This release adds a translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish.
11
(Contributions of other translations would be very welcome.)
19
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
22
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
23
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
24
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
25
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
26
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
27
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
28
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
29
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
33
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
34
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
36
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
37
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
38
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
42
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
43
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
45
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
46
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
47
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
48
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
50
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
51
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
52
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
53
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
55
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
56
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
57
in use by another process.
60
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
61
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
62
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
63
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
65
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
66
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
68
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
69
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
70
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
72
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
73
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
74
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
76
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
78
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
80
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
81
under vim on Mac OS X.
82
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
86
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
87
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
89
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
90
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
93
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
97
* New helper function for splitting test suites
98
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
104
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
105
instead. (Martin Pool)
107
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
108
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
109
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
110
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
111
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
113
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
114
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
115
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
116
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
117
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
118
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
120
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
121
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
124
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
125
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
128
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
129
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
130
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
132
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
133
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
134
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
135
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
136
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
139
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
140
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
141
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
142
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
145
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
152
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
153
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
154
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
158
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
159
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
160
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
164
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
165
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
169
bzr 1.5rc1 2008-05-09
170
---------------------
172
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
176
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
177
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
178
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
179
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
185
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
186
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley)
188
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
189
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
191
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
196
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
197
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
199
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
200
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
202
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
203
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
204
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
206
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
207
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
208
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
210
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
213
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
214
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
216
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
217
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
219
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
220
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
222
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
223
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
225
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
226
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
227
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
229
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
230
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
232
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
233
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
235
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
236
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
237
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
238
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
240
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
241
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
244
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
245
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
246
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
248
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
249
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
250
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
251
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
252
every revision each side had in common.
253
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
255
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
256
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
258
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
259
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
260
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
261
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
265
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
266
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
267
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
268
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
270
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
272
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
274
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
275
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
279
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
280
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
281
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
283
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
284
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
285
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
286
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
288
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
289
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
291
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
292
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
293
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
294
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
296
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
297
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
298
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
299
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
303
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
304
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
305
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
307
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
309
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
310
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
312
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
313
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
315
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
316
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
320
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
321
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
322
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
324
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
325
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
326
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
329
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
330
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
333
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
340
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
341
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
342
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
343
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
344
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
345
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
346
and faster performance.
350
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
351
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
352
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
353
(John Arbash Meinel, Andrew Bennetts, #214894)
356
bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
357
---------------------
361
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
362
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
363
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
365
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
366
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
368
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
369
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
371
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
372
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
373
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
374
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
375
every revision each side had in common.
376
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
379
bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
380
---------------------
384
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
386
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
387
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
389
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
390
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
391
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
393
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
394
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
395
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
396
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
397
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
398
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
401
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
402
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
403
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
404
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
408
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
410
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
411
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
412
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
414
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
415
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
416
See the User Reference for signature details.
417
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
419
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
420
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
424
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
425
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
426
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
427
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
429
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
430
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
432
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
433
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
434
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
437
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
440
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
441
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
442
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
444
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
447
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
448
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
450
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
451
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
453
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
454
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
455
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
457
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
458
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
459
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
460
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
461
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
463
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
464
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
466
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
467
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
471
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
472
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
473
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
474
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
475
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
476
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
478
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
479
directories, not only files. (LukÔŔ Lalinský, #107967)
481
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
482
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
483
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
485
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
486
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
488
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
489
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
490
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
491
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
493
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
494
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
495
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
496
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
497
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
499
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
501
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
502
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
504
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
506
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
507
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
509
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
510
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
514
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
516
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
518
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
520
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
524
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
525
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
526
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
528
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
529
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
530
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
531
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
533
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
534
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
535
release. (James Westby)
537
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
540
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
542
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
543
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
545
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
546
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
548
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
549
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
551
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
552
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
553
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
555
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
556
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
557
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
558
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
560
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
561
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
562
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
563
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
565
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
566
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
567
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
568
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
569
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
570
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
572
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
573
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
574
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
576
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
577
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
579
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
580
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
583
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
584
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
586
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
587
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
589
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
590
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
592
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
593
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
594
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
596
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
597
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
598
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
599
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
600
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
601
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
605
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
606
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
607
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
608
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
610
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
611
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
612
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
613
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
617
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
618
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
621
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
622
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
624
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
626
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
627
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
628
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
632
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
634
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
637
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
638
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
639
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
640
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
641
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
642
(Martin Pool, #109520)
644
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
645
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
647
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
648
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
649
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
650
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
652
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
653
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
655
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
656
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)
662
No changes from 1.3.1rc1.
665
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-04-04
666
---------------------
670
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
671
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
672
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
673
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
679
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
681
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
682
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
683
features have been added.
687
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
689
(#202778, Martin Pool)
692
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-03-16
693
---------------------
695
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
697
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
698
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
702
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
703
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
704
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
705
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
708
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
709
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
710
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
711
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
712
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
713
(Alexander Belchenko)
715
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
716
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
717
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
718
(Alexander Belchenko)
720
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
722
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
723
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
727
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
728
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
730
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
731
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
736
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
738
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
740
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
741
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
742
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
744
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
745
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
747
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
750
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
751
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
752
(Alexander Belchenko)
754
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
755
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
756
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
757
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
759
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
762
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
763
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
764
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
765
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
766
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
770
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
771
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
772
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
773
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
775
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
776
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
778
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
779
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
781
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
782
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
783
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
785
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
786
(#198793, John Ferlito)
788
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
791
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
792
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
794
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
796
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
798
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
799
symlinks (James Henstridge)
801
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
802
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
804
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
805
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
807
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
808
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
810
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
811
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
813
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
814
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
818
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
819
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
823
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
824
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
825
(Alexander Belchenko)
829
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
830
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
835
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
836
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
837
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
839
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
840
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
841
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
842
(Alexander Belchenko)
844
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
845
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
846
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
847
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
849
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
850
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
851
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
854
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
855
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
856
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
858
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
859
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
860
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
862
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
863
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
864
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
865
format. (Robert Collins)
873
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
876
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
877
---------------------
879
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
881
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
882
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
883
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
884
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
885
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
890
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
891
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
893
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
894
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
895
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
897
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
898
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
899
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
900
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
901
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
902
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
907
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
908
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
910
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
911
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
912
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
915
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
916
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
917
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
918
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
919
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
921
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
922
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
923
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
924
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
925
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
926
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
927
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
928
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
932
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
933
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
935
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
936
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
938
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
939
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
941
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
942
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
943
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
945
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
946
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
951
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
952
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
954
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
955
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
957
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
958
``--template`` (LukÔŔ Lalinský)
960
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
961
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
962
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
964
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
965
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
966
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
968
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
969
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
971
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
972
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
973
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
974
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
975
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
977
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
979
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
980
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
983
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
984
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
986
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
987
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
989
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
990
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
992
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
993
more characters which should be considered valid.
994
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
996
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
997
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
999
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1000
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1004
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1005
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1007
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1008
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1013
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1014
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1019
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1020
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1021
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1023
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1024
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1025
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1027
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1028
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1029
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1030
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1032
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1034
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1035
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1036
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1037
server. (Robert Collins)
1039
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1040
operate. (Robert Collins)
1042
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1043
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1044
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1046
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1047
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1048
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1049
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1051
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1052
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1054
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1055
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1056
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1058
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1059
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1061
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1062
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1064
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1065
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1066
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1067
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
1073
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
1075
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
1076
---------------------
1080
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1081
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1082
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1083
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1085
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1086
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1087
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1088
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1092
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1095
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1098
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1099
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1103
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (LukÔŔ Lalinský,
1106
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1107
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1108
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1110
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1112
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1113
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1114
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1115
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1116
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1118
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1119
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1120
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1122
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1123
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1125
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1128
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1130
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1132
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1135
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1136
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1140
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1141
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1143
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1144
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1146
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1149
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1150
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1152
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1153
``log --timezone``. (LukÔŔ Lalinský, #178722)
1155
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1156
redirected to a pipe. (LukÔŔ Lalinský)
1158
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1159
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1161
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1162
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1163
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1165
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1166
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1168
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1169
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1172
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1174
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1175
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1176
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1178
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1179
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1181
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1184
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1187
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1188
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1190
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1193
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1194
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1197
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1198
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
1199
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
1203
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1206
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1207
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1208
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1209
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1210
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1211
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1213
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1217
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
1220
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
1221
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1223
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1225
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1226
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1227
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1230
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1231
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1233
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
1240
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
1241
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1242
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
1244
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1245
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1248
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1249
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1251
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
1252
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1254
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1255
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1257
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
1258
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
1259
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1261
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1262
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1264
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
1265
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1267
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
1268
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
1271
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
1272
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
1274
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
1275
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
1283
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1285
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
1288
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
1290
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
1291
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
1295
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
1296
---------------------
1300
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
1301
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
1302
by mail to the mailing list.
1307
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
1309
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
1310
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
1311
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
1312
feedback but also incur more latency.
1313
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
1315
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
1316
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
1320
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1322
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
1327
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
1328
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
1329
wraps its output in a StringIO.
1333
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
1334
---------------------
1338
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1340
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
1343
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
1346
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1347
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1348
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
1349
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (LukÔŔ Lalinský)
1351
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
1354
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1355
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1357
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1358
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1359
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1361
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1362
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1363
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1364
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1365
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1366
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1367
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1368
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1369
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
1373
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
1376
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
1380
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
1381
(LukÔŔ Lalinský, #133782)
1383
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
1385
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1387
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1388
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1390
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
1392
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1393
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
1395
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
1396
committer/author has only e-mail. (LukÔŔ Lalinský, #157026)
1400
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
1401
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
1404
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
1405
---------------------
1407
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1409
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1410
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1411
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1412
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1414
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1415
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1417
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1418
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1420
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1421
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1422
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1423
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1424
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1425
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1426
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1427
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1428
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1429
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1430
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1431
from any tree without problems.
1432
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
1436
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1437
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1438
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1440
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
1441
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
1442
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
1447
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
1448
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
1449
supported transports.
1452
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
1453
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
1454
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
1456
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1457
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1459
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
1460
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
1461
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
1462
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
1464
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
1465
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
1469
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
1470
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
1471
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
1472
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1474
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
1475
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
1476
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
1477
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
1479
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
1480
(Robert Collins, #88319)
1482
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
1483
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
1485
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1486
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1488
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1489
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1494
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1497
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1498
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1501
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1502
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1503
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1504
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1506
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1507
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1508
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1509
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
1515
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
1516
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
1518
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
1519
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
1521
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
1522
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
1524
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
1525
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
1527
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
1528
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
1530
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
1531
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
1533
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
1534
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
1536
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
1539
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
1540
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
1542
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
1543
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
1544
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
1546
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
1547
(LukÔŔ Lalinský, #172598)
1549
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
1550
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
1552
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
1553
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
1555
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
1556
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
1558
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
1559
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
1560
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
1561
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
1563
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1565
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
1566
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1567
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
1569
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
1570
(Robert Collins, #161240)
1572
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
1574
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1576
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1577
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1579
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1580
specify a port in urls.
1581
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1583
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
1584
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
1586
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
1587
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
1589
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
1590
(Aaron Bentley, LukÔŔ Lalinský, #136890)
1592
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
1593
(Robert Collins, #153789)
1595
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
1596
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
1597
(Robert Collins, #165304).
1599
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
1601
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
1602
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
1604
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
1607
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
1608
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
1610
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
1611
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
1613
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
1614
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
1615
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
1617
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
1618
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
1620
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
1621
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
1622
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
1623
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
1625
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
1626
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
1628
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
1629
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
1630
replaced by '?'. (LukÔŔ Lalinský, #151844)
1632
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
1633
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
1635
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
1636
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
1638
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
1639
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
1643
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
1644
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
1646
* The return value of
1647
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
1648
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
1649
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
1650
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
1652
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
1655
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
1656
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
1662
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
1663
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
1664
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
1667
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
1668
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
1670
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
1680
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
1683
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
1684
----------------------
1686
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1690
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
1691
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
1693
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
1694
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
1695
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
1696
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
1697
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
1698
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
1699
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
1700
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
1701
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
1702
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
1703
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
1704
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
1709
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
1710
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
1711
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
1712
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
1713
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
1714
for further details. (Robert Collins)
1716
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
1717
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
1718
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
1721
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
1723
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
1724
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
1726
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
1727
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
1730
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
1731
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
1732
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
1736
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
1737
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1739
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
1740
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
1742
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
1743
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
1744
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
1745
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
1747
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
1750
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
1751
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
1752
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
1753
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
1755
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
1756
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
1758
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
1759
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1761
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
1762
the contents. (Robert Collins)
1764
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
1765
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
1769
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
1770
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
1772
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
1773
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
1775
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
1776
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
1778
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
1779
(Martin Pool, #63894)
1781
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
1782
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
1786
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
1788
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
1793
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
1794
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
1795
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
1797
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
1798
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
1800
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
1801
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
1803
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
1804
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
1805
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
1806
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
1808
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
1809
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
1810
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
1811
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
1812
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
1814
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
1815
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
1817
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
1819
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1821
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
1822
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
1824
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
1825
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
1827
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
1828
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
1830
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
1831
contains a symbolic link.
1832
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
1834
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
1835
(James Westby, #140615)
1837
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
1838
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
1839
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
1841
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
1842
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
1843
(Martin Pool, #144633)
1845
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1847
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
1848
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
1850
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
1852
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
1854
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
1855
directory to detect leaking tests.
1856
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
1858
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
1859
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
1860
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
1862
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
1865
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
1866
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
1868
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
1873
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
1874
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
1876
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
1877
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
1878
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
1880
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
1881
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
1882
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
1884
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
1885
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
1887
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
1888
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
1890
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
1891
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
1894
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
1895
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
1897
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
1898
class that needs it.
1901
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
1902
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
1904
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
1905
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
1906
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
1908
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
1909
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
1910
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
1913
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
1914
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
1915
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
1916
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
1921
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1922
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1923
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1925
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1926
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1927
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1928
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1930
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1931
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1934
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1935
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1936
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1938
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1939
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1940
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1942
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1943
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1945
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1946
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1947
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1949
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1950
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1952
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1953
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1954
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1956
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1957
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1958
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1960
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1961
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1962
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1963
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1965
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1966
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1967
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1968
returned. (Robert Collins)
1970
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1971
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1973
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1974
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1975
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1976
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1979
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1980
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1984
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1985
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1987
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1988
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1989
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1990
makes this behavior available to other users.
1993
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1994
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
2002
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2003
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2004
(LukÔŔ Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2006
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2008
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2009
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2010
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2011
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2013
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2014
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
2018
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
2019
----------------------
2021
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
2022
in bzrlib/remote.py.
2025
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
2026
----------------------
2030
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
2031
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
2032
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
2033
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
2036
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
2037
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
2038
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
2043
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
2044
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
2045
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
2048
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
2049
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
2050
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
2052
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2053
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2054
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2056
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2057
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2059
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
2060
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
2061
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
2062
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
2063
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
2064
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
2065
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
2066
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
2067
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
2068
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
2070
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2071
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2073
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
2074
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
2075
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2079
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2080
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2082
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
2083
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
2084
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
2086
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2087
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2089
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2090
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2092
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2095
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2096
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2098
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2099
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2101
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2102
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (LukÔŔ Lalinský)
2104
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2105
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2107
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2109
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2112
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
2113
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
2114
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
2115
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
2117
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (LukÔŔ Lalinský)
2119
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
2120
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
2123
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2124
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2126
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2127
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2130
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2131
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2133
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2134
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2136
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
2137
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
2138
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
2139
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
2140
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
2141
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
2142
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
2144
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2145
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2147
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2148
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2150
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2151
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2153
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2154
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2156
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2158
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2160
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2161
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (LukÔŔ Lalinský, #93947)
2163
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
2164
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
2165
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
2167
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2168
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2169
(LukÔŔ Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2173
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2174
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2176
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2179
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2182
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2183
(Aaron Bentley, LukÔŔ Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2185
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2187
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2188
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2190
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2191
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2193
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
2194
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
2195
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
2196
space). (Robert Collins)
2198
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2199
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2202
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2203
changes in one revision. (LukÔŔ Lalinský)
2205
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2206
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2208
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
2209
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
2210
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
2211
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
2213
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
2214
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
2215
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
2218
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
2221
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
2222
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
2223
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
2225
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
2226
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
2227
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
2228
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
2229
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
2233
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
2234
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2236
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
2237
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
2238
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
2239
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
2240
affected. (Robert Collins)
2242
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
2243
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
2244
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
2247
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2248
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2252
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
2253
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
2255
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
2256
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2258
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2259
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2261
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
2264
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
2265
non-ASCII committer names. (LukÔŔ Lalinský)
2269
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
2270
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
2271
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
2272
its version information. (Robert Collins)
2274
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
2275
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2277
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
2278
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
2279
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
2280
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2282
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
2283
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
2284
present. (Robert Collins)
2286
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
2287
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
2288
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
2289
API. (Robert Collins)
2291
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
2292
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
2295
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
2296
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
2298
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
2299
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
2300
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
2301
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
2302
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
2303
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
2305
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
2306
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
2307
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
2309
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
2310
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
2311
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
2312
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
2315
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
2318
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
2319
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
2320
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
2321
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
2322
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
2323
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
2324
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
2326
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
2327
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
2328
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
2329
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
2331
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
2332
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
2333
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
2334
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
2335
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
2336
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
2338
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
2339
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
2340
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
2342
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
2343
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2351
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2352
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2353
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2354
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2355
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2356
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2357
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
2358
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
2363
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2364
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2365
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
2368
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
2369
----------------------
2373
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2374
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2375
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2376
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2377
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2379
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2380
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2382
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2384
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2386
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2387
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2390
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2391
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2394
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2397
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2398
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2400
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2401
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2403
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2404
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2406
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2407
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2409
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2410
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2412
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2417
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2418
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2420
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2421
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2423
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2424
the repository (Robert Collins)
2426
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2427
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2428
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2429
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2430
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2432
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2433
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2435
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2436
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2437
(John Arbash Meinel)
2439
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2440
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2441
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2443
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2444
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2445
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2446
(John Arbash Meinel)
2448
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2449
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2452
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2453
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2455
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2458
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2460
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2462
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2463
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2465
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2466
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2469
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2470
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2471
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2472
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2474
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2475
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
2476
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
2478
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
2479
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
2480
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
2482
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2483
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2485
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2486
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2487
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2488
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2489
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2490
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2493
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2494
(Alexander Belchenko)
2496
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2497
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2499
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2500
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2502
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2504
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2505
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2509
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2510
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2511
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2512
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2514
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2516
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2519
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2520
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2521
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2522
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2523
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2524
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2528
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2529
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2530
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2531
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2533
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2534
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2535
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2536
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2537
tests have been refactored too.
2540
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2541
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2542
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2546
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2547
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2548
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2550
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2551
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2552
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2553
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2554
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2555
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2556
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2558
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2559
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2560
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2561
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2562
(John Arbash Meinel)
2564
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2565
functionality for testing.
2567
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2569
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2570
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2572
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2574
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2577
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2578
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2580
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2581
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2582
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2584
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2587
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2588
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2590
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2591
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2592
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2593
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2595
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2596
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2598
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2599
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2600
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2602
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2605
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2606
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2607
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2608
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2609
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
2610
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2612
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
2613
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
2614
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
2615
many files. (Robert Collins)
2617
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
2618
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
2619
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
2620
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
2624
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
2625
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
2626
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
2628
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
2629
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
2631
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
2632
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
2633
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2637
--------------------
2641
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
2644
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
2645
-----------------------
2649
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
2650
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
2652
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
2653
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
2654
(James Westby, #122656)
2656
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
2657
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
2659
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
2660
authentication header.
2661
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
2663
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
2665
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
2666
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
2668
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
2670
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
2671
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
2673
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
2674
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
2675
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
2677
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
2678
individually and as part of revision ranges.
2679
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
2681
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
2682
(Martin Pool, #109169)
2684
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
2685
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
2687
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
2688
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
2690
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2692
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
2696
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
2697
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
2698
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
2699
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
2700
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
2701
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
2703
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
2704
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
2705
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
2707
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
2710
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
2711
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
2713
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
2714
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
2716
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
2717
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
2719
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
2720
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
2721
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
2722
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
2723
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
2725
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
2726
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
2728
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
2729
can be slow it is useful feedback).
2730
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
2732
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
2733
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
2735
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
2737
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
2738
output. (Aaron Bentley)
2740
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
2741
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
2744
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
2747
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
2748
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
2750
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
2751
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
2753
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
2754
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
2756
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
2758
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
2759
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
2761
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
2766
* Testing cleanups -
2767
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2768
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
2769
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2770
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
2771
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2772
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
2773
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2774
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
2775
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2776
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
2777
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
2778
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
2779
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2780
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
2781
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2782
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
2783
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
2786
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
2788
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
2789
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
2790
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
2792
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
2793
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
2795
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
2796
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2798
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
2800
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
2801
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
2802
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
2803
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
2804
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
2805
same location. (Robert Collins)
2809
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
2811
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
2813
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
2815
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
2818
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
2821
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
2822
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
2823
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
2825
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
2827
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
2828
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
2829
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
2831
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
2832
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
2834
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
2835
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
2836
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
2838
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
2839
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
2840
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
2842
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
2843
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
2844
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
2846
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
2847
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
2850
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
2851
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
2853
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
2854
(Alexander Belchenko)
2858
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
2859
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
2860
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
2861
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2863
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
2864
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
2865
testing. (Robert Collins)
2867
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
2868
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
2870
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
2871
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
2872
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
2873
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
2874
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
2875
attribute during the test parameterisation in
2876
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
2878
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
2879
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
2880
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
2881
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
2883
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
2884
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
2886
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
2887
avoid useless cloning.
2888
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
2892
--------------------
2896
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
2897
(Colin Watson, #120647)

* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.

-----------------------
2906
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2908
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
2909
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
2910
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
2911
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
2912
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
2913
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
2914
and unlock() like so::
2916
work_tree.lock_read()
2918
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
2923
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
2924
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
2926
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
2927
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
2928
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
2930
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2931
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2932
too. (Robert Collins)
2936
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
2937
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
2940
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
2941
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
2943
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
2944
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
2946
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
2947
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
2948
understanding what changes have occurred
2949
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
2951
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
2952
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
2953
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2955
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
2956
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
2957
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
2958
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2960
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2965
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
2966
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
2967
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
2968
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
2969
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
2971
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2972
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2973
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2975
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
2976
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
2978
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
2980
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2982
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2983
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2985
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2986
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2988
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2989
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2991
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2992
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2994
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2995
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2997
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2998
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2999
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
3002
--------------------
3006
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3007
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3008
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3009
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3010
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3012
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3013
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3014
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3016
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3017
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3021
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3022
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3023
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3025
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3026
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3027
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3028
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
3030
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
3031
-----------------------
3035
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
3036
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
3037
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
3038
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
3040
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
3041
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
3042
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
3044
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
3045
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
3047
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
3048
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
3050
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
3051
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
3053
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
3054
-----------------------
3056
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3058
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
3059
it could be recovered again.
3060
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
3061
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
3062
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
3064
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
3066
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
3067
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
3071
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
3072
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
3074
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
3075
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
3076
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
3077
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
3079
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
3080
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
3082
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
3083
tests with names that match that regular expression.
3084
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
3086
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
3087
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
3088
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
3090
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
3091
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
3092
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
3094
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
3095
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
3098
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
3101
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
3102
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
3103
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
3104
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
3106
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
3109
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
3110
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
3111
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
3114
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
3115
(Erik BƄgfors, Alexander Belchenko)
3117
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
3118
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
3120
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
3121
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
3122
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
3123
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
3126
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
3127
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
3129
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
3130
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3132
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
3133
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
3134
(Robert Collins, #107125).
3136
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
3137
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
3138
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
3140
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
3141
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
3142
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3144
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
3145
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
3146
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
3147
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
3149
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
3150
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
3151
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
3152
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
3154
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
3155
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
3156
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
3157
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
3158
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
3159
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
3160
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
3161
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
3167
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
3168
code paths. (Robert Collins)
3170
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
3171
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
3172
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
3173
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
3174
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3176
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
3177
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
3179
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
3180
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
3182
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
3183
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
3185
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
3186
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
3188
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
3189
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
3190
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
3193
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
3194
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
3195
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
3196
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
3197
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
3200
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
3201
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
3202
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
3204
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
3205
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
3208
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
3209
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
3210
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
3213
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
3214
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
3215
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
3216
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
3217
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
3219
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
3220
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
3221
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
3222
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3224
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
3225
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3227
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
3228
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
3229
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
3230
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
3231
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
3232
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
3234
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
3235
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
3237
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
3238
help. (Robert Collins)
3240
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
3241
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3243
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
3244
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
3245
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
3246
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
3247
(John Arbash Meinel)
3249
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
3250
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
3251
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
3252
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
3253
useful. (Robert Collins)
3255
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
3260
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
3261
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
3263
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
3264
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
3266
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
3267
properly and is no longer beneficial.
3268
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
3270
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
3273
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
3274
the file, and does it faster.
3275
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
3277
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
3278
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
3279
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
3281
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
3282
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
3283
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
3284
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
3286
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
3287
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
3288
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
3289
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
3291
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
3292
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
3294
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
3295
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
3296
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
3297
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
3300
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
3302
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
3303
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
3305
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
3306
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
3308
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
3309
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
3310
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
3311
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
3315
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3316
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3320
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3321
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3322
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3324
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3325
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3327
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3328
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3329
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3330
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3331
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3332
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3333
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3334
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3336
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3337
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3338
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3340
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3341
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3342
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
3343
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
3344
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3346
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3348
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3349
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3350
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3352
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3353
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
3361
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
3364
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
3365
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
3368
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
3369
-----------------------
3373
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
3374
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
3379
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3380
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3381
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3382
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3383
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3384
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3385
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3386
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3391
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3392
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3393
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3395
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3396
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3399
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3400
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3401
(John Arbash Meinel)
3403
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3404
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3405
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3406
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3407
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3411
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3414
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3415
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3417
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3418
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3420
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3421
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3422
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3424
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3425
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3427
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3428
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3429
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3430
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3431
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3433
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3434
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3435
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3437
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
3440
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
3441
-----------------------
3443
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3445
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3446
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3447
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3451
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3452
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3454
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3455
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3457
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3459
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3460
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3462
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3463
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3467
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3472
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3473
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3474
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3475
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3477
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3478
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3480
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3481
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3483
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3486
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
3487
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
3490
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
3491
-----------------------
3495
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
3496
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
3497
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
3498
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
3499
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
3500
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
3502
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
3503
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
3504
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
3505
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
3506
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
3507
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
3509
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3511
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
3512
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
3513
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
3514
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
3515
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
3516
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
3517
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
3518
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3522
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3523
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3525
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
3526
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
3527
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
3528
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
3530
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
3531
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
3532
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
3533
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
3534
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
3536
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
3539
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3542
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3545
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3546
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3549
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3552
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3553
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3555
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3556
directory. (Martin Pool)
3558
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3559
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3560
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3561
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3563
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3564
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3565
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3566
in docs/configuration.txt.
3568
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3569
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
3572
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
3573
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
3574
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
3575
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
3576
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
3577
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3579
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3580
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3582
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3583
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3585
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
3590
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
3591
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
3592
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
3593
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
3594
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
3595
(John Arbash Meinel)
3597
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
3598
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
3601
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
3602
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
3603
(John Arbash Meinel)
3605
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
3606
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
3607
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
3608
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
3609
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
3610
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
3612
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
3613
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
3614
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
3616
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
3617
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
3618
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
3619
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
3621
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3623
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
3624
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
3625
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
3626
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
3628
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
3629
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
3630
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
3631
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
3633
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
3634
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
3635
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
3637
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
3638
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
3639
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
3641
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
3642
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
3643
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
3644
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
3646
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
3647
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
3648
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
3650
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
3651
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
3652
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
3654
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
3655
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
3656
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
3657
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
3658
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
3659
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
3660
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
3661
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
3662
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
3663
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
3664
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
3668
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
3669
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
3670
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
3672
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
3675
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
3676
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
3677
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
3678
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
3680
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
3681
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
3684
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
3685
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
3687
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
3689
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
3690
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
3691
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
3693
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
3694
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
3696
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
3697
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
3699
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
3700
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
3702
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
3703
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
3705
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
3707
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
3708
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
3712
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
3713
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
3717
--------------------
3721
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
3725
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
3726
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
3727
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
3729
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
3730
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
3731
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
3734
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
3735
-----------------------
3739
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
3740
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
3741
server, then you can write over the http connection.
3742
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3744
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
3747
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
3748
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
3749
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3751
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
3752
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
3754
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
3757
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
3758
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
3759
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
3760
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
3761
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
3762
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
3764
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
3765
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
3766
should enable you to do::
3768
[/home/user/project]
3769
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
3770
push_location:policy = appendpath
3772
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
3773
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
3776
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
3777
for each file. For example::
3779
$ bzr status --short
3785
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
3786
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
3788
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
3790
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
3791
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
3793
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
3797
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
3798
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
3799
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
3800
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
3802
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
3803
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
3804
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
3806
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3808
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
3809
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
3810
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
3811
(Alexander Belchenko)
3813
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
3816
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
3817
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
3819
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
3823
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
3824
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
3826
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
3827
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
3828
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
3829
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
3830
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
3832
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
3833
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
3835
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
3836
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
3838
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
3840
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
3842
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
3843
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
3844
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
3845
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
3846
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
3848
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
3849
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
3850
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
3851
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
3853
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
3854
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
3856
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
3857
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
3859
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
3860
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
3862
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
3863
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
3867
--------------------
3869
No changes from 0.13rc1
3871
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
3872
-----------------------
3876
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
3878
(Daniel Silverstone)
3880
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
3881
operations are substantially faster.
3882
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
3884
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
3885
tree from some other url. For example:
3886
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
3887
(Daniel Silverstone)
3889
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
3890
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
3891
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
3892
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
3894
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
3897
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
3898
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
3899
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
3900
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
3901
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
3902
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
3906
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
3907
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
3910
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3911
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3912
(John Arbash Meinel)
3914
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
3915
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
3916
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
3917
(John Arbash Meinel)
3919
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
3920
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3922
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3923
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3925
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3926
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3931
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
3932
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
3933
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
3935
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
3936
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
3937
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
3938
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
3940
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3942
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3943
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3945
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3946
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3947
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
3948
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3950
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3951
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3952
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3954
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3955
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3956
them as full references rather than integers.
3957
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3959
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3960
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3962
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3964
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3965
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3967
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3968
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3970
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3971
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3972
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3973
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3975
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3976
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3977
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3979
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3980
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3982
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3983
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3984
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3985
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3986
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3990
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3991
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
3994
--------------------
3998
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3999
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4000
(John Arbash Meinel)
4002
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
4003
-----------------------
4007
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4008
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4009
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4010
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4012
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4013
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4015
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4017
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4018
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4019
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4020
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4022
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4023
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4024
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4025
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4026
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4028
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4030
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4031
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4035
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4036
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4037
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4039
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4040
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4041
(John Arbash Meinel)
4043
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4044
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4045
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4047
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4048
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4051
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4052
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4053
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4055
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4056
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4057
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4058
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4059
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4060
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4062
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4063
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4064
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4067
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4068
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4072
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4073
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4074
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4077
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4078
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
4080
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4081
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4082
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4084
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4085
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4087
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4088
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4089
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4090
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4092
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4093
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4095
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4096
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4097
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4099
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4100
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4102
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4104
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4105
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4110
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4111
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4112
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4113
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4115
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4116
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4117
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4120
--------------------
4122
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (LukÔŔ Lalinský).
4124
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
4125
-----------------------
4129
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
4131
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
4134
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
4135
-----------------------
4139
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
4140
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
4141
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
4142
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
4143
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
4144
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
4145
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
4147
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
4148
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
4149
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
4151
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
4153
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
4154
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
4156
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
4157
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
4158
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
4161
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
4162
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
4163
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
4164
(John Arbash Meinel)
4166
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
4167
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
4168
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
4169
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
4172
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
4173
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
4174
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
4175
(John Arbash Meinel)
4179
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
4180
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
4182
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
4184
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
4185
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
4186
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
4188
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
4189
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
4191
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
4192
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
4194
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
4195
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
4197
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
4198
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
4200
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
4202
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
4203
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
4205
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
4206
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
4208
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
4209
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
4211
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
4212
(John Arbash Meinel)
4214
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
4215
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
4216
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
4218
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
4219
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4221
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
4222
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
4223
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
4224
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
4226
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
4227
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
4228
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
4230
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
4231
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
4235
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
4239
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
4240
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
4241
(John Arbash Meinel)
4243
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
4244
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
4245
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
4246
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4248
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
4251
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
4252
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
4253
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
4255
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
4256
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
4258
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
4259
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
4260
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
4262
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
4263
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
4264
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
4265
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
4266
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
4267
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
4268
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
4269
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
4270
caller to repeat their request.
4271
(John Arbash Meinel)
4273
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
4274
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
4276
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
4277
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
4279
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
4280
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
4281
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
4282
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
4283
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
4284
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
4285
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
4287
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
4288
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
4289
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
4290
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
4291
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
4292
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
4293
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
4294
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
4297
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
4298
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
4299
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
4301
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
4302
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
4304
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
4305
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
4307
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
4308
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4312
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
4313
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
4315
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
4316
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
4317
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4319
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
4320
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
4321
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4324
--------------------
4327
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
4328
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4330
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
4331
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
4332
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
4333
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
4334
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
4336
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
4337
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
4338
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
4340
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
4341
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
4343
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
4344
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
4345
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4349
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
4351
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
4352
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
4353
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
4355
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
4357
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
4359
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
4360
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
4361
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
4362
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
4364
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
4365
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
4366
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
4367
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
4368
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
4370
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
4371
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
4373
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
4374
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
4376
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
4377
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
4379
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
4380
in handling of revision properties.
4381
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
4383
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
4384
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
4388
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
4389
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
4390
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
4391
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
4392
(John Arbash Meinel)
4394
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
4395
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
4396
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4398
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4399
---------------------
4403
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
4404
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
4405
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
4406
specific one '.bzrignore'.
4407
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
4408
a more conservative list than the old default.
4409
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
4410
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
4411
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
4412
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
4414
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4415
to more locations than just branch locations.
4420
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
4421
revno:N:branch. For example,
4422
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
4423
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4425
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
4426
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
4427
the path of a file that has been versioned.
4428
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
4429
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
4430
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
4431
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
4432
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
4435
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
4436
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
4437
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
4440
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
4441
(Alexander Belchenko)
4443
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
4445
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
4448
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
4449
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
4450
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
4451
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
4452
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
4453
(John Arbash Meinel)
4455
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
4456
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
4457
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
4458
grained analysis of performance.
4459
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4461
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
4462
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
4464
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
4465
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
4466
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
4467
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
4468
file. (Robert Collins).
4470
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
4471
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
4472
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
4474
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
4475
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
4478
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
4479
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
4481
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
4482
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
4483
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
4484
the same way you would apply another branch.
4485
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4487
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
4488
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
4490
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
4493
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
4496
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
4497
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
4498
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
4500
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
4501
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
4502
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
4504
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
4505
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
4507
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
4508
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
4509
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
4510
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
4511
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
4513
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
4514
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
4516
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
4517
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
4518
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
4519
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
4520
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
4521
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
4522
branch is as much as 4x faster.
4523
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
4525
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
4526
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
4527
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
4531
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4533
(Erik BƄgfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4535
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4536
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4538
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4539
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4541
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4542
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4544
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4546
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4547
(John Arbash Meinel)
4549
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4550
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4552
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4553
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4556
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4557
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4559
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4560
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4562
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4563
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4564
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4565
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4567
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4568
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4570
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4572
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4573
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4575
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4577
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4579
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4580
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4582
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4583
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4585
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4586
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4587
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4589
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4590
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4591
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4593
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4594
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4596
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4597
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4599
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4600
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4602
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4603
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4605
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4606
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
4608
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
4609
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
4610
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
4612
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
4614
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
4615
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
4619
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
4620
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
4621
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
4623
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
4624
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
4626
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
4627
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
4628
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4630
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
4631
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4633
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
4634
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
4637
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
4638
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
4639
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4641
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
4642
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
4643
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4645
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
4646
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
4647
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
4649
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
4650
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
4651
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
4653
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
4654
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
4655
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
4657
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
4658
instead. (Robert Collins)
4660
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
4662
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
4663
---------------------
4667
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
4669
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
4670
---------------------
4674
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
4675
Robert Collins, Erik BƄgfors, #43959)
4677
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
4678
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4680
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
4681
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
4682
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
4686
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
4688
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
4689
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
4691
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
4695
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
4696
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
4697
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
4698
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
4702
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
4703
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
4704
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
4708
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
4709
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
4710
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4714
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
4715
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
4720
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4722
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
4723
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
4724
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
4725
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
4726
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
4727
will keep the same format.
4729
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
4730
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
4731
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
4732
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
4733
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
4735
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
4736
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
4737
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
4738
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
4739
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
4740
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
4741
indicating the current revision of the branch.
4743
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
4744
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
4745
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
4746
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
4747
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
4749
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
4750
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
4751
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
4757
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
4758
convention. Paths now take the form::
4760
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
4762
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
4764
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
4765
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
4767
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
4768
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
4769
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
4771
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
4772
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
4773
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
4774
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
4776
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
4777
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
4778
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
4780
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik BƄgfors)
4782
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik BƄgfors)
4784
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
4785
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
4788
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
4789
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
4792
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
4794
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
4795
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
4796
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
4799
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
4801
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
4803
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
4806
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
4807
their own formatters. (Erik BƄgfors)
4809
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
4810
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
4813
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
4814
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
4817
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
4819
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
4821
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
4822
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik BƄgfors, Robert Collins)
4824
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
4825
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
4826
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
4827
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
4828
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
4829
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
4831
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
4833
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
4834
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
4837
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
4838
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
4840
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
4841
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
4843
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
4845
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
4846
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
4847
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
4848
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
4849
specification by Martin Pool.
4850
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
4852
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
4855
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
4856
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4858
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
4859
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
4860
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
4862
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
4864
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
4865
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
4870
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
4871
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4873
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
4875
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
4877
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
4880
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
4881
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
4882
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
4883
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
4887
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
4888
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
4889
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
4890
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4892
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
4893
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
4894
tried. (Martin Pool)
4896
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
4899
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
4901
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
4902
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
4903
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
4905
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
4906
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
4908
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
4909
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
4910
paths. (Robert Collins)
4912
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
4913
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
4914
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
4916
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
4917
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
4918
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
4920
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4921
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4922
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4924
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4927
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4930
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4932
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4934
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
4935
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
4936
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
4939
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4940
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4942
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
4943
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
4944
check. (Robert Collins)
4946
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4947
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4951
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4952
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4954
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4955
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4956
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4957
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4959
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4960
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4961
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4962
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4963
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4965
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4966
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4967
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4969
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4971
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4972
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
4979
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4980
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4982
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4983
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4984
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4987
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4988
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4990
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4991
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4992
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4993
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4994
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4996
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4997
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4998
used. (Robert Collins)
5000
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5001
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5004
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5005
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5006
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5008
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5011
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5012
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
5016
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5017
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5019
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5021
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5023
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5024
tree. (Robert Collins)
5026
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
5027
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
5028
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
5031
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
5034
* Tweaks to short log printing
5036
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
5039
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
5040
occurs. (Martin Pool)
5042
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
5043
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
5045
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
5046
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5048
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5049
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5050
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5052
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5053
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5055
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5056
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5059
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5060
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5062
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5063
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5065
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5066
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5068
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5071
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5072
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5074
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5075
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5077
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5078
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5079
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
5083
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
5085
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5087
* Error when run with -OO
5089
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
5092
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5094
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5096
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5097
ignored by diff and status
5099
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5100
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5102
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5104
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5106
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5107
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5109
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5110
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5112
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5115
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5116
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5118
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5120
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5121
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5123
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5126
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5127
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5129
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5133
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5134
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5136
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5138
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5140
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5142
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5143
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5144
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5146
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5148
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5149
(John Arbash Meinel)
5151
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5153
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5154
If adding a new test script please add that to
5155
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5157
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5158
imported. (Martin Pool)
5160
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5161
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5162
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5163
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5164
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5167
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5168
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5169
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5171
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5172
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5173
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5175
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5176
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5177
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5178
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5179
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5182
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5183
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5188
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5189
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5191
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5192
function. (Robert Collins)
5194
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5195
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5196
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5198
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5199
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5202
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5203
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5204
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5205
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5206
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5207
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5208
version. (Robert Collins)
5210
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5211
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5213
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5214
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5215
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5216
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5217
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5218
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5220
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5223
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5233
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5235
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5237
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5240
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5241
query method. (Robert Collins)
5243
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5246
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5249
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5252
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5253
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5254
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5255
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5257
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5258
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5259
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5260
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5262
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5263
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
5270
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
5273
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
5277
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
5278
a separator, not ':'.
5281
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
5282
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
5283
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
5285
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
5286
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
5289
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
5290
has been added that suppresses all output.
5292
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
5295
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
5296
Goffredo Baroncelli.
5298
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
5299
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
5301
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
5302
a revision. (Robert Collins)
5304
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
5305
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
5306
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
5307
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
5309
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
5311
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
5312
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
5314
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
5315
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
5317
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
5318
output directory, if one was supplied.
5320
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
5321
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
5322
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
5323
parameters. (Robert Collins)
5325
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
5327
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
5328
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
5330
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
5331
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
5332
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
5334
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
5335
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
5337
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
5340
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
5342
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
5346
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
5347
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
5348
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
5350
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
5351
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
5352
related questions. (Robert Collins)
5354
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
5355
is given. (Martin Pool)
5357
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
5358
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
5359
file. (Robert Collins)
5361
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
5366
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
5367
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
5368
representation. (Martin Pool).
5370
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
5371
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
5372
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
5374
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5377
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
5378
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
5381
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5382
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
5383
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5384
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5385
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5387
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5388
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5389
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5390
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5391
python path. (Robert Collins)
5393
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5394
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5395
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5396
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5398
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5399
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5401
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5402
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5405
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5406
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5407
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5409
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5410
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5411
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5413
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5414
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5416
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5417
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5418
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5421
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5422
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5423
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5424
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5427
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5430
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5431
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5434
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
5435
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
5436
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
5438
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
5439
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
5440
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
5442
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
5443
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
5444
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
5446
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5447
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5449
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
5450
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
5451
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
5452
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
5453
caller. (Robert Collins)
5455
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
5456
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
5459
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
5460
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
5463
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
5465
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
5466
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
5470
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
5471
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
5473
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
5474
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
5477
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
5478
--------------------
5482
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
5483
allow directories to be listed.
5485
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
5486
upgrading branch format.
5490
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
5498
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
5499
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
5500
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
5501
high-latency connections.
5505
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
5508
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
5509
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
5511
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
5512
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
5513
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
5514
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5516
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5517
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5519
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5520
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5522
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
5523
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
5524
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5526
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
5527
for files with only a change to their executable status.
5528
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
5531
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5532
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5534
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5535
different partial views of history.
5537
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5538
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5542
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5543
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5544
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5546
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5547
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5550
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5551
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5553
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5556
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5557
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5559
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5560
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5561
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5562
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5564
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5566
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5567
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5570
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5571
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5573
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5574
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5575
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5580
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5581
for your viewing pleasure.
5583
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5584
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5586
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5587
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5588
handling of such circumstances.
5590
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
5591
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
5592
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
5594
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5596
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5597
we call them revisions not patches.
5599
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5600
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5602
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
5603
giving the revision *of that file*.
5605
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
5606
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
5607
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
5611
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
5612
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
5614
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
5615
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
5618
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
5619
--------------------
5623
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
5625
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
5628
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
5630
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
5632
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
5633
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5637
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
5638
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
5640
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
5641
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
5642
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
5643
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
5646
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
5647
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5651
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
5653
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
5654
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
5657
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
5658
--------------------
5662
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
5663
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
5664
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
5665
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
5668
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
5671
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
5672
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
5673
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
5674
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
5675
for the operating system is still tried.
5677
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
5678
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
5679
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
5684
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
5688
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
5690
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
5693
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
5699
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
5701
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
5704
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
5705
--------------------
5709
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
5710
help with intelligent shell completion.
5712
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
5717
* Much better merge support.
5719
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
5720
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
5726
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
5727
mention revisions that are not present.
5729
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
5731
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
5733
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
5734
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
5739
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
5741
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
5742
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
5748
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
5749
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
5754
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
5755
--------------------
5759
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
5760
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
5762
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
5764
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
5765
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
5767
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
5770
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
5772
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
5775
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
5776
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
5778
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
5779
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
5780
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
5785
* Faster working tree operations.
5790
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
5791
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
5792
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
5793
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
5795
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
5796
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
5797
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
5798
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
5799
standard plugins directory.
5801
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
5802
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
5803
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
5804
option. Patch from William DodƩ and John Meinel.
5806
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
5807
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
5809
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
5812
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
5813
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
5814
``-l`` option, patched by William DodƩ.
5816
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
5817
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
5819
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
5820
line options must come before the command name because they
5821
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
5822
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
5825
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
5827
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
5828
is available with ``--short``.
5833
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
5836
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
5837
---------------------
5841
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
5842
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5844
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
5845
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
5846
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
5847
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
5849
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
5850
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
5851
with the ``--forward`` option.
5853
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
5854
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
5860
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
5861
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
5863
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
5865
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
5866
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
5868
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
5870
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
5871
either read or write mode.
5873
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
5875
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
5878
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
5880
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
5881
suggested by LarstiQ.
5883
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
5884
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
5886
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
5889
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
5890
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
5892
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
5893
haven't changed since the previous time.
5895
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
5896
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
5898
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
5900
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
5902
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
5903
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
5905
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
5906
options through to an external GNU diff.
5908
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
5911
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
5917
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
5918
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
5920
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
5926
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
5927
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
5930
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
5931
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
5933
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
5934
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
5936
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
5937
under a different version.
5939
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
5944
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
5946
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
5947
Scott James Remnant.
5949
* Better help messages for many commands.
5951
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
5952
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
5954
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
5955
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
5957
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
5959
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
5961
* New AtomicFile class.
5963
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
5968
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
5969
2.4 is now only recommended.
5972
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
5973
---------------------
5977
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
5978
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
5980
* More default ignore patterns.
5982
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
5983
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
5985
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
5987
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
5990
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
5995
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
5996
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
5997
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
5998
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
5999
there are DNS problems.
6001
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
6006
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
6008
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
6010
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
6011
trailing newlines properly.
6016
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
6019
* More tests in test.sh.
6021
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
6022
directory and delete it when done.
6024
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
6029
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
6032
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
6036
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
6037
---------------------
6041
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
6044
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
6046
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
6049
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
6052
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
6054
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
6058
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
6059
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
6064
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
6065
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
6070
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
6074
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
6082
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
6085
bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
6086
-----------------------------------
6090
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
6092
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
6093
rather than replacing it.
6095
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
6099
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
6102
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
6103
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
6105
* Performance improvements.
6107
* New global --profile option.
6109
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
6110
the root directory only.
6113
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
6114
---------------------
6118
* More information from info command.
6120
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
6122
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
6123
committing to stores.
6125
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
6129
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
6133
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
6134
installation easier.
6136
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
6140
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
6141
------------------------
6145
* First public release.
6147
* Storage of local versions: init, add, remove, rm, info, log,
