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)
34
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
35
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
36
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
40
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
41
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
42
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
43
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
45
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
46
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
47
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
49
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
50
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
51
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
53
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
55
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
59
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
60
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
62
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
63
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
68
* New helper function for splitting test suites
69
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
75
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
76
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
77
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
78
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
79
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
80
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
82
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
83
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
86
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
87
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
88
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
90
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
91
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
92
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
93
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.

:Codename: san francisco airport
17
* The BZR_SSH environmental variable may now be set to the path of a secure
18
shell client. If currently set to the value ``ssh`` it will now guess the
19
vendor of the program with that name, to restore the old behaviour that
20
indicated the SSH Corporation client use ``sshcorp`` instead as the magic
21
string. (Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #176292)
26
* ``bzr commit`` now has a ``--commit-time`` option.
27
(Alexander Sack, #459276)
29
* The ``BZR_COLUMNS`` envrionment variable can be set to force bzr to
30
respect a given terminal width. This can be useful when output is
31
redirected or in obscure cases where the default value is not
32
appropriate. Pagers can use it to get a better control of the line
39
* After renaming a file, the dirstate could accidentally reference
40
``source\\path`` rather than ``source/path`` on Windows. This might be a
41
source of some dirstate-related failures. (John Arbash Meinel)
43
* ``bzr commit`` now detects commit messages that looks like file names
45
(Gioele Barabucci, #73073)
47
* ``bzr ignore /`` no longer causes an IndexError. (Gorder Tyler, #456036)
49
* ``bzr log -n0 -rN`` should not return revisions beyond its merged revisions.
50
(#325618, #484109, Marius Kruger)
52
* ``bzr merge --weave`` and ``--lca`` will now create ``.BASE`` files for
53
files with conflicts (similar to ``--merge3``). The contents of the file
54
is a synthesis of all bases used for the merge.
55
(John Arbash Meinel, #40412)
57
* ``bzr mv --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #271790)
59
* ``bzr serve`` is more clear about the risk of supplying --allow-writes.
60
(Robert Collins, #84659)
62
* ``bzr serve --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #252834)
64
* Fix bug with redirected URLs over authenticated HTTP.
65
(Glen Mailer, Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Vincent Ladeuil, #395714)
67
* Interactive merge doesn't leave branch locks behind. (Aaron Bentley)
69
* Lots of bugfixes for the test suite on Windows. We should once again
70
have a test suite with no failures on Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
72
* ``osutils.terminal_width()`` obeys the BZR_COLUMNS environment
73
variable but returns None if the terminal is not a tty (when output is
74
redirected for example). Also fixes its usage under OSes that doesn't
75
provide termios.TIOCGWINSZ. Make sure the corresponding tests runs on
77
(Joke de Buhr, Vincent Ladeuil, #353370, #62539)
78
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #492561)
80
* Terminate ssh subprocesses when no references to them remain, fixing
81
subprocess and file descriptor leaks. (Andrew Bennetts, #426662)
83
* The ``--hardlink`` option of ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr checkout`` now
84
works for 2a format trees. Only files unaffected by content filters
85
will be hardlinked. (Andrew Bennetts, #408193)
87
* The new glob expansion on Windows would replace all ``\`` characters
88
with ``/`` even if it there wasn't a glob to expand, the arg was quoted,
89
etc. Now only change slashes if there is something being glob expanded.
90
(John Arbash Meinel, #485771)
92
* Use our faster ``KnownGraph.heads()`` functionality when computing the
93
new rich-root heads. This can cut a conversion time in half (mysql from
94
13.5h => 6.2h) (John Arbash Meinel, #487632)
96
* When launching a external diff tool via bzr diff --using, temporary files
97
are no longer created, rather, the path to the file in the working tree is
98
passed to the external diff tool. This allows the file to be edited if the
99
diff tool provides for this. (Gary van der Merwe, #490738)
101
* The launchpad-open command can now be used from a subdirectory of a
102
branch, not just from the root of the branch.
103
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #489102)
109
* ``bzr log`` is now faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
111
* ``bzrlib.urlutils.local_path_from_url`` now accepts
112
'file://localhost/' as well as 'file:///' URLs on POSIX. (Michael
121
* ``bzrlib.textui`` (vestigial module) removed. (Martin Pool)
126
* New test Feature: ``ModuleAvailableFeature``. It is designed to make it
127
easier to handle what tests you want to run based on what modules can be
128
imported. (Rather than lots of custom-implemented features that were
129
basically copy-and-pasted.) (John Arbash Meinel)
131
* Several code paths that were calling ``Transport.get().read()`` have
132
been changed to the equalivent ``Transport.get_bytes()``. The main
133
difference is that the latter will explicitly call ``file.close()``,
134
rather than expecting the garbage collector to handle it. This helps
135
with some race conditions on Windows during the test suite and sftp
136
tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
141
* TestCaseWithMemoryTransport no longer sets $HOME and $BZR_HOME to
142
unicode strings. (Michael Hudson, #464174)
144
bzr 2.0.3 (not released yet)
145
############################
159
* ``bzr push --use-existing-dir`` no longer crashes if the directory
160
exists but contains an invalid ``.bzr`` directory.
161
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)
163
* Content filters are now applied correctly after pull, merge and switch.
164
(Ian Clatworthy, #385879)

* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)

:Codename: after sprint recovery
192
This release was pushed up from its normal release cycle due to a
193
regression in python 2.4 compatibility in 2.1.0b2. Since this regression
194
was caught before 2.1.0b2 was officially announced, the full changelog
195
includes both 2.1.0b3 and 2.1.0b2 changes.
197
Highlights of 2.1.0b3 are: new globbing code for all commands on Windows,
198
the test suite now conforms to python's trunk enhanced semantics (skip,
199
etc.), and ``bzr info -v`` will now report the correct branch and repo
200
formats for Remote objects.
206
* Users can define a shelve editor to provide shelf functionality at a
207
granularity finer than per-patch-hunk. (Aaron Bentley)
212
* Fix for shell completion and short options. (Benoît PIERRE)
214
* Hooks daughter classes should always call the base constructor.
215
(Alexander Belchenko, Vincent Ladeuil, #389648)
217
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
219
* On Windows, do glob expansion at the command-line level (as is usually
220
done in bash, etc.) This means that *all* commands get glob expansion
221
(bzr status, bzr add, bzr mv, etc). It uses a custom command line
222
parser, which allows us to know if a given section was quoted. It means
223
you can now do ``bzr ignore "*.py"``.
224
(John Arbash Meinel, #425510, #426410, #194450)
226
* Sanitize commit messages that come in from the '-m' flag. We translate
227
'\r\n' => '\n' and a plain '\r' => '\n'. The storage layer doesn't
228
allow those because XML store silently translate it anyway. (The parser
229
auto-translates \r\n => \n in ways that are hard for us to catch.)
231
* Show correct branch and repository format descriptions in
232
``bzr info -v`` on a smart server location. (Andrew Bennetts, #196080)
234
* The fix for bug #186920 accidentally broke compatibility with python
235
2.4. (Vincent Ladeuil, #475585)
237
* Using ``Repository.get_commit_builder().record_iter_changes()`` now
238
correctly sets ``self.inv_sha1`` to a sha1 string and
239
``self.new_inventory`` to an Inventory instance after calling
240
``self.finish_inventory()``. (Previously it accidently set both values
241
as a tuple on ``self.inv_sha1``. This was missed because
242
``repo.add_revision`` ignores the supplied inventory sha1 and recomputes
243
the sha1 from the repo directly. (John Arbash Meinel)
245
* Shelve command refuse to run if there is no real terminal.
246
(Alexander Belchenko)
248
* Avoid unnecessarily flushing of trace file; it's now unbuffered at the
249
Python level. (Martin Pool)
254
* Include Japanese translations for documentation (Inada Naoki)
256
* New API ``ui_factory.make_output_stream`` to be used for sending bulk
257
(rather than user-interaction) data to stdout. This automatically
258
coordinates with progress bars or other terminal activity, and can be
260
(Martin Pool, 493944)
265
* Some of the core groupcompress functionality now releases the GIL before
266
operation. Similar to how zlib and bz2 operate without the GIL in the
267
core compression and decompression routines. (John Arbash Meinel)
272
* -Dhpssvfs will now trigger on ``RemoteBzrDir._ensure_real``, providing
273
more debugging of VFS access triggers. (Robert Collins)
275
* KnownFailure is now signalled to ``ExtendedTestResult`` using the same
276
method that Python 2.7 uses - ``addExpectedFailure``. (Robert Collins)
278
* ``--parallel=fork`` is now compatible with --subunit.
279
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #419776)
281
* TestNotApplicable is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
282
than being looked for within ``ExtendedTestResult.addError``. This
283
provides better handling with other ``TestResult`` objects, degrading to
284
sucess rather than error. (Robert Collins)
286
* The private method ``_testConcluded`` on ``ExtendedTestResult`` has been
287
removed - it was empty and unused. (Robert Collins)
289
* UnavailableFeature is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
290
than being looked for within addError. If the Result object does not
291
have an addNotSupported method, addSkip is attempted instead, and
292
failing that addSuccess. (Robert Collins)
294
* When a TestResult does not have an addSkip method, skipped tests are now
295
reported as successful tests, rather than as errors. This change is
296
to make it possible to get a clean test run with a less capable
297
TestResult. (Robert Collins)
304
:Codename: a load off my mind
307
This is our second feature-filled release since 2.0, pushing us down the
308
path to a 2.1.0. Once again, all bugfixes in 2.0.2 are present in 2.1.0b2.
310
Key highlights in this release are: improved handling of
311
failures-during-cleanup for commit, fixing a long-standing bug with
312
``bzr+http`` and shared repositories, all ``lp:`` urls to be resolved
313
behind proxies, and a new StaticTuple datatype, allowing us to reduce
314
memory consumption (50%) and garbage collector overhead (40% faster) for
317
* A new ``--concurrency`` option has been added as well as an associated
318
BZR_CONCURRENCY environment variable to specify the number of
319
processes that can be run concurrently when running ``bzr selftest``. The
320
command-line option overrides the environment variable if both are
321
specified. If none is specified. the number of processes is obtained
322
from the OS as before. (Matt Nordhoff, Vincent Ladeuil)
327
* ``bzr+http`` servers no longer give spurious jail break errors when
328
serving branches inside a shared repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #348308)
330
* Errors during commit are handled more robustly so that knock-on errors
331
are less likely to occur, and will not obscure the original error if
332
they do occur. This fixes some causes of ``TooManyConcurrentRequests``
333
and similar errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #429747, #243391)
335
* Launchpad urls can now be resolved from behind proxies.
336
(Gordon Tyler, Vincent Ladeuil, #186920)
338
* Reduce the strictness for StaticTuple, instead add a debug flag
339
``-Dstatic_tuple`` which will change apis to be strict and raise errors.
340
This way, most users won't see failures, but developers can improve
341
internals. (John Arbash Meinel, #471193)
343
* TreeTransform.adjust_path updates the limbo paths of descendants of adjusted
344
files. (Aaron Bentley)
346
* Unicode paths are now handled correctly and consistently by the smart
347
server. (Andrew Bennetts, Michael Hudson, #458762)
352
* When reading index files, we now use a ``StaticTuple`` rather than a
353
plain ``tuple`` object. This generally gives a 20% decrease in peak
354
memory, and can give a performance boost up to 40% on large projects.
357
* Peak memory under certain operations has been reduced significantly.
358
(eg, 'bzr branch launchpad standalone' is cut in half)
364
* Filtered views user documentation upgraded to refer to format 2a
365
instead of pre-2.0 formats. (Ian Clatworthy)
370
* Remove deprecated ``CLIUIFactory``. (Martin Pool)
372
* ``UIFactory`` now has new ``show_error``, ``show_message`` and
373
``show_warning`` methods, which can be hooked by non-text UIs.
379
* Added ``bzrlib._simple_set_pyx``. This is a hybrid between a Set and a
380
Dict (it only holds keys, but you can lookup the object located at a
381
given key). It has significantly reduced memory consumption versus the
382
builtin objects (1/2 the size of Set, 1/3rd the size of Dict). This is
383
used as the interning structure for StaticTuple objects.
386
* ``bzrlib._static_tuple_c.StaticTuple`` is now available and used by
387
the btree index parser and the chk map parser. This class functions
388
similarly to ``tuple`` objects. However, it can only point to a limited
389
collection of types. (Currently StaticTuple, str, unicode, None, bool,
390
int, long, float, but not subclasses). This allows us to remove it from
391
the garbage collector (it cannot be in a cycle), it also allows us to
392
intern the objects. In testing, this can reduce peak memory by 20-40%,
393
and significantly improve performance by removing objects from being
394
inspected by the garbage collector. (John Arbash Meinel)
396
* ``GroupCompressBlock._ensure_content()`` will now release the
397
``zlib.decompressobj()`` when the first request is for all of the
398
content. (Previously it would only be released if you made a request for
399
part of the content, and then all of it later.) This turns out to be a
400
significant memory savings, as a ``zstream`` carries around approx 260kB
401
of internal state and buffers. (For branching bzr.dev this drops peak
402
memory from 382MB => 345MB.) (John Arbash Meinel)
404
* When streaming content between ``2a`` format repositories, we now clear
405
caches from earlier versioned files. (So 'revisions' is cleared when we
406
start reading 'inventories', etc.) This can have a significant impact on
407
peak memory for initial copies (~200MB). (John Arbash Meinel)
428
:Codename: after the scare
431
The second in our "let's keep the stable bugfixes flowing" series. As
432
expected this has a few (~9) bugfixes relative to 2.0.1, and no major api
438
* Avoid "NoneType has no attribute st_mode" error when files disappear
439
from a directory while it's being read. (Martin Pool, #446033)
441
* Content filters are now applied correctly after revert.
444
* Diff parsing handles "Binary files differ" hunks. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
446
* Fetching from stacked pre-2a repository via a smart server no longer
447
fails intermittently with "second push failed to complete".
448
(Andrew Bennetts, #437626)
450
* Fix typos left after test_selftest refactoring.
451
(Vincent Ladeuil, Matt Nordhoff, #461149)
453
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors during ``bzr log -r NNN somefile``.
454
(Andrew Bennetts, #445171)
456
* PreviewTree file names are not limited by the encoding of the temp
457
directory's filesystem. (Aaron Bentley, #436794)
462
* ``bzr log`` now read-locks branches exactly once, so makes better use of
463
data caches. (Andrew Bennetts)
468
* Filtered views user documentation upgraded to refer to format 2a
469
instead of pre-2.0 formats. (Ian Clatworthy)
475
:Codename: While the cat is away
478
This is the first development release in the new split "stable" and
479
"development" series. As such, the release is a snapshot of bzr.dev
480
without creating a release candidate first. This release includes a
481
fair amount of internal changes, with deprecated code being removed,
482
and several new feature developments. People looking for a stable code
483
base with only bugfixes should focus on the 2.0.1 release. All bugfixes
484
present in 2.0.1 are present in 2.1.0b1.
486
Highlights include support for ``bzr+ssh://host/~/homedir`` style urls,
487
finer control over the plugin search path via extended BZR_PLUGIN_PATH
488
syntax, visible warnings when extension modules fail to load, and improved
489
error handling during unlocking.
495
* Bazaar can now send mail through Apple OS X Mail.app.
498
* ``bzr+ssh`` and ``bzr`` paths can now be relative to home directories
499
specified in the URL. Paths starting with a path segment of ``~`` are
500
relative to the home directory of the user running the server, and paths
501
starting with ``~user`` are relative to the home directory of the named
502
user. For example, for a user "bob" with a home directory of
503
``/home/bob``, these URLs are all equivalent:
505
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~/repo``
506
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~bob/repo``
507
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/home/bob/repo``
509
If ``bzr serve`` was invoked with a ``--directory`` argument, then no
510
home directories outside that directory will be accessible via this
513
This is a feature of ``bzr serve``, so pre-2.1 clients will
514
automatically benefit from this feature when ``bzr`` on the server is
515
upgraded. (Andrew Bennetts, #109143)
517
* Extensions can now be compiled if either Cython or Pyrex is available.
518
Currently Pyrex is preferred, but that may change in the future.
521
* Give more control on BZR_PLUGIN_PATH by providing a way to refer to or
522
disable the user, site and core plugin directories.
523
(Vincent Ladeuil, #412930, #316192, #145612)
528
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
529
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
530
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
531
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
532
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
533
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
534
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
536
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
537
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
538
(Robert Collins, #3918)
540
* ``bzr dpush`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
541
are present in the working tree. The configuration option ``dpush_strict``
542
can be used to set the default for this behavior.
543
(Vincent Ladeuil, #438158)
545
* ``bzr merge`` and ``bzr remove-tree`` now requires --force if pending
546
merges are present in the working tree.
547
(Vincent Ladeuil, #426344)
549
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
550
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
552
* Don't give a warning on Windows when failing to import ``_readdir_pyx``
553
as it is never built. (John Arbash Meinel, #430645)
555
* Don't restrict the command name used to run the test suite.
556
(Vincent Ladeuil, #419950)
558
* ftp transports were built differently when the kerberos python module was
559
present leading to obscure failures related to ASCII/BINARY modes.
560
(Vincent Ladeuil, #443041)
562
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
563
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
565
* PreviewTree behaves correctly when get_file_mtime is invoked on an unmodified
566
file. (Aaron Bentley, #251532)
568
* Registry objects should not use iteritems() when asked to use items().
569
(Vincent Ladeuil, #430510)
571
* Weave based repositories couldn't be cloned when committers were using
572
domains or user ids embedding '.sig'. Now they can.
573
(Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil, #430868)
578
* Revision specifiers can now be given in a more DWIM form, without
579
needing explicit prefixes for specifiers like tags or revision id's.
580
See ``bzr help revisionspec`` for full details. (Matthew Fuller)
582
* Bazaar gives a warning before exiting, and writes into ``.bzr.log``, if
583
compiled extensions can't be loaded. This typically indicates a
584
packaging or installation problem. In this case Bazaar will keep
585
running using pure-Python versions, but this may be substantially
586
slower. The warning can be disabled by setting
587
``ignore_missing_extensions = True`` in ``bazaar.conf``.

589
(Martin Pool, #406113, #430529)
591
* Secondary errors that occur during Branch.unlock and Repository.unlock
592
no longer obscure the original error. These methods now use a new
593
decorator, ``only_raises``. This fixes many causes of
594
``TooManyConcurrentRequests`` and similar errors.
595
(Andrew Bennetts, #429747)
600
* Describe the new shell-like test feature. (Vincent Ladeuil)
602
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
603
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
608
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` has been removed; use
609
``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding`` instead. (Martin Pool)
611
* ``bzrlib.tests`` now uses ``stopTestRun`` for its ``TestResult``
612
subclasses - the same as python's unittest module. (Robert Collins)
614
* ``diff._get_trees_to_diff`` has been renamed to
615
``diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff``. It is now a public API, and it
616
returns the old and new branches. (Gary van der Merwe)
618
* ``bzrlib.trace.log_error``, ``error`` and ``info`` have been deprecated.
621
* ``MutableTree.has_changes()`` does not require a tree parameter anymore. It
622
now defaults to comparing to the basis tree. It now checks for pending
623
merges too. ``Merger.check_basis`` has been deprecated and replaced by the
624
corresponding has_changes() calls. ``Merge.compare_basis``,
625
``Merger.file_revisions`` and ``Merger.ensure_revision_trees`` have also
627
(Vincent Ladeuil, #440631)
629
* ``ProgressTask.note`` is deprecated.
635
* Added ``-Drelock`` debug flag. It will ``note`` a message every time a
636
repository or branch object is unlocked then relocked the same way.
639
* ``BTreeLeafParser.extract_key`` has been tweaked slightly to reduce
640
mallocs while parsing the index (approx 3=>1 mallocs per key read).
641
This results in a 10% speedup while reading an index.
644
* The ``bzrlib.lsprof`` module has a new class ``BzrProfiler`` which makes
645
profiling in some situations like callbacks and generators easier.
651
* Passing ``--lsprof-tests -v`` to bzr selftest will cause lsprof output to
652
be output for every test. Note that this is very verbose! (Robert Collins)
654
* Setting ``BZR_TEST_PDB=1`` when running selftest will cause a pdb
655
post_mortem to be triggered when a test failure occurs. (Robert Collins)
657
* Shell-like tests can now be written. Code in ``bzrlib/tests/script.py`` ,
658
documentation in ``developers/testing.txt`` for details.
661
* Some tests could end up with the same id, that was dormant for
663
(Vincent Ladeuil, #442980)
665
* Stop showing the number of tests due to missing features in the test
666
progress bar. (Martin Pool)
668
* Test parameterisation now does a shallow copy, not a deep copy of the test
669
to be parameterised. This is not expected to break external use of test
670
parameterisation, and is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
672
* Tests that try to open a bzr dir on an arbitrary transport will now
673
fail unless they have explicitly permitted the transport via
674
``self.permit_url``. The standard test factories such as ``self.get_url``
675
will permit the urls they provide automatically, so only exceptional
676
tests should need to do this. (Robert Collins)
678
* The break-in test no longer cares about clean shutdown of the child,
679
instead it is happy if the debugger starts up. (Robert Collins)
681
* The full test suite is expected to pass when the C extensions are not
682
present. (Vincent Ladeuil, #430749)
688
:Codename: Stability First
691
The first of our new ongoing bugfix-only stable releases has arrived. It
692
includes a collection of 12 bugfixes applied to bzr 2.0.0, but does not
693
include any of the feature development in the 2.1.0 series.
699
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
700
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
701
(Robert Collins, #3918)
703
* bzr will attempt to authenticate with SSH servers that support
704
``keyboard-interactive`` auth but not ``password`` auth when using
705
Paramiko. (Andrew Bennetts, #433846)
707
* Fixed fetches from a stacked branch on a smart server that were failing
708
with some combinations of remote and local formats. This was causing
709
"unknown object type identifier 60" errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #427736)
711
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when doing some log and diff operations
712
on branches via a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #389413)
714
* Handle things like ``bzr add foo`` and ``bzr rm foo`` when the tree is
715
at the root of a drive. ``osutils._cicp_canonical_relpath`` always
716
assumed that ``abspath()`` returned a path that did not have a trailing
717
``/``, but that is not true when working at the root of the filesystem.
718
(John Arbash Meinel, Jason Spashett, #322807)
720
* Hide deprecation warnings for 'final' releases for python2.6.
721
(John Arbash Meinel, #440062)
723
* Improve the time for ``bzr log DIR`` for 2a format repositories.
724
We had been using the same code path as for <2a formats, which required
725
iterating over all objects in all revisions.
726
(John Arbash Meinel, #374730)
728
* Make sure that we unlock the tree if we fail to create a TreeTransform
729
object when doing a merge, and there is limbo, or pending-deletions
730
directory. (Gary van der Merwe, #427773)
732
* Occasional IndexError on renamed files have been fixed. Operations that
733
set a full inventory in the working tree will now go via the
734
apply_inventory_delta code path which is simpler and easier to
735
understand than dirstates set_state_from_inventory method. This may
736
have a small performance impact on operations built on _write_inventory,
737
but such operations are already doing full tree scans, so no radical
738
performance change should be observed. (Robert Collins, #403322)
740
* Retrieving file text or mtime from a _PreviewTree has good performance when
741
there are many changes. (Aaron Bentley)
743
* The CHK index pages now use an unlimited cache size. With a limited
744
cache and a large project, the random access of chk pages could cause us
745
to download the entire cix file many times.
746
(John Arbash Meinel, #402623)
748
* When a file kind becomes unversionable after being added, a sensible
749
error will be shown instead of a traceback. (Robert Collins, #438569)
754
* Improved README. (Ian Clatworthy)
756
* Improved upgrade documentation for Launchpad branches.
764
:Codename: Instant Karma
766
This release of Bazaar makes the 2a (previously 'brisbane-core') format
767
the default when new branches or repositories are created. This format is
768
substantially smaller and faster for many operations. Most of the work in
769
this release focuses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a and
770
previous formats. (See the Upgrade Guide for information on migrating
773
This release also improves the documentation content and presentation,
774
including adding Windows HtmlHelp manuals.
776
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
777
with bugfix-only 2.0.x releases based on it, continuing for at least six
778
months or until the following stable release.
780
Changes from 2.0.0rc2 to final
781
******************************
783
* Officially branded as 2.0.0 rather than 2.0 to clarify between things
784
that "want to happen on the 2.0.x stable series" versus things that want
785
to "land in 2.0.0". (Changes how bzrlib._format_version_tuple() handles
786
micro = 0.) (John Arbash Meinel)
792
:2.0.0rc2: 2009-09-10
797
* Added post_commit hook for mutable trees. This allows the keywords
798
plugin to expand keywords on files changed by the commit.
799
(Ian Clatworthy, #408841)
804
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
805
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
806
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
807
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
808
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
809
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
810
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
812
* ``bzr check`` in pack-0.92, 1.6 and 1.9 format repositories will no
813
longer report incorrect errors about ``Missing inventory ('TREE_ROOT', ...)``
814
(Robert Collins, #416732)
816
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
817
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
819
* ``bzr log stacked-branch`` shows the full log including
820
revisions that are in the fallback repository. (Regressed in 2.0rc1).
821
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
823
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
824
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
826
* Conversion to 2a will create a single pack for all the new revisions (as
827
long as it ran without interruption). This improves both ``bzr upgrade``
828
and ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from local branches in older formats.
829
The autopack logic that occurs every 100 revisions during local
830
conversions was not returning that pack's identifier, which resulted in
831
the partial packs created during the conversion not being consolidated
832
at the end of the conversion process. (Robert Collins, #423818)
834
* Fetches from 2a to 2a are now again requested in 'groupcompress' order.
835
Groups that are seen as 'underutilized' will be repacked on-the-fly.
836
This means that when the source is fully packed, there is minimal
837
overhead during the fetch, but if the source is poorly packed the result
838
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but
839
good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
841
* Fix a potential segmentation fault when doing 'log' of a branch that had
842
ghosts in its mainline. (Evaluating None as a tuple is bad.)
843
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
845
* ``groupcompress`` sort order is now more stable, rather than relying on
846
``topo_sort`` ordering. The implementation is now
847
``KnownGraph.gc_sort``. (John Arbash Meinel)
849
* Local data conversion will generate correct deltas. This is a critical
850
bugfix vs 2.0rc1, and all 2.0rc1 users should upgrade to 2.0rc2 before
851
converting repositories. (Robert Collins, #422849)
853
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
854
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
856
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
857
repository, such as revisions without inventories, a missing chk_bytes
858
record for an inventory, or a missing text referenced by an inventory.
859
(Andrew Bennetts, #423506, #406687)
864
* Fix assertion error about "_remember_remote_is_before" when pushing to
866
(Andrew Bennetts, #418931)
868
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
869
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
871
* PDF and CHM (Windows HtmlHelp) formats are now supported for the
872
user documentation. The HTML documentation is better broken up into
873
topics. (Ian Clatworthy)
875
* The developer and foreign language documents are now separated
876
out so that searching in the HTML and CHM files produces more
877
useful results. (Ian Clatworthy)
879
* The main table of contents now provides links to the new Migration Docs
880
and Plugins Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
886
:Codename: no worries
887
:2.0.0rc1: 2009-08-26
892
* The default format for bzr is now ``2a``. This format brings many
893
significant performance and size improvements. bzr can pull from
894
any existing repository into a ``2a`` one, but can only transfer
895
from ``2a`` into ``rich-root`` repositories. The Upgrade guide
896
has more information about this change. (Robert Collins)
898
* On Windows auto-detection of Putty's plink.exe is disabled.
899
Default SSH client for Windows is paramiko. User still can force
900
usage of plink if explicitly set environment variable BZR_SSH=plink.
901
(#414743, Alexander Belchenko)
906
* ``bzr branch --switch`` can now switch the checkout in the current directory
907
to the newly created branch. (Lukáš Lalinský)
912
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
913
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
915
* Fetches were being requested in 'groupcompress' order, but weren't
916
recombining the groups. Thus they would 'fragment' to get the correct
917
order, but not 'recombine' to actually benefit from it. Until we get
918
recombining to work, switching to 'unordered' fetches avoids the
919
fragmentation. (John Arbash Meinel, #402645)
921
* Fix a pycurl related test failure on karmic by recognizing an error
922
raised by newer versions of pycurl.
923
(Vincent Ladeuil, #306264)
925
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
926
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
928
* Fix IndexError printing CannotBindAddress errors.
929
(Martin Pool, #286871)
931
* Fix "Revision ... not present" errors when upgrading stacked branches,
932
or when doing fetches from a stacked source to a stacked target.
933
(Andrew Bennetts, #399140)
935
* ``bzr branch`` of 2a repositories over HTTP is much faster. bzr now
936
batches together small fetches from 2a repositories, rather than
937
fetching only a few hundred bytes at a time.
938
(Andrew Bennetts, #402657)
943
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
944
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
945
(Martin Pool, #409137)
947
* bzr can now (again) capture crash data through the apport library,
948
so that a single human-readable file can be attached to bug reports.
949
This can be disabled by using ``-Dno_apport`` on the command line, or by
950
putting ``no_apport`` into the ``debug_flags`` section of
952
(Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #389328)
954
* ``bzr push`` locally on windows will no longer give a locking error with
955
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
957
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on windows.
958
(Robert Collins, #305006)
960
* Commit of specific files no longer prevents using the iter_changes
961
codepath. On 2a repositories, commit of specific files should now be as
962
fast, or slightly faster, than a full commit. (Robert Collins)
964
* The internal core code that handles specific file operations like
965
``bzr st FILENAME`` or ``bzr commit FILENAME`` has been changed to
966
include the parent directories if they have altered, and when a
967
directory stops being a directory its children are always included. This
968
fixes a number of causes for ``InconsistentDelta`` errors, and permits
969
faster commit of specific paths. (Robert Collins, #347649)
974
* New developer documentation for content filtering.
980
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
981
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
982
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
990
:Codename: nein nein nein!
993
This release fixes two small but worthwhile bugs relevant to users on
994
Microsoft Windows: some commands that failed on with locking errors will
995
now work, and a bug that caused poor performance after committing a file
996
with line-ending conversion has now been fixed. It also fixes a bug in
997
pushing to older servers.
1002
* Fixed a problem where using content filtering and especially end-of-line
1003
conversion will commit too many copies a file.
1004
(Martin Pool, #415508)
1006
* Fix assertion error about ``_remember_remote_is_before`` in
1007
``set_tags_bytes`` when pushing to older smart servers.
1008
(Andrew Bennetts, Alexander Belchenko, #418931)
1013
* ``bzr push`` locally on Windows will no longer give a locking error with
1014
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
1016
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on Windows.
1017
(Robert Collins, #305006)
1022
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
1023
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
1024
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
1026
* ``Tree.path_content_summary`` may return a size of None, when called on
1027
a tree with content filtering where the size of the canonical form
1028
cannot be cheaply determined. (Martin Pool)
1030
* When manually creating transport servers in test cases, a new helper
1031
``TestCase.start_server`` that registers a cleanup and starts the server
1032
should be used. (Robert Collins)
1037
Compatibility Breaks
1038
********************
1040
* Committing directly to a stacked branch from a lightweight checkout will
1041
no longer work. In previous versions this would appear to work but would
1042
generate repositories with insufficient data to create deltas, leading
1043
to later errors when branching or reading from the repository.
1044
(Robert Collins, bug #375013)
1052
* Fetching from 2a branches from a version-2 bzr protocol would fail to
1053
copy the internal inventory pages from the CHK store. This cannot happen
1054
in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the
1055
version-3 protocol, but it does cause test suite failures when testing
1056
downlevel protocol behaviour. (Robert Collins)
1058
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
1059
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
1061
* Fixed "Pack ... already exists" error when running ``bzr pack`` on a
1062
fully packed 2a repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #382463)
1064
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
1065
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
1067
* Properly handle fetching into a stacked branch while converting the
1068
data, especially when there are also ghosts. The code was filling in
1069
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
1070
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)
1072
* ``RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys`` will fetch CHK
1073
inventory pages when appropriate (by falling back to the vfs stream
1074
source). (Andrew Bennetts, #406686)
1076
* StreamSource generates rich roots from non-rich root sources correctly
1077
now. (Andrew Bennetts, #368921)
1079
* When deciding whether a repository was compatible for upgrading or
1080
fetching, we previously incorrectly checked the default repository
1081
format for the bzrdir format, rather than the format that was actually
1082
present on disk. (Martin Pool, #408824)
1087
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
1088
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
1089
(Martin Pool, #409137)
1091
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the
1092
smart server are more efficient now. They send inventory deltas rather
1093
than full inventories. The smart server has two new requests,
1094
``Repository.get_stream_1.19`` and ``Repository.insert_stream_1.19`` to
1095
support this. (Andrew Bennetts, #374738, #385826)
1097
* Extracting the full ancestry and computing the ``merge_sort`` is now
1098
significantly faster. This effects things like ``bzr log -n0``. (For
1099
example, ``bzr log -r -10..-1 -n0 bzr.dev`` is 2.5s down to 1.0s.
1100
(John Arbash Meinel)
1111
* ``-Dstrict_locks`` can now be used to check that read and write locks
1112
are treated properly w.r.t. exclusivity. (We don't try to take an OS
1113
read lock on a file that we already have an OS write lock on.) This is
1114
now set by default for all tests, if you have a test which cannot be
1115
fixed, you can use ``self.thisFailsStrictLockCheck()`` as a
1116
compatibility knob. (John Arbash Meinel)
1118
* InterDifferingSerializer is now only used locally. Other fetches that
1119
would have used InterDifferingSerializer now use the more network
1120
friendly StreamSource, which now automatically does the same
1121
transformations as InterDifferingSerializer. (Andrew Bennetts)
1123
* ``KnownGraph`` now has a ``.topo_sort`` and ``.merge_sort`` member which
1124
are implemented in pyrex and significantly faster. This is exposed along
1125
with ``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()`` as
1126
``VersionedFiles.get_known_graph_ancestry(keys)``.
1127
(John Arbash Meinel)
1129
* RemoteBranch.open now honours ignore_fallbacks correctly on bzr-v2
1130
protocols. (Robert Collins)
1132
* The index code now has some specialized routines to extract the full
1133
ancestry of a key in a more efficient manner.
1134
``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()``. (Time to get ancestry for
1135
bzr.dev drops from 1.5s down to 300ms. For OOo from 33s => 10.5s) (John
1141
* Install the test ssl certificate and key so that installed bzr
1142
can run the https tests. (Denys Duchier, #392401)

:Codename: little traveller
1150
:1.18rc1: 2009-08-10
1152
This release of Bazaar marches on towards the 2.0 release in which the 2a
1153
'brisbane-core' format becomes generally recommended. Most of the work in
1154
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
1155
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
1156
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
1157
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.
1159
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
1160
with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at least six months
1161
or until the following stable release.
1163
There are no changes from 1.18rc1 to 1.18.
1168
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
1169
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
1171
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
1172
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
1173
(Martin Pool, #391411)
1178
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
1179
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
1180
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
1182
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
1183
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
1184
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
1185
(Martin Pool, #123688)
1187
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
1188
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
1189
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
1190
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
1192
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
1193
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
1195
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
1196
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
1197
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
1198
(Robert Collins, #282402)
1200
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
1201
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
1203
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
1204
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
1206
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
1207
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
1208
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
1209
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
1210
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
1212
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
1213
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
1214
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
1216
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
1217
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
1218
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
1219
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
1220
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
1222
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
1223
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
1225
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
1226
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
1227
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
1229
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
1230
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
1231
(Martin Pool, #408201)
1233
* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
1234
(Martin Pool, #403523)
1236
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
1237
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
1238
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
1240
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
1241
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
1243
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
1244
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
1246
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
1247
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
1249
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
1250
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
1251
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
1253
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
1254
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
1255
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
1257
* Shelve will not shelve the initial add of the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1259
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
1260
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
1262
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
1263
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
1264
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
1265
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
1266
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
1267
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
1269
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
1270
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
1271
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
1273
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
1274
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
1275
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
1276
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
1278
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
1279
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
1280
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
1281
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
1282
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
1284
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
1285
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
1286
(Robert Collins, #187207)
1291
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
1294
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
1295
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
1296
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
1297
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
1299
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
1300
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.
1301
(John Arbash Meinel)
1306
* Added Bazaar 2.0 Upgrade Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1311
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
1312
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
1313
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
1314
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
1315
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
1316
passwords. (Martin Pool)
1318
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
1321
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
1324
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
1328
* ``WorkingTree._check`` now requires a references dict with keys matching
1329
those returned by ``WorkingTree._get_check_refs``. (Robert Collins)
1334
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
1335
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
1336
paths. (Robert Collins)
1338
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
1339
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
1341
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
1342
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
1343
disk. (Robert Collins)
1345
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
1346
it. (Robert Collins)
1348
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
1349
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.
1350
(Alexander Belchenko)
1356
* Merge directive cherrypick tests must use the same root id.
1357
(Martin Pool, #409684)
1359
* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
1360
(Martin Pool, #408199)
1362
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
1363
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
1364
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
1365
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
1366
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
1367
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)
1370
bzr 1.17.1 (unreleased)
1371
#######################
1376
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
1377
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
1378
knit format repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
1383
:Codename: so-late-its-brunch
1384
:1.17rc1: 2009-07-13
1388
Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
1389
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
1392
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
1393
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
1394
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
1395
annoying progress bar artifacts.
1398
Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
1399
*********************************
1401
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
1402
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
1403
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
1405
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
1406
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
1407
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
1409
* ``bzr serve`` once again applies a ``ChrootServer`` to the given
1410
directory before serving it. (Andrew Bennetts, #400535)
1413
Compatibility Breaks
1414
********************
1416
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
1417
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
1418
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.
1419
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #238764)
1425
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
1426
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
1427
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
1428
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
1430
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
1431
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
1432
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
1434
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
1435
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
1436
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
1438
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
1440
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
1441
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
1442
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
1443
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1449
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
1450
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
1452
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
1453
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
1454
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
1455
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
1457
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
1458
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
1460
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
1461
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
1462
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
1464
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
1465
(Martin Pool, #321935)
1467
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
1468
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
1470
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
1471
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
1473
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
1474
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
1475
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
1477
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
1480
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
1481
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
1483
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
1484
of a remote repository.
1485
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
1487
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
1488
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
1491
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
1493
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
1495
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
1496
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
1498
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
1499
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
1501
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
1502
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
1503
(Martin Pool, #339385)
1505
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
1506
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
1507
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
1508
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
1509
(John Arbash Meinel)
1511
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
1512
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
1513
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
1515
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
1516
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
1517
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
1518
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
1519
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
1520
(Robert Collins, #376243)
1522
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
1523
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
1524
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
1525
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
1526
activity display respectively.
1527
(Martin Pool, #340347)
1529
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
1530
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
1532
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
1535
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.
1536
(Jonathan Lange, #217031)
1542
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
1543
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
1544
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
1545
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
1547
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
1548
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
1549
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
1550
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
1553
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
1554
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
1556
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
1557
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
1558
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
1559
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
1560
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
1561
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1563
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
1564
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
1565
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
1566
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
1568
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
1569
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
1570
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
1571
(John Arbash Meinel)
1574
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
1575
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
1576
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
1577
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
1583
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
1584
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
1585
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
1586
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1588
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
1589
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
1590
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
1592
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
1595
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
1596
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
1598
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
1599
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
1600
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1602
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
1603
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
1604
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
1605
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
1607
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
1613
* Avoid bad text wrapping in generated documentation. Slightly better
1614
formatting in the user reference.
1615
(Martin Pool, #249908)
1617
* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.
1623
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
1626
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
1627
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
1628
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)
1634
:Released: 2009-06-26
1636
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
1637
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
1638
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
1641
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
1642
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
1643
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
1645
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
1646
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
1651
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
1652
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
1654
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
1655
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
1656
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
1658
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
1659
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
1660
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
1661
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
1662
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
1663
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
1664
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
1666
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
1667
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
1668
converted data. (Robert Collins)
1670
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
1671
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
1672
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
1674
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
1675
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
1676
that. (Robert Collins)
1678
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
1679
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
1680
repository. (Robert Collins)
1682
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
1683
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
1684
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
1685
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

********************
1720
* Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so
1721
that the output of commands can be safely redirected.
1722
(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)
1728
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
1729
of the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
1730
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
1731
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
1732
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
1733
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
1736
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
1737
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
1738
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
1739
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
1741
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
1742
and more concisely repacks the full history.
1744
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
1745
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
1747
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
1748
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
1749
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
1751
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
1752
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
1758
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
1759
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
1760
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
1762
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
1763
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
1764
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
1765
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
1766
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
1768
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
1769
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
1770
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
1771
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
1773
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
1774
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
1780
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
1781
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
1782
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
1783
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
1789
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
1790
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
1792
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
1793
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
1795
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
1796
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
1797
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
1799
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
1800
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
1802
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
1803
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
1804
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
1806
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
1807
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
1808
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
1809
(John Arbash Meinel)
1811
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
1812
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
1814
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
1815
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
1817
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
1818
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
1820
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
1821
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
1822
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
1823
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
1824
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
1825
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
1827
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
1829
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
1830
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
1832
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
1833
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
1835
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
1836
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
1837
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
1838
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
1839
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
1841
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
1842
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
1843
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
1844
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
1849
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in Russian.
1850
(Alexey Shtokalo, Alexander Iljin, Alexander Belchenko, Dmitry Vasiliev,
1851
Volodymyr Kotulskyi)
1856
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
1858
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
1859
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
1860
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1862
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
1863
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
1864
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
1866
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is deprecated in favor of
1867
``get_user_encoding``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1869
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
1870
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
1875
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
1876
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1881
* ``make check`` no longer repeats the test run in ``LANG=C``.
1882
(Martin Pool, #386180)
1884
* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
1886
* The number of cores is also detected on Solaris and win32. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1888
* The number of cores is also detected on FreeBSD. (Matthew Fuller)
1893
:1.15rc1: 2009-05-16
1897
The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
1898
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
1899
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
1900
revisions introduce the exact same line.
1902
Changes from 1.15.1 to 1.15.2
1903
*****************************
1905
* Use zdll on Windows to build ``_chk_map_pyx`` extension.
1906
(Alexander Belchenko)
1908
Changes from 1.15final to 1.15.1
1909
*********************************
1911
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
1912
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
1913
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
1914
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)

Compatibility Breaks
1922
********************
1924
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
1925
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
1926
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
1927
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
1932
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
1933
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
1936
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
1937
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
1938
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
1939
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
1941
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
1942
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
1943
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
1944
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
1946
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
1947
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
1950
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
1951
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
1952
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1957
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
1958
server. (Jonathan Lange)
1960
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
1961
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
1963
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
1964
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
1965
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
1967
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
1972
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
1973
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
1975
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
1977
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
1978
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
1980
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
1981
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
1983
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
1984
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
1986
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
1987
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
1988
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
1989
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
1991
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
1992
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
1994
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
1995
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
1997
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
1998
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
2000
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
2001
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
2003
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
2004
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
2006
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
2007
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
2009
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
2010
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2012
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
2013
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
2014
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
2015
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
2016
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
2017
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
2018
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
2019
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
2020
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
2021
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
2022
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
2023
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
2024
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
2025
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
2027
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
2028
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
2029
(Robert Collins, #368921)
2031
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
2032
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)
2040
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
2041
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
2042
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
2044
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
2045
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
2046
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
2047
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
2048
(Alexander Belchenko)
2053
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
2054
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
2055
encoding. (Robert Collins)
2057
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
2058
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
2061
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
2062
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
2063
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
2064
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
2065
configuration. (Robert Collins)
2067
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
2068
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
2069
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
2071
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
2072
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
2073
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
2074
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
2076
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
2077
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
2078
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
2080
* -Dprogress will cause pdb to start up if a progress view jumps
2081
backwards. (Robert Collins)
2083
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
2084
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
2085
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
2086
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
2088
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
2089
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
2090
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2092
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
2093
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
2095
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
2096
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
2097
branches. (Robert Collins)
2099
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
2100
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2102
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
2107
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
2108
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

Compatibility Breaks
2159
********************
2161
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
2162
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
2163
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
2164
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
2165
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2167
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
2168
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
2169
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
2171
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
2172
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
2173
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
2174
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
2175
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
2180
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
2181
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
2182
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
2183
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
2184
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
2187
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
2190
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
2191
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2193
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
2194
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
2195
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
2196
directory, not just the directory object itself.
2197
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
2199
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
2200
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
2202
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
2205
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
2206
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
2207
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
2208
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
2211
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
2212
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
2213
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
2214
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
2215
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
2217
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
2218
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
2221
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
2227
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
2228
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
2229
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
2231
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
2232
the data when the target repository does not need topological
2233
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
2234
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
2235
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2237
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
2238
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
2241
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
2242
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
2243
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
2245
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
2248
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
2251
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
2252
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
2254
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
2255
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
2257
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
2258
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
2260
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
2261
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
2264
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
2265
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
2266
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2268
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
2269
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion

about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
2273
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
2274
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
2275
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
2276
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
2278
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
2279
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
2280
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
2281
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
2282
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
2283
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
2284
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
2285
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
2286
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2288
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
2294
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
2295
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
2296
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
2297
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
2298
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
2299
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
2300
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2302
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
2303
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
2305
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
2306
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
2307
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
2308
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
2310
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
2311
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
2313
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
2315
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
2318
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
2319
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
2320
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
2322
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
2323
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
2325
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
2326
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
2328
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
2329
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
2330
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
2332
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
2333
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
2334
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
2335
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2337
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
2339
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
2340
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
2342
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
2343
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
2344
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
2345
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
2346
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
2348
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
2349
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
2350
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
2351
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
2352
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
2353
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
2354
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2356
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
2357
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
2359
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
2360
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
2363
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
2364
(James Westby, #341558)
2366
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
2367
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
2369
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
2370
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
2375
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
2377
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
2379
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
2380
(James Westby, #336998)
2385
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
2388
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
2389
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
2392
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
2393
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
2396
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
2397
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
2398
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
2400
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
2401
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
2402
Meinel, Robert Collins)
2404
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
2405
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
2406
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
2407
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
2410
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
2411
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
2414
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
2417
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
2418
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2420
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
2421
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
2422
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
2423
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2425
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
2426
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
2427
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
2432
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
2433
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
2434
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
2435
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
2436
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2438
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
2439
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
2441
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
2442
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
2443
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
2444
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
2450
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
2451
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2453
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
2454
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2456
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
2457
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
2458
streaming on the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2460
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
2461
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
2462
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
2463
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2465
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
2466
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
2467
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
2468
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2470
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
2471
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
2472
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2474
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
2475
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
2476
dependency. (Robert Collins)
2478
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
2479
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
2480
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2482
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
2483
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
2486
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
2487
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
2488
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
2490
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
2491
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2493
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
2494
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
2495
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2497
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
2498
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
2501
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
2502
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
2503
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2505
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
2506
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
2507
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
2508
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
2509
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
2511
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
2512
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
2513
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
2514
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2516
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
2517
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
2518
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
2519
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2521
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
2522
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
2523
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2525
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
2526
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
2529
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
2530
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
2531
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
2533
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
2534
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
2535
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
2536
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
2537
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
2539
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
2540
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
2541
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
2544
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
2545
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
2546
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
2547
desired. (Robert Collins)
2549
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
2550
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
2551
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
2552
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2554
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
2555
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
2556
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

:1.13rc1: 2009-03-10
2568
GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``. Debug

stacked branches should both be much faster over remote connections.
2572
Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
2573
*****************************
2575
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
2576
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
2577
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
2578
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
2579
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
2580
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
2586
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
2587
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
2588
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2590
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
2591
********************************
2593
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
2594
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
2595
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
2600
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
2601
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
2603
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
2604
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
2606
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
2607
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
2609
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
2611
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
2612
*********************************
2614
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
2615
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
2616
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
2618
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
2619
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
2621
Compatibility Breaks
2622
********************
2624
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
2625
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
2626
command may need to be adjusted.
2627
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2632
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
2633
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
2634
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
2636
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
2639
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
2640
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
2641
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
2644
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
2645
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
2647
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
2648
(John Arbash Meinel)
2650
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
2651
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
2653
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernoij)
2655
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
2656
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
2659
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
2665
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
2666
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
2667
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
2668
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
2669
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
2670
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
2671
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
2672
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
2675
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
2676
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
2678
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
2679
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
2680
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
2682
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
2683
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
2685
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
2686
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
2687
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
2690
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
2691
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
2692
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2694
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
2695
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
2696
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
2697
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
2699
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
2702
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
2703
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
2705
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
2706
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
2708
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
2709
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
2710
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
2712
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
2717
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
2718
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
2720
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
2721
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
2722
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
2724
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
2725
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
2726
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
2728
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
2729
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
2731
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
2732
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
2735
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
2736
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
2737
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
2739
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
2740
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
2742
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
2743
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
2745
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
2746
(James Westby, #174539)
2748
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
2749
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
2751
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
2752
error branching from old repositories.
2753
(Martin Pool, #321695)
2755
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
2756
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
2758
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
2759
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
2760
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
2761
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2763
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
2764
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
2767
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
2768
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
2770
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
2771
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
2773
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
2774
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
2775
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2777
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
2778
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
2780
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
2781
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
2786
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
2787
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
2788
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
2791
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
2792
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
2794
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
2795
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
2800
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
2801
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
2802
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
2803
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
2804
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
2806
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
2807
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2809
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
2810
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
2811
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
2812
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
2813
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
2814
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
2816
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
2817
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
2819
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
2820
"author" argument being deprecated.
2822
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
2824
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
2825
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
2826
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
2827
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
2829
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
2830
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
2831
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
2833
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
2834
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
2835
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
2837
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
2838
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
2840
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
2841
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
2842
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
2843
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
2848
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
2849
free of virtual file system methods.
2850
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2852
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
2853
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
2854
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
2856
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
2857
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
2858
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
2859
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
2860
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
2861
(Robert Collins, #334187)
2863
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
2865
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
2866
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
2868
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
2869
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
2870
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
2871
stream the operation.
2872
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2874
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
2875
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
2877
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
2878
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
2879
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
2880
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
2881
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
2883
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
2884
branch object. (Robert Collins)
2886
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
2887
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
2888
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
2890
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
2891
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
2894
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
2897
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
2898
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
2899
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2901
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
2902
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
2903
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2905
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
2906
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
2907
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2909
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
2910
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
2911
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2913
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
2914
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
2915
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
2916
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
2917
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
2919
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
2920
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
2921
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
2922
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
2923
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
2924
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
2926
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
2927
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
2928
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
2929
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
2930
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2932
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
2933
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2935
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
2936
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
2938
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
2939
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
2940
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
2941
to access private data in record to obtain content more
2942
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2944
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
2945
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

:Codename: 1234567890
2954
:1.12rc1: 2009-02-10
2956
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
2957
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
2958
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
2959
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
2960
by showing the rate of network IO.
2962
Changes from RC1 to Final
2963
*************************
2965
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
2966
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
2968
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
2969
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
2971
Compatibility Breaks
2972
********************
2974
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
2975
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
2976
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
2977
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
2979
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
2980
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
2981
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
2984
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
2985
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
2986
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
2987
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2989
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
2990
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
2991
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
2994
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2999
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
3000
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
3001
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
3004
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
3005
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
3006
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
3008
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
3009
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
3010
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
3011
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
3012
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
3013
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
3014
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
3015
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
3016
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
3022
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
3025
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
3028
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
3029
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
3030
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
3032
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
3033
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
3034
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
3035
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
3036
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
3038
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
3039
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
3041
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
3042
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
3043
level for better precision.
3046
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
3047
rules. (Marius Kruger)
3049
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
3050
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
3051
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
3053
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
3054
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
3055
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
3058
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
3059
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
3060
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
3065
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
3067
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
3069
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
3070
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
3071
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
3073
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
3074
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
3075
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
3076
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
3077
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
3078
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
3080
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
3081
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
3083
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
3084
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
3086
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
3087
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
3088
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
3090
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
3091
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
3092
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
3095
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
3096
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
3098
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
3099
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
3100
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
3101
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
3103
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
3104
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
3106
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3108
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
3113
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
3118
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
3119
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
3122
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
3123
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3125
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
3126
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3128
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
3129
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3131
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
3132
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
3133
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
3134
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
3136
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
3137
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
3138
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
3143
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
3144
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
3145
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
3146
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
3147
compile buffers, are such an example).
3150
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
3151
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
3154
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
3155
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
3156
efficient way of doing the mapping.
3159
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
3160
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
3162
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
3163
formatters to retrict the output.
3170
:Codename: "Eyes up!"
3171
:Released: 2009-01-19
3173
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
3174
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
3175
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
3176
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
3177
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
3179
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
3180
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
3183
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
3184
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
3189
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
3192
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.
3193
(John Arbash Meinel)
3200
:Codename: "Eyes up!"
3201
:Released: 2009-01-09
3206
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
3207
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
3212
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
3213
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
3215
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
3216
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
3217
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
3218
implement other plugins.
3221
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
3227
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
3228
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
3230
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
3231
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
3233
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
3234
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
3235
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
3236
processes which drag in shell extensions.
3239
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
3240
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
3241
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
3242
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
3243
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
3245
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
3246
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
3247
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
3248
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
3249
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
3254
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
3255
control directory. (#139691)
3257
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
3258
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
3260
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
3261
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
3263
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
3264
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
3265
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
3267
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
3268
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
3270
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
3271
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
3272
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
3274
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
3275
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
3277
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
3280
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
3281
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
3282
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
3284
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
3285
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
3287
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
3288
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
3289
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
3291
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
3292
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
3293
in the appropriate sections.
3294
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
3296
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
3297
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
3298
(John Arbash meinel)
3300
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
3301
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
3303
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
3304
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
3306
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
3307
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3309
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
3310
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
3311
work better with how it splits its requests.
3312
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
3314
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
3315
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
3316
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
3318
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
3321
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
3323
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
3324
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
3326
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
3332
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
3333
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
3334
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
3340
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
3341
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
3342
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
3343
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3345
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
3346
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
3348
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
3349
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
3350
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
3351
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
3353
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
3354
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
3355
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
3356
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3361
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
3362
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
3363
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
3365
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
3366
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
3367
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
3368
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
3370
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
3371
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
3372
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
3378
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
3379
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.

* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
3383
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
3384
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
3385
(John Arbash Meinel)
3387
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
3388
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
3389
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
3390
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
3392
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
3393
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
3394
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
3396
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
3397
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
3398
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
3399
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
3401
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
3402
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
3403
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
3404
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
3405
(John Arbash Meinel)
3407
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
3408
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
3410
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
3411
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
3412
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
3414
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
3415
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
3416
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
3417
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
3419
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
3420
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
3421
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
3422
(John Arbash Meinel)
3424
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
3425
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
3426
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
3427
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
3428
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
3429
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
3430
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
3432
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
3433
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)

:Released: 2008-12-05
3442
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
3443
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
3444
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
3445
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
3448
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
3453
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
3454
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
3455
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
3456
(Martin Pool, #303856)
3458
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
3459
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
3460
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
3461
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
3462
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
3468
:Released: 2008-11-28
3470
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
3471
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
3472
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
3473
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
3474
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
3479
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
3480
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3482
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
3488
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
3489
history just to set the last revision info.
3490
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3492
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
3493
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
3494
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
3495
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3497
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
3498
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
3499
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
3500
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
3501
(John Arbash Meinel)
3503
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
3504
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3506
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
3507
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
3508
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
3509
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
3510
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
3512
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
3513
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
3514
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
3515
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
3520
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
3521
(Martin Pool, #289148)
3523
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
3524
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
3526
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
3527
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
3528
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
3529
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
3531
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
3532
starting with a dotted revno.
3533
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
3535
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
3536
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
3537
(Martin Pool, #288751)
3539
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
3540
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
3541
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
3543
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
3544
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
3545
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
3547
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
3548
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
3549
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
3550
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
3552
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
3553
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
3554
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
3556
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
3557
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
3562
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
3563
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
3564
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
3565
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
3567
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
3568
have changed incompatibly.
3570
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
3571
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
3572
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
3573
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
3574
don't need to change.
3576
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
3577
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
3582
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
3583
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
3585
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
3591
:Released: 2008-11-07
3593
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
3594
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
3595
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
3596
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
3597
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
3598
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
3603
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
3604
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
3606
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
3608
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
3609
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
3610
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
3616
:Released: 2008-10-31
3621
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
3622
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
3624
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
3625
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
3626
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
3627
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
3632
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
3633
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
3634
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
3635
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
3636
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
3637
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
3639
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
3640
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
3642
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
3643
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
3644
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
3646
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
3647
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
3648
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
3651
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
3652
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
3654
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
3655
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
3657
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
3658
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
3660
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
3661
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
3662
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
3663
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
3664
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
3665
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
3666
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
3667
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
3668
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
3669
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
3674
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
3675
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
3677
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
3678
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
3680
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
3681
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
3682
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
3684
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
3685
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
3686
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
3688
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
3689
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
3690
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
3692
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
3693
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
3694
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
3695
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
3696
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
3697
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
3699
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
3700
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
3702
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
3703
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
3705
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
3706
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
3707
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
3708
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
3709
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
3711
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
3712
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
3713
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
3714
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
3719
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
3724
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
3729
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
3730
configuration of authetication credentials.
3736
:Released: 2008-10-16
3738
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
3739
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
3740
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
3741
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
3742
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
3747
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
3748
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
3753
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
3754
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
3760
:Released: 2008-10-07
3765
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
3766
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
3767
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
3768
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
3769
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
3771
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
3772
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
3774
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
3775
server. (Marius Kruger)
3777
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
3778
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
3779
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
3780
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
3781
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
3782
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
3787
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
3788
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
3789
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
3791
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
3796
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
3797
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
3798
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
3799
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
3801
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
3802
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
3805
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
3806
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
3809
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
3812
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
3814
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
3815
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
3817
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
3818
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
3820
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
3821
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
3822
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
3823
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
3824
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
3825
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
3826
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
3827
operations. (Robert Collins)
3829
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
3831
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
3832
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
3833
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
3838
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
3839
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
3840
(Martin Pool, #279381)
3842
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
3843
repository now preserves the repository format.
3844
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
3846
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
3847
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
3849
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
3850
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
3852
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
3854
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
3856
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
3859
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
3860
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
3861
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
3863
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
3864
is in a different repository than the current one.
3865
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
3867
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
3868
(David Futcher, #242106)
3870
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
3871
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3873
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
3874
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
3875
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
3876
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
3878
* Trivial documentation fix.
3879
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
3881
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
3882
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
3883
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
3884
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
3889
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
3894
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
3895
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
3896
to use. (Robert Collins)
3898
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
3899
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
3900
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
3902
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
3903
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
3904
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
3905
they want. (Robert Collins)
3910
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
3911
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
3912
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
3914
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
3915
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
3918
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
3921
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
3922
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
3924
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
3930
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
3931
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
3933
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
3934
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
3935
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
3937
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
3938
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
3939
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
3941
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
3942
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3944
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
3945
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
3947
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
3948
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
3950
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
3951
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
3952
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
3953
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept

:Released: 2008-09-24
3971
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
3972
file paths when we encounter complex history.
3977
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
3978
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
3979
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
3980
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.

:Released: 2008-09-23
3989
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
3990
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
3991
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
3992
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
3993
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
3994
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
3999
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
4000
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
4001
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
4007
:Released: 2008-09-17
4009
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
4010
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
4011
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
4012
connect to the stacked-on location.
4017
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
4018
repository now preserves the repository format.
4019
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
4021
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
4022
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
4024
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
4027
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
4034
:Released: 2008-09-09
4036
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
4037
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
4038
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
4039
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
4040
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
4041
it in a future repository format.
4047
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
4050
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
4051
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
4052
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
4054
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
4055
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
4056
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
4061
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
4062
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
4064
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
4069
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
4070
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
4073
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
4074
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
4076
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
4077
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
4080
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
4081
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
4082
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
4083
(John Arbash Meinel)
4085
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
4086
(Martin Pool, #261315)
4088
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
4089
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
4090
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
4091
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
4092
(John Arbash Meinel)
4094
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
4095
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
4096
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
4097
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
4098
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
4099
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
4100
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
4101
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
4102
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
4103
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
4108
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
4109
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
4111
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
4112
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
4113
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
4115
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
4116
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
4117
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
4119
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
4120
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
4121
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
4122
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
4123
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
4124
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
4126
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
4127
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
4129
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
4130
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
4132
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
4133
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
4134
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
4135
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
4136
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
4137
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
4139
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
4140
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
4142
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
4143
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
4145
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
4146
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
4147
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
4148
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
4150
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
4151
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
4153
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
4154
assuming the host name is ascii.
4155
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
4157
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
4158
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
4163
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
4168
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
4170
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
4171
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
4172
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
4175
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
4176
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4178
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
4179
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
4181
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
4182
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
4187
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
4188
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
4189
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
4190
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
4192
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
4196
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
4197
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
4198
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4200
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
4206
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
4207
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
4210
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
4211
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
4212
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
4213
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
4214
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4216
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
4217
is unknown in both source and target.
4218
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
4220
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
4221
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
4222
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
4223
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
4225
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
4226
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
4227
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
4228
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
4234
:Released: 2008-09-05
4236
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
4237
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
4238
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
4244
:Released: 2008-09-03
4249
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
4250
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
4251
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
4252
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
4258
:Released: 2008-08-29
4260
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
4261
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
4262
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
4263
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
4264
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
4265
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
4266
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
4267
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
4268
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
4269
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
4270
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
4271
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
4276
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
4277
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
4278
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
4279
start of the string (causing more copies).
4280
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
4281
especially for projects with large files.
4282
(John Arbash Meinel)
4284
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
4285
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
4286
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
4287
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
4288
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
4290
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
4291
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
4292
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
4293
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
4294
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

:Released: 2008-08-25
4303
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
4304
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
4305
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
4306
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
4307
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
4308
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
4309
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
4310
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
4311
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
4317
:Released: 2008-08-19
4322
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
4323
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
4324
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
4325
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
4326
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
4332
:Released: 2008-08-18
4337
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
4338
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
4339
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
4345
:Released: 2008-08-14
4350
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
4351
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
4357
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
4358
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
4359
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
4365
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
4366
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
4367
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
4369
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
4370
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
4371
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
4372
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
4373
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
4374
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
4375
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
4381
:Released: 2008-08-13
4383
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
4389
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
4390
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
4392
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
4393
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
4396
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
4397
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
4398
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
4399
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
4400
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
4402
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
4403
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4405
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
4406
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
4408
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
4409
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
4411
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
4412
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
4413
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
4414
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
4415
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
4416
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
4422
:Released: 2008-08-06
4424
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
4425
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
4426
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
4427
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
4428
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
4433
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
4434
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
4435
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
4440
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
4441
check. (Daniel Watkins)
4443
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
4444
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
4446
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
4447
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
4448
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4450
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
4453
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
4454
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
4455
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
4456
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
4457
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
4458
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
4459
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
4461
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
4462
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
4463
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
4468
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
4469
physical repository boundaries.
4470
(Martin Pool, #252428)
4472
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
4473
(Martin Pool, #206258)
4475
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
4476
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
4479
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
4482
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
4483
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
4484
that Python is running from.
4485
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
4487
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
4488
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
4489
(Robert Collins, #150438)
4491
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
4492
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
4494
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
4495
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
4496
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
4498
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
4499
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
4501
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
4502
(James Westby, #248448)
4507
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
4508
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
4509
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
4512
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
4513
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
4516
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
4517
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
4518
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
4519
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
4520
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
4521
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
4524
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
4525
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
4527
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
4528
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
4529
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
4530
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
4531
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
4532
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
4537
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
4538
putting together a real history without having to create a full
4539
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
4540
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
4541
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
4542
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4544
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
4545
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
4546
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
4548
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
4551
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
4552
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
4554
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
4561
:Released: 2008-07-17
4563
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
4564
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
4565
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
4566
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
4572
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
4573
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
4574
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
4576
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
4577
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
4578
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
4579
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
4580
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
4583
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
4585
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
4586
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
4587
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
4593
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
4594
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
4597
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
4598
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
4599
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
4600
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
4602
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
4603
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
4604
(Christophe Troestler)
4606
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
4607
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
4609
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
4610
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
4611
faster. The new request method name is
4612
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4617
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
4618
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
4619
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
4620
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
4621
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
4623
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
4624
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
4626
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
4627
requires a branch to be present.
4628
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
4630
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
4632
(Martin Pool, #205230)
4634
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
4635
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
4636
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
4637
(Martin Pool, #240161)
4639
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
4640
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
4642
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
4644
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
4646
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
4647
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
4648
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
4649
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
4650
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
4652
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
4653
(Martin Pool, #172870)
4655
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
4656
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
4658
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
4660
(Matt McClure, #209281)
4662
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
4663
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
4665
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
4666
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
4671
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
4674
* Updated developer documentation.
4680
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
4681
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
4683
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
4684
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
4685
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
4686
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
4691
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
4692
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
4693
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
4694
Repository docstring for more details.
4697
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
4698
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
4699
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
4701
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
4702
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
4705
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
4706
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
4707
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
4708
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
4713
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
4714
(Alexander Belchenko)
4716
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
4717
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
4718
containing a given location.
4721
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
4722
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
4723
storage. (Robert Collins)
4725
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
4728
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
4729
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
4736
:Released: 2008-06-10
4738
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
4739
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
4740
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
4746
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
4747
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
4748
reading from the repository.)
4749
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
4751
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
4752
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
4754
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
4755
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
4758
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
4759
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
4760
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
4762
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
4763
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
4764
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
4766
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
4767
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
4769
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
4770
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
4771
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
4772
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
4777
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
4779
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
4780
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
4781
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
4784
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
4785
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
4790
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
4795
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
4796
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
4801
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
4802
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
4803
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
4804
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
4805
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
4807
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
4808
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
4813
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
4814
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
4816
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
4817
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
4822
:Released: 2008-06-02
4824
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
4825
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
4826
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
4827
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
4828
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
4829
and future extensions.
4832
Notes When Upgrading
4833
********************
4835
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
4836
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
4837
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
4838
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
4839
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
4840
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
4841
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
4842
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
4847
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
4848
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
4849
(John Arbash Meinel)
4854
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
4855
load. (James Westby)
4860
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
4861
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
4862
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
4863
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4865
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
4866
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
4867
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
4869
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
4870
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
4872
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
4873
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
4874
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
4876
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
4877
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
4878
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
4879
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
4880
step closer to not using full revision history.
4881
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
4886
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
4887
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
4889
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
4890
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
4892
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
4893
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
4895
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
4896
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
4897
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
4898
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
4900
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
4901
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
4902
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
4903
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
4905
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
4906
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
4907
in use by another process.
4910
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
4911
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
4912
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
4913
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
4915
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
4916
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
4918
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
4919
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
4920
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
4922
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
4923
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
4924
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
4926
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
4928
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
4930
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
4931
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
4933
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
4934
under vim on Mac OS X.
4935
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
4937
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
4938
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
4943
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
4944
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
4946
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
4947
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
4950
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
4951
and about use of Python reprs.
4952
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
4954
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
4959
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
4962
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
4963
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
4965
* New helper function for splitting test suites
4966
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
4971
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
4972
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
4973
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
4974
(John Arbash Meinel)
4979
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
4980
instead. (Martin Pool)
4982
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
4983
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
4984
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
4985
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
4987
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
4988
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
4989
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
4990
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
4991
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
4993
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
4994
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
4995
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
4996
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
4997
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
4998
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
5000
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
5001
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
5004
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
5005
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
5008
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
5009
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
5010
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
5011
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
5013
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
5014
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
5015
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
5017
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
5018
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
5019
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
5020
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
5021
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
5024
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
5025
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
5026
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
5027
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
5030
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
5031
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
5032
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
5033
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
5034
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
5036
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.

5045
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
101
5046
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
102
5047
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
106
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
107
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
108
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
112
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
113
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

---------------------
120
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
124
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
125
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
126
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
127
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
133
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
134
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley)
136
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
137
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
139
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
144
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
145
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
147
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
148
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
150
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
151
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
152
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
154
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
155
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
156
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
158
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
161
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
162
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
164
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
165
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
167
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
168
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
170
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
171
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
173
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
174
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
175
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
177
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
178
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
180
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
181
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
183
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
184
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
185
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
186
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
188
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
189
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
192
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
193
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
194
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
196
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
197
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
198
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
199
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
200
every revision each side had in common.
201
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
203
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
204
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
206
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
207
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
208
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
209
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
213
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
214
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
215
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
216
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
218
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
220
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
222
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
223
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
227
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
228
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
229
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
231
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
232
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
233
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
234
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
236
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
237
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
239
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
240
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
241
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
242
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
244
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
245
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
246
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
247
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
251
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
252
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
253
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
255
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
257
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
258
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
260
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
261
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
263
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
264
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
268
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
269
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
270
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
272
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
273
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
274
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
277
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` is deprecated, as a start towards
278
removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
281
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
5052
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
5053
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
5054
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
5059
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
5060
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
5067
:Released: 2008-05-09
5072
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
5073
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
5074
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
5075
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
5080
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
5081
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
5083
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
5084
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
5086
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
5092
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
5093
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
5095
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
5096
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
5098
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
5099
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
5100
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
5102
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
5103
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
5104
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
5106
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
5109
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
5110
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
5112
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
5113
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
5115
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
5116
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
5118
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
5119
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
5121
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
5122
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
5123
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
5125
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
5126
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
5128
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
5129
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
5131
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
5132
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
5133
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
5134
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
5136
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
5137
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
5140
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
5141
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
5142
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
5144
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
5145
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
5146
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
5147
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
5148
every revision each side had in common.
5149
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5151
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
5152
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
5154
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
5155
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
5156
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
5157
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
5162
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
5163
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
5164
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
5165
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
5167
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
5169
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
5171
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
5172
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
5177
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
5178
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
5179
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
5181
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
5182
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the -D
5183
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
5184
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
5186
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
5187
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5189
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
5190
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
5191
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
5192
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5194
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
5195
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
5196
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
5197
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
5202
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
5203
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
5204
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
5206
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
5208
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
5209
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
5211
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
5212
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5214
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
5215
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
5220
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
5221
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
5222
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
5224
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
5225
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
5226
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
5229
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
5230
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
5233
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
5240
:Released: 2008-04-28
288
5242
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
289
5243
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
630
5605
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
631
5606
features have been added.
635
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
637
(#202778, Martin Pool)
640
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-03-16
641
---------------------
643
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
645
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
646
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
650
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
651
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
652
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
653
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
656
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
657
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
658
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
659
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
660
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
661
(Alexander Belchenko)
663
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
664
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
665
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
666
(Alexander Belchenko)
668
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
670
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
671
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
675
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
676
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
678
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
679
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
684
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
686
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
688
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
689
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
690
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
692
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
693
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
695
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
698
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
699
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
700
(Alexander Belchenko)
702
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
703
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
704
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
705
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
707
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
710
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
711
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
712
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
713
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
714
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
718
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
719
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
720
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
721
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
723
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
724
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
726
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
727
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
729
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
730
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
731
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
733
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
734
(#198793, John Ferlito)
736
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
739
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
740
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
742
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
744
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
746
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
747
symlinks (James Henstridge)
749
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
750
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
752
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
753
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
755
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
756
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
758
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
759
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
761
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
762
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
766
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
767
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
771
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
772
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
773
(Alexander Belchenko)
777
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
778
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
783
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
784
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
785
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
787
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
788
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
789
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
790
(Alexander Belchenko)
792
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
793
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
794
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
795
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
797
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
798
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
799
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
802
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
803
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
804
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
806
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
807
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
808
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
810
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
811
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
812
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
813
format. (Robert Collins)
821
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
824
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
825
---------------------
827
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
829
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
830
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
831
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
832
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
833
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
838
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
839
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
841
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
842
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
843
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
845
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
846
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
847
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
848
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
849
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
850
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
855
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
856
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
858
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
859
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
860
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
863
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
864
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
865
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
866
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
867
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
869
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
870
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
871
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
872
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
873
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
874
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
875
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
876
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
880
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
881
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
883
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
884
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
886
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
887
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
889
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
890
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
891
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
893
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
894
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
899
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
900
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
902
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
903
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
905
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
906
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
908
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
909
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
910
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
912
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
913
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
914
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
916
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
917
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
919
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
920
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
921
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
922
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
923
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
925
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
927
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
928
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
931
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
932
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
934
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
935
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
937
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
938
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
940
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
941
more characters which should be considered valid.
942
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
944
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
945
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
947
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
948
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
952
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
953
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
955
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
956
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
961
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
962
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
967
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
968
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
969
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
971
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
972
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
973
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
975
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
976
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
977
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
978
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
980
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
982
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
983
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
984
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
985
server. (Robert Collins)
987
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
988
operate. (Robert Collins)
990
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
991
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
992
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
994
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
995
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
996
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
997
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
999
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1000
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1002
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1003
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1004
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1006
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1007
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1009
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1010
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1012
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1013
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1014
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1015
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
5622
********************
5624
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
5625
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
5630
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
5631
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
5632
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
5633
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
5636
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
5637
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
5638
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
5639
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
5640
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
5641
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
5643
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
5644
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
5645
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
5646
(Alexander Belchenko)
5648
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
5650
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
5651
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
5656
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
5657
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
5659
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
5660
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
5666
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
5668
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
5670
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
5671
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
5672
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
5674
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
5675
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
5677
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
5678
to. (Daniel Watkins)
5680
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
5681
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
5682
(Alexander Belchenko)
5684
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
5685
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
5686
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
5687
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
5689
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
5692
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
5693
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
5694
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
5695
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
5696
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
5701
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
5702
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
5703
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
5704
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
5706
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
5707
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
5709
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
5710
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
5712
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
5713
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
5714
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
5716
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
5717
(#198793, John Ferlito)
5719
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
5722
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
5723
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
5725
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
5727
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
5729
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
5730
symlinks (James Henstridge)
5732
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
5733
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
5735
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
5736
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
5738
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
5739
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
5741
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
5742
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
5744
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
5745
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
5750
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
5751
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
5756
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
5757
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
5758
(Alexander Belchenko)
5763
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
5765
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
5766
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
5772
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
5773
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
5774
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
5776
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
5777
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
5778
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
5779
(Alexander Belchenko)
5781
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
5782
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
5783
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
5784
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
5786
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
5787
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
5788
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
5791
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
5792
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
5793
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
5795
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
5796
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
5797
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
5799
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
5800
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
5801
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
5802
format. (Robert Collins)
5808

5813
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)

Notes When Upgrading
5822
********************
5824
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
5825
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
5826
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
5827
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
5828
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
5834
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
5835
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
5837
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
5838
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
5839
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
5841
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
5842
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
5843
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
5844
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
5845
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
5846
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
5852
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
5853
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5855
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
5856
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
5857
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
5860
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
5861
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
5862
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
5863
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
5864
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
5866
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
5867
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
5868
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
5869
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
5870
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
5871
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
5872
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
5873
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
5878
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
5879
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
5881
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
5882
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
5884
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
5885
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
5887
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
5888
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
5889
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
5891
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
5892
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
5893
(John Arbash Meinel)
5898
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
5899
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
5901
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
5902
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
5904
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
5905
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
5907
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
5908
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
5909
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
5911
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
5912
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
5913
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
5915
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
5916
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
5918
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
5919
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
5920
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
5921
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
5922
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
5924
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
5926
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
5927
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
5930
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
5931
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
5933
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
5934
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
5936
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
5937
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123363)
5939
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
5940
more characters which should be considered valid.
5941
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
5943
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
5944
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
5946
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
5947
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
5952
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
5953
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
5955
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
5956
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
5962
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
5963
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
5969
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
5970
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
5971
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
5973
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
5974
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
5975
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
5977
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
5978
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
5979
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
5980
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
5982
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
5984
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
5985
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
5986
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
5987
server. (Robert Collins)
5989
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
5990
operate. (Robert Collins)
5992
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
5993
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
5994
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
5996
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
5997
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
5998
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
5999
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
6001
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
6002
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
6004
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
6005
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
6006
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
6008
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
6009
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
6011
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
6012
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
6014
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
6015
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
6016
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
6017
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

1023
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
1024
---------------------
1028
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1029
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1030
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1031
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1033
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1034
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1035
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1036
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1040
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1043
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1046
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1047
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1051
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1054
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1055
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1056
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1058
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1060
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1061
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1062
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1063
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1064
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1066
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1067
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1068
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1070
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1071
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1073
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1076
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1078
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1080
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1083
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1084
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1088
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1089
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1091
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1092
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1094
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1097
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1098
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1100
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1101
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1103
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1104
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1106
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1107
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)

* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1110
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.

1113
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1114
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1116
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1117
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1120
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1122
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1123
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1124
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1126
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1127
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1129
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1132
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1135
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1136
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1138
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1141
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1142
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1145
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1146
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
1147
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
1151
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1154
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1155
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1156
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1157
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1158
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1159
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1161
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1165
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
1168
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
1169
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1171
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1173
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1174
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1175
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1178
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1179
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1181
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
1188
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
1189
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1190
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
1192
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1193
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1196
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1197
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1199
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
1200
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1202
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1203
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1205
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
1206
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
1207
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1209
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1210
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1212
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
1213
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1215
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
1216
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
1219
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
1220
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
1222
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
1223
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
1231
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1233
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
1236
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
1238
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
1239
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
1243
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
1244
---------------------
1248
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
1249
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
1250
by mail to the mailing list.
1255
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
1257
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
1258
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
1259
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
1260
feedback but also incur more latency.
1261
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
1263
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
1264
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
1268
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1270
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
1275
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
1276
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
1277
wraps its output in a StringIO.
1281
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
1282
---------------------
1286
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1288
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
1291
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
1294
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1295
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1296
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
1297
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1299
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
1302
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1303
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1305
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1306
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1307
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1309
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1310
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1311
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1312
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1313
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1314
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1315
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1316
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1317
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
1321
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
1324
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
1328
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
1329
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
1331
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
1333
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1335
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1336
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1338
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
1340
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1341
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
1343
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
1344
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
1348
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
1349
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
1352
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
1353
---------------------
1355
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1357
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1358
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1359
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1360
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1362
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1363
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1365
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1366
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1368
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1369
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1370
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1371
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1372
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1373
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1374
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1375
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1376
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1377
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1378
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1379
from any tree without problems.
1380
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
1384
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1385
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1386
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1388
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
1389
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
1390
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
1395
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
1396
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
1397
supported transports.
1400
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
1401
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
1402
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
1404
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1405
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1407
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
1408
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
1409
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
1410
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
1412
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
1413
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
1417
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
1418
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
1419
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
1420
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1422
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
1423
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
1424
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
1425
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
1427
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
1428
(Robert Collins, #88319)
1430
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
1431
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
1433
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1434
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1436
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1437
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1442
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1445
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1446
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1449
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1450
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1451
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1452
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1454
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1455
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1456
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1457
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
1463
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
1464
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
1466
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
1467
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
1469
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
1470
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
1472
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
1473
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
1475
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
1476
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
1478
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
1479
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
1481
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
1482
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
1484
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
1487
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
1488
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
1490
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
1491
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
1492
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
1494
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
1495
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
1497
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
1498
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
1500
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
1501
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
1503
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
1504
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
1506
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
1507
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
1508
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
1509
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
1511
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1513
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
1514
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1515
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
1517
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
1518
(Robert Collins, #161240)
1520
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
1522
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1524
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1525
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1527
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1528
specify a port in urls.
1529
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1531
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
1532
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
1534
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
1535
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
1537
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
1538
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
1540
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
1541
(Robert Collins, #153789)
1543
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
1544
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
1545
(Robert Collins, #165304).
1547
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
1549
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
1550
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
1552
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
1555
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
1556
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
1558
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
1559
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
1561
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
1562
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
1563
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
1565
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
1566
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
1568
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
1569
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
1570
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
1571
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
1573
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
1574
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
1576
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
1577
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
1578
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
1580
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
1581
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
1583
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
1584
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
1586
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
1587
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
1591
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
1592
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
1594
* The return value of
1595
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
1596
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
1597
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
1598
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
1600
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
1603
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
1604
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
1610
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
1611
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
1612
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
1615
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
1616
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
1618
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
6030
:Released: 2008-01-05
6035
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
6036
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
6037
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
6038
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
6040
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
6041
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
6042
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
6043
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
6048
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
6051
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
6054
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
6055
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
6060
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
6063
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
6064
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
6065
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
6067
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
6069
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
6070
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
6071
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
6072
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
6073
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
6075
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
6076
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
6077
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
6079
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
6080
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
6082
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
6085
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
6087
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
6089
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
6092
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
6093
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
6098
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
6099
(Martin Pool, #180208)
6101
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
6102
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
6104
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
6107
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
6108
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
6110
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
6111
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
6113
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
6114
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6116
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
6117
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
6119
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
6120
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
6121
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
6123
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
6124
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
6126
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
6127
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
6130
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
6132
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
6133
user:pass embedded in the urls.
6134
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
6136
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
6137
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
6139
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
6142
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
6145
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
6146
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
6148
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
6151
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
6152
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
6155
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
6156
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
6157
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
6162
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
6165
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
6166
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
6167
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
6168
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
6169
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
6170
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
6172
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
6177
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
6180
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
6181
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
6183
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
6185
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
6186
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
6187
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
6190
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
6191
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
6193
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
6202
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
6203
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
6204
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
6206
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
6207
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
6210
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
6211
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
6213
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
6214
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
6216
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
6217
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
6219
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
6220
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
6221
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
6223
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
6224
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
6226
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
6227
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
6229
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
6230
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
6233
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
6234
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
6236
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
6237
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
6250
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
6253
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
6255
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
6256
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.

* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
6269
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
6270
by mail to the mailing list.
6276
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
6278
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
6279
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
6280
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
6281
feedback but also incur more latency.

* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
6285

* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
6292
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
6298
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
6299
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
6300
wraps its output in a StringIO.

:Released: 2007-12-07
6312
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
6314
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
6317
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
6320
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
6321
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
6322
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
6323
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6325
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
6328
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
6329
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
6331
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
6332
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
6333
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
6335
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
6336
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
6337
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
6338
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
6339
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
6340
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
6341
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
6342
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
6343
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
6348
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
6351
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.

Notes When Upgrading
6387
********************
6389
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
6390
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
6391
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
6392
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
6394
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
6395
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
6397
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
6398
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
6400
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
6401
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
6402
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
6403
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
6404
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
6405
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
6406
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
6407
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
6408
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
6409
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
6410
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
6411
from any tree without problems.
6412
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
6417
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
6418
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
6419
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
6421
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
6422
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
6428
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
6429
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
6430
supported transports.
6433
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
6434
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
6435
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
6437
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
6438
(Robert Collins, #154173)
6440
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
6441
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
6442
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
6443
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
6445
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
6446
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
6451
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
6452
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
6453
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
6454
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6456
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
6457
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
6458
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
6459
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
6461
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
6462
(Robert Collins, #88319)
6464
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
6465
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
6467
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
6468
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
6470
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
6471
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
6477
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
6480
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
6481
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
6484
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
6485
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
6486
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
6487
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
6489
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
6490
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
6491
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
6492
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
6500
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
6501
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
6503
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
6504
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
6506
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
6507
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
6509
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
6510
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
6512
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
6513
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
6515
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
6516
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
6518
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
6519
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
6521
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
6524
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
6525
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
6527
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
6528
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
6529
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
6531
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
6532
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
6534
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
6535
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
6537
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
6538
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
6540
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
6541
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
6543
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
6544
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
6545
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
6546
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
6548
(Martin Pool, #164637)
6550
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
6551
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
6552
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
6554
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
6555
(Robert Collins, #161240)
6557
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
6559
(Martin Pool, #164443)
6561
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
6562
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
6564
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
6565
specify a port in urls.
6566
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
6568
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
6569
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
6571
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
6572
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
6574
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
6575
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
6577
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
6578
(Robert Collins, #153789)
6580
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
6581
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
6582
(Robert Collins, #165304).
6584
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
6586
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
6587
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
6589
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
6592
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
6593
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
6595
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
6596
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
6598
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
6599
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
6600
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
6602
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
6603
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
6605
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
6606
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
6607
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
6608
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
6610
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
6611
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
6613
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
6614
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
6615
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
6617
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
6618
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
6620
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
6621
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
6623
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
6624
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
6629
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
6630
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
6632
* The return value of
6633
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
6634
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
6635
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
6636
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
6638
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
6641
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
6642
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
6649
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
6650
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
6651
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
6654
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
6655
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
6657
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
1631
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
1632
----------------------
1634
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1638
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
1639
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
1641
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
1642
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
1643
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
1644
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
1645
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
1646
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
1647
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
1648
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
1649
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
1650
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
1651
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
1652
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
1657
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
1658
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
1659
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
1660
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
1661
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
1662
for further details. (Robert Collins)
1664
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
1665
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
1666
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
1669
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
1671
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
1672
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
1674
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
1675
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
1678
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
1679
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
1680
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
1684
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
1685
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1687
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
1688
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
1690
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
1691
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
1692
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
1693
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
1695
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
1698
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
1699
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
1700
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
1701
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
1703
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
1704
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
1706
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
1707
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1709
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
1710
the contents. (Robert Collins)
1712
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
1713
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
1717
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
1718
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
1720
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
1721
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
1723
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
1724
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
1726
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
1727
(Martin Pool, #63894)
1729
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
1730
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
1734
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
1736
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
1741
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
1742
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
1743
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
1745
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
1746
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
1748
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
1749
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
1751
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
1752
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
1753
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
1754
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
1756
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
1757
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
1758
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
1759
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
1760
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
1762
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
1763
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
1765
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
1767
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1769
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
1770
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
1772
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
1773
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
1775
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
1776
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
1778
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
1779
contains a symbolic link.
1780
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
1782
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
1783
(James Westby, #140615)
1785
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
1786
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
1787
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
1789
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
1790
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
1791
(Martin Pool, #144633)
1793
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1795
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
1796
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
1798
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
1800
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
1802
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
1803
directory to detect leaking tests.
1804
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
1806
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
1807
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
1808
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
1810
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
1813
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
1814
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
1816
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
1821
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
1822
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
1824
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
1825
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
1826
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
1828
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
1829
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
1830
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
1832
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
1833
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
1835
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
1836
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
1838
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
1839
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
1842
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
1843
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
1845
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
1846
class that needs it.
1849
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
1850
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
1852
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
1853
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
1854
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
1856
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
1857
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
1858
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
1861
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
1862
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
1863
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
1864
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
1869
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1870
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1871
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1873
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1874
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1875
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1876
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1878
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1879
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1882
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1883
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1884
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1886
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1887
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1888
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1890
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1891
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1893
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1894
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1895
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1897
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1898
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1900
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1901
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1902
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1904
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1905
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1906
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1908
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1909
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1910
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1911
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1913
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1914
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1915
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1916
returned. (Robert Collins)
1918
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1919
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1921
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1922
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1923
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1924
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1927
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1928
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1932
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1933
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1935
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1936
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1937
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1938
makes this behavior available to other users.
1941
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1942
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
1950
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1951
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1952
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1954
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1956
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1957
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1958
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1959
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1961
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1962
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
1966
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1967
----------------------
1969
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
1970
in bzrlib/remote.py.
1973
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
1974
----------------------
1978
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1979
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1980
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1981
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1984
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1985
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1986
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1991
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1992
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1993
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1996
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1997
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1998
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
2000
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2001
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2002
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2004
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2005
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2007
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
2008
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
2009
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
2010
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
2011
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
2012
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
2013
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
2014
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
2015
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
2016
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
2018
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2019
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2021
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
2022
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
2023
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2027
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2028
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2030
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
2031
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
2032
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
2034
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2035
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2037
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2038
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2040
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2043
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2044
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2046
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2047
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2049
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2050
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2052
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2053
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2055
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2057
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2060
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
2061
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
2062
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
2063
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
2065
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2067
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
2068
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
2071
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2072
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2074
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2075
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2078
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2079
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2081
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2082
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2084
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
2085
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
2086
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
2087
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
2088
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
2089
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
2090
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
2092
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2093
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2095
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2096
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2098
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2099
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2101
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2102
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2104
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2106
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2108
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2109
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
2111
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
2112
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
2113
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
2115
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2116
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2117
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2121
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2122
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2124
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2127
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2130
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2131
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2133
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2135
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2136
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2138
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2139
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2141
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
2142
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
2143
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
2144
space). (Robert Collins)
2146
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2147
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2150
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2151
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2153
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2154
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2156
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
2157
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
2158
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
2159
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
2161
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
2162
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
2163
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
2166
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
2169
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
2170
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
2171
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
2173
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
2174
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
2175
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
2176
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
2177
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
2181
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
2182
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2184
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
2185
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
2186
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
2187
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
2188
affected. (Robert Collins)
2190
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
2191
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
2192
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
2195
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2196
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2200
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
2201
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
2203
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
2204
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2206
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2207
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2209
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
2212
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
2213
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2217
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
2218
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
2219
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
2220
its version information. (Robert Collins)
2222
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
2223
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2225
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
2226
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
2227
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
2228
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2230
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
2231
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
2232
present. (Robert Collins)
2234
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
2235
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
2236
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
2237
API. (Robert Collins)
2239
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
2240
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
2243
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
2244
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
2246
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
2247
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
2248
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
2249
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
2250
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
2251
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
2253
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
2254
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
2255
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
2257
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
2258
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
2259
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
2260
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
2263
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
2266
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
2267
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
2268
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
2269
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
2270
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
2271
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
2272
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
2274
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
2275
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
2276
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
2277
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
2279
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
2280
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
2281
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
2282
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
2283
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
2284
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
2286
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
2287
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
2288
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
2290
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
2291
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2299
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2300
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2301
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2302
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2303
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2304
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2305
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
2306
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
2311
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2312
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2313
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
2316
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
2317
----------------------
2321
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2322
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2323
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2324
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2325
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2327
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2328
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2330
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2332
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2334
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2335
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2338
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2339
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2342
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2345
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2346
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2348
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2349
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2351
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2352
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2354
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2355
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2357
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2358
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2360
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2365
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2366
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2368
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2369
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2371
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2372
the repository (Robert Collins)
2374
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2375
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2376
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2377
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2378
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2380
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2381
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2383
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2384
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2385
(John Arbash Meinel)
2387
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2388
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2389
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2391
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2392
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2393
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2394
(John Arbash Meinel)
2396
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2397
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2400
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2401
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2403
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2406
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2408
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2410
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2411
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2413
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2414
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2417
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2418
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2419
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2420
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2422
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2423
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
2424
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
2426
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
2427
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
2428
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
2430
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2431
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2433
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2434
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2435
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2436
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2437
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2438
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2441
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2442
(Alexander Belchenko)
2444
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2445
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2447
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2448
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2450
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2452
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2453
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2457
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2458
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2459
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2460
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2462
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2464
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2467
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2468
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2469
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2470
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2471
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2472
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2476
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2477
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2478
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2479
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2481
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2482
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2483
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2484
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2485
tests have been refactored too.
2488
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2489
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2490
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2494
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2495
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2496
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2498
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2499
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2500
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2501
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2502
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2503
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2504
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2506
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2507
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2508
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2509
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2510
(John Arbash Meinel)
2512
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2513
functionality for testing.
2515
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2517
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2518
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2520
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2522
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2525
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2526
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2528
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2529
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2530
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2532
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2535
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2536
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2538
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2539
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2540
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2541
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2543
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2544
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2546
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2547
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2548
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2550
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2553
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2554
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2555
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2556
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2557
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
2558
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2560
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
2561
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
2562
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
2563
many files. (Robert Collins)
2565
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
2566
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
2567
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
2568
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
2572
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
2573
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
2574
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
2576
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
2577
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
2579
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
2580
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
2581
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2585
--------------------
2589
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
2592
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
2593
-----------------------
2597
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
2598
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
2600
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
2601
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
2602
(James Westby, #122656)
2604
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
2605
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
2607
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
2608
authentication header.
2609
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
2611
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
2613
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
2614
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
2616
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
2618
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
2619
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
2621
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
2622
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
2623
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
2625
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
2626
individually and as part of revision ranges.
2627
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
2629
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
2630
(Martin Pool, #109169)
2632
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
2633
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
2635
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
2636
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
2638
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2640
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
2644
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
2645
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
2646
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
2647
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
2648
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
2649
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
2651
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
2652
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
2653
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
2655
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
2658
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
2659
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
2661
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
2662
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
2664
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
2665
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
2667
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
2668
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
2669
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
2670
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
2671
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
2673
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
2674
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
2676
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
2677
can be slow it is useful feedback).
2678
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
2680
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
2681
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
2683
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
2685
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
2686
output. (Aaron Bentley)
2688
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
2689
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
2692
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
2695
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
2696
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
2698
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
2699
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
2701
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
2702
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
2704
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
2706
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
2707
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
2709
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
2714
* Testing cleanups -
2715
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2716
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
2717
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2718
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
2719
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2720
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
2721
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2722
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
2723
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2724
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
2725
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
2726
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
2727
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2728
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
2729
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2730
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
2731
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
2734
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
2736
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
2737
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
2738
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
2740
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
2741
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
2743
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
2744
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2746
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
2748
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
2749
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
2750
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
2751
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
2752
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
2753
same location. (Robert Collins)
2757
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
2759
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
2761
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
2763
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
2766
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
2769
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
2770
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
2771
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
2773
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
2775
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
2776
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
2777
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
2779
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
2780
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
2782
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
2783
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
2784
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
2786
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
2787
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
2788
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
2790
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
2791
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
2792
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
2794
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
2795
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
2798
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
2799
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
2801
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
2802
(Alexander Belchenko)
2806
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
2807
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
2808
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
2809
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2811
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
2812
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
2813
testing. (Robert Collins)
2815
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
2816
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
2818
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
2819
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
2820
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
2821
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
2822
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
2823
attribute during the test parameterisation in
2824
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
2826
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
2827
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
2828
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
2829
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
2831
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
2832
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
2834
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
2835
avoid useless cloning.
2836
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
2840
--------------------
2844
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
2845
(Colin Watson, #120647)
2847
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.

-----------------------
2854
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2856
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
2857
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
2858
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
2859
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
2860
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
2861
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
2862
and unlock() like so::
2864
work_tree.lock_read()
2866
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
2871
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
2872
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
2874
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
2875
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
2876
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
2878
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2879
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2880
too. (Robert Collins)
2884
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
2885
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
2888
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
2889
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
2891
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
2892
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
2894
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
2895
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
2896
understanding what changes have occurred
2897
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
2899
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
2900
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
2901
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2903
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
2904
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
2905
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
2906
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2908
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2913
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
2914
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
2915
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
2916
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
2917
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
2919
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2920
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2921
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2923
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
2924
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
2926
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
2928
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2930
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2931
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2933
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2934
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2936
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2937
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2939
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2940
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2942
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2943
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2945
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2946
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2947
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
2950
--------------------
2954
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2955
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2956
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2957
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2958
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2960
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2961
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2962
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2964
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2965
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2969
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2970
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2971
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2973
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2974
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2975
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2976
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
2978
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
2979
-----------------------
2983
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2984
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2985
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2986
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2988
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2989
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2990
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
2992
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2993
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
2995
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
2996
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
2998
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
2999
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
3001
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
3002
-----------------------
3004
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3006
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
3007
it could be recovered again.
3008
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
3009
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
3010
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
3012
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
3014
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
3015
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
3019
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
3020
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
3022
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
3023
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
3024
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
3025
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
3027
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
3028
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
3030
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
3031
tests with names that match that regular expression.
3032
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
3034
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
3035
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
3036
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
3038
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
3039
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
3040
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
3042
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
3043
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
3046
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
3049
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
3050
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
3051
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
3052
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
3054
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
3057
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
3058
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
3059
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
3062
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
3063
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
3065
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
3066
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
3068
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
3069
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
3070
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
3071
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
3074
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
3075
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
3077
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
3078
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3080
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
3081
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
3082
(Robert Collins, #107125).
3084
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
3085
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
3086
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
3088
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
3089
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
3090
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3092
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
3093
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
3094
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
3095
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
3097
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
3098
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
3099
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
3100
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
3102
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
3103
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
3104
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
3105
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
3106
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
3107
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
3108
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
3109
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
3115
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
3116
code paths. (Robert Collins)
3118
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
3119
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
3120
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
3121
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
3122
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3124
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
3125
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
3127
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
3128
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
3130
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
3131
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
3133
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
3134
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
3136
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
3137
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
3138
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
3141
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
3142
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
3143
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
3144
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
3145
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
3148
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
3149
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
3150
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
3152
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
3153
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
3156
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
3157
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
3158
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
3161
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
3162
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
3163
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
3164
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
3165
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
3167
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
3168
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
3169
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
3170
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3172
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
3173
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3175
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
3176
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
3177
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
3178
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
3179
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
3180
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
3182
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
3183
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
3185
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
3186
help. (Robert Collins)
3188
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
3189
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3191
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
3192
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
3193
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
3194
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
3195
(John Arbash Meinel)
3197
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
3198
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
3199
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
3200
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
3201
useful. (Robert Collins)
3203
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
3208
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
3209
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
3211
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
3212
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
3214
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
3215
properly and is no longer beneficial.
3216
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
3218
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
3221
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
3222
the file, and does it faster.
3223
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
3225
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
3226
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
3227
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
3229
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
3230
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
3231
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
3232
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
3234
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
3235
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
3236
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
3237
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
3239
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
3240
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
3242
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
3243
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
3244
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
3245
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
3248
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
3250
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
3251
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
3253
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
3254
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
3256
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
3257
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
3258
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
3259
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
3263
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3264
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3268
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3269
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3270
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3272
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3273
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3275
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3276
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3277
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3278
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3279
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3280
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3281
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3282
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3284
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3285
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3286
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3288
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3289
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3290
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
3291
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
3292
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3294
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3296
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3297
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3298
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3300
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3301
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
3309
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
3312
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
3313
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
3316
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
3317
-----------------------
3321
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
3322
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
3327
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3328
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3329
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3330
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3331
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3332
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3333
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3334
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3339
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3340
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3341
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3343
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3344
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3347
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3348
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3349
(John Arbash Meinel)
3351
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3352
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3353
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3354
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3355
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3359
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3362
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3363
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3365
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3366
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3368
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3369
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3370
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3372
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3373
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3375
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3376
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3377
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3378
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3379
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3381
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3382
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3383
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3385
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
3388
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
3389
-----------------------
3391
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3393
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3394
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3395
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3399
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3400
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3402
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3403
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3405
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3407
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3408
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3410
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3411
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3415
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3420
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3421
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3422
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3423
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3425
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3426
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3428
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3429
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3431
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3434
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
3435
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
3438
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
3439
-----------------------
3443
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
3444
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
3445
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
3446
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
3447
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
3448
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
3450
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
3451
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
3452
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
3453
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
3454
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
3455
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
3457
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3459
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
3460
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
3461
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
3462
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
3463
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
3464
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
3465
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
3466
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3470
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3471
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3473
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
3474
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
3475
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
3476
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
3478
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
3479
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
3480
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
3481
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
3482
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
3484
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
3487
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3490
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3493
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3494
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3497
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3500
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3501
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3503
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3504
directory. (Martin Pool)
3506
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3507
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3508
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3509
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3511
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3512
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3513
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3514
in docs/configuration.txt.
3516
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3517
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
3520
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
3521
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
3522
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
3523
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
3524
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
3525
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3527
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3528
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3530
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3531
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3533
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
3538
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
3539
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
3540
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
3541
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
3542
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
3543
(John Arbash Meinel)
3545
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
3546
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
3549
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
3550
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
3551
(John Arbash Meinel)
3553
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
3554
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
3555
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
3556
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
3557
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
3558
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
3560
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
3561
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
3562
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
3564
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
3565
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
3566
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
3567
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
3569
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3571
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
3572
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
3573
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
3574
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
3576
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
3577
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
3578
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
3579
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
3581
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
3582
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
3583
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
3585
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
3586
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
3587
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
3589
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
3590
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
3591
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
3592
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
3594
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
3595
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
3596
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
3598
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
3599
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
3600
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
3602
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
3603
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
3604
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
3605
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
3606
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
3607
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
3608
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
3609
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
3610
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
3611
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
3612
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
3616
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
3617
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
3618
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
3620
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
3623
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
3624
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
3625
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
3626
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
3628
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
3629
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
3632
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
3633
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
3635
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
3637
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
3638
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
3639
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
3641
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
3642
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
3644
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
3645
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
3647
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
3648
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
3650
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
3651
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
3653
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
3655
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
3656
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
3660
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
3661
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
3665
--------------------
3669
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
3673
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
3674
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
3675
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
3677
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
3678
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
3679
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
3682
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
3683
-----------------------
3687
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
3688
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
3689
server, then you can write over the http connection.
3690
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3692
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
3695
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
3696
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
3697
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3699
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
3700
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
3702
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
3705
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
3706
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
3707
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
3708
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
3709
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
3710
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
3712
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
3713
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
3714
should enable you to do::
3716
[/home/user/project]
3717
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
3718
push_location:policy = appendpath
3720
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
3721
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
3724
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
3725
for each file. For example::
3727
$ bzr status --short
3733
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
3734
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
3736
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
3738
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
3739
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
3741
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
3745
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
3746
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
3747
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
3748
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
3750
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
3751
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
3752
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
3754
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3756
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
3757
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
3758
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
3759
(Alexander Belchenko)
3761
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
3764
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
3765
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
3767
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
3771
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
3772
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
3774
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
3775
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
3776
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
3777
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
3778
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
3780
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
3781
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
3783
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
3784
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
3786
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
3788
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
3790
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
3791
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
3792
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
3793
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
3794
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
3796
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
3797
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
3798
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
3799
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
3801
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
3802
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
3804
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
3805
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
3807
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
3808
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
3810
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
3811
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)

No changes from 0.13rc1
3819
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
3820
-----------------------
3824
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
3826
(Daniel Silverstone)
3828
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
3829
operations are substantially faster.
3830
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
3832
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
3833
tree from some other url. For example:
3834
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
3835
(Daniel Silverstone)
3837
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
3838
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
3839
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
3840
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
3842
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
3845
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
3846
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
3847
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
3848
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
3849
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
3850
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
3854
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
3855
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
3858
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3859
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3860
(John Arbash Meinel)
3862
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
3863
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
3864
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
3865
(John Arbash Meinel)
3867
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
3868
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3870
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3871
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3873
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3874
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3879
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
3880
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
3881
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
3883
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
3884
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
3885
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
3886
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
3888
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3890
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3891
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3893
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3894
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3895
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
3896
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3898
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3899
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3900
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3902
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3903
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3904
them as full references rather than integers.
3905
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3907
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3908
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3910
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3912
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3913
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3915
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3916
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3918
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3919
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3920
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3921
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3923
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3924
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3925
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3927
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3928
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3930
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3931
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3932
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3933
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3934
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3938
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3939
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
3942
--------------------
3946
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3947
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3948
(John Arbash Meinel)
3950
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
3951
-----------------------
3955
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3956
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3957
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3958
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3960
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3961
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3963
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3965
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3966
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3967
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3968
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3970
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3971
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3972
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3973
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3974
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3976
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3978
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3979
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3983
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3984
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3985
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3987
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3988
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3989
(John Arbash Meinel)
3991
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3992
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3993
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3995
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3996
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3999
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4000
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4001
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4003
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4004
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4005
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4006
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4007
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4008
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4010
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4011
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4012
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4015
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4016
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4020
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4021
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4022
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4025
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4026
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
4028
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4029
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4030
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4032
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4033
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4035
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4036
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4037
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4038
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4040
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4041
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4043
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4044
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4045
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4047
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4048
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4050
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4052
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4053
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4058
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4059
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4060
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4061
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4063
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4064
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4065
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4068
--------------------
4070
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
4072
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
4073
-----------------------
4077
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
4079
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
4082
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
4083
-----------------------
4087
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
4088
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
4089
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
4090
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
4091
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
4092
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
4093
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
4095
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
4096
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
4097
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
4099
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
4101
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
4102
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
4104
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
4105
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
4106
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
4109
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
4110
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
4111
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
4112
(John Arbash Meinel)
4114
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
4115
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
4116
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
4117
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
4120
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
4121
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
4122
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
4123
(John Arbash Meinel)
4127
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
4128
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
4130
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
4132
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
4133
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
4134
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
4136
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
4137
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
4139
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
4140
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
4142
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
4143
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
4145
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
4146
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
4148
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
4150
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
4151
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
4153
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
4154
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
4156
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
4157
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
4159
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
4160
(John Arbash Meinel)
4162
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
4163
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
4164
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
4166
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
4167
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4169
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
4170
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
4171
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
4172
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
4174
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
4175
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
4176
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
4178
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
4179
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
4183
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
4187
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
4188
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
4189
(John Arbash Meinel)
4191
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
4192
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
4193
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
4194
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4196
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
4199
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
4200
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
4201
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
4203
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
4204
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
4206
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
4207
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
4208
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
4210
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
4211
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
4212
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
4213
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
4214
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
4215
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
4216
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
4217
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
4218
caller to repeat their request.
4219
(John Arbash Meinel)
4221
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
4222
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
4224
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
4225
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
4227
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
4228
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
4229
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
4230
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
4231
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
4232
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
4233
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
4235
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
4236
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
4237
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
4238
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
4239
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
4240
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
4241
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
4242
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
4245
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
4246
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
4247
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
4249
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
4250
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
4252
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
4253
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
4255
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
4256
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4260
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
4261
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
4263
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
4264
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
4265
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4267
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
4268
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
4269
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4272
--------------------
4275
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
4276
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4278
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
4279
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
4280
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
4281
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
4282
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
4284
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
4285
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
4286
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
4288
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
4289
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
4291
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
4292
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
4293
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4297
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
4299
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
4300
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
4301
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
4303
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
4305
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
4307
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
4308
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
4309
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
4310
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
4312
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
4313
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
4314
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
4315
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
4316
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
4318
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
4319
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
4321
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
4322
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
4324
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
4325
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
4327
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
4328
in handling of revision properties.
4329
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
4331
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
4332
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
4336
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
4337
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
4338
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
4339
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
4340
(John Arbash Meinel)
4342
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
4343
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
4344
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4346
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4347
---------------------
4351
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
4352
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
4353
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
4354
specific one '.bzrignore'.
4355
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
4356
a more conservative list than the old default.
4357
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
4358
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
4359
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
4360
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
4362
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4363
to more locations than just branch locations.
4368
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
4369
revno:N:branch. For example,
4370
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
4371
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4373
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
4374
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
4375
the path of a file that has been versioned.
4376
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
4377
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
4378
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
4379
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
4380
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
4383
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
4384
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
4385
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
4388
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
4389
(Alexander Belchenko)
4391
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
4393
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
4396
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
4397
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
4398
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
4399
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
4400
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
4401
(John Arbash Meinel)
4403
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
4404
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
4405
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
4406
grained analysis of performance.
4407
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4409
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
4410
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
4412
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
4413
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
4414
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
4415
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
4416
file. (Robert Collins).
4418
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
4419
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
4420
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
4422
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
4423
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
4426
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
4427
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
4429
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
4430
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
4431
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
4432
the same way you would apply another branch.
4433
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4435
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
4436
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
4438
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
4441
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
4444
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
4445
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
4446
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
4448
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
4449
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
4450
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
4452
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
4453
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
4455
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
4456
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
4457
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
4458
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
4459
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
4461
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
4462
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
4464
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
4465
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
4466
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
4467
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
4468
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
4469
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
4470
branch is as much as 4x faster.
4471
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
4473
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
4474
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
4475
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
4479
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4481
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4483
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4484
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4486
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4487
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4489
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4490
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4492
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4494
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4495
(John Arbash Meinel)
4497
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4498
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4500
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4501
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4504
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4505
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4507
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4508
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4510
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4511
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4512
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4513
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4515
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4516
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4518
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4520
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4521
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4523
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4525
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4527
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4528
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4530
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4531
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4533
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4534
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4535
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4537
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4538
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4539
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4541
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4542
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4544
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4545
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4547
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4548
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4550
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4551
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4553
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4554
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
4556
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
4557
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
4558
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
4560
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
4562
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
4563
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
4567
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
4568
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
4569
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
4571
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
4572
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
4574
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
4575
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
4576
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4578
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
4579
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4581
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
4582
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
4585
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
4586
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
4587
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4589
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
4590
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
4591
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4593
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
4594
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
4595
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
4597
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
4598
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
4599
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
4601
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
4602
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
4603
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
4605
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
4606
instead. (Robert Collins)
4608
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
4610
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
4611
---------------------
4615
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
4617
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
4618
---------------------
4622
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
4623
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
4625
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
4626
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4628
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
4629
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
4630
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
4634
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
4636
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
4637
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
4639
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
4643
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
4644
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
4645
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
4646
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
4650
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
4651
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
4652
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
4656
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
4657
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
4658
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4662
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
4663
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
4668
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4670
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
4671
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
4672
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
4673
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
4674
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
4675
will keep the same format.
4677
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
4678
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
4679
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
4680
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
4681
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
4683
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
4684
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
4685
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
4686
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
4687
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
4688
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
4689
indicating the current revision of the branch.
4691
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
4692
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
4693
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
4694
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
4695
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
4697
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
4698
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
4699
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
4705
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
4706
convention. Paths now take the form::
4708
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
4710
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
4712
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
4713
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
4715
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
4716
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
4717
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
4719
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
4720
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
4721
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
4722
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
4724
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
4725
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
4726
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
4728
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
4730
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
4732
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
4733
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
4736
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
4737
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
4740
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
4742
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
4743
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
4744
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
4747
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
4749
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
4751
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
4754
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
4755
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
4757
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
4758
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
4761
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
4762
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
4765
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
4767
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
4769
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
4770
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
4772
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
4773
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
4774
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
4775
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
4776
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
4777
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
4779
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
4781
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
4782
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
4785
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
4786
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
4788
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
4789
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
4791
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
4793
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
4794
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
4795
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
4796
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
4797
specification by Martin Pool.
4798
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
4800
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
4803
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
4804
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4806
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
4807
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
4808
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
4810
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
4812
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
4813
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
4818
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
4819
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4821
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
4823
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
4825
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
4828
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
4829
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
4830
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
4831
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
4835
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
4836
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
4837
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
4838
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4840
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
4841
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
4842
tried. (Martin Pool)
4844
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
4847
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
4849
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
4850
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
4851
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
4853
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
4854
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
4856
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
4857
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
4858
paths. (Robert Collins)
4860
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
4861
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
4862
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
4864
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
4865
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
4866
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
4868
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4869
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4870
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4872
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4875
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4878
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4880
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4882
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
4883
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
4884
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
4887
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4888
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4890
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
4891
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
4892
check. (Robert Collins)
4894
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4895
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4899
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4900
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4902
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4903
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4904
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4905
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4907
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4908
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4909
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4910
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4911
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4913
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4914
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4915
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4917
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4919
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4920
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
4927
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4928
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4930
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4931
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4932
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4935
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4936
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4938
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4939
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4940
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4941
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4942
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4944
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4945
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4946
used. (Robert Collins)
4948
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4949
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4952
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4953
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4954
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4956
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4959
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4960
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4964
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4965
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4967
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4969
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4971
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4972
tree. (Robert Collins)
4974
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4975
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4976
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4979
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4982
* Tweaks to short log printing
4984
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4987
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4988
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4990
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4991
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4993
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4994
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4996
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
4997
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4998
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5000
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5001
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5003
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5004
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5007
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5008
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5010
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5011
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5013
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5014
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5016
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5019
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5020
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5022
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5023
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5025
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5026
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5027
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
5031
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
5033
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5035
* Error when run with -OO
5037
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
5040
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5042
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5044
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5045
ignored by diff and status
5047
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5048
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5050
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5052
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5054
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5055
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5057
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5058
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5060
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5063
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5064
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5066
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5068
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5069
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5071
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5074
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5075
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5077
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5081
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5082
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5084
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5086
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5088
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5090
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5091
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5092
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5094
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5096
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5097
(John Arbash Meinel)
5099
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5101
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5102
If adding a new test script please add that to
5103
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5105
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5106
imported. (Martin Pool)
5108
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5109
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5110
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5111
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5112
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5115
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5116
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5117
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5119
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5120
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5121
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5123
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5124
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5125
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5126
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5127
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5130
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5131
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5136
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5137
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5139
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5140
function. (Robert Collins)
5142
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5143
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5144
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5146
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5147
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5150
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5151
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5152
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5153
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5154
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5155
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5156
version. (Robert Collins)
5158
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5159
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5161
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5162
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5163
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5164
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5165
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5166
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5168
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5171
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5181
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5183
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5185
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5188
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5189
query method. (Robert Collins)
5191
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5194
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5197
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5200
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5201
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5202
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5203
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5205
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5206
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5207
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5208
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5210
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5211
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
5218
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
5221
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
5225
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
5226
a separator, not ':'.
5229
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
5230
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
5231
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
5233
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
5234
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
5237
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
5238
has been added that suppresses all output.
5240
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
5243
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
5244
Goffredo Baroncelli.
5246
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
5247
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
5249
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
5250
a revision. (Robert Collins)
5252
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
5253
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
5254
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
5255
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
5257
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
5259
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
5260
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
5262
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
5263
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
5265
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
5266
output directory, if one was supplied.
5268
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
5269
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
5270
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
5271
parameters. (Robert Collins)
5273
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
5275
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
5276
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
5278
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
5279
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
5280
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
5282
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
5283
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
5285
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
5288
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
5290
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
5294
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
5295
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
5296
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
5298
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
5299
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
5300
related questions. (Robert Collins)
5302
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
5303
is given. (Martin Pool)
5305
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
5306
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
5307
file. (Robert Collins)
5309
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
5314
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
5315
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
5316
representation. (Martin Pool).
5318
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
5319
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
5320
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
5322
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5325
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
5326
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
5329
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5330
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
5331
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5332
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5333
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5335
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5336
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5337
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5338
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5339
python path. (Robert Collins)
5341
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5342
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5343
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5344
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5346
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5347
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5349
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5350
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5353
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5354
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5355
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5357
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5358
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5359
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5361
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5362
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5364
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5365
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5366
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5369
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5370
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5371
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5372
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5375
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5378
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5379
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5382
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
5383
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
5384
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
5386
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
5387
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
5388
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
5390
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
5391
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
5392
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
5394
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5395
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5397
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
5398
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
5399
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
5400
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
5401
caller. (Robert Collins)
5403
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
5404
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
5407
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
5408
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
5411
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
5413
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
5414
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
5418
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
5419
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
5421
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
5422
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
5425
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
5426
--------------------
5430
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
5431
allow directories to be listed.
5433
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
5434
upgrading branch format.
5438
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
5446
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
5447
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
5448
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
5449
high-latency connections.
5453
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
5456
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
5457
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
5459
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
5460
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
5461
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
5462
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5464
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5465
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5467
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5468
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5470
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
5471
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
5472
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5474
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
5475
for files with only a change to their executable status.
5476
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
5479
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5480
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5482
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5483
different partial views of history.
5485
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5486
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5490
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5491
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5492
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5494
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5495
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5498
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5499
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5501
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5504
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5505
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5507
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5508
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5509
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5510
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5512
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5514
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5515
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5518
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5519
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5521
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5522
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5523
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5528
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5529
for your viewing pleasure.
5531
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5532
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5534
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5535
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5536
handling of such circumstances.
5538
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
5539
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
5540
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
5542
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5544
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5545
we call them revisions not patches.
5547
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5548
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5550
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
5551
giving the revision *of that file*.
5553
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
5554
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
5555
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
5559
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
5560
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
5562
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
5563
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
5566
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
5567
--------------------
5571
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
5573
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
5576
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
5578
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
5580
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
5581
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5585
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
5586
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
5588
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
5589
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
5590
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
5591
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
5594
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
5595
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5599
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
5601
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
5602
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
5605
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
5606
--------------------
5610
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
5611
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
5612
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
5613
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
5616
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
5619
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
5620
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
5621
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
5622
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
5623
for the operating system is still tried.
5625
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
5626
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
5627
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
5632
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
5636
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
5638
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
5641
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
5647
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
5649
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
5652
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
5653
--------------------
5657
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
5658
help with intelligent shell completion.
5660
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
5665
* Much better merge support.
5667
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
5668
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
5674
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
5675
mention revisions that are not present.
5677
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
5679
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
5681
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
5682
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
5687
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
5689
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
5690
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
5696
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging

framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by

bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
5703
--------------------
5707
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
5708
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
5710
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
5712
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
5713
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
5715
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
5718
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
5720
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
5723
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
5724
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
5726
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
5727
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
5728
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
5733
* Faster working tree operations.
5738
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
5739
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
5740
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
5741
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
5743
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
5744
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
5745
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
5746
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
5747
standard plugins directory.
5749
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
5750
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
5751
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
5752
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
5754
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
5755
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
5757
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
5760
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
5761
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
5762
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
5764
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
5765
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
5767
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
5768
line options must come before the command name because they
5769
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
5770
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
5773
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
5775
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
5776
is available with ``--short``.
5781
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
5784
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
5785
---------------------
5789
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
5790
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5792
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
5793
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
5794
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
5795
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
5797
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
5798
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
5799
with the ``--forward`` option.
5801
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
5802
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
5808
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
5809
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
5811
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
5813
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
5814
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
5816
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
5818
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
5819
either read or write mode.
5821
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
5823
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
5826
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
5828
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
5829
suggested by LarstiQ.
5831
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
5832
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
5834
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
5837
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
5838
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
5840
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
5841
haven't changed since the previous time.
5843
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
5844
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
5846
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
5848
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
5850
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
5851
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
5853
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
5854
options through to an external GNU diff.
5856
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
5859
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
5865
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
5866
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
5868
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
5874
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
5875
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
5878
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
5879
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
5881
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
5882
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
5884
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
5885
under a different version.
5887
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
5892
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
5894
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
5895
Scott James Remnant.
5897
* Better help messages for many commands.
5899
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
5900
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
5902
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
5903
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
5905
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
5907
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
5909
* New AtomicFile class.
5911
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
5916
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
5917
2.4 is now only recommended.
5920
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
5921
---------------------
5925
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
5926
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
5928
* More default ignore patterns.
5930
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
5931
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
5933
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
5935
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
5938
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
5943
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
5944
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
5945
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
5946
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
5947
there are DNS problems.
5949
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
5954
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
5956
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
5958
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
5959
trailing newlines properly.
5964
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
5967
* More tests in test.sh.
5969
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
5970
directory and delete it when done.
5972
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
5977
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
5980
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
5984
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
5985
---------------------
5989
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
5992
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
5994
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
5997
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
6000
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
6002
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
6006
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
6007
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
6012
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
6013
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
6018
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
6022
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
6674
:Released: 2007-10-29
6679
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
6680
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
6682
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
6683
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
6684
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
6685
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
6686
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
6687
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
6688
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
6689
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
6690
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
6691
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
6692
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
6693
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
6699
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
6700
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
6701
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
6702
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
6703
commands. (Robert Collins)
6705
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
6706
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
6707
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
6710
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
6712
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
6713
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
6715
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
6716
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
6719
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
6720
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
6721
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
6726
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
6727
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
6729
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
6730
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
6732
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
6733
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
6734
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
6735
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
6737
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
6740
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
6741
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
6742
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
6743
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
6745
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
6746
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
6748
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
6749
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
6751
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
6752
the contents. (Robert Collins)
6754
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
6755
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
6760
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
6761
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
6763
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
6764
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
6766
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
6767
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
6769
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
6770
(Martin Pool, #63894)
6772
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
6773
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
6778
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
6780
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
6786
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
6787
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
6788
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
6790
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
6791
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
6793
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
6794
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
6796
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
6797
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
6798
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
6799
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
6801
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
6802
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
6803
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
6804
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
6805
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
6807
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
6808
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
6810
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
6812
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
6814
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
6815
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
6817
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
6818
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
6820
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
6821
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
6823
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
6824
contains a symbolic link.
6825
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
6827
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
6828
(James Westby, #140615)
6830
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
6831
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
6832
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
6834
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
6835
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
6836
(Martin Pool, #144633)
6838
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
6840
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
6841
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
6843
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
6845
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
6847
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
6848
directory to detect leaking tests.
6849
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
6851
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
6852
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
6853
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
6855
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
6858
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
6859
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
6861
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
6867
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
6868
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
6870
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
6871
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
6872
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
6874
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
6875
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
6876
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
6878
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
6879
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
6881
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
6882
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
6884
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
6885
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
6888
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
6889
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
6891
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
6892
class that needs it.
6895
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
6896
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
6898
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
6899
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
6900
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
6902
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
6903
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
6904
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
6907
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
6908
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
6909
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
6910
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
6916
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
6917
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
6918
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
6920
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
6921
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
6922
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
6923
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
6925
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
6926
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
6929
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
6930
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
6931
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
6933
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
6934
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
6935
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
6937
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
6938
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
6940
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
6941
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
6942
to complete. (Robert Collins)
6944
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
6945
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
6947
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
6948
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
6949
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
6951
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
6952
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
6953
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
6955
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
6956
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
6957
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
6958
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
6960
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
6961
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
6962
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
6963
returned. (Robert Collins)
6965
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
6966
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
6968
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
6969
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
6970
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
6971
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
6974
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
6975
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
6980
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
6981
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
6983
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
6984
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
6985
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
6986
makes this behavior available to other users.
6989
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
6990
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
6996
:Released: 2007-09-26
7001
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
7002
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
7003
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
7005
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
7007
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
7008
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
7009
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
7010
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
7012
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
7013
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
7020
:Released: 2007-09-11
7022
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
7023
in bzrlib/remote.py.
7029
:Released: 2007-09-11
7034
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
7035
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
7036
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
7037
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
7040
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
7041
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
7042
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
7048
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
7049
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
7050
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
7053
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
7054
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
7055
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
7057
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
7058
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
7059
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
7061
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
7062
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
7064
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
7065
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
7066
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
7067
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
7068
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
7069
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
7070
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
7071
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
7072
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
7073
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
7075
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
7076
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
7078
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
7079
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
7080
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
7085
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
7086
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
7088
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
7089
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
7090
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
7092
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
7093
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
7095
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
7096
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
7098
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
7101
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
7102
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
7104
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
7105
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
7107
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
7108
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7110
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
7111
(Blake Winton, #129299)
7113
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
7115
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
7118
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
7119
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
7120
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
7121
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
7123
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7125
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
7126
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
7129
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
7130
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
7132
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
7133
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
7136
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
7137
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
7139
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
7140
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
7142
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
7143
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
7144
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
7145
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
7146
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
7147
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
7148
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
7150
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
7151
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
7153
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
7154
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
7156
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
7157
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
7159
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
7160
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
7162
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
7164
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
7166
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
7167
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
7169
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
7170
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
7171
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
7173
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
7174
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
7175
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
7180
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
7181
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
7183
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
7186
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
7189
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
7190
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
7192
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
7194
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
7195
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
7197
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
7198
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
7200
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
7201
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
7202
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
7203
space). (Robert Collins)
7205
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
7206
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
7209
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
7210
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7212
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
7213
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
7215
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
7216
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
7217
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
7218
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
7220
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
7221
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
7222
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
7225
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
7228
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
7229
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
7230
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
7232
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
7233
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
7234
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
7235
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
7236
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
7241
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
7242
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
7244
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
7245
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
7246
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
7247
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
7248
affected. (Robert Collins)
7250
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
7251
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
7252
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
7255
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
7256
previous release. (Martin Pool)
7261
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
7262
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
7264
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
7265
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7267
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
7268
previous release. (Martin Pool)
7270
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
7273
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
7274
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7279
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
7280
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
7281
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
7282
its version information. (Robert Collins)
7284
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
7285
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
7287
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
7288
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
7289
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
7290
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
7292
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
7293
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
7294
present. (Robert Collins)
7296
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
7297
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
7298
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
7299
API. (Robert Collins)
7301
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
7302
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
7305
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
7306
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
7308
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
7309
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
7310
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
7311
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
7312
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
7313
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
7315
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
7316
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
7317
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
7319
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
7320
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
7321
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
7322
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
7325
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
7328
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
7329
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
7330
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
7331
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
7332
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
7333
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
7334
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
7336
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
7337
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
7338
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
7339
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
7341
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
7342
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
7343
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
7344
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
7345
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
7346
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
7348
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
7349
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
7350
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
7352
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
7353
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
7359
:Released: 2007-08-28
7364
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
7365
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
7366
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
7367
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
7368
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
7369
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
7370
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
7371
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
7377
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
7378
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
7379
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
7385
:Released: 2007-08-14
7390
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
7391
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
7392
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
7393
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
7394
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
7396
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
7397
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
7399
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
7401
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
7403
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
7404
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
7407
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
7408
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
7411
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
7414
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
7415
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
7417
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
7418
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
7420
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
7421
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
7423
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
7424
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
7426
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
7427
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
7429
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
7435
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
7436
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
7438
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
7439
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
7441
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
7442
the repository (Robert Collins)
7444
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
7445
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
7446
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
7447
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
7448
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
7450
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
7451
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
7453
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
7454
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
7455
(John Arbash Meinel)
7457
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
7458
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
7459
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
7461
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
7462
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
7463
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
7464
(John Arbash Meinel)
7466
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
7467
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
7470
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
7471
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
7473
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
7476
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
7478
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
7480
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
7481
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
7483
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
7484
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
7487
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
7488
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
7489
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
7490
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
7492
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
7493
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
7494
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
7496
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
7497
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
7498
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
7500
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
7501
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
7503
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
7504
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
7505
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
7506
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
7507
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
7508
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
7511
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
7512
(Alexander Belchenko)
7514
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
7515
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
7517
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
7518
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
7520
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
7522
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
7523
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
7528
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
7529
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
7530
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
7531
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
7533
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
7535
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
7538
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
7539
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
7540
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
7541
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
7542
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
7543
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
7548
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
7549
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
7550
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
7551
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
7553
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
7554
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
7555
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
7556
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
7557
tests have been refactored too.
7560
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
7561
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
7562
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
7566
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
7567
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
7568
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
7570
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
7571
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
7572
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
7573
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
7574
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
7575
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
7576
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
7578
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
7579
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
7580
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
7581
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
7582
(John Arbash Meinel)
7584
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
7585
functionality for testing.
7587
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
7589
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
7590
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
7592
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
7594
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
7597
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
7598
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
7600
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
7601
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
7602
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
7604
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
7607
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
7608
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
7610
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
7611
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
7612
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
7613
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
7615
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
7616
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
7618
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
7619
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
7620
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
7622
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
7625
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
7626
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
7627
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
7628
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
7629
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
7630
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
7632
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
7633
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
7634
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
7635
many files. (Robert Collins)
7637
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
7638
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
7639
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
7640
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
7645
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
7646
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
7647
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
7649
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
7650
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
7652
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
7653
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
7654
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

7676
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
7677
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
7679
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
7680
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
7681
(James Westby, #122656)
7683
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
7684
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
7686
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
7687
authentication header.
7688
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
7690
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
7692
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
7693
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
7695
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
7697
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
7698
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)

* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
7701
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
7702
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
7704
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
7705
individually and as part of revision ranges.
7706
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
7708
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
7709
(Martin Pool, #109169)
7711
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
7712
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
7714
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
7715
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
7717
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
7719
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
7724
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
7725
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
7726
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
7727
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
7728
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
7729
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
7731
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
7732
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
7733
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
7735
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
7738
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
7739
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
7741
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
7742
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
7744
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
7745
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
7747
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
7748
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
7749
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
7750
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
7751
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
7753
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
7754
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
7756
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
7757
can be slow it is useful feedback).
7758
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
7760
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
7761
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
7763
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
7765
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
7766
output. (Aaron Bentley)
7768
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
7769
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
7772
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
7775
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
7776
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
7778
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
7779
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
7781
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
7782
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
7784
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
7786
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
7787
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
7789
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
7795
* Testing cleanups -
7796
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
7797
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
7798
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
7799
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
7800
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7801
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
7802
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7803
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
7804
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7805
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
7806
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
7807
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
7808
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7809
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
7810
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
7811
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
7812
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
7815
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
7817
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
7818
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
7819
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
7821
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
7822
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
7824
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
7825
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7827
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
7829
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
7830
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
7831
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
7832
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
7833
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
7834
same location. (Robert Collins)
7839
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
7841
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
7843
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
7845
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
7848
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
7851
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
7852
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
7853
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
7855
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
7857
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
7858
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
7859
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
7861
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
7862
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
7864
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
7865
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
7866
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
7868
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
7869
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
7870
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
7872
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
7873
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
7874
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
7876
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
7877
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
7880
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
7881
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
7883
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
7884
(Alexander Belchenko)
7889
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
7890
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
7891
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
7892
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
7894
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
7895
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
7896
testing. (Robert Collins)
7898
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
7899
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
7901
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
7902
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
7903
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
7904
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
7905
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
7906
attribute during the test parameterisation in
7907
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
7909
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
7910
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
7911
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
7912
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
7914
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
7915
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
7917
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
7918
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
7943
********************
7945
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
7946
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
7947
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
7948
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
7949
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
7950
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
7951
and unlock() like so::
7953
work_tree.lock_read()
7955
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
7961
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
7962
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
7964
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
7965
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
7966
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
7968
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
7969
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
7970
too. (Robert Collins)
7975
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
7976
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
7979
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
7980
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
7982
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
7983
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
7985
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
7986
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
7987
understanding what changes have occurred
7988
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
7990
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
7991
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
7992
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
7994
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
7995
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
7996
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
7997
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
7999
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
8005
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
8006
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
8007
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
8008
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
8009
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
8011
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
8012
based on split paths, not just string paths.
8013
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
8015
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
8016
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
8018
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
8020
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
8022
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
8023
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
8025
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
8026
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
8028
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
8029
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
8031
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
8032
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
8034
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
8035
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
8037
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
8038
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
8039
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
8044
:Released: 2007-05-07
8049
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
8050
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
8051
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
8052
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
8053
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
8055
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
8056
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
8057
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
8059
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
8060
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
8065
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
8066
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
8067
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
8069
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
8070
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
8071
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
8072
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
8077
:Released: 2007-04-30
8082
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
8083
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
8084
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
8085
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
8087
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
8088
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
8089
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
8091
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
8092
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
8094
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
8095
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
8097
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
8098
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
8103
:Released: 2007-04-26
8105
Notes When Upgrading
8106
********************
8108
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
8109
it could be recovered again.
8110
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
8111
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
8112
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
8114
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
8116
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
8117
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
8122
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
8123
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
8125
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
8126
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
8127
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
8128
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
8130
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
8131
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
8133
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
8134
tests with names that match that regular expression.
8135
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
8137
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
8138
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
8139
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
8141
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
8142
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
8143
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
8145
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
8146
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
8149
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
8152
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
8153
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
8154
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
8155
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
8157
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
8160
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
8161
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
8162
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
8165
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
8166
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
8168
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
8169
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
8171
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
8172
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
8173
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
8174
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
8177
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
8178
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
8180
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
8181
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
8183
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
8184
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
8185
(Robert Collins, #107125).
8187
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
8188
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
8189
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
8191
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
8192
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
8193
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8195
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
8196
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
8197
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
8198
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
8200
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
8201
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
8202
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
8203
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
8205
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
8206
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
8207
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
8208
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
8209
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
8210
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
8211
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
8212
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
8219
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
8220
code paths. (Robert Collins)
8222
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
8223
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
8224
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
8225
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
8226
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
8228
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
8229
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
8231
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
8232
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
8234
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
8235
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
8237
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
8238
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
8240
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
8241
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
8242
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
8245
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
8246
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
8247
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
8248
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
8249
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
8252
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
8253
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
8254
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
8256
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
8257
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
8260
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
8261
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
8262
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
8265
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
8266
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
8267
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
8268
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
8269
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
8271
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
8272
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
8273
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
8274
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
8276
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
8277
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
8279
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
8280
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
8281
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
8282
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
8283
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
8284
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
8286
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
8287
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
8289
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
8290
help. (Robert Collins)
8292
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
8293
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
8295
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
8296
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
8297
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
8298
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
8299
(John Arbash Meinel)
8301
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
8302
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
8303
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
8304
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
8305
useful. (Robert Collins)
8307
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
8313
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
8314
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
8316
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
8317
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
8319
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
8320
properly and is no longer beneficial.
8321
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
8323
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
8326
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
8327
the file, and does it faster.
8328
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
8330
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
8331
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
8332
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
8334
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
8335
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
8336
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
8337
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
8339
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
8340
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
8341
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
8342
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
8344
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
8345
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
8347
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
8348
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
8349
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
8350
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
8353
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
8355
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
8356
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
8358
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
8359
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
8361
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
8362
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
8363
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
8364
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
8368
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
8369
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
8374
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
8375
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
8376
in running it. (Robert Collins)
8378
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
8379
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
8381
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
8382
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
8383
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
8384
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
8385
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
8386
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
8387
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
8388
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
8390
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
8391
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
8392
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
8394
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
8395
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
8396
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
8397
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
8398
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
8400
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
8402
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
8403
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
8404
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
8406
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
8407
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
8413
:Released: 2007-04-01
8418
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
8421
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
8422
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
8428
:Released: 2007-03-26
8433
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
8434
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
8440
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
8441
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
8442
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
8443
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
8444
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
8445
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
8446
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
8447
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
8453
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
8454
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
8455
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
8457
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
8458
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
8461
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
8462
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
8463
(John Arbash Meinel)
8465
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
8466
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
8467
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
8468
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
8469
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
8474
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
8477
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
8478
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
8480
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
8481
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
8483
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
8484
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
8485
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
8487
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
8488
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
8490
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
8491
last-changed-revision for directories. The
8492
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
8493
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
8494
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
8496
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
8497
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
8498
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
8500
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

8508
Notes When Upgrading
8509
********************
8511
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
8512
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
8513
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
8518
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
8519
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
8521
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
8522
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
8524
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
8526
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
8527
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
8529
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
8530
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
8535
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
8541
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
8542
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
8543
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
8544
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
8546
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
8547
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
8549
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
8550
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
8552
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
8555
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
8556
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
8562
:Released: 2007-03-07
8567
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
8568
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
8569
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
8570
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
8571
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
8572
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
8574
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
8575
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
8576
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
8577
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
8578
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
8579
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
8581
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
8583
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
8584
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
8585
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
8586
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
8587
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
8588
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
8589
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
8590
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
8595
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
8596
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
8598
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
8599
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
8600
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
8601
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
8603
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
8604
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
8605
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
8606
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
8607
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
8609
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
8612
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
8615
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
8618
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
8619
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
8622
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
8625
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
8626
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
8628
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
8629
directory. (Martin Pool)
8631
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
8632
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
8633
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
8634
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
8636
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
8637
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
8638
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
8639
in docs/configuration.txt.
8641
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
8642
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
8645
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
8646
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
8647
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
8648
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
8649
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
8650
repositories. (Martin Pool)
8652
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
8653
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
8655
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
8656
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
8658
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
8664
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
8665
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
8666
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
8667
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
8668
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
8669
(John Arbash Meinel)
8671
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
8672
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
8675
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
8676
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
8677
(John Arbash Meinel)
8679
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
8680
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
8681
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
8682
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
8683
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
8684
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
8686
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
8687
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
8688
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
8690
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
8691
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
8692
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
8693
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
8695
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8697
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
8698
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
8699
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
8700
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
8702
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
8703
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
8704
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
8705
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
8707
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
8708
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
8709
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
8711
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
8712
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
8713
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
8715
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
8716
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
8717
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
8718
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
8720
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
8721
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
8722
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
8724
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
8725
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
8726
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
8728
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
8729
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
8730
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
8731
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
8732
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
8733
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
8734
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
8735
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
8736
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
8737
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
8738
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
8743
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
8744
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
8745
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
8747
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
8750
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
8751
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
8752
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
8753
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
8755
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
8756
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
8759
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
8760
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)

* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
8764
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
8765
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
8766
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
8768
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.

* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
8806
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
8807
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
8809
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
8810
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
8811
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
8817
:Released: 2007-01-16
8822
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
8823
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
8824
server, then you can write over the http connection.
8825
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
8827
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
8830
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
8831
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
8832
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
8834
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
8835
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
8837
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
8840
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
8841
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
8842
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
8843
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
8844
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
8845
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
8847
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
8848
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
8849
should enable you to do::
8851
[/home/user/project]
8852
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
8853
push_location:policy = appendpath
8855
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
8856
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
8859
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
8860
for each file. For example::
8862
$ bzr status --short
8868
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
8869
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
8871
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
8873
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
8874
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
8876
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
8881
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
8882
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
8883
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
8884
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
8886
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
8887
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
8888
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
8890
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
8892
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
8893
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
8894
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
8895
(Alexander Belchenko)
8897
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
8900
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
8901
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
8903
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
8908
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
8909
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
8911
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
8912
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
8913
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
8914
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
8915
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
8917
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
8918
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
8920
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
8921
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
8923
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
8925
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
8927
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
8928
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
8929
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
8930
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
8931
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
8933
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
8934
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
8935
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
8936
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
8938
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
8939
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
8941
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
8942
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
8944
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
8945

* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
8969
(Daniel Silverstone)
8971
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
8972
operations are substantially faster.
8973
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
8975
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
8976
tree from some other url. For example:
8977
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
8978
(Daniel Silverstone)
8980
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
8981
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
8982
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
8983
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
8985
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
8988
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
8989
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
8990
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
8991
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
8992
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
8993
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
8998
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
8999
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
9002
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
9003
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
9004
(John Arbash Meinel)
9006
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
9007
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
9008
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
9009
(John Arbash Meinel)
9011
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
9012
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
9014
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
9015
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
9017
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
9018
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
9024
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
9025
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
9026
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
9028
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
9029
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
9030
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
9031
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
9033
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
9035
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
9036
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
9038
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
9039
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
9040
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
9041
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
9043
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
9044
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
9045
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
9047
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
9048
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
9049
them as full references rather than integers.
9050
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
9052
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
9053
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
9055
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
9057
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
9058
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
9060
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
9061
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
9063
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
9064
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
9065
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
9066
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
9068
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
9069
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
9070
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
9072
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
9073
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
9075
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
9076
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
9077
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
9078
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.

* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
9085

9107
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
9108
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
9109
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
9110
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
9112
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
9113
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
9115
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
9117
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
9118
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
9119
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
9120
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
9122
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
9123
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
9124
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
9125
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
9126
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
9131
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
9132
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
9137
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
9138
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
9139
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
9141
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
9142
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
9143
(John Arbash Meinel)
9145
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
9146
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
9147
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
9149
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
9150
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
9153
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
9154
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
9155
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
9157
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
9158
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
9159
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
9160
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
9161
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
9162
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
9164
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
9165
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
9166
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
9169
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
9170
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
9175
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
9176
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
9177
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
9180
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
9181
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
9183
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
9184
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
9185
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
9187
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
9188
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
9190
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
9191
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
9192
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
9193
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
9195
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
9196
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
9198
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
9199
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
9200
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
9202
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
9203
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
9205
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
9207
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
9208
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
9214
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
9215
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
9216
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
9217
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
9219
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
9220
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
9221
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)

:Released: 2006-09-25
9251
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
9252
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
9253
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
9254
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
9255
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
9256
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
9257
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
9259
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
9260
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
9261
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
9263
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
9265
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
9266
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
9268
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
9269
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
9270
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
9273
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
9274
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
9275
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
9276
(John Arbash Meinel)
9278
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
9279
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
9280
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
9281
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
9284
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
9285
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
9286
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
9287
(John Arbash Meinel)
9292
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
9293
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
9295
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
9297
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
9298
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
9299
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)

9304
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
9305
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
9307
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
9308
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
9310
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
9311
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
9313
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
9315
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
9316
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
9318
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
9319
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
9321
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
9322
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
9324
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
9325
(John Arbash Meinel)
9327
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
9328
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
9329
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
9331
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
9332
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
9334
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
9335
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
9336
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
9337
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
9339
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
9340
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
9341
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
9343
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
9344
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
9349
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
9354
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
9355
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
9356
(John Arbash Meinel)
9358
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
9359
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
9360
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
9361
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
9363
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
9366
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
9367
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
9368
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
9370
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
9371
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
9373
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
9374
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
9375
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
9377
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
9378
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
9379
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
9380
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
9381
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
9382
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
9383
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
9384
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
9385
caller to repeat their request.
9386
(John Arbash Meinel)
9388
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
9389
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
9391
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
9392
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
9394
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
9395
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
9396
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
9397
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
9398
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
9399
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
9400
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
9402
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
9403
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
9404
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
9405
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
9406
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
9407
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
9408
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
9409
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
9412
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
9413
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
9414
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
9416
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
9417
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
9419
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
9420
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
9422
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
9423
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
9428
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
9429
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
9431
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
9432
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
9433
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
9435
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
9436
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
9437
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
9442
:Released: 2006-08-29
9446
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
9447
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
9449
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
9450
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
9451
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
9452
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
9453
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
9455
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
9456
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
9457
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
9459
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
9460
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
9462
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
9463
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
9464
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
9469
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
9471
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
9472
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
9473
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
9475
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
9477
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
9479
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
9480
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
9481
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
9482
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
9484
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
9485
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
9486
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
9487
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
9488
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
9490
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
9491
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
9493
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
9494
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
9496
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
9497
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
9499
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
9500
in handling of revision properties.
9501
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
9503
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
9504
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
9509
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
9510
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
9511
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
9512
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
9513
(John Arbash Meinel)
9515
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
9516
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
9517
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
9522
:Released: 2006-08-11
9527
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
9528
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
9529
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
9530
specific one '.bzrignore'.
9531
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
9532
a more conservative list than the old default.
9533
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
9534
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
9535
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
9536
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
9538
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
9539
to more locations than just branch locations.
9545
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
9546
revno:N:branch. For example,
9547
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
9548
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
9550
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
9551
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
9552
the path of a file that has been versioned.
9553
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
9554
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
9555
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
9556
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
9557
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
9560
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
9561
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
9562
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
9565
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
9566
(Alexander Belchenko)
9568
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
9570
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
9573
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
9574
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
9575
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
9576
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
9577
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
9578
(John Arbash Meinel)
9580
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
9581
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
9582
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
9583
grained analysis of performance.
9584
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
9586
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
9587
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
9589
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
9590
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
9591
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
9592
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
9593
file. (Robert Collins).
9595
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
9596
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
9597
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
9599
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
9600
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
9603
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
9604
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
9606
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
9607
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
9608
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
9609
the same way you would apply another branch.
9610
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
9612
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
9613
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
9615
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
9618
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
9621
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
9622
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
9623
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
9625
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
9626
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
9627
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
9629
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
9630
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
9632
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
9633
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
9634
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
9635
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
9636
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
9638
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
9639
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
9641
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
9642
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
9643
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
9644
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
9645
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
9646
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
9647
branch is as much as 4x faster.
9648
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
9650
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
9651
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
9652
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
9657
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
9659
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
9661
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
9662
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
9664
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
9665
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
9667
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
9668
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
9670
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
9672
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
9673
(John Arbash Meinel)
9675
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
9676
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
9678
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
9679
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
9682
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
9683
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
9685
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
9686
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
9688
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
9689
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
9690
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
9691
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
9693
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
9694
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
9696
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
9698
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
9699
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
9701
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
9703
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
9705
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
9706
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
9708
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
9709
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
9711
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
9712
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
9713
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
9715
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
9716
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
9717
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
9719
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
9720
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
9722
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
9723
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
9725
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
9726
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
9728
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
9729
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
9731
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
9732
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
9734
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
9735
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
9736
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
9738
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
9740
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
9741
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
9746
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
9747
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
9748
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
9750
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
9751
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
9753
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
9754
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
9755
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
9757
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
9758
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
9760
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
9761
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
9764
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
9765
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
9766
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
9768
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
9769
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
9770
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
9772
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
9773
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
9774
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
9776
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
9777
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
9778
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
9780
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
9781
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
9782
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
9784
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
9785
instead. (Robert Collins)
9787
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
9792
:Released: 2006-05-17
9797
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
9802
:Released: 2006-05-16
9807
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
9808
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
9810
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
9811
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9813
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
9814
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
9815
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
9820
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
9822
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
9823
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
9825
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
9830
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
9831
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
9832
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
9833
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
9838
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
9839
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
9840
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
9845
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
9846
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
9847
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9852
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
9853
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)

Notes When Upgrading
9861
********************
9863
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
9864
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
9865
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
9866
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
9867
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
9868
will keep the same format.
9870
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
9871
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
9872
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
9873
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
9874
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
9876
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
9877
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
9878
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
9879
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
9880
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
9881
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
9882
indicating the current revision of the branch.
9884
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
9885
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
9886
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
9887
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
9888
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
9890
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
9891
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
9892
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
9899
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
9900
convention. Paths now take the form::
9902
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
9904
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
9906
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
9907
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
9909
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
9910
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
9911
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
9913
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
9914
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
9915
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
9916
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
9918
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
9919
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
9920
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
9922
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
9924
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
9926
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
9927
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
9930
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
9931
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
9934
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
9936
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
9937
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
9938
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
9941
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
9943
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
9945
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
9948
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
9949
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
9951
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
9952
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
9955
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
9956
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
9959
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
9961
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
9963
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
9964
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
9966
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
9967
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
9968
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
9969
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
9970
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
9971
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
9973
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
9975
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
9976
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
9979
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
9980
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
9982
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
9983
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
9985
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
9987
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
9988
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
9989
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
9990
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
9991
specification by Martin Pool.
9992
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
9994
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
9997
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
9998
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
10000
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
10001
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
10002
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
10004
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
10006
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
10007
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
10013
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
10014
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10016
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
10018
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
10020
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
10023
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
10024
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
10025
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
10026
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
10031
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
10032
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
10033
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
10034
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10036
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
10037
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
10038
tried. (Martin Pool)
10040
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
10043
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
10045
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
10046
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
10047
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
10049
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
10050
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
10052
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
10053
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
10054
paths. (Robert Collins)
10056
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
10057
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
10058
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
10060
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
10061
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
10062
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
10064
* Progress bars are now nested - see
10065
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
10066
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
10068
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
10071
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
10074
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
10076
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
10078
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
10079
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
10080
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
10083
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
10084
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
10086
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
10087
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
10088
check. (Robert Collins)
10090
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
10091
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
10096
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
10097
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
10099
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
10100
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
10101
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
10102
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
10104
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
10105
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
10106
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
10107
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
10108
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
10110
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
10111
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
10112
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
10114
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
10116
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
10117
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
10122
:Released: 2006-01-09
10127
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
10128
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
10130
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
10131
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
10132
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
10135
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
10136
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
10138
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
10139
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
10140
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
10141
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
10142
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
10144
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
10145
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
10146
used. (Robert Collins)
10148
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
10149
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
10152
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
10153
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
10154
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
10156
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
10159
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
10160
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
10165
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
10166
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
10168
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
10170
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
10172
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
10173
tree. (Robert Collins)
10175
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
10176
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
10177
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
10180
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
10183
* Tweaks to short log printing
10185
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
10188
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
10189
occurs. (Martin Pool)
10191
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
10192
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
10194
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
10195
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
10197
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
10198
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
10199
settings. (Magnus Therning)
10201
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
10202
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
10204
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
10205
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
10208
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
10209
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
10211
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
10212
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
10214
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
10215
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
10217
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
10220
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
10221
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
10223
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
10224
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
10226
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
10227
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
10228
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
10233
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
10235
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
10237
* Error when run with -OO
10239
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
10242
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
10244
* Change status to 3 for all errors
10246
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
10247
ignored by diff and status
10249
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
10250
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
10252
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
10254
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
10256
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
10257
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
10259
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
10260
email address. (Marien Zwart)
10262
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
10265
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
10266
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
10268
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
10270
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
10271
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
10273
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
10276
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
10277
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
10279
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
10284
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
10285
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
10287
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
10289
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
10291
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
10293
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
10294
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
10295
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
10297
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
10299
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
10300
(John Arbash Meinel)
10302
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
10304
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
10305
If adding a new test script please add that to
10306
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
10308
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
10309
imported. (Martin Pool)
10311
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
10312
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
10313
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
10314
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
10315
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
10318
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
10319
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
10320
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
10322
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
10323
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
10324
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
10326
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
10327
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
10328
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
10329
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
10330
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
10333
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
10334
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
10340
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
10341
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
10343
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
10344
function. (Robert Collins)
10346
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
10347
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
10348
if needed). (Robert Collins)
10350
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
10351
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
10354
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
10355
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
10356
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
10357
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
10358
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
10359
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
10360
version. (Robert Collins)
10362
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
10363
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
10365
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
10366
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
10367
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
10368
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
10369
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
10370
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
10372
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
10375
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
10385
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
10387
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
10389
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
10392
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
10393
query method. (Robert Collins)
10395
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
10398
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
10401
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
10404
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
10405
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
10406
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
10407
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
10409
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
10410
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
10411
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
10412
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
10414
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
10415
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

:Released: 2005-10-28
10425
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
10428
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
10432
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
10433
a separator, not ':'.
10436
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
10437
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
10438
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
10440
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
10441
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
10444
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
10445
has been added that suppresses all output.
10447
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
10450
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
10451
Goffredo Baroncelli.
10453
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
10454
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
10456
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
10457
a revision. (Robert Collins)
10459
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
10460
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
10461
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
10462
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
10464
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
10466
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
10467
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
10469
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
10470
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
10472
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
10473
output directory, if one was supplied.
10475
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
10476
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
10477
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
10478
parameters. (Robert Collins)
10480
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
10482
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
10483
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
10485
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
10486
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
10487
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
10489
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
10490
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
10492
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
10495
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
10497
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
10502
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
10503
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
10504
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
10506
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
10507
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
10508
related questions. (Robert Collins)
10510
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
10511
is given. (Martin Pool)
10513
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
10514
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
10515
file. (Robert Collins)
10517
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
10523
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
10524
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
10525
representation. (Martin Pool).
10527
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
10528
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
10529
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
10531
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
10534
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
10535
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
10538
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
10539
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
10540
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
10541
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
10542
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
10544
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
10545
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
10546
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
10547
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
10548
python path. (Robert Collins)
10550
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
10551
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
10552
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
10553
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
10555
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
10556
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
10558
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
10559
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
10562
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
10563
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
10564
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
10566
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
10567
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
10568
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
10570
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
10571
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
10573
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
10574
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
10575
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
10578
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
10579
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
10580
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
10581
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
10584
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
10587
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
10588
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
10591
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
10592
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
10593
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
10595
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
10596
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
10597
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
10599
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
10600
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
10601
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
10603
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
10604
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
10606
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
10607
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
10608
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
10609
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
10610
caller. (Robert Collins)
10612
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
10613
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
10616
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
10617
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
10620
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
10622
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
10623
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
10628
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
10629
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
10631
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
10632
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
10638
:Released: 2005-10-12
10643
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
10644
allow directories to be listed.
10646
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
10647
upgrading branch format.
10652
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
10658
:Released: 2005-10-11
10663
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
10664
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
10665
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
10666
high-latency connections.
10671
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
10674
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
10675
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
10677
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
10678
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
10679
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
10680
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
10682
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
10683
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
10685
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
10686
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
10688
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
10689
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
10690
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
10692
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
10693
for files with only a change to their executable status.
10694
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
10697
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
10698
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
10700
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
10701
different partial views of history.
10703
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
10704
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
10709
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
10710
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
10711
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
10713
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
10714
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
10717
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
10718
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
10720
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
10723
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
10724
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
10726
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
10727
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
10728
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
10729
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
10731
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
10733
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
10734
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
10737
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
10738
Contributed by Robert Collins.
10740
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
10741
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
10742
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
10748
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
10749
for your viewing pleasure.
10751
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
10752
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
10754
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
10755
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
10756
handling of such circumstances.
10758
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
10759
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
10760
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
10762
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
10764
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
10765
we call them revisions not patches.
10767
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
10768
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
10770
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
10771
giving the revision *of that file*.
10773
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
10774
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
10775
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
10780
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
10781
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
10783
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
10784
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
10790
:Released: 2005-09-23
10795
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
10797
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
10800
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
10802
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
10804
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
10805
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
10810
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
10811
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
10813
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
10814
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
10815
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
10816
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
10819
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
10820
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
10825
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
10827
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
10828
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
10834
:Released: 2005-09-20
10840
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
10841
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
10842
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
10843
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
10846
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
10849
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
10850
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
10851
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
10852
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
10853
for the operating system is still tried.
10855
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
10856
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
10857
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
10863
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
10868
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
10870
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
10873
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
10880
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
10882
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
10888
:Released: 2005-09-02
10893
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
10894
help with intelligent shell completion.
10896
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
10902
* Much better merge support.
10904
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
10905
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
10912
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
10913
mention revisions that are not present.
10915
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
10917
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
10919
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
10920
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
10926
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
10928
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
10929
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
10936
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
10937
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
10945
:Released: 2005-08-18
10950
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
10951
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
10953
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
10955
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
10956
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
10958
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
10961
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
10963
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
10966
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
10967
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
10969
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
10970
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
10971
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
10977
* Faster working tree operations.
10983
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
10984
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
10985
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
10986
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
10988
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
10989
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
10990
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
10991
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
10992
standard plugins directory.
10994
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
10995
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
10996
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
10997
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
10999
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
11000
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
11002
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
11005
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
11006
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
11007
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
11009
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
11010
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
11012
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
11013
line options must come before the command name because they
11014
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
11015
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
11018
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
11020
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
11021
is available with ``--short``.
11027
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
11033
:Released: 2005-06-15
11038
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
11039
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
11041
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
11042
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
11043
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
11044
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
11046
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
11047
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
11048
with the ``--forward`` option.
11050
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
11051
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
11058
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
11059
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
11061
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
11063
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
11064
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
11066
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
11068
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
11069
either read or write mode.
11071
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
11073
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
11074
affected that file.
11076
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
11078
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
11079
suggested by LarstiQ.
11081
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
11082
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
11084
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
11087
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
11088
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
11090
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
11091
haven't changed since the previous time.
11093
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
11094
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
11096
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
11098
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
11100
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
11101
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
11103
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
11104
options through to an external GNU diff.
11106
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
11109
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
11116
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be

handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
11119
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
11126
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
11127
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
11130
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
11131
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
11133
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
11134
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
11136
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
11137
under a different version.
11139
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
11145
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
11147
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
11148
Scott James Remnant.
11150
* Better help messages for many commands.
11152
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
11153
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
11155
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
11156
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
11158
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
11160
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
11162
* New AtomicFile class.
11164
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
11170
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
11171
2.4 is now only recommended.
11177
:Released: 2005-04-22
11182
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
11183
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
11185
* More default ignore patterns.
11187
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
11188
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
11190
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
11192
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
11195
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
11201
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
11202
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
11203
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
11204
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
11205
there are DNS problems.
11207
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
11213
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
11215
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
11217
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
11218
trailing newlines properly.
11224
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
11227
* More tests in test.sh.
11229
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
11230
directory and delete it when done.
11232
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
11238
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
11241
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
11248
:Released: 2005-04-06
11253
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
11256
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
11258
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
11261
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
11264
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
11266
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
11271
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
11272
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
11278
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
11279
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
11285
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
11290
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
6030
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
