
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3986
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3987
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3989
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3990
(John Arbash Meinel)
3992
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3993
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3994
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3996
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3997
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3999
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
4000
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
4001
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
4002
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
4004
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
4005
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
4006
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
4008
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
4009
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
4013
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
4017
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
4018
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
4019
(John Arbash Meinel)
4021
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
4022
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
4023
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
4024
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4026
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
4029
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
4030
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
4031
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
4033
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
4034
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
4036
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
4037
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
4038
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
4040
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
4041
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
4042
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
4043
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
4044
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
4045
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
4046
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
4047
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
4048
caller to repeat their request.
4049
(John Arbash Meinel)
4051
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
4052
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
4054
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
4055
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
4057
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
4058
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
4059
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
4060
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
4061
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
4062
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
4063
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
4065
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
4066
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
4067
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
4068
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
4069
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
4070
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
4071
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
4072
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
4075
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
4076
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
4077
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
4079
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
4080
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
4082
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
4083
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
4085
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
4086
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4090
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
4091
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
4093
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
4094
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
4095
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4097
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
4098
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
4099
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4102
--------------------
4105
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
4106
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4108
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
4109
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
4110
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
4111
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
4112
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
4114
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
4115
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
4116
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
4118
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
4119
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
4121
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
4122
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
4123
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4127
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
4129
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
4130
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
4131
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
4133
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
4135
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
4137
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
4138
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
4139
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
4140
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
4142
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
4143
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
4144
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
4145
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
4146
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
4148
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
4149
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
4151
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
4152
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
4154
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
4155
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
4157
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
4158
in handling of revision properties.
4159
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
4161
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
4162
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
4166
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
4167
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
4168
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
4169
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
4170
(John Arbash Meinel)
4172
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
4173
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
4174
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4176
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4177
---------------------
4181
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
4182
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
4183
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
4184
specific one '.bzrignore'.
4185
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
4186
a more conservative list than the old default.
4187
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
4188
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
4189
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
4190
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
4192
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4193
to more locations than just branch locations.
4198
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
4199
revno:N:branch. For example,
4200
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
4201
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4203
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
4204
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
4205
the path of a file that has been versioned.
4206
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
4207
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
4208
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
4209
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
4210
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
4213
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
4214
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
4215
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
4218
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
4219
(Alexander Belchenko)
4221
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
4223
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
4226
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
4227
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
4228
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
4229
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
4230
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
4231
(John Arbash Meinel)
4233
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
4234
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
4235
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
4236
grained analysis of performance.
4237
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4239
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
4240
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
4242
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
4243
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
4244
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
4245
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
4246
file. (Robert Collins).
4248
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
4249
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
4250
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
4252
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
4253
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
4256
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
4257
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
4259
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
4260
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
4261
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
4262
the same way you would apply another branch.
4263
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4265
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
4266
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
4268
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
4271
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
4274
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
4275
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
4276
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
4278
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
4279
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
4280
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
4282
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
4283
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
4285
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
4286
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
4287
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
4288
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
4289
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
4291
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
4292
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
4294
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
4295
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
4296
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
4297
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
4298
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
4299
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
4300
branch is as much as 4x faster.
4301
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
4303
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
4304
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
4305
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
4309
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4311
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4313
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4314
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4316
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4317
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4319
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4320
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4322
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4324
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4325
(John Arbash Meinel)
4327
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4328
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4330
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4331
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4334
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4335
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4337
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4338
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4340
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4341
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4342
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4343
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4345
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4346
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4348
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4350
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4351
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4353
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4355
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4357
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4358
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4360
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4361
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4363
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4364
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4365
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4367
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4368
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4369
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4371
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4372
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4374
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4375
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4377
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4378
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4380
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4381
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4383
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4384
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
4386
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
4387
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
4388
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
4390
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
4392
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
4393
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
4397
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
4398
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
4399
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
4401
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
4402
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
4404
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
4405
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
4406
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4408
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
4409
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4411
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
4412
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
4415
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
4416
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
4417
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4419
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
4420
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
4421
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4423
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
4424
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
4425
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
4427
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
4428
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
4429
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
4431
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
4432
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
4433
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
4435
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
4436
instead. (Robert Collins)
4438
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
4440
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
4441
---------------------
4445
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
4447
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
4448
---------------------
4452
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
4453
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
4455
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
4456
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4458
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
4459
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
4460
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
4464
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
4466
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
4467
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
4469
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
4473
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
4474
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
4475
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
4476
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
4480
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
4481
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
4482
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
4486
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
4487
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
4488
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4492
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
4493
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
4498
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4500
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
4501
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
4502
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
4503
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
4504
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
4505
will keep the same format.
4507
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
4508
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
4509
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
4510
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
4511
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
4513
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
4514
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
4515
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
4516
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
4517
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
4518
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
4519
indicating the current revision of the branch.
4521
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
4522
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
4523
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
4524
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
4525
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
4527
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
4528
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
4529
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
4535
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
4536
convention. Paths now take the form::
4538
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
4540
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
4542
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
4543
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
4545
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
4546
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
4547
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
4549
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
4550
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
4551
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
4552
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
4554
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
4555
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
4556
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
4558
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
4560
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
4562
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
4563
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
4566
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
4567
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
4570
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
4572
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
4573
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
4574
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
4577
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
4579
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
4581
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
4584
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
4585
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
4587
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
4588
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
4591
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
4592
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
4595
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
4597
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
4599
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
4600
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
4602
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
4603
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
4604
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
4605
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
4606
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
4607
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
4609
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
4611
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
4612
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
4615
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
4616
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
4618
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
4619
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
4621
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
4623
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
4624
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
4625
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
4626
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
4627
specification by Martin Pool.
4628
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
4630
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
4633
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
4634
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4636
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
4637
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
4638
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
4640
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
4642
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
4643
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
4648
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
4649
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4651
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
4653
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
4655
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
4658
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
4659
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
4660
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
4661
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
4665
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
4666
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
4667
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
4668
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4670
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
4671
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
4672
tried. (Martin Pool)
4674
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
4677
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
4679
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
4680
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
4681
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
4683
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
4684
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
4686
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
4687
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
4688
paths. (Robert Collins)
4690
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
4691
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
4692
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
4694
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
4695
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
4696
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
4698
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4699
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4700
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4702
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4705
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4708
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4710
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4712
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
4713
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
4714
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
4717
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4718
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4720
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
4721
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
4722
check. (Robert Collins)
4724
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4725
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4729
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4730
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4732
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4733
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4734
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4735
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4737
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4738
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4739
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4740
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4741
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4743
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4744
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4745
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4747
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4749
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4750
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
4757
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4758
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4760
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4761
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4762
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4765
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4766
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4768
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4769
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4770
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4771
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4772
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4774
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4775
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4776
used. (Robert Collins)
4778
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4779
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4782
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4783
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4784
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4786
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4789
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4790
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4794
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4795
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4797
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4799
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4801
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4802
tree. (Robert Collins)
4804
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4805
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4806
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4809
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4812
* Tweaks to short log printing
4814
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4817
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4818
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4820
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4821
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4823
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4824
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4826
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
4827
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4828
settings. (Magnus Therning)
4830
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
4831
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4833
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4834
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4837
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4838
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4840
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
4841
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
4843
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
4844
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
4846
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
4849
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
4850
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4852
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4853
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4855
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4856
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4857
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
4861
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
4863
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4865
* Error when run with -OO
4867
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
4870
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4872
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4874
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4875
ignored by diff and status
4877
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4878
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
4880
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
4882
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4884
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4885
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4887
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4888
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4890
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4893
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4894
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4896
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4898
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4899
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4901
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4904
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4905
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4907
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4911
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4912
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4914
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4916
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4918
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4920
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4921
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4922
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4924
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4926
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4927
(John Arbash Meinel)
4929
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4931
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4932
If adding a new test script please add that to
4933
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4935
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4936
imported. (Martin Pool)
4938
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4939
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4940
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4941
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4942
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4945
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4946
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4947
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4949
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4950
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4951
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4953
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4954
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4955
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4956
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4957
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4960
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4961
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4966
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4967
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4969
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4970
function. (Robert Collins)
4972
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4973
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4974
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4976
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4977
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4980
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4981
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4982
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4983
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4984
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4985
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4986
version. (Robert Collins)
4988
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4989
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4991
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4992
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4993
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4994
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4995
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4996
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4998
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5001
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5011
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5013
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5015
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5018
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5019
query method. (Robert Collins)
5021
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5024
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5027
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5030
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5031
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5032
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5033
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5035
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5036
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5037
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5038
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5040
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5041
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
5048
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
5051
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
5055
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
5056
a separator, not ':'.
5059
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
5060
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
5061
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
5063
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
5064
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
5067
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
5068
has been added that suppresses all output.
5070
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
5073
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from

Goffredo Baroncelli.
5076
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
5077
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
5079
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
5080
a revision. (Robert Collins)
5082
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
5083
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
5084
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
5085
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
5087
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
5089
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
5090
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
5092
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
5093
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
5095
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
5096
output directory, if one was supplied.
5098
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
5099
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
5100
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
5101
parameters. (Robert Collins)
5103
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
5105
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
5106
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
5108
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
5109
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
5110
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
5112
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
5113
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
5115
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
5118
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
5120
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
5124
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
5125
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
5126
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
5128
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
5129
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
5130
related questions. (Robert Collins)
5132
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
5133
is given. (Martin Pool)
5135
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
5136
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
5137
file. (Robert Collins)
5139
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
5144
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
5145
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
5146
representation. (Martin Pool).
5148
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
5149
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
5150
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
5152
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5155
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
5156
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
5159
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5160
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
5161
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5162
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5163
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5165
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5166
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5167
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5168
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5169
python path. (Robert Collins)
5171
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5172
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5173
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5174
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5176
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5177
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5179
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5180
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5183
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5184
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5185
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5187
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5188
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5189
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5191
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5192
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5194
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5195
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5196
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5199
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5200
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5201
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5202
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5205
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5208
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5209
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5212
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
5213
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
5214
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
5216
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
5217
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
5218
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
5220
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
5221
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
5222
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
5224
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5225
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5227
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
5228
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
5229
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
5230
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
5231
caller. (Robert Collins)
5233
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
5234
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
5237
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
5238
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
5241
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
5243
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
5244
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
5248
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
5249
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
5251
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
5252
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
5255
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
5256
--------------------
5260
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
5261
allow directories to be listed.
5263
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
5264
upgrading branch format.
5268
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
5276
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
5277
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
5278
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
5279
high-latency connections.
5283
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
5286
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
5287
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
5289
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
5290
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
5291
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
5292
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5294
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5295
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5297
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5298
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5300
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
5301
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
5302
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5304
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
5305
for files with only a change to their executable status.
5306
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
5309
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5310
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5312
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5313
different partial views of history.
5315
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5316
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5320
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5321
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5322
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5324
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5325
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5328
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5329
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5331
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5334
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5335
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5337
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5338
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5339
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5340
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5342
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5344
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5345
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5348
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5349
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5351
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5352
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5353
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5358
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5359
for your viewing pleasure.
5361
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5362
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5364
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5365
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5366
handling of such circumstances.
5368
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
5369
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
5370
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
5372
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5374
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5375
we call them revisions not patches.
5377
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5378
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5380
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
5381
giving the revision *of that file*.
5383
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
5384
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
5385
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
5389
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
5390
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
5392
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
5393
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
5396
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
5397
--------------------
5401
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
5403
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
5406
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
5408
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
5410
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
5411
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5415
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
5416
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
5418
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
5419
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
5420
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
5421
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
5424
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
5425
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5429
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
5431
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
5432
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
5435
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
5436
--------------------
5440
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
5441
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
5442
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
5443
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
5446
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
5449
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
5450
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
5451
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
5452
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
5453
for the operating system is still tried.
5455
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
5456
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
5457
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
5462
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
5466
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
5468
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
5471
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
5477
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
5479
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
5482
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
5483
--------------------
5487
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
5488
help with intelligent shell completion.
5490
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
5495
* Much better merge support.
5497
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
5498
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
5504
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
5505
mention revisions that are not present.
5507
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
5509
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
5511
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
5512
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
5517
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
5519
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
5520
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
5526
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
5527
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
5532
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
5533
--------------------
5537
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
5538
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
5540
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
5542
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
5543
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
5545
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
5548
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
5550
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
5553
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
5554
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
5556
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
5557
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
5558
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
5563
* Faster working tree operations.
5568
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
5569
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
5570
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
5571
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
5573
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
5574
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
5575
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
5576
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
5577
standard plugins directory.
5579
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
5580
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
5581
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
5582
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
5584
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
5585
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
5587
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
5590
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
5591
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
5592
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
5594
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
5595
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
5597
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
5598
line options must come before the command name because they
5599
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
5600
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
5603
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
5605
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
5606
is available with ``--short``.
5611
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
5614
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
5615
---------------------
5619
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
5620
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5622
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
5623
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
5624
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
5625
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
5627
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
5628
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
5629
with the ``--forward`` option.
5631
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
5632
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
5638
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
5639
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
5641
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
5643
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
5644
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
5646
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
5648
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
5649
either read or write mode.
5651
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
5653
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
5656
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
5658
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
5659
suggested by LarstiQ.
5661
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
5662
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
5664
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
5667
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
5668
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
5670
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
5671
haven't changed since the previous time.
5673
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
5674
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
5676
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
5678
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
5680
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
5681
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
5683
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
5684
options through to an external GNU diff.
5686
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
5689
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
5695
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
5696
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
5698
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
5704
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
5705
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
5708
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
5709
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
5711
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
5712
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
5714
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
5715
under a different version.
5717
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
5722
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
5724
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
5725
Scott James Remnant.
5727
* Better help messages for many commands.
5729
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
5730
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
5732
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
5733
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
5735
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
5737
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
5739
* New AtomicFile class.
5741
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
5746
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
5747
2.4 is now only recommended.
5750
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
5751
---------------------
5755
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
5756
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
