This release adds a translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish.
12
(Contributions of other translations would be very welcome.)
20
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
23
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
24
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
25
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
26
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
27
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
28
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
29
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
30
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
36
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
37
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
38
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
39
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
41
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
42
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
43
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
45
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
46
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
47
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
49
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
51
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
55
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
56
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
58
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
59
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
64
* New helper function for splitting test suites
65
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
71
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
72
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
75
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
76
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
77
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
79
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
80
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
81
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
82
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
89
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
90
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
91
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
95
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
96
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
97
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
101
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
102
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

---------------------
109
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
113
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
114
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
115
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
116
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
122
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
123
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley)
125
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
126
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
128
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
133
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
134
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
136
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
137
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
139
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
140
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
141
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
143
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
144
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
145
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
147
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
150
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
151
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
153
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
154
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
156
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
157
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
159
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
160
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
162
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
163
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
164
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
166
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
167
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
169
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
170
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
172
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
173
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
174
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
175
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
177
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
178
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
181
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
182
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
183
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
185
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
186
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
187
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
188
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
189
every revision each side had in common.
190
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
192
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
193
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
195
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
196
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
197
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
198
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
202
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
203
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
204
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
205
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
207
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
209
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
211
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
212
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
216
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
217
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
218
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
220
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
221
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
222
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
223
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
225
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
226
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
228
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
229
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
230
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
231
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
233
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
234
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
235
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
236
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
240
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
241
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
242
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
244
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
246
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
247
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
249
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
250
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
252
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
253
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
257
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
258
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
259
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
261
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
262
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
263
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
266
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` is deprecated, as a start towards
267
removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
270
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
277
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
278
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
279
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
280
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
281
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
282
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
283
and faster performance.
287
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
288
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
289
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
290
(John Arbash Meinel, Andrew Bennetts, #214894)
293
bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
294
---------------------
298
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
299
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
300
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
302
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
303
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
305
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
306
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
308
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
309
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
310
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
311
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
312
every revision each side had in common.
313
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
316
bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
317
---------------------
321
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
323
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
324
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
326
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
327
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
328
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
330
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
331
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
332
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
333
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
334
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
335
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
338
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
339
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
340
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
341
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
345
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
347
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
348
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
349
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
351
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
352
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
353
See the User Reference for signature details.
354
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
356
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
357
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
361
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
362
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
363
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
364
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
366
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
367
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
369
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
370
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
371
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
374
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
377
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
378
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
379
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
381
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
384
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
385
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
387
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
388
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
390
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
391
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
392
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
394
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
395
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
396
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
397
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
398
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
400
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
401
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
403
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
404
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
408
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
409
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
410
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
411
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
412
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
413
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
415
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
416
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
418
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
419
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
420
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
422
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
423
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
425
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
426
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
427
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
428
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
430
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
431
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
432
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
433
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
434
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
436
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
438
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
439
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
441
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
443
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
444
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
446
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
447
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
451
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
453
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
455
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
457
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
461
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
462
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
463
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
465
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
466
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
467
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
468
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
470
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
471
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
472
release. (James Westby)
474
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
477
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
479
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
480
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
482
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
483
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
485
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
486
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
488
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
489
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
490
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
492
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
493
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
494
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
495
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
497
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
498
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
499
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
500
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
502
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
503
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
504
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
505
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
506
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
507
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
509
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
510
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
511
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
513
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
514
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
516
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
517
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
520
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
521
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
523
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
524
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
526
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
527
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
529
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
530
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
531
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
533
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
534
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
535
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
536
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
537
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
538
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
542
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
543
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
544
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
545
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
547
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
548
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
549
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
550
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
554
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
555
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
558
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
559
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
561
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
563
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
564
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
565
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
569
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
571
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
574
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
575
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
576
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
577
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
578
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
579
(Martin Pool, #109520)
581
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
582
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
584
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
585
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
586
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
587
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
589
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
590
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
592
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
593
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)
599
No changes from 1.3.1rc1.
602
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-04-04
603
---------------------
607
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
608
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
609
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
610
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
616
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
618
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
619
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
620
features have been added.
624
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
626
(#202778, Martin Pool)
629
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-03-16
630
---------------------
632
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
634
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
635
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
639
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
640
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
641
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
642
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
645
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
646
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
647
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
648
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
649
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
650
(Alexander Belchenko)
652
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
653
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
654
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
655
(Alexander Belchenko)
657
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
659
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
660
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
664
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
665
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
667
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
668
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
673
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
675
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
677
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
678
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
679
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
681
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
682
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
684
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
687
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
688
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
689
(Alexander Belchenko)
691
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
692
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
693
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
694
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
696
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
699
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
700
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
701
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
702
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
703
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
707
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
708
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
709
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
710
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
712
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
713
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
715
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
716
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
718
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
719
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
720
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
722
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
723
(#198793, John Ferlito)
725
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
728
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
729
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
731
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
733
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
735
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
736
symlinks (James Henstridge)
738
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
739
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
741
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
742
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
744
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
745
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
747
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
748
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
750
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
751
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
755
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
756
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
760
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
761
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
762
(Alexander Belchenko)
766
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
767
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
772
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
773
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
774
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
776
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
777
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
778
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
779
(Alexander Belchenko)
781
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
782
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
783
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
784
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
786
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
787
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
788
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
791
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
792
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
793
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
795
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
796
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
797
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
799
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
800
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
801
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
802
format. (Robert Collins)
810
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
813
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
814
---------------------
816
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
818
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
819
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
820
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
821
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
822
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
827
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
828
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
830
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
831
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
832
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
834
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
835
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
836
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
837
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
838
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
839
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
844
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
845
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
847
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
848
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
849
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
852
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
853
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
854
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
855
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
856
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
858
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
859
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
860
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
861
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
862
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
863
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
864
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
865
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
869
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
870
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
872
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
873
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
875
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
876
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
878
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
879
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
880
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
882
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
883
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
888
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
889
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
891
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
892
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
894
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
895
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
897
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
898
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
899
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
901
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
902
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
903
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
905
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
906
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
908
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
909
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
910
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
911
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
912
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
914
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
916
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
917
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
920
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
921
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
923
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
924
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
926
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
927
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
929
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
930
more characters which should be considered valid.
931
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
933
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
934
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
936
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
937
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
941
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
942
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
944
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
945
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
950
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
951
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
956
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
957
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
958
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
960
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
961
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
962
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
964
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
965
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
966
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
967
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
969
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
971
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
972
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
973
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
974
server. (Robert Collins)
976
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
977
operate. (Robert Collins)
979
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
980
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
981
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
983
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
984
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
985
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
986
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
988
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
989
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
991
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
992
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
993
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
995
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
996
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
998
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
999
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1001
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1002
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1003
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1004
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
1010
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
1012
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
1013
---------------------
1017
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1018
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1019
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1020
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1022
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1023
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1024
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1025
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1029
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1032
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1035
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1036
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1040
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1043
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1044
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1045
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1047
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1049
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1050
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1051
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1052
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1053
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1055
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1056
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1057
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1059
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1060
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1062
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1065
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1067
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1069
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1072
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1073
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1077
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1078
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1080
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1081
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1083
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1086
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1087
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1089
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1090
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1092
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1093
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1095
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1096
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1098
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1099
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1100
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1102
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1103
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1105
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1106
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1109
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1111
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1112
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1113
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1115
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1116
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1118
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1121
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1124
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1125
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1127
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1130
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1131
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1134
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1135
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
1136
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
1140
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1143
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1144
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1145
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1146
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1147
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1148
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1150
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1154
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
1157
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
1158
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1160
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1162
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1163
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1164
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1167
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1168
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1170
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
1177
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
1178
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1179
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
1181
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1182
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1185
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1186
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1188
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
1189
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1191
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1192
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1194
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
1195
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
1196
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1198
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1199
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1201
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
1202
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1204
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
1205
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
1208
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
1209
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
1211
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
1212
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
1220
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1222
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
1225
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
1227
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
1228

1232
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
1233
---------------------
1237
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
1238
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
1239
by mail to the mailing list.
1244
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
1246
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
1247
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
1248
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
1249
feedback but also incur more latency.
1250
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
1252
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
1253
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
1257
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1259
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
1264
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
1265
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
1266
wraps its output in a StringIO.
1270
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
1271
---------------------
1275
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1277
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
1280
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
1283
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1284
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1285
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
1286
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1288
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
1291
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1292
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1294
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1295
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1296
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1298
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1299
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1300
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1301
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1302
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1303
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1304
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1305
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1306
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
1310
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
1313
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
1317
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
1318
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
1320
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
1322
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1324
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1325
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1327
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
1329
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1330
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
1332
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
1333
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
1337
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
1338
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
1341
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
1342
---------------------
1344
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1346
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1347
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1348
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1349
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1351
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1352
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1354
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1355
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1357
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1358
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1359
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1360
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1361
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1362
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1363
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1364
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1365
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1366
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1367
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1368
from any tree without problems.
1369
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
1373
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1374
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1375
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1377
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
1378
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
1379
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
1384
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
1385
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
1386
supported transports.
1389
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
1390
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
1391
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
1393
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1394
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1396
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
1397
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
1398
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
1399
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
1401
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
1402
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
1406
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
1407
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
1408
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
1409
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1411
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
1412
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
1413
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
1414
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
1416
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
1417
(Robert Collins, #88319)
1419
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
1420
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
1422
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1423
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1425
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1426
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1431
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1434
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1435
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1438
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1439
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1440
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1441
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1443
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1444
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1445
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1446
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
1452
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
1453
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
1455
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
1456
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
1458
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
1459
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
1461
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
1462
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
1464
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
1465
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
1467
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
1468
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
1470
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
1471
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
1473
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
1476
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
1477
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
1479
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
1480
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
1481
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
1483
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
1484
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
1486
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
1487
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
1489
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
1490
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
1492
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
1493
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
1495
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
1496
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
1497
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
1498
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
1500
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1502
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
1503
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1504
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
1506
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
1507
(Robert Collins, #161240)
1509
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
1511
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1513
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1514
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1516
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1517
specify a port in urls.
1518
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1520
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
1521
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
1523
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
1524
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
1526
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
1527
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
1529
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
1530
(Robert Collins, #153789)
1532
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
1533
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
1534
(Robert Collins, #165304).
1536
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
1538
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
1539
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
1541
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
1544
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
1545
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
1547
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
1548
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
1550
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
1551
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
1552
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
1554
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
1555
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
1557
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
1558
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
1559
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
1560
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
1562
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
1563
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
1565
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
1566
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
1567
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
1569
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
1570
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
1572
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
1573
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
1575
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
1576
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
1580
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
1581
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
1583
* The return value of
1584
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
1585
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
1586
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
1587
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
1589
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
1592
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
1593
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
1599
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
1600
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
1601
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
1604
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
1605
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
1607
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
1617
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
1620
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
1621
----------------------
1623
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1627
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
1628
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
1630
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
1631
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
1632
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
1633
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
1634
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
1635
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
1636
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
1637
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
1638
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
1639
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
1640
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
1641
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
1646
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
1647
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
1648
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
1649
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
1650
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
1651
for further details. (Robert Collins)
1653
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
1654
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
1655
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
1658
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
1660
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
1661
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
1663
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
1664
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
1667
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
1668
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
1669
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
1673
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
1674
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1676
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
1677
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
1679
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
1680
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
1681
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
1682
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
1684
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
1687
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
1688
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
1689
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
1690
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
1692
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
1693
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
1695
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
1696
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1698
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
1699
the contents. (Robert Collins)
1701
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
1702
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
1706
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
1707
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
1709
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
1710
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
1712
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
1713
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
1715
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
1716
(Martin Pool, #63894)
1718
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
1719
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
1723
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
1725
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
1730
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
1731
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
1732
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
1734
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
1735
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
1737
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
1738
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
1740
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
1741
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
1742
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
1743
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
1745
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
1746
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
1747
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
1748
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
1749
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
1751
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
1752
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
1754
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
1756
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1758
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
1759
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
1761
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
1762
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
1764
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
1765
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
1767
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
1768
contains a symbolic link.
1769
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
1771
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
1772
(James Westby, #140615)
1774
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
1775
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
1776
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
1778
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
1779
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
1780
(Martin Pool, #144633)
1782
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1784
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
1785
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
1787
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
1789
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
1791
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
1792
directory to detect leaking tests.
1793
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
1795
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
1796
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
1797
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
1799
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
1802
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
1803
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
1805
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
1810
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
1811
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
1813
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
1814
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
1815
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
1817
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
1818
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
1819
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
1821
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
1822
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
1824
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
1825
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
1827
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
1828
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
1831
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
1832
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
1834
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
1835
class that needs it.
1838
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
1839
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
1841
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
1842
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
1843
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
1845
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
1846
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
1847
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
1850
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
1851
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
1852
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
1853
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
1858
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1859
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1860
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1862
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1863
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1864
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1865
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1867
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1868
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1871
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1872
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1873
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1875
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1876
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1877
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1879
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1880
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1882
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1883
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1884
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1886
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1887
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1889
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1890
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1891
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1893
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1894
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1895
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1897
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1898
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1899
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1900
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1902
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1903
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1904
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1905
returned. (Robert Collins)
1907
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1908
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1910
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1911
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1912
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1913
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1916
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1917
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1921
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1922
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1924
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1925
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1926
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1927
makes this behavior available to other users.
1930
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1931
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
1939
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1940
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1941
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1943
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1945
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1946
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1947
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1948
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1950
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1951
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
1955
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1956
----------------------
1958
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
1959
in bzrlib/remote.py.
1962
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
1963
----------------------
1967
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1968
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1969
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1970
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1973
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1974
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1975
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1980
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1981
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1982
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1985
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1986
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1987
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1989
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1990
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1991
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1993
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1994
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1996
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1997
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1998
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1999
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
2000
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
2001
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
2002
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
2003
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
2004
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
2005
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
2007
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2008
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2010
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
2011
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
2012
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2016
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2017
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2019
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
2020
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
2021
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
2023
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2024
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2026
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2027
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2029
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2032
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2033
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2035
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2036
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2038
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2039
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2041
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2042
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2044
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2046
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2049
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
2050
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
2051
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
2052
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
2054
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2056
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
2057
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
2060
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2061
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2063
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2064
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2067
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2068
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2070
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2071
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2073
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
2074
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
2075
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
2076
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
2077
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
2078
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
2079
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
2081
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2082
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2084
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2085
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2087
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2088
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2090
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2091
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2093
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2095
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2097
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2098
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
2100
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
2101
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
2102
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
2104
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2105
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2106
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2110
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2111
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2113
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2116
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2119
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2120
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2122
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2124
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2125
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2127
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2128
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2130
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
2131
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
2132
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
2133
space). (Robert Collins)
2135
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2136
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2139
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2140
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2142
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2143
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2145
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
2146
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
2147
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
2148
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
2150
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
2151
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
2152
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
2155
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
2158
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
2159
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
2160
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
2162
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
2163
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
2164
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
2165
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
2166
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
2170
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
2171
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2173
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
2174
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
2175
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
2176
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
2177
affected. (Robert Collins)
2179
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
2180
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
2181
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
2184
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2185
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2189
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
2190
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
2192
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
2193
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2195
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2196
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2198
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
2201
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
2202
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2206
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
2207
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
2208
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
2209
its version information. (Robert Collins)
2211
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
2212
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2214
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
2215
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
2216
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
2217
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2219
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
2220
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
2221
present. (Robert Collins)
2223
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
2224
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
2225
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
2226
API. (Robert Collins)
2228
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
2229
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
2232
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
2233
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
2235
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
2236
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
2237
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
2238
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
2239
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
2240
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
2242
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
2243
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
2244
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
2246
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
2247
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
2248
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
2249
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
2252
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
2255
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
2256
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
2257
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
2258
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
2259
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
2260
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
2261
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
2263
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
2264
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
2265
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
2266
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
2268
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
2269
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
2270
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
2271
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
2272
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
2273
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
2275
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
2276
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
2277
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
2279
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
2280
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2288
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2289
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2290
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2291
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2292
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2293
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2294
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
2295
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
2300
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2301
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2302
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
2305
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
2306
----------------------
2310
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2311
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2312
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2313
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2314
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2316
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2317
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2319
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2321
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2323
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2324
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2327
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2328
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2331
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2334
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2335
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2337
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2338
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2340
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2341
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2343
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2344
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2346
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2347
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2349
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2354
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2355
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2357
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2358
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2360
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2361
the repository (Robert Collins)
2363
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2364
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2365
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2366
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2367
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2369
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2370
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2372
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2373
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2374
(John Arbash Meinel)
2376
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2377
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2378
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2380
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2381
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2382
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2383
(John Arbash Meinel)
2385
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2386
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2389
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2390
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2392
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2395
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2397
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2399
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2400
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2402
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2403
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2406
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2407
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2408
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2409
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2411
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2412
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
2413
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
2415
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
2416
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
2417
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
2419
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2420
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2422
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2423
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2424
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2425
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2426
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2427
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2430
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2431
(Alexander Belchenko)
2433
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2434
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2436
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2437
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2439
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2441
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2442
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2446
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2447
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2448
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2449
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2451
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2453
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2456
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2457
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2458
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2459
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2460
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2461
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2465
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2466
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2467
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2468
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2470
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2471
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2472
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2473
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2474
tests have been refactored too.
2477
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2478
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2479
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2483
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2484
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2485
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2487
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2488
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2489
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2490
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2491
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2492
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2493
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2495
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2496
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2497
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2498
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2499
(John Arbash Meinel)
2501
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2502
functionality for testing.
2504
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2506
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2507
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2509
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2511
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2514
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2515
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2517
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2518
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2519
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2521
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2524
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2525
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2527
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2528
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2529
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2530
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2532
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2533
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2535
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2536
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2537
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2539
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2542
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2543
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2544
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2545
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2546
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
2547
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2549
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
2550
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
2551
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
2552
many files. (Robert Collins)
2554
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
2555
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
2556
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
2557
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
2561
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
2562
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
2563
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
2565
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
2566
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
2568
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
2569
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
2570
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2574
--------------------
2578
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
2581
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
2582
-----------------------
2586
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
2587
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
2589
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
2590
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
2591
(James Westby, #122656)
2593
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
2594
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
2596
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
2597
authentication header.
2598
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
2600
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
2602
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
2603
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
2605
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
2607
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
2608
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
2610
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
2611
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
2612
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
2614
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
2615
individually and as part of revision ranges.
2616
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
2618
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
2619
(Martin Pool, #109169)
2621
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
2622
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
2624
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
2625
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
2627
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2629
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
2633
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
2634
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
2635
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
2636
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
2637
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
2638
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
2640
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
2641
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
2642
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
2644
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
2647
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
2648
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
2650
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
2651
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
2653
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
2654
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
2656
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
2657
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
2658
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
2659
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
2660
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
2662
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
2663
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
2665
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
2666
can be slow it is useful feedback).
2667
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
2669
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
2670
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
2672
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
2674
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
2675
output. (Aaron Bentley)
2677
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
2678
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
2681
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
2684
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
2685
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
2687
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
2688
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
2690
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
2691
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
2693
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
2695
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
2696
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
2698
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
2703
* Testing cleanups -
2704
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2705
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
2706
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2707
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
2708
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2709
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
2710
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2711
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
2712
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2713
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
2714
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
2715
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
2716
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2717
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
2718
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2719
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
2720
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
2723
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
2725
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
2726
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
2727
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
2729
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
2730
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
2732
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
2733
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2735
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
2737
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
2738
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
2739
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
2740
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
2741
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
2742
same location. (Robert Collins)
2746
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
2748
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
2750
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
2752
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
2755
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
2758
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
2759
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
2760
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
2762
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
2764
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
2765
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
2766
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
2768
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
2769
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
2771
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
2772
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
2773
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
2775
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
2776
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
2777
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
2779
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
2780
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
2781
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
2783
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
2784
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
2787
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
2788
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
2790
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
2791
(Alexander Belchenko)
2795
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
2796
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
2797
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
2798
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2800
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
2801
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
2802
testing. (Robert Collins)
2804
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
2805
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
2807
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
2808
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
2809
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
2810
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
2811
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
2812
attribute during the test parameterisation in
2813
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
2815
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
2816
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
2817
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
2818
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
2820
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
2821
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
2823
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
2824
avoid useless cloning.
2825
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
2829
--------------------
2833
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
2834
(Colin Watson, #120647)
2836
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
2837

-----------------------
2843
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2845
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
2846
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
2847
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
2848
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
2849
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
2850
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
2851
and unlock() like so::
2853
work_tree.lock_read()
2855
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
2860
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
2861
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
2863
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
2864
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
2865
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
2867
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2868
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2869
too. (Robert Collins)
2873
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
2874
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
2877
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
2878
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
2880
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
2881
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
2883
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
2884
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
2885
understanding what changes have occurred
2886
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
2888
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
2889
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
2890
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2892
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
2893
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
2894
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
2895
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2897
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2902
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
2903
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
2904
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
2905
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
2906
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
2908
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2909
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2910
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2912
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
2913
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
2915
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
2917
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2919
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2920
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2922
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2923
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2925
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2926
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2928
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2929
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2931
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2932
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2934
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2935
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2936
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
2939
--------------------
2943
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2944
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2945
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2946
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2947
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2949
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2950
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2951
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2953
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2954
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2958
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2959
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2960
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2962
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2963
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2964
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2965
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
2967
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
2968
-----------------------
2972
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2973
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2974
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2975
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2977
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2978
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2979
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
2981
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2982
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
2984
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
2985
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
2987
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
2988
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
2990
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
2991
-----------------------
2993
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2995
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
2996
it could be recovered again.
2997
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
2998
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
2999
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
3001
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
3003
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
3004
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
3008
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
3009
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
3011
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
3012
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
3013
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
3014
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
3016
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
3017
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
3019
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
3020
tests with names that match that regular expression.
3021
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
3023
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
3024
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
3025
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
3027
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
3028
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
3029
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
3031
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
3032
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
3035
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
3038
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
3039
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
3040
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
3041
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
3043
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
3046
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
3047
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
3048
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
3051
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
3052
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
3054
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
3055
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
3057
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
3058
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
3059
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
3060
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
3063
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
3064
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
3066
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
3067
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3069
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
3070
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
3071
(Robert Collins, #107125).
3073
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
3074
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
3075
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
3077
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
3078
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
3079
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3081
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
3082
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
3083
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
3084
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
3086
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
3087
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
3088
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
3089
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
3091
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
3092
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
3093
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
3094
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
3095
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
3096
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
3097
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
3098
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
3104
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
3105
code paths. (Robert Collins)
3107
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
3108
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
3109
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
3110
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
3111
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3113
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
3114
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
3116
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
3117
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
3119
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
3120
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
3122
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
3123
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
3125
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
3126
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
3127
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
3130
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
3131
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
3132
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
3133
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
3134
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
3137
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
3138
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
3139
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
3141
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
3142
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
3145
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
3146
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
3147
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
3150
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
3151
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
3152
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
3153
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
3154
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
3156
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
3157
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
3158
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
3159
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3161
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
3162
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3164
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
3165
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
3166
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
3167
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
3168
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
3169
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
3171
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
3172
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
3174
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
3175
help. (Robert Collins)
3177
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
3178
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3180
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
3181
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
3182
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
3183
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
3184
(John Arbash Meinel)
3186
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
3187
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
3188
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
3189
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
3190
useful. (Robert Collins)
3192
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
3197
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
3198
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
3200
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
3201
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
3203
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
3204
properly and is no longer beneficial.
3205
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
3207
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
3210
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
3211
the file, and does it faster.
3212
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
3214
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
3215
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
3216
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
3218
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
3219
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
3220
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
3221
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
3223
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
3224
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
3225
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
3226
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
3228
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
3229
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
3231
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
3232
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
3233
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
3234
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
3237
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
3239
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
3240
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
3242
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
3243
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
3245
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
3246
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
3247
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
3248
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
3252
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3253
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3257
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3258
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3259
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3261
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3262
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3264
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3265
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3266
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3267
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3268
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3269
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3270
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3271
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3273
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3274
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3275
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3277
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3278
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3279
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
3280
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
3281
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3283
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3285
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3286
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3287
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3289
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3290
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
3298
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
3301
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
3302
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
3305
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
3306
-----------------------
3310
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
3311
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
3316
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3317
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3318
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3319
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3320
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3321
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3322
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3323
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3328
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3329
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3330
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3332
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3333
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3336
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3337
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3338
(John Arbash Meinel)
3340
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3341
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3342
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3343
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3344
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3348
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3351
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3352
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3354
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3355
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3357
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3358
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3359
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3361
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3362
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3364
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3365
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3366
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3367
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3368
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3370
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3371
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3372
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3374
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
3377
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
3378
-----------------------
3380
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3382
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3383
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3384
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3388
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3389
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3391
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3392
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3394
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3396
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3397
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3399
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3400
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3404
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3409
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3410
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3411
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3412
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3414
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3415
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3417
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3418
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3420
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3423
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
3424
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
3427
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
3428
-----------------------
3432
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
3433
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
3434
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
3435
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
3436
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
3437
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
3439
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
3440
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
3441
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
3442
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
3443
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
3444
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
3446
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3448
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
3449
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
3450
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
3451
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
3452
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
3453
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
3454
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
3455
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3459
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3460
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3462
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
3463
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
3464
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
3465
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
3467
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
3468
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
3469
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
3470
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
3471
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
3473
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
3476
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3479
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3482
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3483
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3486
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3489
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3490
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3492
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3493
directory. (Martin Pool)
3495
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3496
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3497
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3498
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3500
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3501
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3502
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3503
in docs/configuration.txt.
3505
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3506
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
3509
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
3510
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
3511
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
3512
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
3513
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
3514
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3516
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3517
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3519
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3520
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3522
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
3527
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
3528
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
3529
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
3530
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
3531
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
3532
(John Arbash Meinel)
3534
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
3535
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
3538
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
3539
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
3540
(John Arbash Meinel)
3542
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
3543
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
3544
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
3545
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
3546
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
3547
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
3549
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
3550
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
3551
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
3553
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
3554
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
3555
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
3556
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
3558
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3560
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
3561
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
3562
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
3563
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
3565
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
3566
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
3567
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
3568
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
3570
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
3571
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
3572
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
3574
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
3575
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
3576
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
3578
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
3579
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
3580
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
3581
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
3583
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
3584
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
3585
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
3587
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
3588
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
3589
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
3591
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
3592
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
3593
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
3594
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
3595
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
3596
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
3597
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
3598
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
3599
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
3600
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
3601
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
3605
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
3606
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
3607
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
3609
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
3612
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
3613
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
3614
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
3615
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
3617
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
3618
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
3621
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
3622
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
3624
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
3626
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
3627
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
3628
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
3630
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
3631
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
3633
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
3634
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
3636
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
3637
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
3639
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
3640
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
3642
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
3644
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
3645
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
3649
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
3650
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
3654
--------------------
3658
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
3662
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
3663
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
3664
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
3666
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
3667
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
3668
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
3671
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
3672
-----------------------
3676
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
3677
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
3678
server, then you can write over the http connection.
3679
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3681
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
3684
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
3685
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
3686
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3688
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
3689
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
3691
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
3694
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
3695
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
3696
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
3697
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
3698
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
3699
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
3701
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
3702
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
3703
should enable you to do::
3705
[/home/user/project]
3706
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
3707
push_location:policy = appendpath
3709
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
3710
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
3713
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
3714
for each file. For example::
3716
$ bzr status --short
3722
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
3723
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
3725
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
3727
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
3728
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
3730
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
3734
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
3735
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
3736
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
3737
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
3739
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
3740
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
3741
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
3743
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3745
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
3746
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
3747
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
3748
(Alexander Belchenko)
3750
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
3753
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
3754
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
3756
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
3760
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
3761
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
3763
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
3764
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
3765
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
3766
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
3767
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
3769
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
3770
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
3772
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
3773
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
3775
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
3777
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
3779
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
3780
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
3781
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
3782
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
3783
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
3785
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
3786
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
3787
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
3788
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
3790
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
3791
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
3793
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
3794
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
3796
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
3797
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
3799
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

No changes from 0.13rc1
3808
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
3809
-----------------------
3813
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
3815
(Daniel Silverstone)
3817
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
3818
operations are substantially faster.
3819
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
3821
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
3822
tree from some other url. For example:
3823
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
3824
(Daniel Silverstone)
3826
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
3827
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
3828
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
3829
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
3831
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
3834
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
3835
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
3836
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
3837
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
3838
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
3839
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
3843
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
3844
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
3847
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3848
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3849
(John Arbash Meinel)
3851
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
3852
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
3853
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
3854
(John Arbash Meinel)
3856
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
3857
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3859
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3860
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3862
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3863
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3868
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
3869
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
3870
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
3872
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
3873
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
3874
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
3875
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
3877
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3879
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3880
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3882
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3883
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3884
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
3885
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3887
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3888
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3889
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3891
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3892
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3893
them as full references rather than integers.
3894
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3896
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3897
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3899
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3901
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3902
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3904
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3905
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3907
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3908
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3909
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3910
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3912
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3913
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3914
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3916
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3917
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3919
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3920
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3921
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3922
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3923
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3927
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3928
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
3931
--------------------
3935
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3936
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3937
(John Arbash Meinel)
3939
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
3940
-----------------------
3944
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3945
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3946
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3947
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3949
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3950
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3952
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3954
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3955
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3956
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3957
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3959
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3960
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3961
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3962
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3963
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3965
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3967
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3968
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3972
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3973
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3974
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3976
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3977
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3978
(John Arbash Meinel)
3980
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3981
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3982
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3984
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3985
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3988
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3989
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3990
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)

* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3993
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3994
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3995
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3996
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3997
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3999
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4000
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4001
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4004
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4005
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4009
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4010
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4011
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4014
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4015
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
4017
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4018
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4019
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4021
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4022
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4024
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4025
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4026
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4027
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4029
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4030
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4032
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4033
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4034
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4036
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4037
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4039
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4041
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4042
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4047
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4048
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4049
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4050
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4052
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4053
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4054
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4057
--------------------
4059
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
4061
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
4062
-----------------------
4066
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
4068
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
4071
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
4072
-----------------------
4076
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
4077
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
4078
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
4079
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
4080
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
4081
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
4082
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
4084
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
4085
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
4086
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
4088
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
4090
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
4091
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
4093
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
4094
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
4095
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
4098
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
4099
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
4100
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
4101
(John Arbash Meinel)
4103
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
4104
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
4105
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
4106
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
4109
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
4110
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
4111
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
4112
(John Arbash Meinel)
4116
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
4117
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
4119
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
4121
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
4122
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
4123
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
4125
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
4126
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
4128
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
4129
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
4131
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
4132
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
4134
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
4135
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
4137
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
4139
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
4140
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
4142
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
4143
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
4145
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
4146
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
4148
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
4149
(John Arbash Meinel)
4151
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
4152
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
4153
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
4155
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
4156
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4158
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
4159
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
4160
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
4161
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
4163
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
4164
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
4165
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
4167
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
4168
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
4172
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
4176
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
4177
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
4178
(John Arbash Meinel)
4180
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
4181
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
4182
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
4183
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4185
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
4188
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
4189
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
4190
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
4192
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
4193
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
4195
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
4196
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
4197
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
4199
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
4200
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
4201
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
4202
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
4203
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
4204
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
4205
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
4206
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
4207
caller to repeat their request.
4208
(John Arbash Meinel)
4210
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
4211
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
4213
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
4214
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
4216
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
4217
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
4218
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
4219
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
4220
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
4221
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
4222
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
4224
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
4225
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
4226
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
4227
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
4228
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
4229
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
4230
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
4231
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
4234
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
4235
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
4236
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
4238
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
4239
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
4241
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
4242
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
4244
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
4245
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4249
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
4250
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
4252
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
4253
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
4254
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4256
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
4257
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
4258
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4261
--------------------
4264
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
4265
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4267
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
4268
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
4269
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
4270
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
4271
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
4273
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
4274
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
4275
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
4277
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
4278
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
4280
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
4281
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
4282
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4286
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
4288
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
4289
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
4290
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
4292
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
4294
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
4296
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
4297
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
4298
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
4299
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
4301
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
4302
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
4303
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
4304
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
4305
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
4307
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
4308
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
4310
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
4311
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
4313
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
4314
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
4316
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
4317
in handling of revision properties.
4318
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
4320
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
4321
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
4325
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
4326
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
4327
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
4328
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
4329
(John Arbash Meinel)
4331
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
4332
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
4333
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4335
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4336
---------------------
4340
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
4341
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
4342
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
4343
specific one '.bzrignore'.
4344
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
4345
a more conservative list than the old default.
4346
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
4347
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
4348
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
4349
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
4351
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4352
to more locations than just branch locations.
4357
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
4358
revno:N:branch. For example,
4359
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
4360
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4362
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
4363
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
4364
the path of a file that has been versioned.
4365
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
4366
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
4367
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
4368
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
4369
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
4372
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
4373
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
4374
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
4377
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
4378
(Alexander Belchenko)
4380
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
4382
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
4385
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
4386
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
4387
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
4388
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
4389
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
4390
(John Arbash Meinel)
4392
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
4393
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
4394
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
4395
grained analysis of performance.
4396
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4398
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
4399
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
4401
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
4402
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
4403
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
4404
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
4405
file. (Robert Collins).
4407
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
4408
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
4409
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
4411
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
4412
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
4415
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
4416
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
4418
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
4419
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
4420
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
4421
the same way you would apply another branch.
4422
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4424
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
4425
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
4427
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
4430
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
4433
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
4434
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
4435
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
4437
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
4438
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
4439
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
4441
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
4442
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
4444
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
4445
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
4446
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
4447
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
4448
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
4450
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
4451
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
4453
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
4454
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
4455
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
4456
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
4457
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
4458
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
4459
branch is as much as 4x faster.
4460
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
4462
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
4463
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
4464
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
4468
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4470
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4472
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4473
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4475
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4476
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4478
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4479
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4481
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4483
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4484
(John Arbash Meinel)
4486
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4487
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4489
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4490
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4493
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4494
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4496
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4497
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4499
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4500
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4501
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4502
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4504
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4505
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4507
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4509
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4510
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4512
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4514
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4516
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4517
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4519
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4520
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4522
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4523
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4524
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4526
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4527
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4528
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4530
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4531
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4533
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4534
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4536
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4537
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4539
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4540
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4542
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4543
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
4545
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
4546
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
4547
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
4549
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
4551
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
4552
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
4556
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
4557
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
4558
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
4560
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
4561
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
4563
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
4564
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
4565
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4567
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
4568
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4570
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
4571
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
4574
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
4575
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
4576
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4578
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
4579
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
4580
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4582
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
4583
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
4584
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
4586
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
4587
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
4588
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
4590
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
4591
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
4592
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
4594
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
4595
instead. (Robert Collins)
4597
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
4599
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
4600
---------------------
4604
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
4606
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
4607
---------------------
4611
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
4612
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
4614
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
4615
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4617
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
4618
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
4619
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
4623
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
4625
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
4626
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
4628
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
4632
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
4633
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
4634
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
4635
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
4639
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
4640
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
4641
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
4645
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
4646
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
4647
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4651
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
4652
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
4657
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4659
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
4660
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
4661
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
4662
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
4663
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
4664
will keep the same format.
4666
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
4667
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
4668
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
4669
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
4670
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
4672
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
4673
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
4674
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
4675
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
4676
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
4677
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
4678
indicating the current revision of the branch.
4680
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
4681
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
4682
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
4683
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
4684
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
4686
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
4687
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
4688
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
4694
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
4695
convention. Paths now take the form::
4697
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
4699
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
4701
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
4702
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
4704
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
4705
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
4706
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
4708
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
4709
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
4710
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
4711
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
4713
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
4714
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
4715
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
4717
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
4719
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
4721
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
4722
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
4725
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
4726
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
4729
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
4731
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
4732
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
4733
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
4736
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
4738
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
4740
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
4743
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
4744
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
4746
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
4747
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
4750
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
4751
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
4754
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
4756
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
4758
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
4759
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
4761
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
4762
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
4763
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
4764
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
4765
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
4766
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
4768
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
4770
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
4771
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
4774
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
4775
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
4777
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
4778
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
4780
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
4782
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
4783
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
4784
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
4785
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
4786
specification by Martin Pool.
4787
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
4789
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
4792
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
4793
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4795
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
4796
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
4797
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
4799
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
4801
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
4802
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
4807
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
4808
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4810
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
4812
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
4814
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
4817
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
4818
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
4819
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
4820
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
4824
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
4825
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
4826
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
4827
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4829
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
4830
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
4831
tried. (Martin Pool)
4833
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
4836
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
4838
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
4839
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
4840
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
4842
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
4843
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
4845
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
4846
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
4847
paths. (Robert Collins)
4849
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
4850
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
4851
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
4853
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
4854
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
4855
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
4857
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4858
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4859
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4861
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4864
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4867
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4869
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4871
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
4872
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
4873
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
4876
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4877
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4879
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
4880
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
4881
check. (Robert Collins)
4883
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4884
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4888
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4889
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4891
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4892
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4893
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4894
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4896
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4897
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4898
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4899
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4900
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4902
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4903
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4904
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4906
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4908
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4909
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
4916
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4917
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4919
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4920
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4921
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4924
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4925
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4927
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4928
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4929
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4930
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4931
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4933
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4934
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4935
used. (Robert Collins)
4937
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4938
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4941
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4942
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4943
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4945
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4948
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4949
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4953
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4954
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4956
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4958
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4960
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4961
tree. (Robert Collins)
4963
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4964
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4965
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4968
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4971
* Tweaks to short log printing
4973
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4976
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4977
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4979
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4980
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4982
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4983
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4985
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
4986
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4987
settings. (Magnus Therning)
4989
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
4990
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4992
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4993
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4996
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4997
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4999
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5000
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5002
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5003
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5005
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5008
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5009
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5011
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5012
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5014
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5015
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5016
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
5020
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
5022
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5024
* Error when run with -OO
5026
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
5029
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5031
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5033
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5034
ignored by diff and status
5036
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5037
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5039
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5041
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5043
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5044
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5046
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5047
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5049
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5052
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5053
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5055
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5057
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5058
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5060
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5063
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5064
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5066
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5070
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5071
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5073
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5075
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5077
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5079
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5080
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5081
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5083
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5085
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5086
(John Arbash Meinel)
5088
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5090
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5091
If adding a new test script please add that to
5092
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5094
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5095
imported. (Martin Pool)
5097
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5098
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5099
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5100
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5101
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5104
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5105
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5106
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5108
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5109
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5110
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5112
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5113
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5114
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5115
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5116
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5119
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5120
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5125
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5126
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5128
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5129
function. (Robert Collins)
5131
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5132
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5133
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5135
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5136
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5139
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5140
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5141
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5142
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5143
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5144
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5145
version. (Robert Collins)
5147
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5148
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5150
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5151
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5152
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5153
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5154
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5155
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5157
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5160
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5170
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5172
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5174
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5177
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5178
query method. (Robert Collins)
5180
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5183
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5186
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5189
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5190
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5191
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5192
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5194
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5195
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5196
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5197
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5199
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5200
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
5207
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
5210
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
5214
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
5215
a separator, not ':'.
5218
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
5219
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
5220
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
5222
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
5223
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
5226
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
5227
has been added that suppresses all output.
5229
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
5232
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
5233
Goffredo Baroncelli.
5235
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
5236
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
5238
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
5239
a revision. (Robert Collins)
5241
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
5242
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
5243
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
5244
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
5246
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
5248
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
5249
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
5251
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
5252
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
5254
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
5255
output directory, if one was supplied.
5257
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
5258
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
5259
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
5260
parameters. (Robert Collins)
5262
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
5264
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
5265
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
5267
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
5268
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
5269
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
5271
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
5272
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
5274
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
5277
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
5279
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
5283
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
5284
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
5285
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
5287
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
5288
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
5289
related questions. (Robert Collins)
5291
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
5292
is given. (Martin Pool)
5294
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
5295
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
5296
file. (Robert Collins)
5298
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
5303
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
5304
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
5305
representation. (Martin Pool).
5307
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
5308
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
5309
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
5311
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5314
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
5315
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
5318
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5319
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
5320
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5321
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5322
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5324
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5325
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5326
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5327
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5328
python path. (Robert Collins)
5330
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5331
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5332
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5333
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5335
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5336
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5338
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5339
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5342
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5343
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5344
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5346
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5347
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5348
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5350
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5351
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5353
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5354
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5355
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5358
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5359
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5360
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5361
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5364
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5367
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5368
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5371
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
5372
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
5373
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
5375
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
5376
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
5377
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
5379
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
5380
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
5381
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
5383
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5384
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5386
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
5387
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
5388
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
5389
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
5390
caller. (Robert Collins)
5392
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
5393
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
5396
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
5397
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
5400
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
5402
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
5403
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
5407
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
5408
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
5410
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
5411
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
5414
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
5415
--------------------
5419
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
5420
allow directories to be listed.
5422
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
5423
upgrading branch format.
5427
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
5435
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
5436
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
5437
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
5438
high-latency connections.
5442
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
5445
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
5446
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
5448
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
5449
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
5450
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
5451
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5453
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5454
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5456
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5457
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5459
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
5460
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
5461
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5463
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
5464
for files with only a change to their executable status.
5465
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
5468
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5469
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5471
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5472
different partial views of history.
5474
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5475
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5479
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5480
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5481
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5483
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5484
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5487
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5488
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5490
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5493
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5494
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5496
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5497
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5498
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5499
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5501
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5503
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5504
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5507
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5508
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5510
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5511
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5512
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5517
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5518
for your viewing pleasure.
5520
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5521
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5523
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5524
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5525
handling of such circumstances.
5527
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
5528
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
5529
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
5531
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5533
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5534
we call them revisions not patches.
5536
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5537
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5539
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
5540
giving the revision *of that file*.
5542
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
5543
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
5544
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
5548
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
5549
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
5551
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
5552
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
5555
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
5556
--------------------
5560
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
5562
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
5565
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
5567
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
5569
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
5570
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5574
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
5575
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
5577
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
5578
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
5579
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
5580
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
5583
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
5584
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5588
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
5590
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
5591
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
5594
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
5595
--------------------
5599
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
5600
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
5601
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
5602
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
5605
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
5608
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
5609
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
5610
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
5611
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
5612
for the operating system is still tried.
5614
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
5615
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
5616
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
5621
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
5625
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
5627
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
5630
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
5636
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
5638
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
5641
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
5642
--------------------
5646
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
5647
help with intelligent shell completion.
5649
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
5654
* Much better merge support.
5656
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
5657
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
5663
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
5664
mention revisions that are not present.
5666
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
5668
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
5670
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
5671
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
5676
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
5678
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
5679
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
5685
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
5686
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
5691
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
5692
--------------------
5696
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
5697
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
5699
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
5701
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
5702
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
5704
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
5707
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
5709
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
5712
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
5713
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
5715
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
5716
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
5717
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
5722
* Faster working tree operations.
5727
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
5728
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
5729
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
5730
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
5732
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
5733
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
5734
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
5735
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
5736
standard plugins directory.
5738
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
5739
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
5740
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
5741
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
5743
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
5744
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
5746
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
5749
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
5750
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
5751
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
5753
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
5754
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
5756
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
5757
line options must come before the command name because they
5758
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
5759
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
5762
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
5764
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
5765
is available with ``--short``.
5770
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
5773
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
5774
---------------------
5778
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
5779
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5781
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
5782
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
5783
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
5784
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
5786
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
5787
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
5788
with the ``--forward`` option.
5790
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
5791
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
5797
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
5798
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
5800
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
5802
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
5803
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
5805
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
5807
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
5808
either read or write mode.
5810
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
5812
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
5815
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
5817
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
5818
suggested by LarstiQ.
5820
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
5821
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
5823
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
5826
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
5827
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
5829
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
5830
haven't changed since the previous time.
5832
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
5833
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
5835
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
5837
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
5839
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
5840
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
5842
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
5843
options through to an external GNU diff.
5845
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
5848
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
5854
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
5855
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
5857
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
5863
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
5864
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
5867
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
5868
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
5870
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
5871
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
5873
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
5874
under a different version.
5876
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
5881
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
5883
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
5884
Scott James Remnant.
5886
* Better help messages for many commands.
5888
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
5889
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
5891
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
5892
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
5894
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
5896
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
5898
* New AtomicFile class.
5900
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
5905
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
5906
2.4 is now only recommended.
5909
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
5910
---------------------
5914
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
5915
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
5917
* More default ignore patterns.
5919
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
5920
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
5922
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
5924
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
5927
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
5932
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
5933
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
5934
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
5935
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
5936
there are DNS problems.
5938
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
5943
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
5945
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
5947
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
5948
trailing newlines properly.
5953
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
5956
* More tests in test.sh.
5958
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
5959
directory and delete it when done.
5961
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
5966
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
5969
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
5973
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
5974
---------------------
5978
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
5981
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
5983
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
5986
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
5989
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
5991
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
5995
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
5996
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
6001
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
6002
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
6007
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
6011
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
6019
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
6022
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
6023
-----------------------------------
6027
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
6029
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
6030
rather than replacing it.
6032
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
6036
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
6039
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
6040
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
6042
* Performance improvements.
6044
* New global --profile option.
6046
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
6047
the root directory only.
6050
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
6051
---------------------
6055
* More information from info command.
6057
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
6059
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
6060
committing to stores.
6062
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
6066
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
6070
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
6071
installation easier.
6073
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
6077
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
6078
------------------------
6082
* First public release.
6084
* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
