bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
9
-----------------------
10
11
12
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
13
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
14
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
15
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
16
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
17
and future extensions.
18
19
20
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
21
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)
30
31
CHANGES:
32
33
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
34
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
35
(John Arbash Meinel)
36
37
FEATURES:
38
39
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
40
load. (James Westby)
41
42
IMPROVEMENTS:
43
44
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
45
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
46
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
47
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
48
49
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
50
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
51
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
52
53
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
54
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
55
56
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
57
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
58
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
59
60
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
61
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
62
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
63
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
64
step closer to not using full revision history.
65
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
66
67
BUGFIXES:
68
69
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
70
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
71
72
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
73
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
74
75
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
76
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
77
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
78
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
79
80
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
81
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
82
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
83
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
84
85
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
86
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
87
in use by another process.
88
(Martin Pool)
89
90
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
91
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
92
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
93
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
94
95
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
96
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
97
98
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
99
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
100
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
101
102
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
103
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
104
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
105
106
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
107
them.
108
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
109
110
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
111
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
112
113
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
114
under vim on Mac OS X.
115
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
116
117
DOCUMENTATION:
118
119
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
120
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
121
122
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
123
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
124
(Ian Clatworthy)
125
126
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
127
and about use of Python reprs.
128
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
129
130
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
131
132
TESTING:
133
134
* New helper function for splitting test suites
135
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
136
137
INTERNALS:
138
139
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
140
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
141
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
142
(John Arbash Meinel)
143
144
API CHANGES:
145
146
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
147
instead. (Martin Pool)
148
149
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
150
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
151
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
152
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
153
154
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
155
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
156
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
157
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
158
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
159
160
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
161
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
162
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
163
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
164
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
165
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
166
167
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
168
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
169
(Martin Pool)
170
171
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
172
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
173
(Robert Collins)
174
175
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
176
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
177
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
178
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
179
180
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
181
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
182
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
183
184
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
185
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
186
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
187
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
188
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
189
(Martin Pool)
190
191
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
192
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
193
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
194
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
195
(Robert Collins)
196
197
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
198
(Martin Pool)
199

bzr 1.5 2008-05-16
202
------------------
203
204
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
205
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
206
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
207
208
CHANGES:
209
210
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
211
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
212
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
213
214
DOCUMENTATION:
215
216
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
217
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

bzr 1.5rc1 2008-05-09
222
---------------------
223
224
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
225
226
CHANGES:
227
228
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
229
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
230
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
231
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
232
233
FEATURES:
234
235
IMPROVEMENTS:
236
237
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
238
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
239
240
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
241
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
242
243
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
244
(Aaron Bentley)
245
246
BUGFIXES:
247
248
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
249
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
250
251
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
252
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
253
254
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
255
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
256
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
257
258
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
259
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
260
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
261
262
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
263
(Andreas Deininger)
264
265
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
266
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
267
268
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
269
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
270
271
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
272
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
273
274
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
275
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
276
277
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
278
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
279
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
280
281
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
282
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
283
284
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
285
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
286
287
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
288
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
289
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
290
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
291
292
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
293
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
294
(Martin Pool)
295
296
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
297
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
298
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
299
300
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
301
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
302
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
303
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
304
every revision each side had in common.
305
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
306
307
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
308
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
309
310
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
311
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
312
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
313
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
314
315
DOCUMENTATION:
316
317
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
318
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
319
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
320
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
321
322
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
323
324
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
325
326
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
327
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
328
329
TESTING:
330
331
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
332
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
333
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
334
335
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
336
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
337
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
338
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
339
340
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
341
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
342
343
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
344
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
345
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
346
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
347
348
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
349
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
350
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
351
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
352
353
INTERNALS:
354
355
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
356
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
357
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
358
359
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
360
361
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
362
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
363
364
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
365
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
366
367
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
368
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
369
370
API BREAKS:
371
372
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
373
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
374
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
375
376
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
377
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
378
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
379
(Aaron Bentley)
380
381
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
382
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
383
(Martin Pool)
384
385
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
386
(Martin Pool)

bzr 1.4 2008-04-28
390
------------------
391
392
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
393
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
394
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
395
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
396
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
397
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
398
and faster performance.
399

BUG FIXES:
401
402

415
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
416
417
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
418
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
419
420
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
421
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)

423
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
424

CHANGES:
435
436
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
437
438
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
439
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
440
441
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
442
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
443
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
444
445
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
446
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
447
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
448
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
449
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
450
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
451
Andrew Cowie)
452
453
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
454
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
455
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
456
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
457
458
FEATURES:
459
460
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
461
462
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
463
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
464
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
465
466
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
467
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
468
See the User Reference for signature details.
469
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
470
471
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
472
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
473
474
IMPROVEMENTS:
475
476
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
477
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
478
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
479
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
480
481
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
482
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
483
484
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
485
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
486
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
487
Wouter van Heyst)
488
489
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
490
(Chad Miller)
491
492
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
493
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
494
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
495
496
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
497
(Aaron Bentley)
498
499
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
500
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
501
502
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
503
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
504
505
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
506
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
507
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
508
509
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
510
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
511
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
512
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
513
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
514
515
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
516
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
517
518
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
519
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
520
521
BUGFIXES:
522
523
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
524
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
525
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
526
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
527
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
528
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
529
530
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
531
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
532
533
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
534
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
535
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
536
537
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
538
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
539
540
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
541
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
542
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
543
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
544
545
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
546
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
547
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
548
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
549
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
550
551
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
552
553
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
554
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
555
556
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
557
558
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
559
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
560
561
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
562
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
563
564
DOCUMENTATION:
565
566
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
567
568
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
569
570
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
571
572
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
573
574
API BREAKS:
575
576
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
577
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
578
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
579
580
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
581
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
582
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
583
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
584
585
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
586
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
587
release. (James Westby)
588
589
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
590
(Andrew Bennetts)
591
592
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
593
594
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
595
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
596
597
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
598
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
599
600
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
601
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
602
603
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
604
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
605
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
606
607
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
608
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
609
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
610
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
611
612
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
613
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
614
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
615
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
616
617
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
618
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
619
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
620
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
621
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
622
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
623
624
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
625
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
626
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
627
628
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
629
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
630
631
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
632
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
633
(Robert Collins)
634
635
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
636
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
637
638
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
639
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
640
641
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
642
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
643
644
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
645
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
646
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
647
648
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
649
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
650
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
651
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
652
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
653
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
654
655
TESTING:
656
657
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
658
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
659
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
660
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
661
662
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
663
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
664
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
665
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
666
implement this).
667
(Vincent Ladeuil)
668
669
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
670
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
671
(Vincent Ladeuil)
672
673
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
674
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
675
676
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
677
678
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
679
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
680
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
681
682
INTERNALS:
683
684
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
685
686
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
687
(Martin Albisetti)
688
689
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
690
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
691
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
692
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
693
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
694
(Martin Pool, #109520)
695
696
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
697
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
698
699
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
700
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
701
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
702
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
703
704
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
705
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
706
707
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
708
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.3 2008-03-20
729
------------------
730
731
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
732
733
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
734
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
735
features have been added.
736
737
TESTING:
738
739
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
748
749
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
750
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
751
752
CHANGES:
753
754
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
755
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
756
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
757
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
758
(Robert Collins)
759
760
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
761
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
762
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
763
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
764
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
765
(Alexander Belchenko)
766
767
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
768
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
769
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
770
(Alexander Belchenko)
771
772
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
773
774
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
775
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
776
777
FEATURES:
778
779
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
780
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
781
782
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
783
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
784
(Jelmer Vernooij)
785
786
IMPROVEMENTS:
787
788
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
789
790
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
791
792
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
793
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
794
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
795
796
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
797
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
798
799
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
800
to. (Daniel Watkins)
801
802
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
803
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
804
(Alexander Belchenko)
805
806
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
807
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
808
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
809
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
810
811
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
812
(Daniel Watkins)
813
814
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
815
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
816
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
817
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
818
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
819
820
BUGFIXES:
821
822
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
823
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
824
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
825
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
826
827
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
828
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
829
830
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
831
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
832
833
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
834
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
835
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
836
837
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
838
(#198793, John Ferlito)
839
840
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
841
#196618)
842
843
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
844
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
845
846
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
847
848
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
849
850
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
851
symlinks (James Henstridge)
852
853
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
854
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
855
856
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
857
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
858
859
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
860
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
861
862
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
863
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
864
865
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
866
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
867
868
DOCUMENTATION:
869
870
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.

(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
872
873
API BREAKS:
874
875
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
876
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
877
(Alexander Belchenko)
878
879
TESTING:
880
881
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
882
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
883
(Robert Collins)
884
885
INTERNALS:
886
887
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
888
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
889
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
890
891
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
892
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
893
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
894
(Alexander Belchenko)
895
896
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
897
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
898
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
899
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
900
901
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
902
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
903
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
904
(Robert Collins)
905
906
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
907
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
908
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
909
910
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
911
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
912
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
913
914
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
915
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
916
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
917
format. (Robert Collins)

931
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
932
933
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
934
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
935
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
936
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
937
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
938
(Andrew Bennetts)

CHANGES:
941
942
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
943
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
944
945
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
946
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
947
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
948
949
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
950
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
951
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
952
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
953
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
954
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
955
(Aaron Bentley)
956
957
FEATURES:
958
959
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
960
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
961
962
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
963
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
964
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
965
(Robert Collins)
966
967
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
968
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
969
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
970
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
971
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
972
973
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
974
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
975
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
976
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
977
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
978
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
979
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
980
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
981
982
IMPROVEMENTS:
983
984
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
985
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
986
987
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
988
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
989
990
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
991
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
992
993
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
994
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
995
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
996
997
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
998
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
999
(John Arbash Meinel)

1001
BUGFIXES:
1002
1003
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1004
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1005
1006
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1007
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1008
1009
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1010
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1011
1012
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1013
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1014
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1015
1016
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1017
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1018
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1019
1020
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1021
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1022
1023
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1024
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1025
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1026
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1027
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1028
unittest runner.
1029
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1030
1031
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1032
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1033
#185907)
1034
1035
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1036
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1037
1038
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1039
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1040
1041
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1042
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1043
1044
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1045
more characters which should be considered valid.
1046
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1047
1048
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1049
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1050
1051
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1052
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1053
1054
API BREAKS:
1055
1056
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1057
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1058
1059
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1060
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1061
(Martin Pool)
1062
1063
TESTING:
1064
1065
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1066
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1067
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1068
1069
INTERNALS:
1070
1071
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1072
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1073
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1074
1075
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1076
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1077
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1078
1079
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1080
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1081
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1082
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1083
1084
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1085
1086
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1087
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1088
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1089
server. (Robert Collins)
1090
1091
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1092
operate. (Robert Collins)
1093
1094
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1095
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1096
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1097
1098
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1099
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1100
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1101
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1102
1103
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1104
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1105
1106
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1107
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1108
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1109
1110
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1111
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1112
1113
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1114
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1115
1116
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1117
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1118
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1119
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

1126
1127
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
1128
---------------------
1129
1130
CHANGES:
1131
1132
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1133
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1134
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1135
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1136
1137
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1138
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1139
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1140
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1141
1142
FEATURES:
1143
1144
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1145
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1146
1147
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1148
(Aaron Bentley)
1149
1150
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1151
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1152
1153
IMPROVEMENTS:
1154
1155
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1156
#90049)
1157
1158
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1159
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1160
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1161
1162
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1163
1164
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1165
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1166
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1167
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1168
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1169
1170
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1171
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1172
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1173
1174
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1175
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1176
1177
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1178
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1179
1180
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1181
1182
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1183
1184
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1185
(Aaron Bentley)
1186
1187
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1188
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1189
1190
BUGFIXES:
1191
1192
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1193
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1194
1195
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1196
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1197
1198
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1199
(Aaron Bentley)
1200
1201
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1202
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1203
1204
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1205
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1206
1207
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1208
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1209
1210
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1211
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1212
1213
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1214
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1215
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1216
1217
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1218
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1219
1220
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1221
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1222
(Aaron Bentley)
1223
1224
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1225
1226
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1227
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1228
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1229
1230
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1231
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1232
1233
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1234
(Aaron Bentley)
1235
1236
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1237
#148087)
1238
1239
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1240
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1241
1242
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1243
#137681)
1244
1245
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1246
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1247
(Aaron Bentley)
1248
1249
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1250
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
1251
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
1252
1253
DOCUMENTATION:
1254
1255
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1256
(Ian Clatworthy)
1257
1258
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1259
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1260
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1261
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1262
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1263
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1264
1265
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1266
1267
INTERNALS:
1268
1269
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
1270
(Aaron Bentley)
1271
1272
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
1273
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1274
1275
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1276
1277
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1278
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1279
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1280
Robert Collins)
1281
1282
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1283
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1284
1285
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
1286
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1287
1288
API BREAKS:
1289
1290
TESTING:
1291
1292
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
1293
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1294
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
1295
1296
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1297
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1298
(Robert Collins)
1299
1300
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1301
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1302
1303
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
1304
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1305
1306
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1307
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1308
1309
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
1310
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
1311
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1312
1313
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1314
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1315
1316
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
1317
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1318
1319
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
1320
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
1321
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1322
1323
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
1324
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
1325
1326
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
1327
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

(Martin Pool)
1356
1357
BUGFIXES:
1358
1359
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
1360
1361
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
1362
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
1363
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
1364
feedback but also incur more latency.
1365
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
1366
1367
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
1368
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)

1376
1377
INTERNALS:
1378
1379
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the

* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
1393
(Aaron Bentley)
1394
1395
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
1396
Nordhoff, #172612)
1397
1398
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1399
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1400
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
1401
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1402

Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1408
1409
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1410
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1411
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1412
1413
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1414
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1415
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1416
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1417
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1418
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1419
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1420
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1421
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
1422

(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
1434
1435
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
1436
filename to user.
1437
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1438
1439
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1440
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1441
required.
1442
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
1443
1444
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1445
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
1446
1447
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
1448
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
1449
1450
API BREAKS:

1457
---------------------
1458
1459
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1460
1461
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1462
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1463
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1464
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1465
1466
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1467
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1468
1469
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1470
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1471
1472
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1473
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1474
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1475
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1476
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1477
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1478
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1479
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1480
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1481
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1482
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1483
from any tree without problems.
1484
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
1485
1486
CHANGES:
1487
1488
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1489
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1490
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1491
1492
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
1493
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
1494
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
1495
(Martin Pool)
1496
1497
FEATURES:
1498
1499
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
1500
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
1501
supported transports.
1502
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1503
1504
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
1505
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
1506
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
1507
1508
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1509
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1510
1511
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
1512
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
1513
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
1514
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
1515
1516
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
1517
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
1518
1519
PERFORMANCE:
1520
1521
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
1522
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
1523
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
1524
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1525
1526
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
1527
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
1528
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
1529
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
1530
1531
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
1532
(Robert Collins, #88319)
1533
1534
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
1535
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
1536
1537
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1538
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1539
1540
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1541
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1542
(Aaron Bentley)
1543
1544
IMPROVEMENTS:
1545
1546
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1547
(Aaron Bentley)
1548
1549
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1550
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1551
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1552
1553
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1554
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1555
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1556
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1557
1558
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1559
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1560
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1561
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
1568
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
1569
1570
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
1571
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
1572
1573
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
1574
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
1575
1576
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
1577
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
1578
1579
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
1580
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
1581
1582
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
1583
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
1584
1585
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
1586
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
1587
1588
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
1589
(Aaron Bentley)
1590
1591
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
1592
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
1593
1594
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
1595
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
1596
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
1597
1598
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
1599
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
1600
1601
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
1602
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
1603
1604
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
1605
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
1606
1607
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
1608
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
1609
1610
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
1611
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
1612
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
1613
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
1614
on them.
1615
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1616
1617
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
1618
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1619
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
1620
1621
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
1622
(Robert Collins, #161240)
1623
1624
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
1625
to be reconciled.
1626
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1627
1628
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1629
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1630
1631
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1632
specify a port in urls.
1633
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1634
1635
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
1636
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
1637
1638
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
1639
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
1640
1641
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
1642
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
1643
1644
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
1645
(Robert Collins, #153789)
1646
1647
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
1648
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
1649
(Robert Collins, #165304).
1650
1651
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
1652
1653
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
1654
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
1655
1656
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
1657
Watkins, #152811)
1658
1659
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
1660
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
1661
1662
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
1663
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
1664
1665
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
1666
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
1667
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
1668
1669
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
1670
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
1671
1672
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
1673
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
1674
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
1675
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
1676
1677
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
1678
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
1679
1680
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
1681
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
1682
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
1683
1684
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
1685
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
1686
1687
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
1688
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
1689
1690
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
1691
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
1692
1693
API BREAKS:
1694
1695
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
1696
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
1697
1698
* The return value of
1699
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
1700
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
1701
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
1702
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
1703
1704
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
1705
(Robert Collins)
1706
1707
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
1708
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
1709
format.
1710
(Martin Pool)
1711
1712
INTERNALS:
1713
1714
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
1715
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
1716
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
1717
Bennetts)
1718
1719
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
1720
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
1721
1722
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1739
1740
CHANGES:
1741
1742
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
1743
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
1744
1745
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
1746
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
1747
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
1748
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
1749
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
1750
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
1751
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
1752
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
1753
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
1754
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
1755
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
1756
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
1757
(Robert Collins)
1758
1759
FEATURES:
1760
1761
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
1762
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
1763
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
1764
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
1765
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
1766
for further details. (Robert Collins)
1767
1768
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
1769
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
1770
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
1771
(Robert Collins)
1772
1773
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
1774
1775
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
1776
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
1777
1778
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
1779
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
1780
(Aaron Bentley)
1781
1782
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
1783
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
1784
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
1785
1786
PERFORMANCE:
1787
1788
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
1789
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1790
1791
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
1792
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
1793
1794
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
1795
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
1796
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
1797
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
1798
1799
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
1800
(Robert Collins)
1801
1802
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
1803
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
1804
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
1805
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
1806
1807
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
1808
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
1809
1810
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
1811
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1812
1813
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
1814
the contents. (Robert Collins)
1815
1816
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
1817
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
1818
1819
IMPROVEMENTS:
1820
1821
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
1822
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
1823
1824
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
1825
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
1826
1827
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
1828
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
1829
1830
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
1831
(Martin Pool, #63894)
1832
1833
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
1834
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
1835
1836
DOCUMENTATION:
1837
1838
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
1839
1840
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
1841
(Ian Clatworthy)
1842
1843
BUG FIXES:
1844
1845
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
1846
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
1847
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
1848
1849
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
1850
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
1851
1852
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
1853
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
1854
1855
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
1856
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
1857
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
1858
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
1859
1860
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
1861
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
1862
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
1863
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
1864
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
1865
1866
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
1867
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
1868
paramiko.

* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1872
1873
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
1874
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
1875
1876
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
1877
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
1878
1879
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
1880
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
1881
1882
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
1883
contains a symbolic link.
1884
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
1885
1886
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
1887
(James Westby, #140615)
1888
1889
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
1890
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
1891
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
1892
1893
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
1894
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
1895
(Martin Pool, #144633)
1896
1897
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1898
1899
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
1900
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
1901
1902
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
1903
will remain opened.
1904
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
1905
1906
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
1907
directory to detect leaking tests.
1908
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
1909
1910
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
1911
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
1912
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
1913
1914
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
1915
(Rob Weir, #141629)
1916
1917
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
1918
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
1919
1920
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
1921
Merwe)
1922
1923
API BREAKS:
1924
1925
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
1926
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
1927
1928
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
1929
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
1930
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
1931
1932
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
1933
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
1934
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
1935
1936
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
1937
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
1938
1939
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
1940
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
1941
1942
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
1943
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
1944
(Martin Pool)
1945
1946
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
1947
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
1948
1949
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
1950
class that needs it.
1951
(Martin Pool)
1952
1953
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
1954
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
1955
1956
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
1957
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
1958
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
1959
1960
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
1961
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
1962
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
1963
(Robert Collins)
1964
1965
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
1966
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
1967
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
1968
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
1969
(Robert Collins)
1970
1971
INTERNALS:
1972
1973
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1974
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1975
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1976
1977
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1978
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1979
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1980
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1981
1982
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1983
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1984
(Robert Collins)
1985
1986
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1987
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1988
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1989
1990
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1991
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1992
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1993
1994
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1995
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1996
1997
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1998
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1999
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2000
2001
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2002
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2003
2004
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2005
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2006
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2007
2008
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2009
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2010
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2011
2012
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2013
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2014
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2015
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2016
2017
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2018
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2019
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2020
returned. (Robert Collins)
2021
2022
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2023
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2024
2025
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2026
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2027
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2028
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2029
(Robert Collins)
2030
2031
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2032
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2033
2034
TESTING:
2035
2036
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2037
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2038
2039
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2040
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2041
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2042
makes this behavior available to other users.
2043
(Martin Pool)
2044
2045
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2046
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
2047
2048
2049
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
2050
-------------------
2051
2052
BUG FIXES:
2053
2054
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2055
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2056
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2057
2058
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2059
2060
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2061
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2062
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2063
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2064
2065
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2066
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
2067
(Andrew Bennetts)
2068
2069
2070
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
2071
----------------------
2072
2073
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
2074
in bzrlib/remote.py.
2075
2076
2077
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
2078
----------------------
2079
2080
CHANGES:
2081
2082
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
2083
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
2084
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
2085
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
2086
(Martin Pool)
2087
2088
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
2089
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
2090
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
2091
(Ian Clatworthy)
2092
2093
FEATURES:
2094
2095
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
2096
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
2097
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
2098
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2099
2100
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
2101
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
2102
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
2103
2104
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2105
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2106
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2107
2108
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2109
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2110
2111
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
2112
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
2113
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
2114
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
2115
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
2116
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
2117
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
2118
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
2119
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
2120
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
2121
2122
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2123
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2124
2125
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
2126
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
2127
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2128
2129
BUG FIXES:
2130
2131
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2132
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2133
2134
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
2135
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
2136
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
2137
2138
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2139
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2140
2141
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2142
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2143
2144
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2145
(Aaron Bentley)
2146
2147
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2148
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2149
2150
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2151
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2152
2153
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2154
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2155
2156
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2157
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2158
2159
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2160
2161
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2162
Watkins, #106726)
2163
2164
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
2165
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
2166
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
2167
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
2168
2169
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2170
2171
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
2172
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
2173
#133548)
2174
2175
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2176
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2177
2178
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2179
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2180
#116143)
2181
2182
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2183
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2184
2185
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2186
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2187
2188
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
2189
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
2190
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
2191
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
2192
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
2193
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
2194
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
2195
2196
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2197
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2198
2199
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2200
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2201
2202
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2203
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2204
2205
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2206
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2207
2208
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2209
connections.
2210
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2211
2212
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2213
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
2214
2215
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
2216
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
2217
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
2218
2219
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2220
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2221
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2222
2223
IMPROVEMENTS:
2224
2225
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2226
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2227
2228
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2229
(Aaron Bentley)
2230
2231
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2232
(Aaron Bentley)
2233
2234
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2235
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2236
2237
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2238
2239
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2240
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2241
2242
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2243
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2244
2245
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
2246
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
2247
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
2248
space). (Robert Collins)
2249
2250
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2251
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2252
(Ian Clatworthy)
2253
2254
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2255
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2256
2257
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2258
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2259
2260
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
2261
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
2262
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
2263
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
2264
2265
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
2266
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
2267
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
2268
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2269
2270
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
2271
(Ian Clatworthy)
2272
2273
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
2274
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
2275
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
2276
2277
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
2278
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
2279
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
2280
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
2281
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
2282
2283
API BREAKS:
2284
2285
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
2286
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2287
2288
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
2289
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
2290
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
2291
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
2292
affected. (Robert Collins)
2293
2294
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
2295
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
2296
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
2297
(Robert Collins)
2298
2299
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2300
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2301
2302
TESTING:
2303
2304
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
2305
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
2306
2307
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
2308
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2309
2310
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2311
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2312
2313
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
2314
(Aaron Bentley)
2315
2316
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
2317
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2318
2319
INTERNALS:
2320
2321
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
2322
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
2323
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
2324
its version information. (Robert Collins)
2325
2326
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
2327
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2328
2329
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
2330
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
2331
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
2332
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2333
2334
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
2335
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
2336
present. (Robert Collins)
2337
2338
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
2339
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
2340
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
2341
API. (Robert Collins)
2342
2343
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
2344
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
2345
(Robert Collins)
2346
2347
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
2348
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
2349
2350
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
2351
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
2352
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
2353
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
2354
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
2355
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
2356
2357
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
2358
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
2359
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
2360
2361
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
2362
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
2363
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
2364
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
2365
protocol.
2366
2367
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
2368
(Aaron Bentley)
2369
2370
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
2371
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
2372
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
2373
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
2374
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
2375
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
2376
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
2377
2378
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
2379
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
2380
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
2381
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
2382
2383
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
2384
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
2385
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
2386
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
2387
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
2388
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
2389
2390
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
2391
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
2392
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
2393
2394
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
2395
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

-------------------
2400
2401
IMPROVEMENTS:
2402
2403
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2404
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2405
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2406
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2407
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2408
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2409
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
2411
2412
2413
API CHANGES:
2414
2415
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2416
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2417
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
2418
2419
2420
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
2421
----------------------
2422
2423
BUGFIXES:
2424
2425
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2426
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2427
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2428
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2429
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2430
2431
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2432
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2433
2434
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2435
anymore.
2436
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2437
2438
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2439
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2440
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2441
2442
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2443
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2444
#111664)
2445
2446
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2447
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2448
2449
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2450
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2451
2452
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2453
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2454
2455
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2456
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2457
2458
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2459
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2460
2461
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2462
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2463
2464
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2465
(Aaron Bentley)
2466
2467
IMPROVEMENTS:
2468
2469
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2470
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2471
2472
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2473
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2474
2475
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2476
the repository (Robert Collins)
2477
2478
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2479
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2480
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2481
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2482
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2483
2484
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2485
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2486
2487
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2488
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2489
(John Arbash Meinel)
2490
2491
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2492
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2493
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2494
about 10%).
2495
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2496
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2497
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2498
(John Arbash Meinel)
2499
2500
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2501
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2502
(Robert Collins)
2503
2504
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2505
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2506
2507
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2508
(Ian Clatworthy)
2509
2510
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2511
2512
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2513
2514
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2515
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2516
2517
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2518
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2519
Meinel)
2520
2521
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2522
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2523
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2524
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2525
2526
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2527
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
2528
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
2529
2530
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
2531
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
2532
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
2533
2534
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2535
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2536
2537
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2538
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2539
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2540
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2541
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2542
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2543
(Ian Clatworthy)
2544
2545
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2546
(Alexander Belchenko)
2547
2548
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2549
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2550
2551
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2552
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2553
2554
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2555
2556
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2557
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2558
2559
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2560
2561
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2562
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2563
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2564
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2565
2566
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2567
2568
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2569
(Robert Collins)
2570
2571
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2572
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2573
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2574
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2575
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2576
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2577
2578
INTERNALS:
2579
2580
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2581
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2582
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2583
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2584
2585
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2586
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2587
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2588
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2589
tests have been refactored too.
2590
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2591
2592
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2593
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2594
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2595
list, it will.
2596
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2597
2598
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2599
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2600
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2601
2602
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2603
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2604
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2605
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2606
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2607
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2608
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2609
2610
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2611
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2612
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2613
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2614
(John Arbash Meinel)
2615
2616
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2617
functionality for testing.
2618
2619
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2620
2621
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2622
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2623
2624
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2625
2626
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2627
(Robert Collins)
2628
2629
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2630
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2631
2632
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2633
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2634
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2635
2636
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2637
(Aaron Bentley)
2638
2639
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2640
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2641
2642
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2643
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2644
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2645
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2646
2647
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2648
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2649
2650
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2651
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2652
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2653
2654
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2655
(Marius Kruger)
2656
2657
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2658
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2659
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2660
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2661
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
2662
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2663
2664
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
2665
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
2666
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
2667
many files. (Robert Collins)
2668
2669
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
2670
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
2671
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
2672
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
2673
2674
TESTING:
2675
2676
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
2677
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
2678
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
2679
2680
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
2681
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
2682
2683
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
2684
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
2685
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
2700
2701
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
2702
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
2703
2704
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
2705
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
2706
(James Westby, #122656)
2707
2708
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
2709
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
2710
2711
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
2712
authentication header.
2713
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
2714
2715
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
2716
2717
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
2718
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
2719
2720
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
2721
2722
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
2723
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
2724
2725
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
2726
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
2727
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
2728
2729
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
2730
individually and as part of revision ranges.
2731
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
2732
2733
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
2734
(Martin Pool, #109169)
2735
2736
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
2737
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
2738
2739
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
2740
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
2741
2742
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2743
2744
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
2745
2746
IMPROVEMENTS:
2747
2748
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
2749
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
2750
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
2751
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
2752
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
2753
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
2754
2755
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
2756
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
2757
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
2758
2759
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
2760
(Elliot Murphy)
2761
2762
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
2763
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
2764
2765
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
2766
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
2767
2768
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
2769
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
2770
2771
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
2772
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
2773
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
2774
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
2775
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
2776
2777
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
2778
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
2779
2780
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
2781
can be slow it is useful feedback).
2782
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
2783
2784
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
2785
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
2786
2787
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
2788
2789
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
2790
output. (Aaron Bentley)
2791
2792
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
2793
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
2794
(Robert Collins)
2795
2796
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
2797
(Martin Pool)
2798
2799
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
2800
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
2801
2802
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
2803
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
2804
2805
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
2806
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
2807
2808
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
2809
2810
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
2811
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
2812
2813
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
2814
(Andrew Bennetts)

2816
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2817
2818
* Testing cleanups -
2819
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2820
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
2821
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2822
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
2823
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2824
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
2825
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2826
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
2827
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2828
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
2829
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
2830
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
2831
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2832
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
2833
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2834
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
2835
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
2836
(Robert Collins)
2837
2838
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
2839
2840
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
2841
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
2842
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
2843
2844
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
2845
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
2846
2847
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
2848
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2849
2850
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
2851
2852
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
2853
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
2854
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
2855
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
2856
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
2857
same location. (Robert Collins)
2858
2859
INTERNALS:
2860
2861
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
2862
2863
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
2864
2865
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
2866
2867
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
2868
(Martin Pool)
2869
2870
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
2871
(Martin Pool)
2872
2873
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
2874
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
2875
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
2876
2877
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
2878
2879
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
2880
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
2881
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
2882
2883
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
2884
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
2885
2886
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
2887
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
2888
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
2889
2890
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
2891
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
2892
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
2893
2894
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
2895
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
2896
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
2897
2898
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
2899
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
2900
Martin Pool)
2901
2902
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
2903
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
2904
2905
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
2906
(Alexander Belchenko)
2907
2908
TESTING:
2909
2910
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
2911
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
2912
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
2913
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2914
2915
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
2916
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
2917
testing. (Robert Collins)
2918
2919
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
2920
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
2921
2922
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
2923
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
2924
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
2925
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
2926
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
2927
attribute during the test parameterisation in
2928
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
2929
2930
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
2931
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
2932
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
2933
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
2934
2935
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
2936
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
2937
2938
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
2939
avoid useless cloning.

2958
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2959
2960
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
2961
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
2962
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
2963
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
2964
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
2965
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
2966
and unlock() like so::
2967
2968
work_tree.lock_read()
2969
try:
2970
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
2971
finally:
2972
work_tree.unlock()
2973
2974
INTERNALS:
2975
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
2976
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
2977
object.
2978
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
2979
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
2980
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
2981
2982
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2983
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2984
too. (Robert Collins)
2985
2986
IMPROVEMENTS:
2987
2988
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
2989
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
2990
Aaron Bentley)
2991
2992
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
2993
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
2994
2995
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
2996
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
2997
2998
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
2999
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3000
understanding what changes have occurred
3001
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3002
3003
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3004
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3005
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3006
3007
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3008
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3009
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3010
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3011
3012
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3013
#56322)
3014
3015
BUGFIXES:
3016
3017
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3018
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3019
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3020
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3021
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3022
3023
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3024
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3025
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3026
3027
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3028
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3029
3030
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3031
into account.
3032
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3033
3034
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3035
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3036
3037
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3038
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3039
3040
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3041
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3042
3043
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3044
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3045
3046
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3047
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3048
3049
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3050
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3051
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
3054
--------------------
3055
3056
BUGFIXES:
3057
3058
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3059
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3060
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3061
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3062
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3063
3064
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3065
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3066
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3067
3068
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3069
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3070
3071
IMPROVEMENTS:
3072
3073
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3074
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3075
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3076
3077
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3078
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3079
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3080
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

3082
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
3083
-----------------------
3084
3085
BUGFIXES:
3086
3087
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
3088
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
3089
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
3090
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
3091
3092
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
3093
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
3094
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
3095
3096
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
3097
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
3098
3099
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
3100
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
3101
3102
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
3103
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
3104
3105
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
3106
-----------------------
3107
3108
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3109
3110
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
3111
it could be recovered again.
3112
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
3113
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
3114
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
3115
but not delete it.
3116
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
3117
files.
3118
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
3119
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
3120
3121
IMPROVEMENTS:
3122
3123
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
3124
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
3125
3126
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
3127
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
3128
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
3129
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
3130
3131
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
3132
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
3133
3134
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
3135
tests with names that match that regular expression.
3136
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
3137
3138
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
3139
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
3140
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
3141
3142
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
3143
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
3144
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
3145
3146
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
3147
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
3148
Robert Collins)
3149
3150
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
3151
Pool)
3152
3153
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
3154
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
3155
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
3156
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
3157
3158
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
3159
(Robert Collins)
3160
3161
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
3162
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
3163
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
3164
(Robert Collins)
3165
3166
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
3167
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
3168
3169
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
3170
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
3171
3172
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
3173
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
3174
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
3175
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
3176
(Robert Collins)
3177
3178
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
3179
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
3180
3181
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
3182
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3183
3184
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
3185
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
3186
(Robert Collins, #107125).
3187
3188
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
3189
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
3190
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
3191
3192
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
3193
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
3194
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3195
3196
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
3197
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
3198
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
3199
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
3200
3201
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
3202
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
3203
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
3204
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
3205
3206
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
3207
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
3208
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
3209
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
3210
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
3211
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
3212
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
3213
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
3214
header(s).
3215
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3216
3217
INTERNALS:
3218
3219
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
3220
code paths. (Robert Collins)
3221
3222
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
3223
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
3224
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
3225
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
3226
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3227
3228
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
3229
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
3230
3231
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
3232
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
3233
3234
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
3235
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
3236
3237
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
3238
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
3239
3240
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
3241
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
3242
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
3243
(Robert Collins).
3244
3245
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
3246
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
3247
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
3248
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
3249
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
3250
(Robert Collins)
3251
3252
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
3253
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
3254
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
3255
3256
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
3257
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
3258
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3259
3260
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
3261
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
3262
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
3263
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3264
3265
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
3266
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
3267
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
3268
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
3269
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
3270
3271
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
3272
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
3273
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
3274
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3275
3276
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
3277
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3278
3279
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
3280
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
3281
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
3282
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
3283
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
3284
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
3285
3286
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
3287
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
3288
3289
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
3290
help. (Robert Collins)
3291
3292
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
3293
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3294
3295
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
3296
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
3297
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
3298
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
3299
(John Arbash Meinel)
3300
3301
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
3302
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
3303
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
3304
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
3305
useful. (Robert Collins)
3306
3307
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
3308
(Andrew Bennetts)
3309
3310
BUGFIXES:
3311
3312
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
3313
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
3314
3315
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
3316
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
3317
3318
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
3319
properly and is no longer beneficial.
3320
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
3321
3322
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
3323
(Aaron Bentley)
3324
3325
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
3326
the file, and does it faster.
3327
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
3328
3329
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
3330
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
3331
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
3332
3333
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
3334
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
3335
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
3336
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
3337
3338
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
3339
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
3340
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
3341
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
3342
3343
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
3344
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
3345
3346
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
3347
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
3348
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
3349
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
3350
Arbash Meinel)
3351
3352
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
3353
3354
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
3355
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
3356
3357
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
3358
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
3359
3360
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
3361
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
3362
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
3363
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
3364
security hole.
3365
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3366
3367
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3368
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3369
3370
TESTING:
3371
3372
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3373
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3374
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3375
3376
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3377
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3378
3379
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3380
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3381
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3382
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3383
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3384
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3385
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3386
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3387
3388
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3389
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3390
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3391
3392
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3393
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3394
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
3395
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
3396
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3397
access.
3398
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3399
3400
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3401
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3402
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3403
3404
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3405
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

-----------------------
3422
3423
CHANGES:
3424
3425
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
3426
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
3427
(Martin Pool)
3428
3429
IMPROVEMENTS:
3430
3431
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3432
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3433
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3434
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3435
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3436
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3437
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3438
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3439
path. (vila)
3440
3441
INTERNALS:
3442
3443
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3444
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3445
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3446
3447
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3448
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3449
(Martin Pool)
3450
3451
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3452
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3453
(John Arbash Meinel)
3454
3455
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3456
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3457
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3458
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3459
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3460
3461
BUGFIXES:
3462
3463
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3464
(vila, #92195)
3465
3466
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3467
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3468
3469
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3470
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3471
3472
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3473
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3474
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3475
3476
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3477
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3478
3479
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3480
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3481
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3482
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3483
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3484
3485
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3486
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3487
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3488
3489
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

3493
-----------------------
3494
3495
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3496
3497
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3498
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3499
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3500
3501
IMPROVEMENTS:
3502
3503
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3504
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3505
3506
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3507
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3508
3509
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3510
3511
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3512
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3513
3514
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3515
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3516
3517
INTERNALS:
3518
3519
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3520
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
3521
3522
BUGFIXES:
3523
3524
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3525
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3526
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3527
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3528
3529
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3530
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3531
3532
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3533
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3534
3535
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3536
(Marien Zwart)
3537
3538
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
3539
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)

3542
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
3543
-----------------------
3544
3545
SURPRISES:
3546
3547
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
3548
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
3549
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
3550
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
3551
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
3552
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
3553
3554
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
3555
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
3556
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
3557
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
3558
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
3559
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
3560
development.
3561
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3562
3563
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
3564
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
3565
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
3566
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
3567
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
3568
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
3569
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
3570
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3571
3572
IMPROVEMENTS:
3573
3574
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3575
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3576
3577
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
3578
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
3579
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
3580
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
3581
does exist.
3582
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
3583
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
3584
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
3585
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
3586
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
3587
3588
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
3589
(Aaron Bentley)
3590
3591
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3592
(Aaron Bentley)
3593
3594
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3595
(Robert Collins)
3596
3597
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3598
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3599
(Aaron Bentley)
3600
3601
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3602
(Aaron Bentley)
3603
3604
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3605
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3606
3607
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3608
directory. (Martin Pool)
3609
3610
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3611
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3612
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3613
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3614
3615
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3616
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3617
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3618
in docs/configuration.txt.
3619
3620
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3621
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
3622
bind location.
3623
3624
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
3625
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
3626
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
3627
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
3628
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
3629
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3630
3631
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3632
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3633
3634
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3635
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3636
3637
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
3638
(Aaron Bentley)
3639
3640
INTERNALS:
3641
3642
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
3643
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
3644
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
3645
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
3646
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
3647
(John Arbash Meinel)
3648
3649
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
3650
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
3651
(Aaron Bentley)
3652
3653
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
3654
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
3655
(John Arbash Meinel)
3656
3657
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
3658
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
3659
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
3660
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
3661
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
3662
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
3663
3664
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
3665
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
3666
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
3667
3668
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
3669
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
3670
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
3671
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
3672
repository.
3673
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3674
3675
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
3676
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
3677
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
3678
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
3679
3680
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
3681
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
3682
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
3683
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
3684
3685
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
3686
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
3687
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
3688
3689
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
3690
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
3691
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
3692
3693
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
3694
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
3695
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
3696
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
3697
3698
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
3699
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
3700
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
3701
3702
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
3703
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
3704
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
3705
3706
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
3707
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
3708
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
3709
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
3710
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
3711
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
3712
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
3713
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
3714
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
3717
3718
BUGFIXES:
3719
3720
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
3721
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
3722
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
3723
3724
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
3725
(Aaron Bentley)
3726
3727
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
3728
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
3729
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
3730
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
3731
3732
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
3733
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
3734
#83954).
3735
3736
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
3737
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
3738
3739
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
3740
3741
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
3742
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
3743
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
3744
3745
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
3746
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
3747
3748
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
3749
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
3750
3751
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
3752
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
3753
3754
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
3755
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
3756
3757
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
3758
3759
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
3760
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
3761
3762
TESTING:
3763
3764
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
3765
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

3771
IMPROVEMENTS:
3772
3773
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
3774
3775
BUG FIXES:
3776
3777
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
3778
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
3779
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
3780
3781
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
3782
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
3783
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

3785
3786
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
3787
-----------------------
3788
3789
IMPROVEMENTS:
3790
3791
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
3792
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
3793
server, then you can write over the http connection.
3794
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3795
3796
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
3797
(Marius Kruger)
3798
3799
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
3800
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
3801
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3802
3803
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
3804
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
3805
3806
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
3807
(Aaron Bentley)
3808
3809
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
3810
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
3811
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
3812
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
3813
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
3814
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
3815
3816
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
3817
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
3818
should enable you to do::
3819
3820
[/home/user/project]
3821
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
3822
push_location:policy = appendpath
3823
3824
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
3825
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
3826
(James Henstridge)
3827
3828
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
3829
for each file. For example::
3830
3831
$ bzr status --short
3832
A foo
3833
A bar
3834
D baz
3835
? wooley
3836
3837
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
3838
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
3839
3840
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
3841
3842
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
3843
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
3844
3845
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
3846
3847
INTERNALS:
3848
3849
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
3850
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
3851
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
3852
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
3853
3854
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
3855
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
3856
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
3857
3858
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3859
3860
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
3861
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
3862
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
3863
(Alexander Belchenko)
3864
3865
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
3866
Pool)
3867
3868
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
3869
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
3870
3871
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
3872
3873
BUG FIXES:
3874
3875
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
3876
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
3877
3878
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
3879
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
3880
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
3881
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
3882
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
3883
3884
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
3885
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
3886
3887
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
3888
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
3889
3890
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
3891
matcher.
3892
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
3893
3894
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
3895
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
3896
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
3897
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
3898
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
3899
3900
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
3901
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
3902
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
3903
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
3904
3905
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
3906
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
3907
3908
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
3909
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
3910
3911
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
3912
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
3913
3914
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

3926
IMPROVEMENTS:
3927
3928
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
3929
tree from a branch.
3930
(Daniel Silverstone)
3931
3932
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
3933
operations are substantially faster.
3934
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
3935
3936
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
3937
tree from some other url. For example:
3938
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
3939
(Daniel Silverstone)
3940
3941
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
3942
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
3943
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
3944
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
3945
3946
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
3947
(Andrew Bennetts)
3948
3949
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
3950
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
3951
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
3952
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
3953
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
3954
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
3955
3956
INTERNALS:
3957
3958
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
3959
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
3960
(Martin Pool)
3961
3962
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3963
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3964
(John Arbash Meinel)
3965
3966
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
3967
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
3968
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
3969
(John Arbash Meinel)
3970
3971
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
3972
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3973
3974
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3975
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3976
3977
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3978
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3979
Bennetts)
3980
3981
BUG FIXES:
3982
3983
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
3984
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
3985
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
3986
3987
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
3988
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
3989
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
3990
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
3991
3992
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3993
3994
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3995
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3996
3997
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3998
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3999
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4000
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4001
4002
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4003
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4004
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4005
4006
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4007
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4008
them as full references rather than integers.
4009
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4010
4011
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4012
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4013
4014
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4015
4016
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4017
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4018
4019
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4020
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4021
4022
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4023
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4024
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4025
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4026
4027
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4028
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4029
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4030
4031
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4032
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4033
4034
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4035
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4036
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4037
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4038
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4039
4040
TESTING:
4041
4042
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4043
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

4046
--------------------
4047
4048
INTERNALS:
4049
4050
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,

4054
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
4055
-----------------------
4056
4057
IMPROVEMENTS:
4058
4059
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4060
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4061
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4062
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4063
4064
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4065
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4066
4067
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4068
4069
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4070
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4071
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4072
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4073
4074
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4075
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4076
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4077
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4078
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4079
4080
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4081
4082
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4083
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4084
4085
INTERNALS:
4086
4087
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4088
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4089
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4090
4091
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4092
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4093
(John Arbash Meinel)
4094
4095
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4096
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4097
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4098
4099
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4100
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4101
(Aaron Bentley)
4102
4103
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4104
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4105
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4106
4107
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4108
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4109
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4110
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4111
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4112
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4113
4114
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4115
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4116
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4117
(Robert Collins)
4118
4119
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4120
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4121
4122
BUG FIXES:
4123
4124
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4125
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4126
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4127
#63360, #66349)
4128
4129
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4130
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)

* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4133
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4134
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4135
4136
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4137
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4138
4139
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4140
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4141
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4142
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4143
4144
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4145
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4146
4147
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4148
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4149
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4150
4151
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4152
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4153
4154
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4155
4156
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4157
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4158
#32054)
4159
4160
TESTING:
4161
4162
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4163
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4164
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4165
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4166
4167
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4168
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4169
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4170
4171
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
4172
--------------------
4173
4174
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
4175
4176
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
4177
-----------------------
4178
4179
BUG FIXES:
4180
4181
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
4182
4183
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
4184
Arbash Meinel).
4185
4186
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
4187
-----------------------
4188
4189
IMPROVEMENTS:
4190
4191
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
4192
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
4193
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
4194
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
4195
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
4196
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
4197
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
4198
4199
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
4200
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
4201
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
4202
4203
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
4204
4205
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
4206
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
4207
4208
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
4209
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
4210
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
4211
(Robert Collins)
4212
4213
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
4214
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
4215
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
4216
(John Arbash Meinel)
4217
4218
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
4219
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
4220
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
4221
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
4222
Pool)
4223
4224
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
4225
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
4226
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
4227
(John Arbash Meinel)
4228
4229
BUG FIXES:
4230
4231
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
4232
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
4233
4234
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
4235
4236
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
4237
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
4238
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
4239
4240
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
4241
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
4242
4243
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
4244
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
4245
4246
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
4247
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
4248
4249
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
4250
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
4251
4252
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
4253
4254
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
4255
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
4256
4257
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
4258
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
4259
4260
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
4261
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
4262
4263
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
4264
(John Arbash Meinel)
4265
4266
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
4267
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
4268
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
4269
4270
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
4271
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4272
4273
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
4274
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
4275
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
4276
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
4277
4278
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
4279
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
4280
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
4281
4282
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
4283
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
4284
4285
PORTABILITY:
4286
4287
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
4288
4289
INTERNALS:
4290
4291
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
4292
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
4293
(John Arbash Meinel)
4294
4295
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
4296
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
4297
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
4298
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4299
4300
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
4301
(Andrew Bennetts)
4302
4303
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
4304
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
4305
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
4306
4307
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
4308
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
4309
4310
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
4311
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
4312
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
4313
4314
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
4315
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
4316
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
4317
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
4318
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
4319
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
4320
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
4321
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
4322
caller to repeat their request.
4323
(John Arbash Meinel)
4324
4325
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
4326
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
4327
4328
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
4329
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
4330
4331
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
4332
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
4333
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
4334
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
4335
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
4336
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
4337
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
4338
4339
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
4340
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
4341
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
4342
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
4343
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
4344
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
4345
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
4346
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
4347
(Robert Collins)
4348
4349
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
4350
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
4351
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
4352
4353
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
4354
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
4355
4356
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
4357
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
4358
4359
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
4360
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4361
4362
TESTING:
4363
4364
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
4365
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
4366
4367
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
4368
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
4369
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4370
4371
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
4372
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
4373
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4374
4375
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
4376
--------------------
4377
4378
IMPROVEMENTS:
4379
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
4380
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4381
4382
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
4383
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
4384
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
4385
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
4386
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
4387
4388
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
4389
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
4390
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
4391
4392
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
4393
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
4394
4395
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
4396
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
4397
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4398
4399
BUG FIXES:
4400
4401
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
4402
4403
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
4404
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
4405
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
4406
4407
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
4408
4409
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
4410
4411
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
4412
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
4413
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
4414
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
4415
4416
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
4417
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
4418
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
4419
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
4420
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
4421
4422
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
4423
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
4424
4425
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
4426
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
4427
4428
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
4429
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
4430
4431
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
4432
in handling of revision properties.
4433
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
4434
4435
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
4436
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
4437
4438
INTERNALS:
4439
4440
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
4441
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
4442
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
4443
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
4444
(John Arbash Meinel)
4445
4446
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
4447
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
4448
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4449
4450
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4451
---------------------
4452
4453
SURPRISES:
4454
4455
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
4456
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
4457
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
4458
specific one '.bzrignore'.
4459
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
4460
a more conservative list than the old default.
4461
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
4462
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
4463
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
4464
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
4465
4466
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4467
to more locations than just branch locations.
4468
(Aaron Bentley)
4469
4470
IMPROVEMENTS:
4471
4472
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
4473
revno:N:branch. For example,
4474
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
4475
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4476
4477
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
4478
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
4479
the path of a file that has been versioned.
4480
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
4481
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
4482
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
4483
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
4484
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
4485
#42517, #42514)
4486
4487
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
4488
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
4489
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
4490
(Malone #3507)
4491
4492
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
4493
(Alexander Belchenko)
4494
4495
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
4496
4497
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
4498
(Robert Collins).
4499
4500
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
4501
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
4502
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
4503
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
4504
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
4505
(John Arbash Meinel)
4506
4507
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
4508
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
4509
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
4510
grained analysis of performance.
4511
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4512
4513
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
4514
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
4515
4516
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
4517
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
4518
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
4519
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
4520
file. (Robert Collins).
4521
4522
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
4523
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
4524
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
4525
4526
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
4527
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
4528
Matthieu Moy)
4529
4530
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
4531
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
4532
4533
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
4534
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
4535
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
4536
the same way you would apply another branch.
4537
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4538
4539
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
4540
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
4541
4542
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
4543
(Michael Ellerman)
4544
4545
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
4546
(Aaron Bentley)
4547
4548
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
4549
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
4550
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
4551
4552
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
4553
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
4554
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
4555
4556
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
4557
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
4558
4559
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
4560
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
4561
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
4562
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
4563
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
4564
4565
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
4566
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
4567
4568
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
4569
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
4570
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
4571
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
4572
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
4573
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
4574
branch is as much as 4x faster.
4575
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
4576
4577
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
4578
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
4579
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
4580
4581
BUG FIXES:
4582
4583
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4584
tests not to run.
4585
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4586
4587
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4588
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4589
4590
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4591
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4592
4593
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4594
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4595
4596
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4597
4598
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4599
(John Arbash Meinel)
4600
4601
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4602
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4603
4604
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4605
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4606
and y.
4607
4608
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4609
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4610
4611
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4612
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4613
4614
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4615
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4616
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4617
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4618
4619
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4620
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4621
4622
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4623
4624
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4625
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4626
4627
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4628
4629
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4630
4631
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4632
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4633
4634
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4635
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4636
4637
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4638
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4639
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4640
4641
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4642
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4643
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4644
4645
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4646
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4647
4648
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4649
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4650
4651
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4652
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4653
4654
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4655
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4656
4657
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4658
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
4659
4660
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
4661
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
4662
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
4663
4664
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
4665
4666
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
4667
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
4668
4669
INTERNALS:
4670
4671
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
4672
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
4673
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
4674
4675
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
4676
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
4677
4678
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
4679
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
4680
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4681
4682
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
4683
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4684
4685
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
4686
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
4687
(Martin Pool)
4688
4689
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
4690
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
4691
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4692
4693
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
4694
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
4695
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4696
4697
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
4698
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
4699
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
4700
4701
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
4702
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
4703
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
4704
4705
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
4706
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
4707
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
4708
4709
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
4710
instead. (Robert Collins)
4711
4712
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

4727
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
4728
4729
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
4730
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4731
4732
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
4733
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

CHANGES:
4746
4747
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
4748
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
4749

4750
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
4751
4752
NEW FEATURES:
4753
4754
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into

4769
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
4770
-------------------
4771
4772
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4773
4774
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
4775
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
4776
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
4777
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
4778
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
4779
will keep the same format.
4780
4781
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
4782
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
4783
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
4784
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
4785
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
4786
4787
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
4788
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
4789
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
4790
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
4791
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
4792
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
4793
indicating the current revision of the branch.
4794
4795
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
4796
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
4797
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
4798
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
4799
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
4800
4801
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
4802
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
4803
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
4804
arrangement.
4805
4806
4807
IMPROVEMENTS:
4808
4809
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
4810
convention. Paths now take the form::
4811
4812
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
4813
or
4814
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
4815
4816
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
4817
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
4818
4819
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
4820
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
4821
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
4822
4823
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
4824
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
4825
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
4826
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
4827
4828
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
4829
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
4830
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
4831
4832
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
4833
4834
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
4835
4836
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
4837
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
4838
commits::
4839
4840
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
4841
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
4842
| xargs bzr re-sign
4843
4844
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
4845
4846
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
4847
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
4848
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
4849
(Robert Collins)
4850
4851
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
4852
4853
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
4854
4855
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
4856
'.moved'.
4857
4858
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
4859
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
4860
4861
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
4862
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
4863
Daniel Silverstone)
4864
4865
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
4866
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
4867
Martin Pool)
4868
4869
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
4870
4871
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
4872
4873
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
4874
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
4875
4876
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
4877
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
4878
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
4879
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
4880
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
4881
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
4882
4883
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
4884
4885
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
4886
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
4887
(Robert Collins)
4888
4889
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
4890
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
4891
4892
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
4893
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
4894
4895
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
4896
4897
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
4898
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
4899
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
4900
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
4901
specification by Martin Pool.
4902
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
4903
4904
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
4905
Belchenko)
4906
4907
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
4908
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4909
4910
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
4911
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
4912
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
4913
4914
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
4915
4916
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
4917
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
4918
(Robert Collins)
4919
4920
CHANGES:
4921
4922
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
4923
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4924
4925
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
4926
4927
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
4928
4929
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
4930
(Olaf Conradi)
4931
4932
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
4933
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
4934
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
4935
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
4936
4937
INTERNALS:
4938
4939
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
4940
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
4941
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
4942
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4943
4944
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
4945
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
4946
tried. (Martin Pool)
4947
4948
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
4949
(Martin Pool)
4950
4951
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
4952
4953
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
4954
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
4955
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
4956
4957
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
4958
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
4959
4960
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
4961
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
4962
paths. (Robert Collins)
4963
4964
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
4965
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
4966
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
4967
4968
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
4969
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
4970
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
4971
4972
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4973
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4974
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4975
4976
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4977
(Olaf Conradi)
4978
4979
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4980
(Olaf Conradi)
4981
4982
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4983
4984
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4985
4986
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
4987
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
4988
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
4989
(Robert Collins)
4990
4991
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4992
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4993
4994
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
4995
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
4996
check. (Robert Collins)
4997
4998
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4999
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5000
5001
TESTING:
5002
5003
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5004
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5005
5006
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5007
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5008
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5009
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5010
5011
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5012
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5013
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5014
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5015
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5016
5017
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5018
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5019
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5020
5021
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5022
5023
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5024
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

------------------

CHANGES:
5030
5031
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5032
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5033
5034
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5035
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5036
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5037
(Johan Rydberg)
5038
5039
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5040
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5041
5042
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5043
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5044
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5045
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5046
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5047
5048
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5049
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5050
used. (Robert Collins)
5051
5052
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5053
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5054
(James Henstridge)
5055
5056
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5057
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5058
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5059
5060
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5061
ignore list.
5062
5063
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5064
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
5065
5066
IMPROVEMENTS:
5067
5068
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5069
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5070
5071
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5072
5073
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5074
5075
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5076
tree. (Robert Collins)
5077
5078
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
5079
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
5080
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
5081
(Robert Collins)
5082
5083
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
5084
that they be kept.
5085
5086
* Tweaks to short log printing
5087
5088
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
5089
(Aaron Bentley)
5090
5091
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
5092
occurs. (Martin Pool)
5093
5094
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
5095
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
5096
5097
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
5098
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5099
5100
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5101
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5102
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5103
5104
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5105
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5106
5107
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5108
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5109
requests.
5110
5111
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5112
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5113
5114
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5115
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5116
5117
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5118
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5119
5120
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5121
(Denys Duchier)
5122
5123
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5124
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5125
5126
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5127
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5128
5129
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5130
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5131
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
5132
5133
BUG FIXES:
5134
5135
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
5136
5137
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5138
5139
* Error when run with -OO
5140
5141
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
5142
(Martin Pool)
5143
5144
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5145
5146
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5147
5148
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5149
ignored by diff and status
5150
5151
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5152
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5153
5154
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5155
5156
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5157
5158
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5159
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5160
5161
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5162
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5163
5164
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5165
(Harald Meland)
5166
5167
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5168
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5169
5170
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5171
5172
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5173
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5174
5175
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5176
(Martin Pool)
5177
5178
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5179
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5180
5181
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5182
5183
TESTING:
5184
5185
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5186
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5187
5188
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5189
5190
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5191
5192
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5193
5194
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5195
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5196
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5197
5198
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5199
5200
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5201
(John Arbash Meinel)
5202
5203
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5204
5205
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5206
If adding a new test script please add that to
5207
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5208
5209
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5210
imported. (Martin Pool)
5211
5212
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5213
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5214
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5215
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5216
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5217
(Robert Collins)
5218
5219
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5220
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5221
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5222
5223
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5224
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5225
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5226
5227
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5228
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5229
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5230
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5231
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5232
(Robert Collins).
5233
5234
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5235
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5236
(Robert Collins).
5237
5238
INTERNALS:
5239
5240
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5241
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5242
5243
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5244
function. (Robert Collins)
5245
5246
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5247
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5248
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5249
5250
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5251
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5252
(Robert Collins)
5253
5254
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5255
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5256
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5257
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5258
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5259
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5260
version. (Robert Collins)
5261
5262
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5263
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5264
5265
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5266
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5267
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5268
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5269
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5270
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5271
5272
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5273
(Robert Collins)
5274
5275
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5276
5277
add()
5278
commit()
5279
move()
5280
rename_one()
5281
unknowns()
5282
5283
(Robert Collins)
5284
5285
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5286
5287
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5288
5289
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5290
Pool)
5291
5292
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5293
query method. (Robert Collins)
5294
5295
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5296
(Denys Duchier)
5297
5298
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5299
(Michael Ellerman)
5300
5301
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5302
(Michael Ellerman)
5303
5304
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5305
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5306
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5307
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5308
5309
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5310
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5311
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5312
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5313
5314
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5315
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
5316

bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
5318
------------------
5319
5320
IMPROVEMENTS:
5321
5322
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
5323
(John A Meinel)
5324
5325
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
5326
conflicts.
5327
(Aaron Bentley)
5328
5329
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
5330
a separator, not ':'.
5331
(Aaron Bentley)
5332
5333
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
5334
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
5335
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
5336
5337
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
5338
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
5339
(Robert Collins)
5340
5341
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
5342
has been added that suppresses all output.
5343
5344
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
5345
Adams.
5346
5347
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
5348
Goffredo Baroncelli.
5349
5350
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
5351
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
5352
5353
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
5354
a revision. (Robert Collins)
5355
5356
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
5357
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
5358
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
5359
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
5360
5361
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
5362
5363
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
5364
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
5365
5366
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
5367
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
5368
5369
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
5370
output directory, if one was supplied.
5371
5372
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
5373
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
5374
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
5375
parameters. (Robert Collins)
5376
5377
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
5378
5379
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
5380
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
5381
5382
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
5383
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
5384
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
5385
5386
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
5387
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
5388
5389
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
5390
(Aaron Bentley)
5391
5392
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
5393
5394
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
5395
5396
TESTING:
5397
5398
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
5399
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
5400
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
5401
5402
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
5403
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
5404
related questions. (Robert Collins)
5405
5406
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
5407
is given. (Martin Pool)
5408
5409
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
5410
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
5411
file. (Robert Collins)
5412
5413
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
5414
(Martin Pool)
5415
5416
INTERNALS:
5417
5418
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
5419
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
5420
representation. (Martin Pool).
5421
5422
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
5423
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
5424
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
5425
5426
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5427
(Robert Collins)
5428
5429
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
5430
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
5431
Magnus Therning.
5432
5433
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5434
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
5435
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5436
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5437
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5438
5439
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5440
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5441
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5442
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5443
python path. (Robert Collins)
5444
5445
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5446
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5447
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5448
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5449
5450
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5451
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5452
5453
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5454
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5455
(Robert Collins)
5456
5457
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5458
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5459
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5460
5461
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5462
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5463
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5464
5465
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5466
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5467
5468
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5469
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5470
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5471
(Robert Collins)
5472
5473
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5474
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5475
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5476
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5477
(Robert Collins)
5478
5479
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5480
(Robert Collins)
5481
5482
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5483
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5484
(Robert Collins)
5485
5486
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
5487
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
5488
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
5489
5490
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
5491
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
5492
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
5493
5494
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
5495
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
5496
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
5497
5498
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5499
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5500
5501
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
5502
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
5503
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
5504
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
5505
caller. (Robert Collins)
5506
5507
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
5508
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
5509
(Robert Collins).
5510
5511
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
5512
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
5513
(Aaron Bentley)
5514
5515
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
5516
5517
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
5518
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
5519
5520
BUG FIXES:
5521
5522
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
5523
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
5524
5525
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
5526
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
5530
--------------------
5531
5532
BUG FIXES:
5533
5534
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
5535
allow directories to be listed.
5536
5537
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
5538
upgrading branch format.
5539
5540
PERFORMANCE:
5541
5542
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
5543
5544
5545
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
5546
------------------
5547
5548
NOTES:
5549
5550
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
5551
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
5552
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
5553
high-latency connections.
5554
5555
BUG FIXES:
5556
5557
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
5558
Rob Weir.
5559
5560
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
5561
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
5562
5563
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
5564
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
5565
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
5566
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5567
5568
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5569
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5570
5571
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5572
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5573
5574
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
5575
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
5576
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5577
5578
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
5579
for files with only a change to their executable status.
5580
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
5581
Robert Collins
5582
5583
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5584
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5585
5586
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5587
different partial views of history.
5588
5589
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5590
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5591
5592
IMPROVEMENTS:
5593
5594
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5595
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5596
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5597
5598
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5599
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5600
'bzr upgrade'.
5601
5602
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5603
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5604
5605
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5606
Niemeyer.
5607
5608
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5609
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5610
5611
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5612
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5613
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5614
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5615
5616
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5617
5618
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5619
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5620
Gustavo Niemeyer.
5621
5622
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5623
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5624
5625
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5626
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5627
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5628
5629
5630
INTERNALS:
5631
5632
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5633
for your viewing pleasure.
5634
5635
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5636
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5637
5638
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5639
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5640
handling of such circumstances.
5641
5642
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
5643
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
5644
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
5645
5646
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5647
5648
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5649
we call them revisions not patches.
5650
5651
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5652
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5653
5654
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
5655
giving the revision *of that file*.
5656
5657
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
5658
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
5659
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
5660
5661
TESTING:
5662
5663
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
5664
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
5665
5666
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
5667
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
5668
5669
5670
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
5671
--------------------
5672
5673
BUG FIXES:
5674
5675
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
5676
5677
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
5678
(Robert Collins).
5679
5680
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
5681
5682
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
5683
5684
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
5685
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5686
5687
IMPROVEMENTS:
5688
5689
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
5690
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
5691
5692
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
5693
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
5694
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
5695
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
5696
Robey Pointer
5697
5698
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
5699
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5700
5701
INTERNALS:
5702
5703
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
5704
5705
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
5706
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
5707
5708
5709
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
5710
--------------------
5711
5712
IMPROVEMENTS:
5713
5714
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
5715
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
5716
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
5717
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
5718
Michael Ellerman.
5719
5720
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
5721
(Nir Soffer)
5722
5723
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
5724
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
5725
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
5726
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
5727
for the operating system is still tried.
5728
5729
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
5730
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
5731
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
5732
5733
5734
INTERNALS:
5735
5736
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
5737
5738
BUG FIXES:
5739
5740
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
5741
5742
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
5743
branch.
5744
5745
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
5746
read.
5747
5748
5749
PORTABILITY:
5750
5751
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
5752
5753
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
5754
5755
5756
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
5757
--------------------
5758
5759
NEW FEATURES:
5760
5761
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
5762
help with intelligent shell completion.
5763
5764
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
5765
5766
5767
ENHANCEMENTS:
5768
5769
* Much better merge support.
5770
5771
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
5772
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
5773
like emacs smerge.
5774
5775
5776
BUG FIXES:
5777
5778
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
5779
mention revisions that are not present.
5780
5781
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
5782
5783
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
5784
5785
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
5786
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
5787
5788
5789
CHANGES:
5790
5791
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
5792
5793
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
5794
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
5795
--help themselves.
5796
5797
5798
LIBRARY:
5799
5800
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
5801
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
5802
libraries.
5803
5804
5805
5806
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
5807
--------------------
5808
5809
NEW FEATURES:
5810
5811
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
5812
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
5813
5814
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
5815
5816
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
5817
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
5818
5819
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
5820
FOO.
5821
5822
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
5823
5824
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
5825
the Unix command.
5826
5827
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
5828
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
5829
5830
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
5831
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
5832
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
5833
5834
5835
ENHANCEMENTS:
5836
5837
* Faster working tree operations.
5838
5839
5840
CHANGES:
5841
5842
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
5843
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
5844
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
5845
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
5846
5847
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
5848
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
5849
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
5850
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
5851
standard plugins directory.
5852
5853
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
5854
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
5855
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
5856
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
5857
5858
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
5859
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
5860
5861
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
5862
disk.
5863
5864
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
5865
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
5866
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
5867
5868
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
5869
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
5870
5871
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
5872
line options must come before the command name because they
5873
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
5874
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
5875
it.
5876
5877
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
5878
5879
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
5880
is available with ``--short``.
5881
5882
5883
BUG FIXES:
5884
5885
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
5886
5887
5888
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
5889
---------------------
5890
5891
CHANGES:
5892
5893
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
5894
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5895
5896
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
5897
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
5898
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
5899
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
5900
5901
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
5902
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
5903
with the ``--forward`` option.
5904
5905
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
5906
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
5907
field.
5908
5909
5910
ENHANCEMENTS:
5911
5912
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
5913
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
5914
5915
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
5916
5917
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
5918
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
5919
5920
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
5921
5922
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
5923
either read or write mode.
5924
5925
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
5926
5927
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
5928
affected that file.
5929
5930
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
5931
5932
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
5933
suggested by LarstiQ.
5934
5935
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
5936
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
5937
5938
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
5939
a filename.
5940
5941
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
5942
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
5943
5944
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
5945
haven't changed since the previous time.
5946
5947
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
5948
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
5949
5950
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
5951
5952
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
5953
5954
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
5955
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
5956
5957
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
5958
options through to an external GNU diff.
5959
5960
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
5961
their contents.
5962
5963
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
5964
from a branch.
5965
5966
5967
BUG FIXES:
5968
5969
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
5970
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
5971
5972
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
5973
metacharacters.
5974
5975
5976
TESTING:
5977
5978
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
5979
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
5980
the tests.
5981
5982
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
5983
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
5984
5985
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
5986
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
5987
5988
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
5989
under a different version.
5990
5991
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
5992
5993
5994
INTERNAL:
5995
5996
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
5997
5998
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
5999
Scott James Remnant.
6000
6001
* Better help messages for many commands.
6002
6003
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
6004
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
6005
6006
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
6007
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
6008
6009
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
6010
6011
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
6012
6013
* New AtomicFile class.
6014
6015
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
6016
6017
6018
PORTABILITY:
6019
6020
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
6021
2.4 is now only recommended.
6022
6023
6024
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
6025
---------------------
6026
6027
ENHANCEMENTS:
6028
6029
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
6030
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
6031
6032
* More default ignore patterns.
6033
6034
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
6035
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
6036
6037
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
6038
6039
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
6040
by Jason Diamon.
6041
6042

6043
6044
6045
CHANGES:
6046
6047
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
6048
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
6049
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
6050
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
6051
there are DNS problems.
6052
6053
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
6054
6055
6056

6063
trailing newlines properly.
6064
6065
6066
INTERNAL:
6067
6068
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
6069
Matt Brubeck.
6070
6071
* More tests in test.sh.
6072
6073

6074
directory and delete it when done.

6077
6078

6113
6114
PORTABILITY:
6115
6116
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
6117

6156
6157
* Performance improvements.
6158
6159
