--------------
10
11
This release adds a translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish.
12
(Contributions of other translations would be very welcome.)
13
14
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
15
16
CHANGES:
17
18
FEATURES:
19
20
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
21
load. (James Westby)
22
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)
31
32
IMPROVEMENTS:
33
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)
37
38
BUGFIXES:
39
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)
44
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)
48
49
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
50
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
51
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
52
53
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
54
them.
55
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
56
57
DOCUMENTATION:
58
59
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
60
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
61
62
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
63
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
64
(Ian Clatworthy)
65
66
TESTING:
67
68
* New helper function for splitting test suites
69
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
70
71
INTERNALS:
72
73
API BREAKS:
74
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)
81
82
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
83
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
84
(Robert Collins)
85
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)
89
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.
94
(Robert Collins)

97
bzr 1.5 2008-05-16
98
------------------
99
100
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
101
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
102
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
103
104
CHANGES:
105
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)
109
110
DOCUMENTATION:
111
112
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
113
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
114
(Ian Clatworthy)
115
116
117
bzr 1.5rc1 2008-05-09
118
---------------------
119
120
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
121
122
CHANGES:
123
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)
128
129
FEATURES:
130
131
IMPROVEMENTS:
132
133
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
134
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley)
135
136
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
137
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
138
139
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
140
(Aaron Bentley)
141
142
BUGFIXES:
143
144
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
145
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
146
147
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
148
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
149
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)
153
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)
157
158
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
159
(Andreas Deininger)
160
161
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
162
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
163
164
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
165
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
166
167
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
168
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
169
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)
172
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)
176
177
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
178
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
179
180
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
181
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
182
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)
187
188
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
189
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
190
(Martin Pool)
191
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)
195
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)
202
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)
205
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)
210
211
DOCUMENTATION:
212
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)
217
218
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
219
220
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
221
222
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
223
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
224
225
TESTING:
226
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)
230
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)
235
236
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
237
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
238
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)
243
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)
248
249
INTERNALS:
250
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)
254
255
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
256
257
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
258
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
259
260
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
261
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
262
263
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
264
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
265
266
API BREAKS:
267
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)
271
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.
275
(Aaron Bentley)
276
277
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` is deprecated, as a start towards
278
removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
279
(Martin Pool)
280
281
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
282
(Martin Pool)

285
bzr 1.4 2008-04-28
286
------------------
287
288
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
289
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
290
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
291
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
292
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
293
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
294
and faster performance.
295
296
BUG FIXES:
297
298
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
299
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
300
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
301
(John Arbash Meinel, Andrew Bennetts, #214894)
302
303
304
bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
305
---------------------
306
307
BUG FIXES:
308
309
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
310
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
311
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
312
313
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
314
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
315
316
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
317
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
318
319
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
320
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
321
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
322
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
323
every revision each side had in common.
324
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
325
326
327
bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
328
---------------------
329
330
CHANGES:
331
332
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
333
334
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
335
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
336
337
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
338
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
339
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
340
341
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
342
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
343
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
344
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
345
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
346
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
347
Andrew Cowie)
348
349
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
350
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
351
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
352
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
353
354
FEATURES:
355
356
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
357
358
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
359
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
360
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
361
362
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
363
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
364
See the User Reference for signature details.
365
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
366
367
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
368
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
369
370
IMPROVEMENTS:
371
372
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
373
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
374
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
375
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
376
377
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
378
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
379
380
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
381
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
382
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
383
Wouter van Heyst)
384
385
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
386
(Chad Miller)
387
388
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
389
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
390
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
391
392
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
393
(Aaron Bentley)
394
395
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
396
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
397
398
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
399
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
400
401
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
402
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
403
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
404
405
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
406
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
407
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
408
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
409
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
410
411
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
412
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
413
414
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
415
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
416
417
BUGFIXES:
418
419
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
420
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
421
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
422
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
423
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
424
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
425
426
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
427
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
428
429
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
430
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
431
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
432
433
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
434
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
435
436
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
437
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
438
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
439
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
440
441
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
442
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
443
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
444
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
445
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
446
447
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
448
449
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
450
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
451
452
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
453
454
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
455
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
456
457
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
458
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
459
460
DOCUMENTATION:
461
462
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
463
464
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
465
466
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
467
468
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
469
470
API BREAKS:
471
472
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
473
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
474
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
475
476
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
477
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
478
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
479
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
480
481
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
482
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
483
release. (James Westby)
484
485
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
486
(Andrew Bennetts)
487
488
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
489
490
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
491
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
492
493
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
494
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
495
496
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
497
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
498
499
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
500
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
501
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
502
503
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
504
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
505
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
506
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
507
508
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
509
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
510
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
511
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
512
513
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
514
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
515
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
516
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
517
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
518
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
519
520
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
521
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
522
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
523
524
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
525
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
526
527
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
528
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
529
(Robert Collins)
530
531
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
532
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
533
534
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
535
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
536
537
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
538
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
539
540
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
541
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
542
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
543
544
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
545
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
546
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
547
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
548
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
549
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
550
551
TESTING:
552
553
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
554
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
555
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
556
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
557
558
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
559
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
560
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
561
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
562
implement this).
563
(Vincent Ladeuil)
564
565
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
566
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
567
(Vincent Ladeuil)
568
569
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
570
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
571
572
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
573
574
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
575
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
576
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
577
578
INTERNALS:
579
580
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
581
582
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
583
(Martin Albisetti)
584
585
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
586
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
587
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
588
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
589
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
590
(Martin Pool, #109520)
591
592
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
593
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
594
595
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
596
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
597
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
598
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
599
600
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
601
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
602
603
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
604
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

616
BUG FIXES:
617
618
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
619
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
620
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).

bzr 1.3 2008-03-20
625
------------------
626
627
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
628
629
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
630
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
631
features have been added.
632
633
TESTING:
634
635
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
636

643
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
644
645
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
646
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
647
648
CHANGES:
649
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.
654
(Robert Collins)
655
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)
662
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)
667
668
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
669
670
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
671
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
672
673
FEATURES:
674
675
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
676
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
677
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.
680
(Jelmer Vernooij)
681
682
IMPROVEMENTS:
683
684
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
685
686
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
687
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)
691
692
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
693
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
694
695
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
696
to. (Daniel Watkins)
697
698
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
699
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
700
(Alexander Belchenko)
701
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)
706
707
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
708
(Daniel Watkins)
709
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)
715
716
BUGFIXES:
717
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)
722
723
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
724
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
725
726
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
727
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
728
729
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
730
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
731
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
732
733
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
734
(#198793, John Ferlito)
735
736
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
737
#196618)
738
739
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
740
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
741
742
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
743
744
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
745
746
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
747
symlinks (James Henstridge)
748
749
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
750
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
751
752
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
753
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
754
755
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
756
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
757
758
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
759
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
760
761
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
762
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
763
764
DOCUMENTATION:
765
766
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
767
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
768
769
API BREAKS:
770
771
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
772
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
773
(Alexander Belchenko)
774
775
TESTING:
776
777
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
778
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
779
(Robert Collins)
780
781
INTERNALS:
782
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)
786
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)
791
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)
796
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.
800
(Robert Collins)
801
802
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
803
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
804
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
805
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)
809
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)

bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
825
---------------------
826
827
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
828
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.
834
(Andrew Bennetts)
835
836
CHANGES:
837
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)
840
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)
844
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.
851
(Aaron Bentley)
852
853
FEATURES:
854
855
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
856
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
857
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.
861
(Robert Collins)
862
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)
868
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)
877
878
IMPROVEMENTS:
879
880
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
881
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
882
883
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
884
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
885
886
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
887
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
888
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)
892
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.
895
(John Arbash Meinel)
896
897
BUGFIXES:
898
899
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
900
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
901
902
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
903
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
904
905
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
906
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
907
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)
911
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)
915
916
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
917
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
918
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
924
unittest runner.
925
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
926
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,
929
#185907)
930
931
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.

* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
935
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
936
937
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
938
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
939
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)
943
944
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
945
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
946
947
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
948
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
949
950
API BREAKS:
951
952
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
953
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
954
955
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
956
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
957
(Martin Pool)
958
959
TESTING:
960
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.
963
(Vincent Ladeuil)
964
965
INTERNALS:
966
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)
970
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)
974
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)
979
980
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
981
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)
986
987
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
988
operate. (Robert Collins)
989
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)
993
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)
998
999
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1000
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1001
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)
1005
1006
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1007
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1008
1009
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1010
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1011
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)

---------------------
1025
1026
CHANGES:
1027
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)
1032
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``.
1037
1038
FEATURES:
1039
1040
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1041
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1042
1043
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1044
(Aaron Bentley)
1045
1046
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1047
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1048
1049
IMPROVEMENTS:
1050
1051
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1052
#90049)
1053
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)
1057
1058
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1059
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)
1065
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)
1069
1070
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1071
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1072
1073
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1074
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1075
1076
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1077
1078
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1079
1080
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1081
(Aaron Bentley)
1082
1083
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1084
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1085
1086
BUGFIXES:
1087
1088
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1089
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1090
1091
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1092
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1093
1094
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1095
(Aaron Bentley)
1096
1097
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1098
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1099
1100
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1101
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1102
1103
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1104
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1105
1106
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1107
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1108
1109
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1110
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1111
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1112
1113
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1114
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1115
1116
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1117
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1118
(Aaron Bentley)
1119
1120
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1121
1122
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1123
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1124
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1125
1126
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1127
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1128
1129
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1130
(Aaron Bentley)
1131
1132
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1133
#148087)
1134
1135
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1136
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1137
1138
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1139
#137681)
1140
1141
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1142
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1143
(Aaron Bentley)
1144
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)
1148
1149
DOCUMENTATION:
1150
1151
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1152
(Ian Clatworthy)
1153
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)
1160
1161
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1162
1163
INTERNALS:
1164
1165
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
1166
(Aaron Bentley)
1167
1168
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
1169
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1170
1171
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1172
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,
1176
Robert Collins)
1177
1178
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1179
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1180
1181
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
1182
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1183
1184
API BREAKS:
1185
1186
TESTING:
1187
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)
1191
1192
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1193
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1194
(Robert Collins)
1195
1196
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1197
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1198
1199
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
1200
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1201
1202
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1203
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1204
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)
1208
1209
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1210
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1211
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)
1214
1215
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
1216
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
1217
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1218
1219
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
1220
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
1221
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)

1250
by mail to the mailing list.
1251
(Martin Pool)
1252
1253
BUGFIXES:
1254
1255
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
1256
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)
1262
1263
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
1264
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)

1272
1273
INTERNALS:
1274
1275
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the

1287
1288
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.

1291
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
1292
Nordhoff, #172612)
1293
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)
1298
1299
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
1300
(Kent Gibson)
1301
1302
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1303
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1304
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)
1308
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)

1332
filename to user.
1333
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1334
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
1337
required.
1338
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)

* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1341
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
1342

1353
---------------------

1355
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1356
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)
1361
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.
1364
1365
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1366
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1367
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)
1381
1382
CHANGES:
1383
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)
1387
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

1392
1393
FEATURES:
1394

1396
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
1397
supported transports.
1398
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1399
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)
1403
1404
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1405
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1406
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)
1411
1412
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
1413
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)

1416
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)
1421
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)
1426
1427
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
1428
(Robert Collins, #88319)
1429
1430
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
1431
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
1432
1433
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1434
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1435
1436
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1437
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1438
(Aaron Bentley)
1439
1440
IMPROVEMENTS:
1441
1442
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1443
(Aaron Bentley)
1444
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.
1447
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1448
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)
1453
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)

1461
BUG FIXES:
1462
1463
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
1464
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
1465
1466
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
1467
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
1468
1469
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
1470
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
1471
1472
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
1473
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
1474
1475
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
1476
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
1477
1478
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
1479
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
1480
1481
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
1482
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
1483
1484
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
1485
(Aaron Bentley)
1486
1487
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
1488
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
1489
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)
1493
1494
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
1495
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
1496
1497
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
1498
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
1499
1500
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
1501
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
1502
1503
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
1504
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
1505
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
1510
on them.
1511
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1512
1513
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
1514
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1515
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
1516
1517
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
1518
(Robert Collins, #161240)
1519
1520
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
1521
to be reconciled.
1522
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1523
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)
1526
1527
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1528
specify a port in urls.
1529
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1530
1531
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
1532
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
1533
1534
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
1535
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
1536
1537
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
1538
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
1539
1540
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
1541
(Robert Collins, #153789)
1542
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).
1546
1547
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
1548
1549
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
1550
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
1551
1552
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
1553
Watkins, #152811)
1554
1555
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
1556
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
1557
1558
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
1559
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
1560
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)
1564
1565
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
1566
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
1567
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)
1572
1573
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
1574
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
1575
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)
1579
1580
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
1581
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
1582
1583
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
1584
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
1585
1586
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
1587
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
1588
1589
API BREAKS:
1590
1591
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
1592
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
1593
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)
1599
1600
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
1601
(Robert Collins)
1602
1603
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
1604
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
1605
format.
1606
(Martin Pool)
1607
1608
INTERNALS:
1609
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
1613
Bennetts)
1614
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)
1617
1618
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1635
1636
CHANGES:
1637
1638
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
1639
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
1640
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).
1653
(Robert Collins)
1654
1655
FEATURES:
1656
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)
1663
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.
1667
(Robert Collins)
1668
1669
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
1670
1671
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
1672
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
1673
1674
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
1675
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
1676
(Aaron Bentley)
1677
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)
1681
1682
PERFORMANCE:
1683
1684
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
1685
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1686
1687
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
1688
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
1689
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)
1694
1695
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
1696
(Robert Collins)
1697
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)
1702
1703
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
1704
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
1705
1706
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
1707
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1708
1709
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
1710
the contents. (Robert Collins)
1711
1712
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
1713
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
1714
1715
IMPROVEMENTS:
1716
1717
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
1718
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
1719
1720
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
1721
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
1722
1723
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
1724
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
1725
1726
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
1727
(Martin Pool, #63894)
1728
1729
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
1730
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
1731
1732
DOCUMENTATION:
1733
1734
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
1735
1736
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
1737
(Ian Clatworthy)
1738
1739
BUG FIXES:
1740
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)
1744
1745
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
1746
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
1747
1748
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
1749
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
1750
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)
1755
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)
1761
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
1764
paramiko.
1765
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
1766
1767
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1768
1769
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
1770
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
1771
1772
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
1773
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
1774
1775
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
1776
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
1777
1778
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
1779
contains a symbolic link.
1780
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
1781
1782
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
1783
(James Westby, #140615)
1784
1785
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
1786
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
1787
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
1788
1789
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
1790
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
1791
(Martin Pool, #144633)
1792
1793
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1794
1795
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
1796
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
1797
1798
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
1799
will remain opened.
1800
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
1801
1802
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
1803
directory to detect leaking tests.
1804
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
1805
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)
1809
1810
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
1811
(Rob Weir, #141629)
1812
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)
1815
1816
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
1817
Merwe)
1818
1819
API BREAKS:
1820
1821
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
1822
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
1823
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)
1827
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)
1831
1832
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
1833
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
1834
1835
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
1836
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
1837
1838
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
1839
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
1840
(Martin Pool)
1841
1842
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
1843
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
1844
1845
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
1846
class that needs it.
1847
(Martin Pool)
1848
1849
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
1850
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
1851
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)
1855
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.
1859
(Robert Collins)
1860
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.
1865
(Robert Collins)
1866
1867
INTERNALS:
1868
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)
1872
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)
1877
1878
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1879
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1880
(Robert Collins)
1881
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)
1885
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)
1889
1890
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1891
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1892
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)
1896
1897
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1898
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1899
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)
1903
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)
1907
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)
1912
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)
1917
1918
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1919
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1920
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.
1925
(Robert Collins)
1926
1927
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1928
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1929
1930
TESTING:
1931
1932
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1933
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1934
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.
1939
(Martin Pool)
1940
1941
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1942
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

1948
BUG FIXES:
1949
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)
1953
1954
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1955
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)
1960
1961
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1962
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
1963
(Andrew Bennetts)

1965
1966
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1967
----------------------
1968
1969
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
1970
in bzrlib/remote.py.

----------------------
1975
1976
CHANGES:
1977
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.
1982
(Martin Pool)
1983
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``.
1987
(Ian Clatworthy)
1988
1989
FEATURES:
1990
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.
1994
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1995
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:
1999
2000
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2001
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2002
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2003
2004
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2005
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2006
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)
2017
2018
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2019
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2020
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)
2024
2025
BUG FIXES:
2026
2027
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2028
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2029
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)
2033
2034
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2035
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2036
2037
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2038
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2039
2040
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2041
(Aaron Bentley)
2042
2043
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2044
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2045
2046
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2047
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2048
2049
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2050
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2051
2052
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2053
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2054
2055
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2056
2057
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2058
Watkins, #106726)
2059
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)
2064
2065
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2066
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,
2069
#133548)
2070
2071
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2072
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2073
2074
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2075
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2076
#116143)
2077
2078
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2079
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2080
2081
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2082
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2083
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)
2091
2092
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2093
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2094
2095
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2096
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2097
2098
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2099
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2100
2101
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2102
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2103
2104
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2105
connections.
2106
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2107
2108
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2109
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
2110
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)
2114
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)
2118
2119
IMPROVEMENTS:
2120
2121
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2122
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2123
2124
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2125
(Aaron Bentley)
2126
2127
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2128
(Aaron Bentley)
2129
2130
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2131
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2132
2133
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2134
2135
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2136
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2137
2138
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2139
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2140
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)
2145
2146
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2147
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2148
(Ian Clatworthy)
2149
2150
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2151
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2152
2153
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2154
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2155
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)
2160
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``.
2164
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2165
2166
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
2167
(Ian Clatworthy)
2168
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)
2172
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)
2178
2179
API BREAKS:
2180
2181
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
2182
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2183
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)
2189
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.
2193
(Robert Collins)
2194
2195
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2196
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2197
2198
TESTING:
2199
2200
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
2201
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
2202
2203
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
2204
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2205
2206
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2207
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2208
2209
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
2210
(Aaron Bentley)
2211
2212
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
2213
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2214
2215
INTERNALS:
2216
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)
2221
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)
2224
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)
2229
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)
2233
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)
2238
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.
2241
(Robert Collins)
2242
2243
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
2244
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
2245
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)
2252
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)
2256
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
2261
protocol.
2262
2263
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
2264
(Aaron Bentley)
2265
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)
2273
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)
2278
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)
2285
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)
2289
2290
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
2291
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

-------------------
2296
2297
IMPROVEMENTS:
2298
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.

2309
API CHANGES:
2310
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)

2317
----------------------
2318
2319
BUGFIXES:
2320
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)
2326
2327
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2328
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2329
2330
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2331

* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2335
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2336
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2337
2338
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2339
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2340
#111664)
2341
2342
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2343
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2344
2345
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2346
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2347
2348
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2349
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2350
2351
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2352
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2353
2354
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2355
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2356
2357
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2358
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2359
2360
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2361
(Aaron Bentley)
2362
2363
IMPROVEMENTS:
2364
2365
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2366
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2367
2368
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2369
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2370
2371
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2372
the repository (Robert Collins)
2373
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)
2379
2380
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2381
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2382
2383
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2384
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2385
(John Arbash Meinel)
2386
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
2390
about 10%).
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)
2395
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.
2398
(Robert Collins)
2399
2400
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2401
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2402
2403
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2404
(Ian Clatworthy)
2405
2406
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2407
2408
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2409
2410
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2411
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2412
2413
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2414
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2415
Meinel)
2416
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)
2421
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)
2425
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)
2429
2430
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2431
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2432
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.
2439
(Ian Clatworthy)
2440
2441
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2442
(Alexander Belchenko)
2443
2444
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2445
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2446
2447
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2448
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2449
2450
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2451
2452
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2453
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2454
2455
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2456
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)
2461
2462
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2463
2464
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2465
(Robert Collins)
2466
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)
2473
2474
INTERNALS:
2475
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)
2480
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.
2486
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2487
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
2491
list, it will.
2492
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2493
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)
2497
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)
2505
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)
2511
2512
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2513
functionality for testing.
2514
2515
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2516
2517
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2518
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2519
2520
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2521
2522
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2523
(Robert Collins)
2524
2525
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2526
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2527
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)
2531
2532
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2533
(Aaron Bentley)
2534
2535
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2536
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2537
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)
2542
2543
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2544
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2545
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)
2549
2550
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2551
(Marius Kruger)
2552
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)
2559
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)
2564
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)
2569
2570
TESTING:
2571
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)
2575
2576
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
2577
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
2578
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)

2595
BUGFIXES:
2596
2597
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
2598
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
2599
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)
2603
2604
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
2605
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
2606
2607
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
2608
authentication header.
2609
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
2610
2611
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
2612
2613
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
2614
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
2615
2616
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
2617
2618
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
2619
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
2620
2621
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
2622
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
2623
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
2624
2625
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
2626
individually and as part of revision ranges.
2627
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
2628
2629
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
2630
(Martin Pool, #109169)
2631
2632
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
2633
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
2634
2635
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
2636
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
2637
2638
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2639
2640
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
2641
2642
IMPROVEMENTS:
2643
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)
2650
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)
2654
2655
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
2656
(Elliot Murphy)
2657
2658
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
2659
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
2660
2661
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
2662
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
2663
2664
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
2665
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
2666
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
2672
2673
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
2674
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
2675
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)
2679
2680
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
2681
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
2682
2683
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
2684
2685
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
2686
output. (Aaron Bentley)
2687
2688
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
2689
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
2690
(Robert Collins)
2691
2692
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
2693
(Martin Pool)
2694
2695
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
2696
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
2697
2698
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
2699
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
2700
2701
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
2702
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
2703
2704
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
2705
2706
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
2707
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
2708
2709
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
2710
(Andrew Bennetts)
2711
2712
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2713
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.
2732
(Robert Collins)
2733
2734
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
2735
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)
2739
2740
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
2741
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
2742
2743
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
2744
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2745
2746
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
2747
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)
2754
2755
INTERNALS:
2756
2757
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
2758
2759
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
2760
2761
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
2762
2763
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
2764
(Martin Pool)
2765
2766
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
2767
(Martin Pool)
2768
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)
2772
2773
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
2774
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)
2778
2779
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
2780
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
2781
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)
2785
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)
2789
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)
2793
2794
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
2795
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
2796
Martin Pool)
2797
2798
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
2799
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
2800
2801
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
2802
(Alexander Belchenko)
2803
2804
TESTING:
2805
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)
2810
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)
2814
2815
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
2816
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
2817
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)
2825
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)
2830
2831
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
2832
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
2833
2834
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
2835
avoid useless cloning.

2854
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2855
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::
2863
2864
work_tree.lock_read()
2865
try:
2866
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
2867
finally:
2868
work_tree.unlock()
2869
2870
INTERNALS:
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
2873
object.
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)
2877
2878
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2879
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2880
too. (Robert Collins)
2881
2882
IMPROVEMENTS:
2883
2884
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
2885
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
2886
Aaron Bentley)
2887
2888
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
2889
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
2890
2891
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
2892
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
2893
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)
2898
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)
2902
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)
2907
2908
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2909
#56322)
2910
2911
BUGFIXES:
2912
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)
2918
2919
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2920
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2921
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2922
2923
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
2924
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
2925
2926
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
2927
into account.
2928
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2929
2930
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2931
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2932
2933
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2934
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2935
2936
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2937
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2938
2939
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2940
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2941
2942
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2943
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2944
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
--------------------
2951
2952
BUGFIXES:
2953
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)
2959
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)
2963
2964
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2965
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2966
2967
IMPROVEMENTS:
2968
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)
2972
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)

-----------------------
2980
2981
BUGFIXES:
2982
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)
2987
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)
2991
2992
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2993
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
2994

* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
2996
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
2997
2998
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned

3002
-----------------------
3003
3004
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3005
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,
3011
but not delete it.
3012
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
3013
files.
3014
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
3015
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
3016
3017
IMPROVEMENTS:
3018
3019
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
3020
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
3021
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)
3026
3027
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
3028
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
3029
3030
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
3031
tests with names that match that regular expression.
3032
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
3033
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)
3037
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)
3041
3042
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
3043
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
3044
Robert Collins)
3045
3046
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
3047
Pool)
3048
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)
3053
3054
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
3055
(Robert Collins)
3056
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.
3060
(Robert Collins)
3061
3062
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
3063
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
3064
3065
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
3066
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
3067
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).
3072
(Robert Collins)
3073
3074
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
3075
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
3076
3077
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
3078
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3079
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).
3083
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)
3087
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)
3091
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)
3096
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)
3101
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
3110
header(s).
3111
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3112
3113
INTERNALS:
3114
3115
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
3116
code paths. (Robert Collins)
3117
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)
3123
3124
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
3125
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
3126
3127
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
3128
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
3129
3130
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
3131
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
3132
3133
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
3134
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
3135
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.
3139
(Robert Collins).
3140
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).
3146
(Robert Collins)
3147
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)
3151
3152
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
3153
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
3154
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3155
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.
3159
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3160
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)
3166
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)
3171
3172
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
3173
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3174
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)
3181
3182
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
3183
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
3184
3185
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
3186
help. (Robert Collins)
3187
3188
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
3189
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3190
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)
3196
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)
3202
3203
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
3204
(Andrew Bennetts)
3205
3206
BUGFIXES:
3207
3208
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
3209
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
3210
3211
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
3212
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
3213
3214
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
3215
properly and is no longer beneficial.
3216
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
3217
3218
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
3219
(Aaron Bentley)
3220
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)
3224
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)
3228
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)
3233
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)
3238
3239
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
3240
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
3241
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
3246
Arbash Meinel)
3247
3248
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
3249
3250
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
3251
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
3252
3253
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
3254
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
3255
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
3260
security hole.
3261
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3262
3263
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3264
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3265
3266
TESTING:
3267
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)
3271
3272
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3273
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3274
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)
3283
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)
3287
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
3293
access.
3294
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3295
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)
3299
3300
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3301
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
3320
3321
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
3322
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
3323
(Martin Pool)
3324
3325
IMPROVEMENTS:
3326
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
3335
path. (vila)
3336
3337
INTERNALS:
3338
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)
3342
3343
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3344
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3345
(Martin Pool)
3346
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)
3350
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)
3356
3357
BUGFIXES:
3358
3359
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3360
(vila, #92195)
3361
3362
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3363
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3364
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)
3367
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)
3371
3372
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3373
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3374
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)
3380
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)
3384
3385
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

3389
-----------------------
3390
3391
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3392
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.
3396
3397
IMPROVEMENTS:
3398
3399
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3400
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3401
3402
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3403
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3404
3405
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3406
3407
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3408
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3409
3410
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3411
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3412
3413
INTERNALS:
3414
3415
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3416
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
3417
3418
BUGFIXES:
3419
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)
3424
3425
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3426
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3427
3428
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3429
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3430
3431
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3432
(Marien Zwart)
3433
3434
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

3438
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
3439
-----------------------
3440
3441
SURPRISES:
3442
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.
3449
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
3456
development.
3457
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3458
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).
3467
3468
IMPROVEMENTS:
3469
3470
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3471
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3472
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
3477
does exist.
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)
3483
3484
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
3485
(Aaron Bentley)
3486
3487
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3488
(Aaron Bentley)
3489
3490
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3491
(Robert Collins)
3492
3493
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3494
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3495
(Aaron Bentley)
3496
3497
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3498
(Aaron Bentley)
3499
3500
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3501
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3502
3503
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3504
directory. (Martin Pool)
3505
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".
3510
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.
3515
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
3518
bind location.
3519
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)
3526
3527
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3528
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3529
3530
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3531
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3532
3533
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
3534
(Aaron Bentley)
3535
3536
INTERNALS:
3537
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)
3544
3545
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
3546
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
3547
(Aaron Bentley)
3548
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)
3552
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)
3559
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).
3563
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
3568
repository.
3569
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3570
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)
3575
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)
3580
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)
3584
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.
3588
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)
3593
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)
3597
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)
3601
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.

http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
3612
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
3613
3614
BUGFIXES:
3615
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)
3619
3620
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
3621
(Aaron Bentley)
3622
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)
3627
3628
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
3629
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
3630
#83954).
3631
3632
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
3633
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
3634
3635
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
3636

* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
3638
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
3639
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
3640
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)
3646
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)

3656
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
3657

available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
3675
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
3676
3677
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's

server, then you can write over the http connection.
3690
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3691
3692
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
3693
(Marius Kruger)
3694
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)
3698
3699
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
3700
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
3701
3702
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
3703
(Aaron Bentley)
3704
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)
3711
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::
3715
3716
[/home/user/project]
3717
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
3718
push_location:policy = appendpath
3719
3720
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
3721
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
3722
(James Henstridge)
3723
3724
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
3725
for each file. For example::
3726
3727
$ bzr status --short
3728
A foo
3729
A bar
3730
D baz
3731
? wooley
3732
3733
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
3734
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
3735
3736
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
3737
3738
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
3739
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
3740
3741
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
3742
3743
INTERNALS:
3744
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)
3749
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)
3753
3754
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3755
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)
3760
3761
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
3762
Pool)
3763
3764
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
3765
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
3766
3767
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
3768
3769
BUG FIXES:
3770
3771
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
3772
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
3773
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)
3779
3780
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
3781
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
3782
3783
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
3784
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
3785
3786
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
3787
matcher.
3788
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
3789
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)
3795
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)
3800
3801
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
3802
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
3803
3804
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
3805
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
3806
3807
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
3808
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
3809
3810
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

3822
IMPROVEMENTS:
3823
3824
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
3825
tree from a branch.
3826
(Daniel Silverstone)
3827
3828
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
3829
operations are substantially faster.
3830
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
3831
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)
3836
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)
3841
3842
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
3843
(Andrew Bennetts)
3844
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)
3851
3852
INTERNALS:
3853
3854
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
3855
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
3856
(Martin Pool)
3857
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)
3861
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)
3866
3867
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
3868
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3869
3870
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3871
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3872
3873
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3874
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3875
Bennetts)
3876
3877
BUG FIXES:
3878
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)
3882
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)
3887
3888
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3889
3890
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3891
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3892
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).
3897
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)
3901
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)
3906
3907
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3908
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3909
3910
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3911
3912
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3913
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3914
3915
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3916
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3917
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)
3922
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)
3926
3927
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3928
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3929
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)
3935
3936
TESTING:
3937
3938
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3939
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

3942
--------------------
3943
3944
INTERNALS:
3945
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)
3949
3950
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
3951
-----------------------
3952
3953
IMPROVEMENTS:
3954
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)
3959
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)
3962
3963
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3964
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)
3969
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)
3975
3976
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3977
3978
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3979
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3980
3981
INTERNALS:
3982
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)
3986
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)
3990
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)
3994
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.
3997
(Aaron Bentley)
3998
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)
4002
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)
4009
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.
4013
(Robert Collins)
4014
4015
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4016
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4017
4018
BUG FIXES:
4019
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,
4023
#63360, #66349)
4024
4025
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4026
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
4027
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)
4031
4032
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4033
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4034
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)
4039
4040
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4041
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4042
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)
4046
4047
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4048
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4049
4050
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4051
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,
4054
#32054)
4055
4056
TESTING:
4057
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)
4062
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)
4066
4067
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
4083
-----------------------
4084
4085
IMPROVEMENTS:
4086
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)
4094
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)
4098
4099
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
4100
4101
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
4102
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
4103
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.
4107
(Robert Collins)
4108
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)
4113
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
4118
Pool)
4119
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)
4124
4125
BUG FIXES:
4126
4127
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
4128
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
4129
4130
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
4131
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)
4135
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)
4141
4142
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
4143
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
4144
4145
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
4146
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
4147
4148
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
4149
4150
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
4151
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
4152
4153
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
4154
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
4155
4156
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
4157
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
4158
4159
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
4160
(John Arbash Meinel)
4161
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)
4165
4166
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
4167
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4168
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)
4173
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)
4177
4178
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
4179
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
4180
4181
PORTABILITY:
4182
4183
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
4184
4185
INTERNALS:
4186
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)
4190
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)
4195
4196
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
4197
(Andrew Bennetts)
4198
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)
4202
4203
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
4204
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
4205
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)
4209
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)
4220
4221
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
4222
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
4223
4224
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
4225
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
4226
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)
4234
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.
4243
(Robert Collins)
4244
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)
4248
4249
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
4250
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
4251
4252
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
4253
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
4254
4255
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
4256
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4257
4258
TESTING:
4259
4260
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
4261
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
4262
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)
4266
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)
4270
4271
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
4272
--------------------
4273
4274
IMPROVEMENTS:
4275
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
4276
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4277
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)
4283
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)
4287
4288
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
4289
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
4290
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)
4294
4295
BUG FIXES:
4296
4297
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
4298
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)
4302
4303
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
4304
4305
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
4306
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)
4311
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)
4317
4318
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
4319
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
4320
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)
4323
4324
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
4325
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
4326
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)
4330
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)
4333
4334
INTERNALS:
4335
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)
4341
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)
4345
4346
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4347
---------------------
4348
4349
SURPRISES:
4350
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)
4361
4362
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4363
to more locations than just branch locations.
4364
(Aaron Bentley)
4365
4366
IMPROVEMENTS:
4367
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)
4372
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,
4381
#42517, #42514)
4382
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)
4386
(Malone #3507)
4387
4388
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
4389
(Alexander Belchenko)
4390
4391
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
4392
4393
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
4394
(Robert Collins).
4395
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)
4402
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).
4408
4409
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
4410
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
4411
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).
4417
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).
4421
4422
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
4423
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
4424
Matthieu Moy)
4425
4426
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
4427
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
4428
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)
4434
4435
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
4436
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
4437
4438
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
4439
(Michael Ellerman)
4440
4441
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
4442
(Aaron Bentley)
4443
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)
4447
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)
4451
4452
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
4453
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
4454
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)
4460
4461
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
4462
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
4463
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)
4472
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)
4476
4477
BUG FIXES:
4478
4479
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4480
tests not to run.
4481
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4482
4483
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4484
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4485
4486
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4487
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4488
4489
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4490
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4491
4492
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4493
4494
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4495
(John Arbash Meinel)
4496
4497
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4498
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4499
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
4502
and y.
4503
4504
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4505
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4506
4507
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4508
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4509
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)
4514
4515
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4516
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4517
4518
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4519
4520
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4521
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4522
4523
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4524
4525
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4526
4527
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4528
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4529
4530
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4531
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4532
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)
4536
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)
4540
4541
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4542
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4543
4544
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4545
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4546
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)
4549
4550
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4551
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4552
4553
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4554
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
4555
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)
4559
4560
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
4561
4562
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
4563
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
4564
4565
INTERNALS:
4566
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).
4570
4571
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
4572
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
4573
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)
4577
4578
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
4579
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4580
4581
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
4582
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
4583
(Martin Pool)
4584
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)
4588
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)
4592
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).
4596
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)
4600
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)
4604
4605
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
4606
instead. (Robert Collins)
4607
4608
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

4646
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
4647
4648
NEW FEATURES:

4665
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
4666
-------------------
4667
4668
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4669
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.
4676
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'.
4682
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.
4690
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.
4696
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
4700
arrangement.
4701
4702
4703
IMPROVEMENTS:
4704
4705
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
4706
convention. Paths now take the form::
4707
4708
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
4709
or
4710
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
4711
4712
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
4713
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
4714
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)
4718
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).
4723
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)
4727
4728
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
4729
4730
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
4731
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
4734
commits::
4735
4736
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
4737
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
4738
| xargs bzr re-sign
4739
4740
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
4741
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.
4745
(Robert Collins)
4746
4747
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
4748
4749
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
4750
4751
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
4752
'.moved'.
4753
4754
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
4755
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
4756
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,
4759
Daniel Silverstone)
4760
4761
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
4762
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
4763
Martin Pool)
4764
4765
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
4766
4767
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
4768
4769
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
4770
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
4771
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)
4778
4779
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
4780
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'.
4783
(Robert Collins)
4784
4785
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
4786
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
4787
4788
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
4789
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
4790
4791
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
4792
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).
4799
4800
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
4801
Belchenko)
4802
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).
4805
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)
4809
4810
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
4811
4812
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
4813
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
4814
(Robert Collins)
4815
4816
CHANGES:
4817
4818
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
4819
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4820
4821
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
4822
4823
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
4824
4825
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
4826
(Olaf Conradi)
4827
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)
4832
4833
INTERNALS:
4834
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)
4839
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)
4843
4844
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
4845
(Martin Pool)
4846
4847
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
4848
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)
4852
4853
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
4854
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
4855
4856
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
4857
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
4858
paths. (Robert Collins)
4859
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)
4863
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)
4867
4868
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4869
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4870
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4871
4872
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4873
(Olaf Conradi)
4874
4875
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4876
(Olaf Conradi)
4877
4878
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4879
4880
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4881
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.
4885
(Robert Collins)
4886
4887
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4888
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4889
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)
4893
4894
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4895
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4896
4897
TESTING:
4898
4899
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4900
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4901
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)
4906
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)
4912
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)
4916
4917
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4918
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.
4921
4922
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
4923
------------------
4924
4925
CHANGES:
4926
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)
4929
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".
4933
(Johan Rydberg)
4934
4935
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4936
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4937
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)
4943
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)
4947
4948
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4949
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4950
(James Henstridge)
4951
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.
4955
4956
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4957
ignore list.
4958
4959
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4960
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4961
4962
IMPROVEMENTS:
4963
4964
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4965
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4966
4967
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4968
4969
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4970
4971
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4972
tree. (Robert Collins)
4973
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.
4977
(Robert Collins)
4978
4979
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4980
that they be kept.
4981
4982
* Tweaks to short log printing
4983
4984
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4985
(Aaron Bentley)
4986
4987
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4988
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4989
4990
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4991
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4992
4993
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4994
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4995
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)
4999
5000
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5001
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5002
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
5005
requests.
5006
5007
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5008
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5009
5010
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5011
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5012
5013
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5014
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5015
5016
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5017
(Denys Duchier)
5018
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)
5021
5022
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5023
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5024
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

5041
5042
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5043
5044
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5045
ignored by diff and status
5046
5047
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5048
able to be used. (John A Meinel)

5051
5052
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5053
5054

5055
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5056
5057
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5058
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5059
5060
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5061
(Harald Meland)
5062
5063
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5064
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5065
5066
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5067
5068
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5069
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5070
5071
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5072
(Martin Pool)
5073
5074

5075
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5076
5077
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5078
5079
TESTING:
5080
5081
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5082
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5083
5084
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5085
5086
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5087
5088
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5089
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)
5093
5094
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5095
5096
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5097
(John Arbash Meinel)
5098
5099
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5100
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)
5104
5105
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5106
imported. (Martin Pool)
5107
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.
5113
(Robert Collins)
5114
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).
5118
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)
5122
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.
5128
(Robert Collins).
5129
5130
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5131
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5132
(Robert Collins).
5133
5134
INTERNALS:
5135
5136
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5137
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5138
5139
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5140
function. (Robert Collins)
5141
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)
5145
5146
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5147
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5148
(Robert Collins)
5149
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)
5157
5158
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5159
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5160
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)
5167
5168
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5169
(Robert Collins)
5170
5171
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5172
5173
add()
5174
commit()
5175
move()
5176
rename_one()
5177
unknowns()
5178
5179
(Robert Collins)
5180
5181
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5182
5183
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5184
5185
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5186
Pool)
5187
5188
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5189
query method. (Robert Collins)
5190
5191
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5192
(Denys Duchier)
5193
5194
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5195
(Michael Ellerman)
5196
5197
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5198
(Michael Ellerman)
5199
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).
5204
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)
5209
5210
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5211
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
5212
5213
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
5214
------------------
5215
5216
IMPROVEMENTS:
5217
5218
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
5219
(John A Meinel)
5220
5221
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
5222
conflicts.
5223
(Aaron Bentley)
5224
5225
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
5226
a separator, not ':'.
5227
(Aaron Bentley)
5228
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)
5232
5233
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
5234
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
5235
(Robert Collins)
5236
5237
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
5238
has been added that suppresses all output.
5239
5240
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
5241
Adams.
5242
5243
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
5244
Goffredo Baroncelli.
5245
5246
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
5247
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
5248
5249
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
5250
a revision. (Robert Collins)
5251
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)
5256
5257
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
5258
5259
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
5260
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
5261
5262
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
5263
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
5264
5265
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
5266
output directory, if one was supplied.
5267
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)
5272
5273
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
5274
5275
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
5276
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
5277
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).
5281
5282
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
5283
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
5284
5285
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
5286
(Aaron Bentley)
5287
5288
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
5289
5290
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
5291
5292
TESTING:
5293
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)
5297
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)
5301
5302
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
5303
is given. (Martin Pool)
5304
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)
5308
5309
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
5310
(Martin Pool)
5311
5312
INTERNALS:
5313
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).
5317
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).
5321
5322
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5323
(Robert Collins)
5324
5325
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
5326
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
5327
Magnus Therning.
5328
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)
5334
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)
5340
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)
5345
5346
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5347
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5348
5349
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5350
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5351
(Robert Collins)
5352
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)
5356
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)
5360
5361
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5362
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5363
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.
5367
(Robert Collins)
5368
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.
5373
(Robert Collins)
5374
5375
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5376
(Robert Collins)
5377
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.
5380
(Robert Collins)
5381
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)
5385
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)
5389
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)
5393
5394
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5395
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5396
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)
5402
5403
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
5404
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
5405
(Robert Collins).
5406
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
5409
(Aaron Bentley)
5410
5411
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
5412
5413
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
5414
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
5415
5416
BUG FIXES:
5417
5418
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
5419
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
5420
5421
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
5422
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
5423
5424
5425
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
5426
--------------------
5427
5428
BUG FIXES:
5429
5430
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
5431
allow directories to be listed.
5432
5433
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
5434
upgrading branch format.
5435
5436
PERFORMANCE:
5437
5438
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
5439
5440
5441
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
5442
------------------
5443
5444
NOTES:
5445
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.
5450
5451
BUG FIXES:
5452
5453
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
5454
Rob Weir.
5455
5456
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
5457
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
5458
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.
5463
5464
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5465
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5466
5467
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5468
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5469
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.
5473
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
5477
Robert Collins
5478
5479
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5480
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5481
5482
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5483
different partial views of history.
5484
5485
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5486
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5487
5488
IMPROVEMENTS:
5489
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.
5493
5494
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5495
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5496
'bzr upgrade'.
5497
5498
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5499
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5500
5501
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5502
Niemeyer.
5503
5504
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5505
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5506
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.
5511
5512
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5513
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
5516
Gustavo Niemeyer.
5517
5518
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5519
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5520
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.
5524
5525
5526
INTERNALS:
5527
5528
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5529
for your viewing pleasure.
5530
5531
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5532
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5533
5534
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5535
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5536
handling of such circumstances.
5537
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.)
5541
5542
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5543
5544
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5545
we call them revisions not patches.
5546
5547
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5548
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5549
5550
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
5551
giving the revision *of that file*.
5552
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.
5556
5557
TESTING:
5558
5559
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
5560
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
5561
5562
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
5563
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
5564

5566
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
5567
--------------------
5568
5569
BUG FIXES:
5570
5571
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
5572
5573
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
5574
(Robert Collins).
5575
5576
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
5577
5578
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
5579
5580
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
5581
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5582
5583
IMPROVEMENTS:
5584
5585
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
5586
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
5587
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
5592
Robey Pointer
5593
5594
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
5595
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5596
5597
INTERNALS:
5598
5599
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
5600
5601
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
5602
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
5603
5604
5605
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
5606
--------------------
5607
5608
IMPROVEMENTS:
5609
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
5614
Michael Ellerman.
5615
5616
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
5617
(Nir Soffer)
5618
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.
5624
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.
5628
5629
5630
INTERNALS:
5631
5632
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
5633
5634
BUG FIXES:
5635
5636
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
5637
5638
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
5639
branch.
5640
5641
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
5642
read.
5643
5644
5645
PORTABILITY:
5646
5647
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
5648
5649
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
5650
5651
5652
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
5653
--------------------
5654
5655
NEW FEATURES:
5656
5657
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
5658
help with intelligent shell completion.
5659
5660
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
5661
5662
5663
ENHANCEMENTS:
5664
5665
* Much better merge support.
5666
5667
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
5668
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
5669
like emacs smerge.
5670
5671
5672
BUG FIXES:
5673
5674
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
5675
mention revisions that are not present.
5676
5677
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
5678
5679
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
5680
5681
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
5682
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
5683
5684
5685
CHANGES:
5686
5687
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
5688
5689
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
5690
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
5691
--help themselves.
5692
5693
5694
LIBRARY:
5695
5696
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
5697
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
5698
libraries.
5699
5700
5701
5702
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
5703
--------------------
5704
5705
NEW FEATURES:
5706
5707
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
5708
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
5709
5710
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
5711
5712
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
5713
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
5714
5715
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
5716
FOO.
5717
5718
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
5719
5720
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
5721
the Unix command.
5722
5723
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
5724
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
5725
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.)
5729
5730
5731
ENHANCEMENTS:
5732
5733
* Faster working tree operations.
5734
5735
5736
CHANGES:
5737
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.)
5742
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.
5748
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.
5753
5754
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
5755
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
5756
5757
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
5758
disk.
5759
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.
5763
5764
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
5765
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
5766
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
5771
it.
5772
5773
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
5774
5775
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
5776
is available with ``--short``.
5777
5778
5779
BUG FIXES:
5780
5781
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
5782
5783
5784
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
5785
---------------------
5786
5787
CHANGES:
5788
5789
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
5790
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5791
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.
5796
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.
5800
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
5803
field.
5804
5805
5806
ENHANCEMENTS:
5807
5808
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
5809
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
5810
5811
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
5812
5813
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
5814
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
5815
5816
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
5817
5818
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
5819
either read or write mode.
5820
5821
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
5822
5823
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
5824
affected that file.
5825
5826
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
5827
5828
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
5829
suggested by LarstiQ.
5830
5831
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
5832
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
5833
5834
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
5835
a filename.
5836
5837
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
5838
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
5839
5840
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
5841
haven't changed since the previous time.
5842
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.
5845
5846
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
5847
5848
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
5849
5850
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
5851
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
5852
5853
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
5854
options through to an external GNU diff.
5855
5856
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
5857
their contents.
5858
5859
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
5860
from a branch.
5861
5862
5863
BUG FIXES:
5864
5865
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
5866
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
5867
5868
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
5869
metacharacters.
5870
5871
5872
TESTING:
5873
5874
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
5875
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
5876
the tests.
5877
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.
5880
5881
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
5882
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
5883
5884
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
5885
under a different version.
5886
5887
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
5888
5889
5890
INTERNAL:
5891
5892
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
5893
5894
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
5895
Scott James Remnant.
5896
5897
* Better help messages for many commands.
5898
5899
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
5900
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
5901
5902
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
5903
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
5904
5905
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
5906
5907
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
5908
5909
* New AtomicFile class.
5910
5911
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
5912
5913
5914
PORTABILITY:
5915
5916
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
5917
2.4 is now only recommended.

5919
5920
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
5921
---------------------
5922
5923
ENHANCEMENTS:
5924
5925
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
5926
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
5927
5928
* More default ignore patterns.
5929
5930
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
5931
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
5932
5933
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
5934
5935
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
5936
by Jason Diamon.
5937
5938
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
5939
5940
5941
CHANGES:
5942
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.
5948
5949
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
5950
5951
5952
BUG FIXES:
5953
5954
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
5955
5956
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
5957
5958
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
5959
trailing newlines properly.
5960
5961
5962
INTERNAL:
5963
5964
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
5965
Matt Brubeck.
5966
5967
* More tests in test.sh.
5968
5969
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
5970
directory and delete it when done.
5971
5972
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
5973
5974
5975
PORTABILITY:
5976
5977
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
5978
Bennetts.
5979
5980
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
5981
from QuantumG.

bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
5985
---------------------
5986
5987
ENHANCEMENTS:
5988
5989
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
5990
in the tree.
5991
5992
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
5993
5994
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
5995
and/or directory.
5996
5997
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
5998
directory.
5999
6000
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
6001
6002
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
6003
6004
CHANGES:
6005
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
6008
will do for now.)
6009
6010
PORTABILITY:
6011
6012
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
6013
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
6014
Nielsen.
6015
6016
INTERNAL:
6017
6018
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
6019
6020
TESTING:
6021
6022
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.

bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
6034
-----------------------------------
6035
6036
ENHANCEMENTS:
6037
6038
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
6039
6040
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
6041
rather than replacing it.
6042
6043
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
6044
6045
* More help topics.
6046
6047
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
6048
branch.
6049
6050
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
6051
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
6052
6053
* Performance improvements.
6054
6055
* New global --profile option.
6056
6057
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
6058
the root directory only.
6059
6060
6061
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
6062
---------------------
6063
6064
ENHANCEMENTS:
6065
6066
* More information from info command.
6067
6068
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
6069
6070
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
6071
committing to stores.
6072
6073
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
6074
6075
BUG FIXES:
