This release adds a translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish.
12
(Contributions of other translations would be very welcome.)
20
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
23
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
24
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
25
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
26
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
27
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
28
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
29
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
30
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
34
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
35
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
36
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
40
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
41
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
42
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
43
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
45
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
46
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
47
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
48
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
50
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
51
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
52
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
54
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
55
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
56
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
58
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
60
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
64
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
65
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
67
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
68
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
73
* New helper function for splitting test suites
74
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
80
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
81
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
82
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
83
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
84
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
85
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
87
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
88
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
91
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
92
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
93
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
95
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
96
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
97
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
98
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
105
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
106
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
107
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
111
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
112
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
113
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
117
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
118
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

---------------------
125
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
129
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
130
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
131
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
132
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
138
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
139
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley)
141
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
142
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
144
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
149
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
150
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
152
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
153
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
155
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
156
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
157
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
159
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
160
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
161
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
163
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
166
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
167
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
169
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
170
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
172
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
173
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
175
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
176
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
178
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
179
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
180
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
182
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
183
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
185
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
186
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
188
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
189
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
190
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
191
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
193
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
194
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
197
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
198
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
199
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
201
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
202
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
203
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
204
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
205
every revision each side had in common.
206
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
208
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
209
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
211
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
212
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
213
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
214
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
218
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
219
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
220
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
221
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
223
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
225
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
227
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
228
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
232
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
233
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
234
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
236
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
237
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
238
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
239
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
241
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
242
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
244
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
245
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
246
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
247
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
249
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
250
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
251
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
252
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
256
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
257
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
258
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
260
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
262
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
263
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
265
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
266
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
268
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
269
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
273
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
274
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
275
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
277
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
278
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
279
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
282
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` is deprecated, as a start towards
283
removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
286
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
293
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
294
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
295
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
296
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
297
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
298
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
299
and faster performance.
303
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
304
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
305
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
306
(John Arbash Meinel, Andrew Bennetts, #214894)
309
bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
310
---------------------
314
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
315
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
316
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
318
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
319
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
321
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
322
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
324
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
325
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
326
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
327
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
328
every revision each side had in common.
329
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
332
bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
333
---------------------
337
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
339
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
340
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
342
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
343
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
344
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
346
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
347
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
348
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
349
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
350
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
351
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
354
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
355
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
356
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
357
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
361
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
363
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
364
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
365
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
367
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
368
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
369
See the User Reference for signature details.
370
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
372
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
373
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
377
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
378
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
379
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
380
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
382
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
383
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
385
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
386
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
387
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
390
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
393
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
394
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
395
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
397
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
400
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
401
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
403
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
404
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
406
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
407
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
408
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
410
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
411
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
412
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
413
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
414
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
416
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
417
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
419
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
420
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
424
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
425
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
426
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
427
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
428
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
429
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
431
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
432
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
434
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
435
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
436
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
438
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
439
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
441
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
442
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
443
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
444
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
446
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
447
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
448
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
449
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
450
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
452
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
454
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
455
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
457
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
459
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
460
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
462
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
463
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
467
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
469
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
471
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
473
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
477
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
478
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
479
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
481
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
482
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
483
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
484
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
486
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
487
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
488
release. (James Westby)
490
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
493
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
495
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
496
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
498
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
499
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
501
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
502
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
504
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
505
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
506
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
508
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
509
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
510
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
511
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
513
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
514
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
515
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
516
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
518
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
519
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
520
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
521
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
522
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
523
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
525
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
526
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
527
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
529
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
530
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
532
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
533
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
536
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
537
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
539
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
540
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
542
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
543
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
545
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
546
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
547
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
549
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
550
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
551
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
552
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
553
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
554
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
558
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
559
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
560
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
561
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
563
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
564
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
565
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
566
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
570
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
571
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
574
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
575
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
577
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
579
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
580
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
581
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
585
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
587
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
590
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
591
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
592
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
593
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
594
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
595
(Martin Pool, #109520)
597
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
598
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
600
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
601
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
602
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
603
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
605
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
606
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
608
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
609
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)
615
No changes from 1.3.1rc1.
618
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-04-04
619
---------------------
623
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
624
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
625
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
626
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
632
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
634
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
635
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
636
features have been added.
640
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
642
(#202778, Martin Pool)
645
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-03-16
646
---------------------
648
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
650
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
651
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
655
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
656
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
657
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
658
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
661
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
662
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
663
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
664
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
665
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
666
(Alexander Belchenko)
668
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
669
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
670
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
671
(Alexander Belchenko)
673
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
675
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
676
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
680
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
681
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
683
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
684
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
689
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
691
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
693
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
694
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
695
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
697
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
698
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
700
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
703
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
704
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
705
(Alexander Belchenko)
707
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
708
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
709
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
710
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
712
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
715
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
716
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
717
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
718
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
719
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
723
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
724
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
725
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
726
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
728
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
729
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
731
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
732
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
734
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
735
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
736
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
738
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
739
(#198793, John Ferlito)
741
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
744
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
745
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
747
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
749
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
751
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
752
symlinks (James Henstridge)
754
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
755
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
757
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
758
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
760
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
761
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
763
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
764
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
766
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
767
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
771
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
772
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
776
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
777
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
778
(Alexander Belchenko)
782
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
783
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
788
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
789
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
790
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
792
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
793
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
794
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
795
(Alexander Belchenko)
797
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
798
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
799
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
800
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
802
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
803
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
804
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
807
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
808
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
809
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
811
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
812
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
813
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
815
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
816
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
817
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
818
format. (Robert Collins)
826
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
829
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
830
---------------------
832
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
834
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
835
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
836
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
837
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
838
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
843
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
844
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
846
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
847
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
848
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
850
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
851
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
852
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
853
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
854
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
855
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
860
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
861
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
863
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
864
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
865
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
868
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
869
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
870
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
871
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
872
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
874
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
875
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
876
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
877
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
878
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
879
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
880
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
881
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
885
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
886
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
888
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
889
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
891
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
892
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
894
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
895
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
896
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
898
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
899
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
904
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
905
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
907
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
908
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
910
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
911
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
913
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
914
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
915
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
917
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
918
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
919
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
921
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
922
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
924
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
925
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
926
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
927
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
928
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
930
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
932
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
933
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
936
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
937
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
939
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
940
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
942
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
943
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
945
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
946
more characters which should be considered valid.
947
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
949
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
950
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
952
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
953
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
957
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
958
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
960
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
961
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
966
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
967
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
972
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
973
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
974
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
976
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
977
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
978
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
980
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
981
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
982
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
983
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
985
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
987
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
988
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
989
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
990
server. (Robert Collins)
992
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
993
operate. (Robert Collins)
995
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
996
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
997
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
999
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1000
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1001
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1002
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1004
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1005
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1007
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1008
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1009
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1011
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1012
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1014
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1015
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1017
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1018
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1019
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1020
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
1026
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
1028
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
1029
---------------------
1033
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1034
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1035
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1036
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1038
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1039
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1040
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1041
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1045
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1048
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1051
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1052
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1056
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1059
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1060
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1061
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1063
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1065
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1066
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1067
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1068
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1069
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1071
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1072
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1073
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1075
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1076
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1078
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1081
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1083
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1085
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1088
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1089
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1093
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1094
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1096
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1097
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1099
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1102
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1103
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1105
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1106
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1108
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1109
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1111
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1112
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1114
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1115
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1116
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1118
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1119
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1121
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1122
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1125
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1127
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1128
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1129
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1131
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1132
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1134
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1137
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1140
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1141
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1143
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1146
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1147
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1150
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1151
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
1152
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
1156
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1159
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1160
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1161
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1162
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1163
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1164
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1166
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1170
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
1173
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
1174
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1176
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1178
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1179
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1180
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1183
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1184
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1186
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
1193
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
1194
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1195
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
1197
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1198
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1201
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1202
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1204
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
1205
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1207
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1208
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1210
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
1211
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
1212
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1214
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1215
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1217
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
1218
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1220
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
1221
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
1224
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
1225
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
1227
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
1228
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
1236
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1238
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
1241
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
1243
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
1244
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
1248
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
1249
---------------------
1253
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
1254
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
1255
by mail to the mailing list.
1260
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
1262
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
1263
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
1264
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
1265
feedback but also incur more latency.
1266
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
1268
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
1269
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
1273
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1275
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
1280
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
1281
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
1282
wraps its output in a StringIO.
1286
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
1287
---------------------
1291
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1293
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
1296
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
1299
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1300
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1301
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
1302
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1304
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
1307
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1308
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1310
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1311
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1312
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1314
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1315
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1316
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1317
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1318
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1319
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1320
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1321
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1322
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
1326
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
1329
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
1333
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
1334
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
1336
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
1338
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1340
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1341
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1343
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
1345
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1346
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
1348
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
1349
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
1353
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
1354
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
1357
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
1358
---------------------
1360
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1362
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1363
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1364
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1365
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1367
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1368
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1370
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1371
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1373
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1374
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1375
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1376
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1377
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1378
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1379
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1380
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1381
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1382
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1383
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1384
from any tree without problems.
1385
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
1389
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1390
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1391
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1393
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
1394
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
1395
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
1400
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
1401
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
1402
supported transports.
1405
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
1406
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
1407
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
1409
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1410
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1412
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
1413
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
1414
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
1415
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
1417
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
1418
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
1422
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
1423
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
1424
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
1425
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1427
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
1428
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
1429
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
1430
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
1432
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
1433
(Robert Collins, #88319)
1435
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
1436
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
1438
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1439
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1441
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1442
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1447
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1450
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1451
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1454
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1455
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1456
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1457
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1459
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1460
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1461
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1462
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
1468
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
1469
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
1471
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
1472
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
1474
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
1475
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
1477
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
1478
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
1480
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
1481
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
1483
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
1484
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
1486
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
1487
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
1489
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
1492
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
1493
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
1495
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
1496
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
1497
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
1499
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
1500
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
1502
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
1503
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
1505
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
1506
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
1508
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
1509
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
1511
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
1512
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
1513
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
1514
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
1516
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1518
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
1519
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1520
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
1522
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
1523
(Robert Collins, #161240)
1525
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
1527
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1529
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1530
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1532
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1533
specify a port in urls.
1534
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1536
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
1537
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
1539
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
1540
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
1542
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
1543
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
1545
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
1546
(Robert Collins, #153789)
1548
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
1549
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
1550
(Robert Collins, #165304).
1552
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
1554
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
1555
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
1557
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
1560
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
1561
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
1563
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
1564
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
1566
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
1567
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
1568
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
1570
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
1571
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
1573
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
1574
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
1575
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
1576
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
1578
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
1579
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
1581
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
1582
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
1583
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
1585
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
1586
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
1588
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
1589
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
1591
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
1592
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
1596
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
1597
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
1599
* The return value of
1600
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
1601
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
1602
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
1603
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
1605
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
1608
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
1609
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
1615
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
1616
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
1617
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
1620
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
1621
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
1623
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
1633
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
1636
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
1637
----------------------
1639
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1643
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
1644
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
1646
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
1647
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
1648
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
1649
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
1650
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
1651
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
1652
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
1653
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
1654
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
1655
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
1656
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
1657
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
1662
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
1663
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
1664
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
1665
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
1666
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
1667
for further details. (Robert Collins)
1669
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
1670
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
1671
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
1674
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
1676
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
1677
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
1679
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
1680
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
1683
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
1684
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
1685
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
1689
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
1690
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1692
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
1693
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
1695
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
1696
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
1697
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
1698
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
1700
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
1703
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
1704
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
1705
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
1706
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
1708
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
1709
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
1711
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
1712
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1714
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
1715
the contents. (Robert Collins)
1717
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
1718
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
1722
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
1723
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
1725
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
1726
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
1728
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
1729
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
1731
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
1732
(Martin Pool, #63894)
1734
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
1735
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
1739
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
1741
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
1746
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
1747
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
1748
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
1750
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
1751
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
1753
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
1754
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
1756
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
1757
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
1758
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
1759
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
1761
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
1762
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
1763
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
1764
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
1765
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
1767
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
1768
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
1770
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
1772
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1774
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
1775
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
1777
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
1778
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
1780
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
1781
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
1783
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
1784
contains a symbolic link.
1785
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
1787
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
1788
(James Westby, #140615)
1790
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
1791
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
1792
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
1794
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
1795
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
1796
(Martin Pool, #144633)
1798
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1800
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
1801
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
1803
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
1805
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
1807
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
1808
directory to detect leaking tests.
1809
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
1811
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
1812
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
1813
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
1815
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
1818
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
1819
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
1821
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
1826
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
1827
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
1829
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
1830
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
1831
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
1833
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
1834
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
1835
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
1837
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
1838
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
1840
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
1841
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
1843
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
1844
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
1847
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
1848
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
1850
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
1851
class that needs it.
1854
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
1855
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
1857
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
1858
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
1859
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
1861
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
1862
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
1863
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
1866
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
1867
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
1868
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
1869
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
1874
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1875
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1876
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1878
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1879
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1880
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1881
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1883
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1884
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1887
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1888
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1889
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1891
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1892
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1893
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1895
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1896
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1898
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1899
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1900
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1902
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1903
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1905
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1906
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1907
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1909
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1910
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1911
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1913
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1914
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1915
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1916
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1918
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1919
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1920
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1921
returned. (Robert Collins)
1923
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1924
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1926
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1927
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1928
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1929
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1932
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1933
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1937
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1938
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1940
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1941
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1942
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1943
makes this behavior available to other users.
1946
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1947
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
1955
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1956
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1957
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1959
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1961
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1962
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1963
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1964
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1966
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1967
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
1971
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1972
----------------------
1974
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
1975
in bzrlib/remote.py.
1978
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
1979
----------------------
1983
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1984
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1985
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1986
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1989
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1990
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1991
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1996
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1997
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1998
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
2001
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
2002
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
2003
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
2005
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2006
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2007
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2009
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2010
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2012
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
2013
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
2014
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
2015
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
2016
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
2017
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
2018
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
2019
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
2020
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
2021
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
2023
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2024
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2026
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
2027
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
2028
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2032
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2033
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2035
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
2036
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
2037
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
2039
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2040
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2042
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2043
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2045
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2048
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2049
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2051
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2052
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2054
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2055
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2057
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2058
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2060
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2062
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2065
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
2066
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
2067
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
2068
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
2070
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2072
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
2073
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
2076
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2077
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2079
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2080
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2083
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2084
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2086
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2087
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2089
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
2090
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
2091
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
2092
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
2093
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
2094
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
2095
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
2097
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2098
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2100
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2101
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2103
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2104
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2106
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2107
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2109
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2111
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2113
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2114
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
2116
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
2117
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
2118
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
2120
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2121
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2122
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2126
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2127
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2129
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2132
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2135
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2136
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2138
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2140
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2141
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2143
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2144
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2146
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
2147
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
2148
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
2149
space). (Robert Collins)
2151
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2152
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2155
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2156
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2158
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2159
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2161
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
2162
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
2163
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
2164
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
2166
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
2167
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
2168
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
2171
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
2174
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
2175
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
2176
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
2178
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
2179
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
2180
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
2181
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
2182
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
2186
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
2187
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2189
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
2190
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
2191
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
2192
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
2193
affected. (Robert Collins)
2195
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
2196
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
2197
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
2200
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2201
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2205
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
2206
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
2208
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
2209
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2211
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2212
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2214
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
2217
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
2218
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2222
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
2223
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
2224
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
2225
its version information. (Robert Collins)
2227
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
2228
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2230
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
2231
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
2232
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
2233
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2235
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
2236
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
2237
present. (Robert Collins)
2239
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
2240
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
2241
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
2242
API. (Robert Collins)
2244
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
2245
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
2248
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
2249
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
2251
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
2252
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
2253
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
2254
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
2255
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
2256
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
2258
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
2259
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
2260
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
2262
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
2263
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
2264
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
2265
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
2268
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
2271
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
2272
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
2273
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
2274
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
2275
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
2276
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
2277
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
2279
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
2280
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
2281
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
2282
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
2284
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
2285
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
2286
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
2287
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
2288
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
2289
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
2291
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
2292
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
2293
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
2295
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
2296
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2304
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2305
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2306
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2307
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2308
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2309
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2310
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
2311
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
2316
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2317
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2318
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
2321
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
2322
----------------------
2326
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2327
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2328
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2329
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2330
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2332
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2333
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2335
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2337
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2339
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2340
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2343
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2344
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2347
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2350
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2351
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2353
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2354
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2356
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2357
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2359
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2360
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2362
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2363
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2365
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2370
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2371
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2373
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2374
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2376
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2377
the repository (Robert Collins)
2379
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2380
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2381
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2382
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2383
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2385
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2386
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2388
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2389
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2390
(John Arbash Meinel)
2392
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2393
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2394
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2396
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2397
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2398
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2399
(John Arbash Meinel)
2401
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2402
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2405
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2406
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2408
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2411
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2413
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2415
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2416
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2418
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2419
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2422
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2423
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2424
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2425
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2427
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2428
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
2429
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
2431
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
2432
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
2433
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
2435
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2436
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2438
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2439
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2440
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2441
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2442
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2443
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2446
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2447
(Alexander Belchenko)
2449
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2450
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2452
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2453
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2455
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2457
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2458
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2462
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2463
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2464
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2465
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2467
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2469
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2472
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2473
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2474
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2475
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2476
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2477
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2481
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2482
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2483
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2484
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2486
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2487
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2488
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2489
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2490
tests have been refactored too.
2493
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2494
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2495
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2499
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2500
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2501
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2503
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2504
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2505
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2506
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2507
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2508
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2509
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2511
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2512
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2513
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2514
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2515
(John Arbash Meinel)
2517
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2518
functionality for testing.
2520
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2522
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2523
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2525
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2527
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2530
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2531
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2533
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2534
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2535
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2537
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2540
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2541
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2543
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2544
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2545
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2546
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2548
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2549
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2551
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2552
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2553
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2555
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2558
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2559
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2560
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2561
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2562
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
2563
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2565
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
2566
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
2567
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
2568
many files. (Robert Collins)
2570
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
2571
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
2572
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
2573
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
2577
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
2578
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
2579
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
2581
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
2582
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
2584
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
2585
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
2586
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2590
--------------------
2594
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
2597
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
2598
-----------------------
2602
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
2603
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
2605
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
2606
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
2607
(James Westby, #122656)
2609
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
2610
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
2612
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
2613
authentication header.
2614
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
2616
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
2618
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
2619
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
2621
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
2623
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
2624
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
2626
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
2627
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
2628
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
2630
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
2631
individually and as part of revision ranges.
2632
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
2634
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
2635
(Martin Pool, #109169)
2637
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
2638
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
2640
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
2641
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
2643
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2645
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
2649
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
2650
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
2651
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
2652
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
2653
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
2654
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
2656
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
2657
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
2658
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
2660
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
2663
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
2664
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
2666
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
2667
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
2669
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
2670
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
2672
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
2673
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
2674
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
2675
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
2676
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
2678
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
2679
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
2681
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
2682
can be slow it is useful feedback).
2683
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
2685
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
2686
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
2688
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
2690
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
2691
output. (Aaron Bentley)
2693
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
2694
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
2697
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
2700
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
2701
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
2703
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
2704
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
2706
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
2707
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
2709
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
2711
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
2712
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
2714
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
2719
* Testing cleanups -
2720
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2721
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
2722
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2723
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
2724
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2725
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
2726
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2727
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
2728
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2729
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
2730
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
2731
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
2732
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2733
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
2734
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2735
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
2736
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
2739
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
2741
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
2742
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
2743
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
2745
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
2746
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
2748
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
2749
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2751
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
2753
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
2754
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
2755
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
2756
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
2757
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
2758
same location. (Robert Collins)
2762
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
2764
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
2766
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
2768
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
2771
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
2774
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
2775
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
2776
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
2778
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
2780
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
2781
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
2782
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
2784
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
2785
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
2787
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
2788
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
2789
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
2791
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
2792
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
2793
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
2795
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
2796
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
2797
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
2799
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
2800
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
2803
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
2804
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
2806
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
2807
(Alexander Belchenko)
2811
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
2812
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
2813
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
2814
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2816
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
2817
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
2818
testing. (Robert Collins)
2820
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
2821
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
2823
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
2824
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
2825
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
2826
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
2827
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
2828
attribute during the test parameterisation in
2829
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
2831
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
2832
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
2833
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
2834
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
2836
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
2837
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
2839
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
2840
avoid useless cloning.
2841
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)

--------------------
2849
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
2850
(Colin Watson, #120647)
2852
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.

-----------------------
2859
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2861
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
2862
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
2863
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
2864
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
2865
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
2866
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
2867
and unlock() like so::
2869
work_tree.lock_read()
2871
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
2876
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
2877
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
2879
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
2880
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
2881
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
2883
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2884
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2885
too. (Robert Collins)
2889
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
2890
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
2893
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
2894
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
2896
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
2897
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
2899
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
2900
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
2901
understanding what changes have occurred
2902
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
2904
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
2905
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
2906
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2908
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
2909
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
2910
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
2911
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2913
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2918
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
2919
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
2920
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
2921
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
2922
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
2924
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2925
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2926
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2928
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
2929
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
2931
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
2933
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2935
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2936
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2938
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2939
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2941
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2942
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2944
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2945
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2947
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2948
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2950
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2951
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2952
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
2955
--------------------
2959
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2960
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2961
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2962
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2963
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2965
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2966
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2967
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2969
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2970
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2974
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2975
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2976
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2978
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2979
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2980
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2981
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
2983
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
2984
-----------------------
2988
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2989
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2990
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2991
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2993
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2994
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2995
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
2997
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2998
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
3000
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
3001
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
3003
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
3004
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
3006
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
3007
-----------------------
3009
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3011
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
3012
it could be recovered again.
3013
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
3014
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
3015
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
3017
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
3019
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
3020
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
3024
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
3025
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
3027
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
3028
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
3029
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
3030
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
3032
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
3033
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
3035
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
3036
tests with names that match that regular expression.
3037
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
3039
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
3040
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
3041
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
3043
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
3044
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
3045
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
3047
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
3048
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
3051
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
3054
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
3055
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
3056
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
3057
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
3059
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
3062
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
3063
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
3064
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
3067
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
3068
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
3070
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
3071
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
3073
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
3074
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
3075
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
3076
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
3079
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
3080
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
3082
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
3083
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3085
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
3086
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
3087
(Robert Collins, #107125).
3089
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
3090
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
3091
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
3093
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
3094
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
3095
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3097
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
3098
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
3099
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
3100
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
3102
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
3103
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
3104
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
3105
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
3107
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
3108
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
3109
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
3110
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
3111
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
3112
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
3113
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
3114
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
3120
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
3121
code paths. (Robert Collins)
3123
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
3124
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
3125
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
3126
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
3127
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3129
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
3130
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
3132
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
3133
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
3135
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
3136
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
3138
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
3139
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
3141
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
3142
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
3143
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
3146
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
3147
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
3148
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
3149
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
3150
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
3153
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
3154
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
3155
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
3157
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
3158
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
3161
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
3162
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
3163
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
3166
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
3167
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
3168
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
3169
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
3170
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
3172
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
3173
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
3174
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
3175
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3177
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
3178
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3180
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
3181
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
3182
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
3183
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
3184
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
3185
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
3187
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
3188
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
3190
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
3191
help. (Robert Collins)
3193
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
3194
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3196
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
3197
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
3198
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
3199
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
3200
(John Arbash Meinel)
3202
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
3203
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
3204
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
3205
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
3206
useful. (Robert Collins)
3208
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
3213
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
3214
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
3216
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
3217
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
3219
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
3220
properly and is no longer beneficial.
3221
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
3223
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
3226
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
3227
the file, and does it faster.
3228
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
3230
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
3231
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
3232
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
3234
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
3235
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
3236
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
3237
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
3239
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
3240
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
3241
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
3242
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
3244
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
3245
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
3247
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
3248
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
3249
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
3250
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
3253
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
3255
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
3256
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
3258
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
3259
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
3261
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
3262
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
3263
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
3264
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
3268
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3269
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3273
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3274
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3275
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3277
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3278
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3280
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3281
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3282
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3283
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3284
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3285
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3286
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3287
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3289
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3290
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3291
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3293
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3294
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3295
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
3296
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
3297
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3299
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3301
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3302
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3303
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3305
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3306
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
3314
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
3317
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
3318
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
3321
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
3322
-----------------------
3326
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
3327
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
3332
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3333
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3334
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3335
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3336
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3337
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3338
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3339
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3344
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3345
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3346
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3348
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3349
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3352
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3353
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3354
(John Arbash Meinel)
3356
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3357
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3358
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3359
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3360
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3364
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3367
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3368
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3370
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3371
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3373
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3374
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3375
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3377
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3378
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3380
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3381
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3382
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3383
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3384
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3386
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3387
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3388
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3390
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
3393
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
3394
-----------------------
3396
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3398
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3399
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3400
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3404
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3405
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3407
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3408
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3410
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3412
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3413
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3415
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3416
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3420
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3425
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3426
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3427
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3428
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3430
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3431
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3433
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3434
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3436
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3439
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
3449
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
3450
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
3451
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
3452
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
3453
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
3455
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
3456
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
3457
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
3458
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
3459
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
3460
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
3462
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3464
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
3465
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
3466
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
3467
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
3468
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
3469
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
3470
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
3471
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3475
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3476
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3478
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
3479
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
3480
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
3481
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
3483
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
3484
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
3485
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
3486
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
3487
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
3489
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
3492
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3495
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3498
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3499
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3502
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3505
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3506
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3508
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3509
directory. (Martin Pool)
3511
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3512
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3513
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3514
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3516
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3517
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3518
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3519
in docs/configuration.txt.
3521
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3522
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
3525
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
3526
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
3527
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
3528
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
3529
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
3530
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3532
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3533
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3535
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3536
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3538
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
3543
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
3544
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
3545
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
3546
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
3547
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
3548
(John Arbash Meinel)
3550
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
3551
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
3554
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
3555
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
3556
(John Arbash Meinel)
3558
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
3559
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
3560
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
3561
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
3562
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
3563
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
3565
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
3566
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
3567
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
3569
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
3570
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
3571
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
3572
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
3574
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3576
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
3577
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
3578
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
3579
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
3581
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
3582
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
3583
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
3584
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
3586
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
3587
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
3588
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
3590
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
3591
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
3592
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
3594
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
3595
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
3596
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
3597
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
3599
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
3600
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
3601
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
3603
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
3604
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
3605
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
3607
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
3608
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
3609
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
3610
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
3611
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
3612
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
3613
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
3614
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
3615
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
3616
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
3617
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
3621
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
3622
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
3623
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
3625
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
3628
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
3629
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
3630
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
3631
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
3633
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
3634
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
3637
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
3638
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
3640
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
3642
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
3643
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
3644
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
3646
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
3647
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
3649
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
3650
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
3652
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
3653
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
3655
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
3656
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
3658
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
3660
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
3661
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
3665
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
3666
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
3670
--------------------
3674
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
3678
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
3679
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
3680
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
3682
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
3683
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
3684
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
3687
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
3688
-----------------------
3692
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
3693
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
3694
server, then you can write over the http connection.
3695
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3697
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
3700
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
3701
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
3702
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3704
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
3705
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
3707
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
3710
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
3711
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
3712
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
3713
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
3714
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
3715
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
3717
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
3718
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
3719
should enable you to do::
3721
[/home/user/project]
3722
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
3723
push_location:policy = appendpath
3725
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
3726
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
3729
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
3730
for each file. For example::
3732
$ bzr status --short
3738
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
3739
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
3741
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
3743
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
3744
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
3746
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
3750
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
3751
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
3752
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
3753
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
3755
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
3756
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
3757
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
3759
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3761
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
3762
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
3763
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
3764
(Alexander Belchenko)
3766
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
3769
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
3770
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
3772
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
3776
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
3777
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
3779
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
3780
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
3781
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
3782
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
3783
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
3785
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
3786
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
3788
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
3789
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
3791
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
3793
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
3795
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
3796
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
3797
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
3798
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
3799
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
3801
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
3802
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
3803
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
3804
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
3806
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
3807
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
3809
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
3810
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
3812
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
3813
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
3815
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
3816
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)

No changes from 0.13rc1
3824
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
3825
-----------------------
3829
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
3831
(Daniel Silverstone)
3833
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
3834
operations are substantially faster.
3835
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
3837
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
3838
tree from some other url. For example:
3839
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
3840
(Daniel Silverstone)
3842
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
3843
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
3844
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
3845
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
3847
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
3850
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
3851
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
3852
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
3853
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
3854
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
3855
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
3859
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
3860
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
3863
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3864
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3865
(John Arbash Meinel)
3867
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
3868
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
3869
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
3870
(John Arbash Meinel)
3872
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
3873
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3875
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3876
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3878
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3879
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3884
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
3885
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
3886
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
3888
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
3889
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
3890
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
3891
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
3893
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3895
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3896
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3898
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3899
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3900
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
3901
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3903
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3904
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3905
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3907
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3908
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3909
them as full references rather than integers.
3910
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3912
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3913
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3915
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3917
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3918
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3920
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3921
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3923
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3924
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3925
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3926
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3928
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3929
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3930
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3932
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3933
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3935
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3936
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3937
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3938
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3939
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3943
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3944
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
3947
--------------------
3951
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3952
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3953
(John Arbash Meinel)
3955
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
3956
-----------------------
3960
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3961
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3962
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3963
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3965
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3966
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3968
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3970
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3971
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3972
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3973
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3975
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3976
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3977
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3978
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3979
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3981
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3983
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3984
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3988
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3989
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3990
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3992
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3993
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3994
(John Arbash Meinel)
3996
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3997
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3998
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4000
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4001
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4004
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4005
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4006
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4008
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4009
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4010
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4011
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4012
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4013
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4015
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4016
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4017
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4020
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4021
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4025
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4026
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4027
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4030
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4031
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
4033
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4034
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4035
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4037
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4038
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4040
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4041
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4042
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4043
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4045
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4046
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4048
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4049
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4050
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4052
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4053
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4055
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4057
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4058
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4063
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4064
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4065
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4066
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4068
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4069
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4070
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4073
--------------------
4075
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
4077
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
4078
-----------------------
4082
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
4084
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
4087
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
4088
-----------------------
4092
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
4093
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
4094
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
4095
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
4096
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
4097
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
4098
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
4100
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
4101
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
4102
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
4104
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
4106
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
4107
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
4109
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
4110
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
4111
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
4114
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
4115
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
4116
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
4117
(John Arbash Meinel)
4119
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
4120
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
4121
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
4122
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
4125
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
4126
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
4127
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
4128
(John Arbash Meinel)
4132
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
4133
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
4135
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
4137
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
4138
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
4139
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
4141
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
4142
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
4144
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
4145
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
4147
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
4148
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
4150
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
4151
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
4153
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
4155
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
4156
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
4158
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
4159
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
4161
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
4162
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
4164
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
4165
(John Arbash Meinel)
4167
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
4168
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
4169
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
4171
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
4172
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4174
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
4175
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
4176
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
4177
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
4179
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
4180
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
4181
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
4183
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
4184
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
4188
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
4192
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
4193
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
4194
(John Arbash Meinel)
4196
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
4197
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
4198
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
4199
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4201
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
4204
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
4205
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
4206
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
4208
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
4209
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
4211
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
4212
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
4213
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
4215
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
4216
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
4217
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
4218
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
4219
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
4220
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
4221
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
4222
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
4223
caller to repeat their request.
4224
(John Arbash Meinel)
4226
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
4227
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
4229
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
4230
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
4232
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
4233
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
4234
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
4235
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
4236
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
4237
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
4238
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
4240
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
4241
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
4242
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
4243
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
4244
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
4245
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
4246
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
4247
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
4250
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
4251
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
4252
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
4254
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
4255
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
4257
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
4258
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
4260
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
4261
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4265
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
4266
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
4268
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
4269
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
4270
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4272
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
4273
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
4274
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4277
--------------------
4280
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
4281
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4283
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
4284
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
4285
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
4286
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
4287
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
4289
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
4290
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
4291
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
4293
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
4294
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
4296
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
4297
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
4298
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4302
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
4304
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
4305
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
4306
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
4308
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
4310
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
4312
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
4313
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
4314
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
4315
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
4317
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
4318
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
4319
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
4320
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
4321
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
4323
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
4324
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
4326
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
4327
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
4329
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
4330
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
4332
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
4333
in handling of revision properties.
4334
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
4336
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
4337
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
4341
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
4342
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
4343
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
4344
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
4345
(John Arbash Meinel)
4347
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
4348
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
4349
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4351
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4352
---------------------
4356
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
4357
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
4358
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
4359
specific one '.bzrignore'.
4360
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
4361
a more conservative list than the old default.
4362
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
4363
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
4364
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
4365
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
4367
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4368
to more locations than just branch locations.
4373
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
4374
revno:N:branch. For example,
4375
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
4376
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4378
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
4379
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
4380
the path of a file that has been versioned.
4381
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
4382
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
4383
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
4384
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
4385
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
4388
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
4389
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
4390
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
4393
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
4394
(Alexander Belchenko)
4396
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
4398
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
4401
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
4402
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
4403
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
4404
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
4405
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
4406
(John Arbash Meinel)
4408
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
4409
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
4410
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
4411
grained analysis of performance.
4412
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4414
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
4415
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
4417
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
4418
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
4419
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
4420
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
4421
file. (Robert Collins).
4423
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
4424
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
4425
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
4427
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
4428
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
4431
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
4432
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
4434
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
4435
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
4436
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
4437
the same way you would apply another branch.
4438
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4440
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
4441
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
4443
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
4446
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
4449
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
4450
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
4451
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
4453
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
4454
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
4455
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
4457
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
4458
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
4460
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
4461
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
4462
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
4463
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
4464
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
4466
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
4467
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
4469
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
4470
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
4471
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
4472
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
4473
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
4474
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
4475
branch is as much as 4x faster.
4476
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
4478
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
4479
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
4480
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
4484
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4486
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4488
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4489
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4491
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4492
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4494
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4495
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4497
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4499
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4500
(John Arbash Meinel)
4502
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4503
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4505
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4506
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4509
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4510
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4512
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4513
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4515
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4516
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4517
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4518
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4520
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4521
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4523
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4525
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4526
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4528
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4530
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4532
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4533
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4535
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4536
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4538
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4539
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4540
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4542
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4543
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4544
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4546
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4547
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4549
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4550
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4552
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4553
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4555
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4556
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4558
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4559
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
4561
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
4562
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
4563
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
4565
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
4567
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
4568
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
4572
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
4573
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
4574
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
4576
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
4577
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
4579
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
4580
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
4581
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4583
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
4584
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4586
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
4587
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
4590
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
4591
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
4592
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4594
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
4595
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
4596
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4598
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
4599
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
4600
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
4602
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
4603
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
4604
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
4606
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
4607
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
4608
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
4610
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
4611
instead. (Robert Collins)
4613
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
4615
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
4616
---------------------
4620
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
4622
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
4623
---------------------
4627
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
4628
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
4630
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
4631
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4633
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
4634
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
4635
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
4639
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
4641
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
4642
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
4644
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
4648
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
4649
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
4650
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
4651
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
4655
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
4656
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
4657
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
4661
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
4662
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
4663
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4667
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
4668
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
4673
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4675
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
4676
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
4677
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
4678
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
4679
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
4680
will keep the same format.
4682
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
4683
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
4684
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
4685
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
4686
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
4688
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
4689
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
4690
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
4691
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
4692
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
4693
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
4694
indicating the current revision of the branch.
4696
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
4697
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
4698
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
4699
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
4700
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
4702
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
4703
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
4704
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
4710
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
4711
convention. Paths now take the form::
4713
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
4715
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
4717
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
4718
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
4720
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
4721
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
4722
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
4724
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
4725
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
4726
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
4727
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
4729
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
4730
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
4731
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
4733
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
4735
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
4737
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
4738
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
4741
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
4742
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
4745
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
4747
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
4748
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
4749
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
4752
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
4754
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
4756
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
4759
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
4760
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
4762
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
4763
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
4766
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
4767
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
4770
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
4772
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
4774
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
4775
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
4777
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
4778
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
4779
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
4780
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
4781
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
4782
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
4784
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
4786
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
4787
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
4790
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
4791
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
4793
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
4794
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
4796
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
4798
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
4799
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
4800
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
4801
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
4802
specification by Martin Pool.
4803
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
4805
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
4808
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
4809
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4811
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
4812
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
4813
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
4815
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
4817
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
4818
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
4823
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
4824
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4826
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
4828
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
4830
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
4833
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
4834
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
4835
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
4836
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
4840
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
4841
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
4842
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
4843
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4845
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
4846
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
4847
tried. (Martin Pool)
4849
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
4852
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
4854
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
4855
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
4856
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
4858
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
4859
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
4861
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
4862
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
4863
paths. (Robert Collins)
4865
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
4866
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
4867
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
4869
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
4870
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
4871
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
4873
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4874
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4875
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4877
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4880
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4883
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4885
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4887
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
4888
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
4889
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
4892
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4893
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4895
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
4896
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
4897
check. (Robert Collins)
4899
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4900
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4904
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4905
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4907
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4908
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4909
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4910
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4912
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4913
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4914
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4915
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4916
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4918
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4919
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4920
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4922
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4924
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4925
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
4932
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4933
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4935
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4936
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4937
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4940
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4941
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4943
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4944
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4945
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4946
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4947
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4949
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4950
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4951
used. (Robert Collins)
4953
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4954
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4957
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4958
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4959
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4961
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4964
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4965
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4969
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4970
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4972
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4974
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4976
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4977
tree. (Robert Collins)
4979
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4980
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4981
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4984
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4987
* Tweaks to short log printing
4989
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4992
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4993
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4995
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4996
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4998
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4999
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5001
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5002
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5003
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5005
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5006
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5008
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5009
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5012
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5013
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5015
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5016
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5018
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5019
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5021
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5024
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5025
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5027
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5028
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5030
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5031
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5032
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
5036
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
5038
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5040
* Error when run with -OO
5042
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
5045
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5047
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5049
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5050
ignored by diff and status
5052
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5053
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5055
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5057
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5059
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5060
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5062
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5063
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5065
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5068
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5069
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5071
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5073
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5074
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5076
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5079
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5080
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5082
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5086
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5087
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5089
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5091
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5093
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5095
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5096
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5097
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5099
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5101
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5102
(John Arbash Meinel)
5104
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5106
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5107
If adding a new test script please add that to
5108
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5110
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5111
imported. (Martin Pool)
5113
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5114
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5115
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5116
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5117
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5120
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5121
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5122
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5124
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5125
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5126
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5128
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5129
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5130
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5131
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5132
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5135
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5136
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5141
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5142
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5144
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5145
function. (Robert Collins)
5147
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5148
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5149
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5151
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5152
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5155
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5156
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5157
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5158
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5159
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5160
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5161
version. (Robert Collins)
5163
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5164
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5166
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5167
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5168
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5169
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5170
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5171
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5173
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5176
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5186
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5188
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5190
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5193
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5194
query method. (Robert Collins)
5196
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5199
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5202
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5205
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5206
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5207
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5208
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5210
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5211
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5212
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5213
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5215
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5216
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
5223
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
5226
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
5230
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
5231
a separator, not ':'.
5234
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
5235
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
5236
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
5238
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
5239
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
5242
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
5243
has been added that suppresses all output.
5245
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
5248
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
5249
Goffredo Baroncelli.
5251
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
5252
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
5254
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
5255
a revision. (Robert Collins)
5257
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
5258
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
5259
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
5260
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
5262
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
5264
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
5265
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
5267
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
5268
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
5270
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
5271
output directory, if one was supplied.
5273
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
5274
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
5275
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
5276
parameters. (Robert Collins)
5278
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
5280
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
5281
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
5283
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
5284
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
5285
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
5287
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
5288
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
5290
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
5293
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
5295
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
5299
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
5300
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
5301
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
5303
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
5304
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
5305
related questions. (Robert Collins)
5307
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
5308
is given. (Martin Pool)
5310
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
5311
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
5312
file. (Robert Collins)
5314
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
5319
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
5320
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
5321
representation. (Martin Pool).
5323
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
5324
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
5325
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
5327
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5330
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
5331
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
5334
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5335
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
5336
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5337
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5338
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5340
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5341
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5342
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5343
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5344
python path. (Robert Collins)
5346
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5347
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5348
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5349
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5351
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5352
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5354
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5355
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5358
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5359
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5360
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5362
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5363
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5364
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5366
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5367
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5369
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5370
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5371
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5374
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5375
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5376
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5377
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5380
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5383
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5384
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5387
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
5388
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
5389
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
5391
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
5392
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
5393
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
5395
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
5396
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
5397
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
5399
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5400
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5402
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
5403
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
5404
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
5405
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
5406
caller. (Robert Collins)
5408
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
5409
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
5412
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
5413
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
5416
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
5418
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
5419
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
5423
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
5424
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
5426
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
5427
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
5430
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
5431
--------------------
5435
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
5436
allow directories to be listed.
5438
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
5439
upgrading branch format.
5443
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
5451
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
5452
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
5453
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
5454
high-latency connections.
5458
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
5461
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
5462
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
5464
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
5465
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
5466
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
5467
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5469
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5470
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5472
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5473
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5475
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
5476
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
5477
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5479
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
5480
for files with only a change to their executable status.
5481
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
5484
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5485
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5487
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5488
different partial views of history.
5490
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5491
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5495
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5496
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5497
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5499
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5500
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5503
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5504
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5506
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5509
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5510
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5512
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5513
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5514
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5515
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5517
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5519
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5520
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5523
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5524
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5526
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5527
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5528
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5533
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5534
for your viewing pleasure.
5536
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5537
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5539
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5540
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5541
handling of such circumstances.
5543
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
5544
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
5545
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
5547
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5549
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5550
we call them revisions not patches.
5552
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5553
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5555
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
5556
giving the revision *of that file*.
5558
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
5559
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
5560
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
5564
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
5565
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
5567
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
5568
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
5571
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
5572
--------------------
5576
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
5578
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
5581
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
5583
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
5585
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
5586
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5590
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
5591
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
5593
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
5594
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
5595
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
5596
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
5599
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
5600
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5604
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
5606
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
5607
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
5610
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
5611
--------------------
5615
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
5616
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
5617
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
5618
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
5621
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
5624
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
5625
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
5626
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
5627
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
5628
for the operating system is still tried.
5630
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
5631
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
5632
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
5637
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
5641
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
5643
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
5646
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
5652
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
5654
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
5657
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
5658
--------------------
5662
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
5663
help with intelligent shell completion.
5665
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
5670
* Much better merge support.
5672
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
5673
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
5679
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
5680
mention revisions that are not present.
5682
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
5684
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
5686
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
5687
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
5692
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
5694
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
5695
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
5701
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
5702
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
5707
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
5708
--------------------
5712
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
5713
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
5715
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
5717
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
5718
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
5720
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
5723
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
5725
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
5728
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
5729
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
5731
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
5732
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
5733
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
5738
* Faster working tree operations.
5743
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
5744
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
5745
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
5746
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
5748
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
5749
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
5750
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
5751
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
5752
standard plugins directory.
5754
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
5755
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
5756
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
5757
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
5759
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
5760
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
5762
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
5765
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
5766
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
5767
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
5769
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
5770
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
5772
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
5773
line options must come before the command name because they
5774
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
5775
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
5778
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
5780
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
5781
is available with ``--short``.
5786
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
5789
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
5790
---------------------
5794
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
5795
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5797
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
5798
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
5799
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
5800
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
5802
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
5803
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
5804
with the ``--forward`` option.
5806
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
5807
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
5813
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
5814
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
5816
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
5818
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
5819
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
5821
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
5823
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
5824
either read or write mode.
5826
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
5828
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
5831
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
5833
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
5834
suggested by LarstiQ.
5836
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
5837
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
5839
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
5842
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
5843
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
5845
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
5846
haven't changed since the previous time.
5848
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
5849
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
5851
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
5853
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
5855
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
5856
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
5858
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
5859
options through to an external GNU diff.
5861
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
5864
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
5870
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
5871
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
5873
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
5879
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
5880
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
5883
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
5884
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
5886
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
5887
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
5889
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
5890
under a different version.
5892
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
5897
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
5899
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
5900
Scott James Remnant.
5902
* Better help messages for many commands.
5904
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
5905
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
5907
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
5908
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
5910
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
5912
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
5914
* New AtomicFile class.
5916
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
5921
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
5922
2.4 is now only recommended.
5925
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
5926
---------------------
5930
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
5931
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
5933
* More default ignore patterns.
5935
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
5936
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
5938
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
5940
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
5943
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
5948
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
5949
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
5950
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
5951
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
5952
there are DNS problems.
5954
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
5959
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
5961
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
5963
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
5964
trailing newlines properly.
5969
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
5972
* More tests in test.sh.
5974
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
5975
directory and delete it when done.
5977
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
5982
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
5985
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
5989
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
5990
---------------------
5994
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
5997
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
5999
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
6002
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
6005
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
6007
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
6011
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
6012
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
6017
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
6018
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
6023
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
6027
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
6035
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
6038
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
6039
-----------------------------------
6043
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
6045
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
6046
rather than replacing it.
6048
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
6052
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
6055
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
6056
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
6058
* Performance improvements.
6060
* New global --profile option.
6062
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
6063
the root directory only.
6066
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
6067
---------------------
6071
* More information from info command.
6073
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
6075
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
6076
committing to stores.
6078
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
6082
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
6086
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
6087
installation easier.
6089
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
6093
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
6094
------------------------
6098
* First public release.
6100
* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
