IN DEVELOPMENT
9
--------------
10
11
IMPROVEMENTS:
12
13
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
14
15
BUGFIXES:
16
17
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
18
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
19
20
TESTING:
21
22
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
23
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
24
25
API CHANGES:
26
27
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
28
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
29
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
30
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
31
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
32
33
34
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
35
-----------------------
36
37
38
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
39
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
40
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
41
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
42
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
43
and future extensions.
44
45
46
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
47
48
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
49
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
50
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
51
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
52
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
53
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
54
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
55
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
56
57
CHANGES:
58
59
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
60
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
61
(John Arbash Meinel)
62
63
FEATURES:
64
65
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
66
load. (James Westby)
67
68
IMPROVEMENTS:
69
70
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
71
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
72
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
73
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
74
75
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
76
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
77
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
78
79
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
80
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
81
82
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
83
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
84
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
85
86
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
87
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
88
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
89
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
90
step closer to not using full revision history.
91
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
92
93
BUGFIXES:
94
95
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
96
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
97
98
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
99
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
100
101
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
102
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
103
104
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
105
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
106
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
107
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
108
109
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
110
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
111
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
112
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
113
114
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
115
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
116
in use by another process.
117
(Martin Pool)
118
119
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
120
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
121
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
122
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
123
124
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
125
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
126
127
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
128
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
129
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
130
131
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
132
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
133
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
134
135
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
136
them.
137
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
138
139
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
140
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
141
142
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
143
under vim on Mac OS X.
144
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
145
146
DOCUMENTATION:
147
148
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
149
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
150
151
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
152
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
153
(Ian Clatworthy)
154
155
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
156
and about use of Python reprs.
157
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
158
159
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
160
161
TESTING:
162
163
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
164
(Robert Collins)
165
166
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
167
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
168
169
* New helper function for splitting test suites
170
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
171
172
INTERNALS:
173
174
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
175
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
176
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
177
(John Arbash Meinel)
178
179
API CHANGES:
180
181
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
182
instead. (Martin Pool)
183
184
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
185
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
186
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
187
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
188
189
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
190
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
191
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
192
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
193
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
194
195
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
196
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
197
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
198
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
199
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
200
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
201
202
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
203
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
204
(Martin Pool)
205
206
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
207
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
208
(Robert Collins)
209
210
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
211
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
212
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
213
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
214
215
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
216
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
217
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
218
219
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
220
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
221
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
222
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
223
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
224
(Martin Pool)
225
226
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
227
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
228
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
229
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
230
(Robert Collins)
231
232
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
233
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
234
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
235
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
236
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
237
238
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
239
(Martin Pool)
240
241
242
bzr 1.5 2008-05-16
243
------------------
244
245
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
246
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
247
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
248
249
CHANGES:
250
251
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
252
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
253
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
254
255
DOCUMENTATION:
256
257
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
258
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
259
(Ian Clatworthy)
260
261
262
bzr 1.5rc1 2008-05-09
263
---------------------
264
265
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
266
267
CHANGES:
268
269
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
270
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
271
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
272
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
273
274
FEATURES:
275
276
IMPROVEMENTS:
277
278
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
279
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
280
281
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
282
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
283
284
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
285
(Aaron Bentley)
286
287
BUGFIXES:
288
289
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
290
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
291
292
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
293
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
294
295
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
296
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
297
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
298
299
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
300
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
301
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
302
303
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
304
(Andreas Deininger)
305
306
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
307
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
308
309
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
310
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
311
312
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
313
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
314
315
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
316
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
317
318
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
319
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
320
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
321
322
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
323
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
324
325
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
326
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
327
328
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
329
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
330
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
331
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
332
333
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
334
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
335
(Martin Pool)
336
337
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
338
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
339
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
340
341
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
342
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
343
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
344
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
345
every revision each side had in common.
346
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
347
348
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
349
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
350
351
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
352
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
353
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
354
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
355
356
DOCUMENTATION:
357
358
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
359
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
360
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
361
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
362
363
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
364
365
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
366
367
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
368
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
369
370
TESTING:
371
372
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
373
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
374
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
375
376
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
377
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
378
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
379
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
380
381
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
382
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
383
384
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
385
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
386
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
387
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
388
389
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
390
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
391
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
392
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
393
394
INTERNALS:
395
396
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
397
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
398
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
399
400
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
401
402
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
403
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
404
405
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
406
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
407
408
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
409
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
410
411
API CHANGES:
412
413
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
414
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
415
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
416
417
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
418
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
419
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
420
(Aaron Bentley)
421
422
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
423
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
424
(Martin Pool)
425
426
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
427
(Martin Pool)

bzr 1.4 2008-04-28
431
------------------
432
433
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
434
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
435
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
436
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
437
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
438
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
439
and faster performance.
440
441
BUG FIXES:
442
443
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
444
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
445
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
450
---------------------
451
452
BUG FIXES:
453
454
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
455
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
456
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
457
458
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
459
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
460
461
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
462
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
463
464
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
465
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
466
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
467
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
468
every revision each side had in common.

473
---------------------
474
475
CHANGES:
476
477
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
478
479
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
480
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
481
482
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
483
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
484
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
485
486
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
487
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
488
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
489
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
490
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
491
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
492
Andrew Cowie)
493
494
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
495
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
496
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
497
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
498
499
FEATURES:
500
501
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
502
503
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
504
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
505
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
506
507
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
508
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
509
See the User Reference for signature details.
510
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
511
512
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
513
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
514
515
IMPROVEMENTS:
516
517
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
518
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
519
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
520
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
521
522
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
523
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
524
525
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
526
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
527
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
528
Wouter van Heyst)
529
530
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
531
(Chad Miller)
532
533
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
534
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
535
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
536
537
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
538
(Aaron Bentley)
539
540
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
541
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
542
543
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
544
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
545
546
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
547
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
548
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
549
550
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
551
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
552
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
553
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
554
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
555
556
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
557
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
558
559
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
560
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
561
562
BUGFIXES:
563
564
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
565
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
566
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
567
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
568
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
569
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
570
571
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
572
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
573
574
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
575
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
576
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
577
578
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
579
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
580
581
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
582
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
583
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
584
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
585
586
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
587
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
588
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
589
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
590
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
591
592
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
593
594
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
595
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
596
597
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
598
599
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
600
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
601
602
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
603
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
604
605
DOCUMENTATION:
606
607
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
608
609
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
610
611
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
612
613
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
614
615
API BREAKS:
616
617
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
618
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
619
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
620
621
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
622
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
623
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
624
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
625
626
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
627
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
628
release. (James Westby)
629
630
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
631
(Andrew Bennetts)
632
633
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
634
635
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
636
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
637
638
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
639
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
640
641
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
642
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
643
644
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
645
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
646
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
647
648
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
649
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
650
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
651
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
652
653
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
654
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
655
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
656
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
657
658
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
659
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
660
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
661
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
662
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
663
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
664
665
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
666
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
667
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
668
669
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
670
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
671
672
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
673
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
674
(Robert Collins)
675
676
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
677
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
678
679
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
680
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
681
682
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
683
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
684
685
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
686
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
687
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
688
689
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
690
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
691
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
692
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
693
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
694
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
695
696
TESTING:
697
698
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
699
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
700
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
701
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
702
703
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
704
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
705
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
706
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
707
implement this).
708
(Vincent Ladeuil)
709
710
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
711
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
712
(Vincent Ladeuil)
713
714
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
715
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
716
717
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
718
719
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
720
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
721
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
722
723
INTERNALS:
724
725
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
726
727
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
728
(Martin Albisetti)
729
730
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
731
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
732
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
733
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
734
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
735
(Martin Pool, #109520)
736
737
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
738
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
739
740
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
741
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
742
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
743
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
744
745
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
746
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
747
748
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
749
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.3 2008-03-20
770
------------------
771
772
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
773
774
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
775
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
776
features have been added.
777
778
TESTING:
779
780
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
781

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
789
790
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
791
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
792
793
CHANGES:
794
795
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
796
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
797
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
798
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
799
(Robert Collins)
800
801
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
802
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
803
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
804
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
805
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
806
(Alexander Belchenko)
807
808
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
809
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
810
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
811
(Alexander Belchenko)
812
813
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
814
815
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
816
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
817
818
FEATURES:
819
820
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
821
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
822
823
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
824
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
825
(Jelmer Vernooij)
826
827
IMPROVEMENTS:
828
829
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
830
831
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
832
833
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
834
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
835
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
836
837
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
838
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
839
840
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
841
to. (Daniel Watkins)
842
843
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
844
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
845
(Alexander Belchenko)
846
847
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
848
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
849
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
850
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
851
852
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
853
(Daniel Watkins)
854
855
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
856
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
857
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
858
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
859
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
860
861
BUGFIXES:
862
863
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
864
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
865
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
866
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
867
868
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
869
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
870
871
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
872
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
873
874
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
875
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
876
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
877
878
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
879

880
881
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
882

884
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
885
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
886
887
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
888
889
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
890
891
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
892
symlinks (James Henstridge)
893
894
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
895
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
896
897
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
898
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
899
900
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
901
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
902
903
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
904
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
905
906
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
907
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
908
909
DOCUMENTATION:

911
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.

928
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
929
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
930
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
931
932
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
933
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
934
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
935
(Alexander Belchenko)
936
937
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
938
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
939
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
940
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
941
942
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
943
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
944
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
945
(Robert Collins)
946
947
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
948
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
949
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
950
951
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
952
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
953
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
954
955
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
956
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
957
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
958
format. (Robert Collins)

---------------------
971
972
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
973
974
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
975
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
976
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
977
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
978
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
979
(Andrew Bennetts)
980
981
CHANGES:
982
983
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
984
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
985
986
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
987
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
988
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
989
990
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
991
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
992
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
993
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
994
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
995
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
996
(Aaron Bentley)
997
998
FEATURES:
999
1000
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1001
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1002
1003
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1004
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1005
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1006
(Robert Collins)
1007
1008
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1009
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1010
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1011
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1012
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1013
1014
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1015
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1016
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1017
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1018
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1019
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1020
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1021
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1022
1023
IMPROVEMENTS:
1024
1025
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1026
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1027
1028
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1029
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1030
1031
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1032
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1033
1034
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1035
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1036
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1037
1038
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1039
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1040
(John Arbash Meinel)
1041
1042
BUGFIXES:
1043
1044
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1045
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1046
1047
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1048
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1049
1050
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1051
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1052
1053
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1054
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1055
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1056
1057
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1058
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1059
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1060
1061
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1062
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1063
1064
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1065
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1066
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1067
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1068
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1069
unittest runner.
1070
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1071
1072
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1073
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1074
#185907)
1075
1076
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1077
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1078
1079
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1080
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1081
1082
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1083
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1084
1085
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1086
more characters which should be considered valid.
1087
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1088
1089
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1090
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1091
1092
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1093
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1094
1095
API BREAKS:
1096
1097
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1098
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1099
1100
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1101
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1102
(Martin Pool)
1103
1104
TESTING:
1105
1106
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1107
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1108
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1109
1110
INTERNALS:
1111
1112
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1113
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1114
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1115
1116
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1117
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1118
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1119
1120
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1121
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1122
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1123
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1124
1125
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1126
1127
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1128
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1129
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1130
server. (Robert Collins)
1131
1132
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1133
operate. (Robert Collins)
1134
1135
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1136
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1137
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1138
1139
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1140
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1141
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1142
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1143
1144
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1145
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1146
1147
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1148
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1149
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1150
1151
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1152
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1153
1154
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1155
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1156
1157
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1158
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1159
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1160
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
1169
---------------------
1170
1171
CHANGES:
1172
1173
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1174
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1175
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1176
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1177
1178
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1179
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1180
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1181
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1182
1183
FEATURES:
1184
1185
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1186
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1187
1188
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1189
(Aaron Bentley)
1190
1191
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1192
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1193
1194
IMPROVEMENTS:
1195
1196
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1197
#90049)
1198
1199
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1200
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1201
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1202
1203
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1204
1205
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1206
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1207
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1208
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1209
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1210
1211
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1212
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1213
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1214
1215
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1216
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1217
1218
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1219
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1220
1221
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1222
1223
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1224
1225
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1226
(Aaron Bentley)
1227
1228
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1229
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1230
1231
BUGFIXES:
1232
1233
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1234
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1235
1236
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1237
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1238
1239
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1240
(Aaron Bentley)
1241
1242
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1243
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1244
1245
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1246
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1247
1248
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1249
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1250
1251
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1252
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1253
1254
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1255
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1256
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1257
1258
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1259
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1260
1261
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1262
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1263
(Aaron Bentley)
1264
1265
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1266
1267
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1268
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1269
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1270
1271
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1272
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1273
1274
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1275
(Aaron Bentley)
1276
1277
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1278
#148087)
1279
1280
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1281
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1282
1283
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1284
#137681)
1285
1286
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1287
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1288
(Aaron Bentley)
1289
1290
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1291
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
1292
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
1293
1294
DOCUMENTATION:
1295
1296
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1297
(Ian Clatworthy)
1298
1299
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1300
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1301
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1302
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1303
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1304
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1305
1306
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1307
1308
INTERNALS:
1309
1310
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
1311

1312
1313
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
1314
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1315
1316
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1317
1318
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1319
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1320
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1321
Robert Collins)
1322
1323
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1324
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1325
1326
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
1327
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1328
1329
API BREAKS:
1330
1331
TESTING:
1332
1333
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
1334
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1335
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
1336
1337
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1338
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1339
(Robert Collins)
1340
1341
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1342
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1343
1344
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
1345
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1346
1347
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1348
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1349
1350
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
1351
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
1352
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1353
1354
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1355
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1356
1357
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
1358
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1359
1360
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
1361
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
1362
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1363
1364
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
1365
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
1366
1367
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
1368
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

1404
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
1405
feedback but also incur more latency.
1406
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
1407
1408
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
1409
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
1410
1411
DOCUMENTATION:
1412
1413
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1414
1415
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
1416
(Ian Clatworthy)
1417
1418
INTERNALS:
1419
1420
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
1421
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
1422
wraps its output in a StringIO.

1429
IMPROVEMENTS:
1430
1431
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1432
1433
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
1434
(Aaron Bentley)
1435
1436
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
1437
Nordhoff, #172612)
1438
1439
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1440
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1441
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
1442
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1443
1444
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
1445
(Kent Gibson)
1446
1447
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1448
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1449
1450
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1451
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1452
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1453
1454
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1455
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1456
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1457
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1458
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1459
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1460
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1461
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1462
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
1463
1464
INTERNALS:
1465
1466
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
1467
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1468
1469
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
1470
1471
BUGFIXES:
1472
1473
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
1474
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
1475
1476
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
1477
filename to user.
1478
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1479
1480
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1481
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1482
required.
1483
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
1484
1485
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1486
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
1487
1488
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
1489
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
1490
1491
API BREAKS:
1492
1493
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
1494
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)

bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
1498
---------------------
1499
1500
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1501
1502
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1503
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1504
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1505
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1506
1507
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1508
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1509
1510
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1511
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1512
1513
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1514
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1515
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1516
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1517
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1518
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1519
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1520
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1521
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1522
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1523
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1524
from any tree without problems.
1525
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
1526
1527
CHANGES:
1528
1529
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1530
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1531
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1532
1533
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
1534
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
1535
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
1536
(Martin Pool)
1537
1538
FEATURES:
1539
1540
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
1541
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
1542
supported transports.
1543
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1544
1545
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
1546
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
1547
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
1548
1549
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1550
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1551
1552
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
1553
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
1554
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
1555
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
1556
1557
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
1558
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
1559
1560
PERFORMANCE:
1561
1562
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
1563
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
1564
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
1565
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1566
1567
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
1568
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
1569
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
1570
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
1571
1572
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
1573
(Robert Collins, #88319)
1574
1575
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
1576
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
1577
1578
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1579
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1580
1581
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1582
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1583
(Aaron Bentley)
1584
1585
IMPROVEMENTS:
1586
1587
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1588
(Aaron Bentley)
1589
1590
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1591
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1592
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1593
1594
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1595
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1596
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1597
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1598
1599
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1600
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1601
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1602
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
1603
1604
DOCUMENTATION:
1605
1606
BUG FIXES:
1607
1608
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
1609
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
1610
1611
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
1612
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
1613
1614
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
1615
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
1616
1617
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
1618
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
1619
1620
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
1621
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
1622
1623
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
1624
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
1625
1626
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
1627
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
1628
1629
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
1630
(Aaron Bentley)
1631
1632
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
1633
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
1634
1635
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
1636
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
1637
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
1638
1639
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
1640
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
1641
1642
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
1643
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
1644
1645
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
1646
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
1647
1648
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
1649
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
1650
1651
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
1652
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
1653
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
1654
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
1655
on them.
1656
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1657
1658
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
1659
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1660
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
1661
1662
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
1663
(Robert Collins, #161240)
1664
1665
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
1666
to be reconciled.
1667
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1668
1669
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1670
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1671
1672
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1673
specify a port in urls.
1674
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1675
1676
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
1677
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
1678
1679
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
1680
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
1681
1682
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
1683
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
1684
1685
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
1686
(Robert Collins, #153789)
1687
1688
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
1689
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
1690
(Robert Collins, #165304).
1691
1692
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
1693
1694
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
1695
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
1696
1697
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
1698
Watkins, #152811)
1699
1700
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
1701
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
1702
1703
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
1704
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
1705
1706
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
1707
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
1708
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
1709
1710
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
1711
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
1712
1713
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
1714
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
1715
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
1716
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
1717
1718
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
1719
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
1720
1721
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
1722
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
1723
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
1724
1725
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
1726
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
1727
1728
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
1729
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
1730
1731
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
1732
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
1733
1734
API BREAKS:
1735
1736
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
1737
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
1738
1739
* The return value of
1740
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
1741
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
1742
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
1743
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
1744
1745
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
1746
(Robert Collins)
1747
1748
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
1749
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
1750
format.
1751
(Martin Pool)
1752
1753
INTERNALS:
1754
1755
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
1756
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
1757
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
1758
Bennetts)
1759
1760
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
1761
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
1762
1763
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

1779
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1780
1781
CHANGES:
1782
1783
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
1784
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
1785
1786
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
1787
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
1788
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
1789
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
1790
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
1791
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
1792
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
1793
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
1794
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
1795
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
1796
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
1797
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
1798
(Robert Collins)
1799
1800
FEATURES:
1801
1802
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
1803
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
1804
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
1805
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
1806
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
1807
for further details. (Robert Collins)
1808
1809
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
1810
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
1811
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
1812
(Robert Collins)
1813
1814
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
1815
1816
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
1817
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
1818
1819
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
1820
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
1821
(Aaron Bentley)
1822
1823
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
1824
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
1825
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
1826
1827
PERFORMANCE:
1828
1829
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
1830
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1831
1832
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
1833
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
1834
1835
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
1836
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
1837
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
1838
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
1839
1840
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
1841
(Robert Collins)
1842
1843
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
1844
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
1845
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
1846
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
1847
1848
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
1849
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
1850
1851
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
1852
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1853
1854
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
1855
the contents. (Robert Collins)
1856
1857
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
1858
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
1859
1860
IMPROVEMENTS:
1861
1862
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
1863
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
1864
1865
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
1866
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
1867
1868
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
1869
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
1870
1871
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.

* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
1875
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
1876
1877
DOCUMENTATION:
1878
1879
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
1880
1881
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
1882
(Ian Clatworthy)
1883
1884
BUG FIXES:
1885
1886
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
1887
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
1888
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
1889
1890
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
1891
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
1892
1893
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
1894
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
1895
1896
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
1897
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
1898
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
1899
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
1900
1901
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
1902
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
1903
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
1904
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
1905
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
1906
1907
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
1908
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
1909
paramiko.
1910
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
1911
1912
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1913
1914
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
1915
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
1916
1917
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
1918
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
1919
1920
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
1921
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
1922
1923
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
1924
contains a symbolic link.
1925
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
1926
1927
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
1928
(James Westby, #140615)
1929
1930
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
1931
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
1932
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
1933
1934
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
1935
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
1936
(Martin Pool, #144633)
1937
1938
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1939
1940
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
1941
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
1942
1943
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
1944
will remain opened.
1945
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
1946
1947
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
1948
directory to detect leaking tests.
1949
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
1950
1951
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
1952
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
1953
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
1954
1955
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
1956
(Rob Weir, #141629)
1957
1958
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
1959
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
1960
1961
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
1962
Merwe)
1963
1964
API BREAKS:
1965
1966
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
1967
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
1968
1969
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
1970
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
1971
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
1972
1973
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
1974
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
1975
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
1976
1977
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
1978
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
1979
1980
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
1981
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
1982
1983
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
1984
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
1985
(Martin Pool)
1986
1987
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
1988
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
1989
1990
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
1991
class that needs it.
1992
(Martin Pool)
1993
1994
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
1995
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
1996
1997
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
1998
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
1999
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2000
2001
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2002
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2003
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2004
(Robert Collins)
2005
2006
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2007
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2008
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2009
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2010
(Robert Collins)
2011
2012
INTERNALS:
2013
2014
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2015
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2016
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2017
2018
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2019
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2020
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2021
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2022
2023
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2024
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2025
(Robert Collins)
2026
2027
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2028
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2029
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2030
2031
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2032
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2033
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2034
2035
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2036
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2037
2038
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2039
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2040
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2041
2042
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2043
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2044
2045
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2046
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2047
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2048
2049
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2050
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2051
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2052
2053
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2054
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2055
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2056
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2057
2058
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2059
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2060
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2061
returned. (Robert Collins)
2062
2063
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2064
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2065
2066
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2067
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2068
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2069
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2070
(Robert Collins)
2071
2072
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2073
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2074
2075
TESTING:
2076
2077
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2078
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2079
2080
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2081
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2082
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2083
makes this behavior available to other users.
2084
(Martin Pool)
2085
2086
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2087
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
2088
2089
2090
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
2091
-------------------
2092
2093
BUG FIXES:
2094
2095
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2096
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2097
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2098
2099
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2100
2101
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2102
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2103
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2104
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2105
2106
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2107
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
2108
(Andrew Bennetts)
2109
2110
2111
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
2112
----------------------
2113
2114
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
2115
in bzrlib/remote.py.
2116
2117
2118
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
2119
----------------------
2120
2121
CHANGES:
2122
2123
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
2124
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
2125
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
2126
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
2127
(Martin Pool)
2128
2129
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
2130
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
2131
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
2132
(Ian Clatworthy)
2133
2134
FEATURES:
2135
2136
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
2137
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
2138
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
2139
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2140
2141
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
2142
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
2143
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
2144
2145
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2146
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2147
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2148
2149
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2150
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2151
2152
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
2153
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
2154
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
2155
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
2156
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
2157
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
2158
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
2159
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
2160
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
2161
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
2162
2163
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2164
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2165
2166
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
2167
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
2168
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2169
2170
BUG FIXES:
2171
2172
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2173
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2174
2175
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
2176
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
2177
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
2178
2179
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2180
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2181
2182
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2183
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2184
2185
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2186
(Aaron Bentley)
2187
2188
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2189
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2190
2191
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2192
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2193
2194
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2195
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2196
2197
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2198
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2199
2200
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2201
2202
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2203
Watkins, #106726)
2204
2205
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
2206
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
2207
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
2208
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
2209
2210
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2211
2212
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
2213
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
2214
#133548)
2215
2216
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2217
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2218
2219
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2220
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2221
#116143)
2222
2223
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2224
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2225
2226
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2227
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2228
2229
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
2230
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
2231
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
2232
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
2233
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
2234
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
2235
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
2236
2237
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2238
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2239
2240
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2241
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2242
2243
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2244
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2245
2246
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2247
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2248
2249
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2250
connections.
2251
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2252
2253
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2254
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
2255
2256
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
2257
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
2258
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
2259
2260
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2261
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2262
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2263
2264
IMPROVEMENTS:
2265
2266
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2267
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2268
2269
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2270
(Aaron Bentley)
2271
2272
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2273
(Aaron Bentley)
2274
2275
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2276
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2277
2278
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2279
2280
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2281
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2282
2283
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2284
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2285
2286
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
2287
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
2288
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
2289
space). (Robert Collins)
2290
2291
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2292
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2293
(Ian Clatworthy)
2294
2295
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2296
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2297
2298
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2299
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2300
2301
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
2302
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
2303
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
2304
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
2305
2306
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
2307
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
2308
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
2309
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2310
2311
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
2312
(Ian Clatworthy)
2313
2314
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
2315
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
2316
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
2317
2318
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
2319
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
2320
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
2321
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
2322
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
2323
2324
API BREAKS:
2325
2326
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
2327
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2328
2329
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
2330
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
2331
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
2332
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
2333
affected. (Robert Collins)
2334
2335
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
2336
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
2337
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
2338
(Robert Collins)
2339
2340
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2341
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2342
2343
TESTING:
2344
2345
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
2346
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
2347
2348
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
2349
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2350
2351
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2352
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2353
2354
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
2355
(Aaron Bentley)
2356
2357
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
2358
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2359
2360
INTERNALS:
2361
2362
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
2363
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
2364
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
2365
its version information. (Robert Collins)
2366
2367
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
2368
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2369
2370
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
2371
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
2372
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
2373
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2374
2375
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
2376
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
2377
present. (Robert Collins)
2378
2379
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
2380
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
2381
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
2382
API. (Robert Collins)
2383
2384
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
2385
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
2386
(Robert Collins)
2387
2388
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
2389
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
2390
2391
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
2392
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
2393
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
2394
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
2395
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
2396
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
2397
2398
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
2399
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
2400
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
2401
2402
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
2403
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
2404
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
2405
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
2406
protocol.
2407
2408
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
2409
(Aaron Bentley)
2410
2411
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
2412
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
2413
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
2414
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
2415
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
2416
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
2417
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
2418
2419
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
2420
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
2421
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
2422
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
2423
2424
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
2425
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
2426
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
2427
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
2428
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
2429
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
2430
2431
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
2432
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
2433
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
2434
2435
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
2436
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

-------------------
2441
2442
IMPROVEMENTS:
2443
2444
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2445
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2446
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2447
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2448
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2449
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2450
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
2452
2453
2454
API CHANGES:
2455
2456
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2457
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2458
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
2459
2460
2461
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
2462
----------------------
2463
2464
BUGFIXES:
2465
2466
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2467
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2468
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2469
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2470
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2471
2472
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2473
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2474
2475
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2476
anymore.
2477
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2478
2479
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2480
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2481
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2482
2483
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2484
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2485
#111664)
2486
2487
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2488
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2489
2490
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2491
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2492
2493
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2494
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2495
2496
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2497
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2498
2499
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2500
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2501
2502
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2503
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2504
2505
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2506
(Aaron Bentley)
2507
2508
IMPROVEMENTS:
2509
2510
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2511
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2512
2513
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2514
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2515
2516
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2517
the repository (Robert Collins)
2518
2519
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2520
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2521
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2522
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2523
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2524
2525
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2526
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2527
2528
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2529
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2530
(John Arbash Meinel)
2531
2532
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2533
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2534
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2535
about 10%).
2536
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2537
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2538
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2539
(John Arbash Meinel)
2540
2541
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2542
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2543
(Robert Collins)
2544
2545
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2546
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2547
2548
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2549
(Ian Clatworthy)
2550
2551
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2552
2553
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2554
2555
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2556
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2557
2558
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2559
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2560
Meinel)
2561
2562
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2563
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2564
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2565
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2566
2567
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2568
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
2569
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
2570
2571
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
2572
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
2573
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
2574
2575
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2576
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2577
2578
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2579
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2580
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2581
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2582
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2583
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2584
(Ian Clatworthy)
2585
2586
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2587
(Alexander Belchenko)
2588
2589
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2590
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2591
2592
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2593
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2594
2595
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2596
2597
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2598
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2599
2600
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2601
2602
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2603
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2604
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2605
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2606
2607
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2608
2609
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2610
(Robert Collins)
2611
2612
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2613
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2614
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2615
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2616
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2617
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2618
2619
INTERNALS:
2620
2621
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2622
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2623
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2624
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2625
2626
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2627
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2628
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2629
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2630
tests have been refactored too.
2631
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2632
2633
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2634
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2635
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2636
list, it will.
2637
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2638
2639
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2640
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2641
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2642
2643
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2644
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2645
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2646
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2647
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2648
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2649
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2650
2651
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2652
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2653
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2654
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2655
(John Arbash Meinel)
2656
2657
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2658
functionality for testing.
2659
2660
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2661
2662
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2663
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2664
2665
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2666
2667
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2668
(Robert Collins)
2669
2670
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2671
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2672
2673
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2674
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2675
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2676
2677
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2678
(Aaron Bentley)
2679
2680
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2681
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2682
2683
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2684
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2685
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2686
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2687
2688
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2689
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2690
2691
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2692
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2693
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2694
2695
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2696
(Marius Kruger)
2697
2698
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2699
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2700
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2701
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2702
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
2703
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2704
2705
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
2706
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
2707
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
2708
many files. (Robert Collins)
2709
2710
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
2711
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
2712
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
2713
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
2714
2715
TESTING:
2716
2717
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
2718
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
2719
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
2720
2721
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
2722
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
2723
2724
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
2725
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
2726
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

2747
(James Westby, #122656)

* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2784
2785
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
2786
2787
IMPROVEMENTS:
2788
2789
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
2790
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
2791
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
2792
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
2793
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
2794
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
2795
2796
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
2797
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
2798
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
2799
2800
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
2801
(Elliot Murphy)
2802
2803
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
2804
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
2805
2806
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
2807
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
2808
2809
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
2810
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
2811
2812
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
2813
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
2814
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
2815
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
2816
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
2817
2818
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
2819
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
2820
2821
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
2822
can be slow it is useful feedback).
2823
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
2824
2825
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
2826
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
2827
2828
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
2829
2830
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
2831
output. (Aaron Bentley)
2832
2833
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
2834
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
2835
(Robert Collins)
2836
2837
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
2838
(Martin Pool)
2839
2840
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
2841
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
2842
2843
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
2844
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
2845
2846
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
2847
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
2848
2849
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
2850
2851
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
2852
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
2853
2854
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
2855
(Andrew Bennetts)
2856
2857
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2858
2859
* Testing cleanups -
2860
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2861
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
2862
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2863
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
2864
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2865
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
2866
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2867
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
2868
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2869
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
2870
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
2871
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
2872
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2873
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
2874
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2875
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
2876
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
2877
(Robert Collins)
2878
2879
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
2880
2881
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
2882
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
2883
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
2884
2885
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
2886
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
2887
2888
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
2889
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2890
2891
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
2892
2893
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
2894
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
2895
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
2896
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
2897
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
2898
same location. (Robert Collins)
2899
2900
INTERNALS:
2901
2902
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
2903
2904
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
2905
2906
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
2907
2908
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
2909
(Martin Pool)
2910
2911
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
2912
(Martin Pool)
2913
2914
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
2915
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
2916
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
2917
2918
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
2919
2920
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
2921
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
2922
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
2923
2924
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
2925
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
2926
2927
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
2928
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
2929
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
2930
2931
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
2932
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
2933
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
2934
2935
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
2936
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
2937
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
2938
2939
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
2940
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
2941
Martin Pool)
2942
2943
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
2944
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
2945
2946
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
2947
(Alexander Belchenko)
2948
2949
TESTING:
2950
2951
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
2952
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
2953
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
2954
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2955
2956
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
2957
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
2958
testing. (Robert Collins)
2959
2960
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
2961
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
2962
2963
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
2964
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
2965
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
2966
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
2967
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
2968
attribute during the test parameterisation in
2969
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
2970
2971
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
2972
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
2973
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
2974
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
2975
2976
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
2977
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
2978
2979
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
2980
avoid useless cloning.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3000
3001
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3002
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3003
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3004
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3005
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3006
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3007
and unlock() like so::
3008
3009
work_tree.lock_read()
3010
try:
3011
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3012
finally:
3013
work_tree.unlock()
3014
3015
INTERNALS:
3016
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3017
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3018
object.
3019
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3020
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3021
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3022
3023
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3024
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3025
too. (Robert Collins)
3026
3027
IMPROVEMENTS:
3028
3029
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3030
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3031
Aaron Bentley)
3032
3033
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3034
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3035
3036
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3037
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3038
3039
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3040
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3041
understanding what changes have occurred
3042
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3043
3044
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3045
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3046
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3047
3048
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3049
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3050
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3051
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3052
3053
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3054
#56322)
3055
3056
BUGFIXES:
3057
3058
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3059
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3060
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3061
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3062
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3063
3064
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3065
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3066
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3067
3068
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3069
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3070
3071
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3072
into account.
3073
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3074
3075
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3076
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3077
3078
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3079
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3080
3081
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3082
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3083
3084
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3085
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3086
3087
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3088
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3089
3090
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3091
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3092
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
3095
--------------------
3096
3097
BUGFIXES:
3098
3099
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3100
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3101
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3102
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3103
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3104
3105
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3106
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3107
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3108
3109
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3110
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3111
3112
IMPROVEMENTS:
3113
3114
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3115
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3116
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3117
3118
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3119
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3120
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3121
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

3123
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
3124
-----------------------
3125
3126
BUGFIXES:
3127
3128
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
3129
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
3130
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
3131
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
3132
3133
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
3134
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
3135
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
3136
3137
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
3138
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
3139
3140
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
3141
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
3142
3143
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
3144
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
3145
3146
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
3147
-----------------------
3148
3149
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3150
3151
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
3152
it could be recovered again.
3153
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
3154
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
3155
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
3156
but not delete it.
3157
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
3158
files.
3159
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
3160
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
3161
3162
IMPROVEMENTS:
3163
3164
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
3165
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
3166
3167
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
3168
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
3169
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
3170
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
3171
3172
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
3173
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
3174
3175
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
3176
tests with names that match that regular expression.
3177
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
3178
3179
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
3180
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
3181
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
3182
3183
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
3184
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
3185
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
3186
3187
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
3188
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
3189
Robert Collins)
3190
3191
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
3192
Pool)
3193
3194
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
3195
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
3196
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
3197
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
3198
3199
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
3200
(Robert Collins)
3201
3202
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
3203
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
3204
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
3205
(Robert Collins)
3206
3207
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
3208
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
3209
3210
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
3211
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
3212
3213
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
3214
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
3215
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
3216
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
3217
(Robert Collins)
3218
3219
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
3220
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
3221
3222
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
3223
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3224
3225
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
3226
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
3227
(Robert Collins, #107125).
3228
3229
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
3230
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
3231
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
3232
3233
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
3234
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
3235
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3236
3237
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
3238
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
3239
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
3240
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
3241
3242
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
3243
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
3244
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
3245
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
3246
3247
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
3248
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
3249
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
3250
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
3251
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
3252
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
3253
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
3254
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
3255
header(s).
3256

3258
INTERNALS:
3259
3260
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
3261
code paths. (Robert Collins)
3262
3263
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
3264
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
3265
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
3266
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
3267
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3268
3269
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
3270
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
3271
3272
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
3273
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
3274
3275
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
3276
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
3277
3278
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
3279
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
3280
3281
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
3282
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
3283
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
3284
(Robert Collins).
3285
3286
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
3287
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
3288
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
3289
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
3290
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
3291
(Robert Collins)
3292
3293
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
3294
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
3295
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
3296
3297
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
3298
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
3299
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3300
3301
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
3302
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
3303
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
3304
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3305
3306
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
3307
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
3308
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
3309
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
3310
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
3311
3312
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
3313
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
3314
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
3315
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3316
3317
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
3318
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3319
3320
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
3321
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
3322
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
3323
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
3324
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
3325
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
3326
3327
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
3328
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
3329
3330
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
3331
help. (Robert Collins)
3332
3333
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
3334
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3335
3336
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
3337
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
3338
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
3339
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
3340
(John Arbash Meinel)
3341
3342
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
3343
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
3344
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
3345
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
3346
useful. (Robert Collins)
3347
3348
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".

* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
3354
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
3355
3356
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
3357
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
3358
3359
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
3360
properly and is no longer beneficial.
3361
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
3362
3363
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
3364
(Aaron Bentley)
3365
3366
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
3367
the file, and does it faster.
3368
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
3369
3370
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
3371
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
3372
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
3373
3374
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
3375
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
3376
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
3377
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
3378
3379
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
3380
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
3381
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
3382
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
3383
3384
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
3385
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
3386
3387
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
3388
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
3389
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
3390
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
3391
Arbash Meinel)
3392
3393
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
3394
3395
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
3396
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
3397
3398
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
3399
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
3400
3401
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
3402
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
3403
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
3404
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
3405
security hole.
3406
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3407
3408
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3409
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3410
3411
TESTING:
3412
3413
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3414
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3415
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3416
3417
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3418
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3419
3420
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3421
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3422
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3423
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3424
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3425
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3426
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3427
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3428
3429
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3430
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3431
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3432
3433
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3434
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3435
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
3436
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
3437
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3438
access.
3439
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3440
3441
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3442
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3443
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3444
3445
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3446
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
3465

* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
3467
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
3468
(Martin Pool)
3469
3470
IMPROVEMENTS:
3471
3472
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3473
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3474
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3475
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3476
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3477
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3478
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3479
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3480
path. (vila)
3481
3482
INTERNALS:
3483
3484
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3485
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3486
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3487
3488
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3489
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3490
(Martin Pool)
3491
3492
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3493
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3494
(John Arbash Meinel)
3495
3496
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3497
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3498
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3499
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3500
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3501
3502
BUGFIXES:
3503

3507
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3508
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3509
3510
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3511
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3512
3513
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3514
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3515
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3516
3517
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3518
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3519
3520
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3521
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3522
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3523
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3524
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3525
3526
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3527
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3528
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3529
3530
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

3534
-----------------------
3535
3536
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3537
3538
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3539
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3540
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3541
3542
IMPROVEMENTS:
3543
3544
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3545
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3546
3547
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3548
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3549
3550
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3551
3552
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3553
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3554
3555
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3556
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3557
3558
INTERNALS:
3559
3560
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3561
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
3562
3563
BUGFIXES:
3564
3565
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3566
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3567
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3568
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3569
3570
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3571
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3572
3573
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3574
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3575
3576
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3577
(Marien Zwart)
3578
3579
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
3584
-----------------------
3585
3586
SURPRISES:
3587
3588
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
3589
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
3590
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
3591
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
3592
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
3593
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
3594
3595
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
3596
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
3597
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
3598
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
3599
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
3600
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
3601
development.
3602
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3603
3604
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
3605
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
3606
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
3607
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
3608
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
3609
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
3610
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
3611
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3612
3613
IMPROVEMENTS:
3614
3615
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3616
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3617
3618
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
3619
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
3620
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
3621
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
3622
does exist.
3623
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
3624
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
3625
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
3626
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
3627
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
3628
3629
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
3630
(Aaron Bentley)
3631
3632
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3633
(Aaron Bentley)
3634
3635
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3636
(Robert Collins)
3637
3638
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3639
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3640
(Aaron Bentley)
3641
3642
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3643
(Aaron Bentley)
3644
3645
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3646
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3647
3648
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3649
directory. (Martin Pool)
3650
3651
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3652
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3653
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3654
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3655
3656
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3657
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3658
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3659
in docs/configuration.txt.
3660
3661
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3662
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
3663
bind location.
3664
3665
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
3666
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
3667
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
3668
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
3669
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
3670
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3671
3672
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3673
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3674
3675
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3676
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3677
3678
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.

* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
3684
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
3685
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
3686
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
3687
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
3688
(John Arbash Meinel)
3689
3690
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
3691
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
3692
(Aaron Bentley)
3693
3694
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
3695
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
3696
(John Arbash Meinel)
3697
3698
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
3699
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
3700
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
3701
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
3702
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
3703
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
3704
3705
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
3706
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
3707
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
3708
3709
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
3710
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
3711
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
3712
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
3713
repository.
3714
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3715
3716
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
3717
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
3718
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
3719
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
3720
3721
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
3722
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
3723
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
3724
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
3725
3726
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
3727
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
3728
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
3729
3730
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
3731
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
3732
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
3733
3734
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
3735
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
3736
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
3737
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
3738
3739
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
3740
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
3741
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
3742
3743
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
3744
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
3745
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
3746
3747
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
3748
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
3749
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
3750
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
3751
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
3752
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
3753
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
3754
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
3755
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
3758
3759
BUGFIXES:
3760
3761
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
3762
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
3763
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
3764
3765
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
3766
(Aaron Bentley)
3767
3768
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
3769
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
3770
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
3771
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
3772
3773
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
3774
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
3775
#83954).
3776
3777
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
3778
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
3779
3780
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
3781
3782
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
3783
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
3784
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
3785
3786
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
3787
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
3788
3789
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
3790
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
3791
3792
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
3793
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
3794
3795
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
3796
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
3797
3798
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
3799
3800
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
3801
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
3802
3803
TESTING:
3804
3805

3812
IMPROVEMENTS:
3813
3814
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
3815
3816
BUG FIXES:
3817
3818
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
3819
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
3820
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
3821
3822
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
3823
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
3824
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

3827
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
3828
-----------------------
3829
3830
IMPROVEMENTS:
3831
3832
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
3833
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
3834
server, then you can write over the http connection.
3835
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3836
3837
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
3838
(Marius Kruger)
3839
3840
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
3841
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
3842
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3843
3844
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
3845
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
3846
3847
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
3848
(Aaron Bentley)
3849
3850
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
3851
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
3852
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
3853
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
3854
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
3855
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
3856
3857
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
3858
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
3859
should enable you to do::
3860
3861
[/home/user/project]
3862
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
3863
push_location:policy = appendpath
3864
3865
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
3866
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
3867
(James Henstridge)
3868
3869
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
3870
for each file. For example::
3871
3872
$ bzr status --short
3873
A foo
3874
A bar
3875
D baz
3876
? wooley
3877
3878
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
3879
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
3880
3881
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
3882
3883
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
3884
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
3885
3886
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
3887
3888
INTERNALS:
3889
3890
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
3891
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
3892
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
3893
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
3894
3895
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
3896
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
3897
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
3898
3899
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3900
3901
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
3902
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
3903
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
3904
(Alexander Belchenko)
3905
3906
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
3907
Pool)
3908
3909
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
3910
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
3911
3912
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
3913
3914
BUG FIXES:
3915
3916
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
3917
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
3918
3919
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
3920
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
3921
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
3922
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
3923
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
3924
3925
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
3926
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
3927
3928
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
3929
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
3930
3931
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
3932
matcher.
3933
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
3934
3935
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
3936
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
3937
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
3938
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
3939
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
3940
3941
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
3942
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
3943
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
3944
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
3945
3946
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
3947
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
3948
3949
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
3950
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
3951
3952
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
3953
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
3954
3955
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
3968
3969
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
3970
tree from a branch.
3971
(Daniel Silverstone)
3972
3973
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
3974
operations are substantially faster.
3975
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
3976
3977
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
3978
tree from some other url. For example:
3979
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
3980
(Daniel Silverstone)
3981
3982
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
3983
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
3984
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
3985
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
3986
3987
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
3988
(Andrew Bennetts)
3989
3990
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
3991
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
3992
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
3993
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
3994
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
3995
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
3996
3997
INTERNALS:
3998
3999
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4000
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4001
(Martin Pool)
4002
4003
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4004
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4005
(John Arbash Meinel)
4006
4007
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4008
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4009
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4010
(John Arbash Meinel)
4011
4012
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4013
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4014
4015
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4016
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4017
4018
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4019
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4020
Bennetts)
4021
4022
BUG FIXES:
4023
4024
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4025
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4026
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4027
4028
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4029
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4030
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4031
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4032
4033
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4034
4035
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4036
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4037
4038
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4039
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4040
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4041
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4042
4043
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4044
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4045
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4046
4047
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4048
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4049
them as full references rather than integers.
4050
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4051
4052
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4053
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4054
4055
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4056
4057
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4058
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4059
4060
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4061
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4062
4063
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4064
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4065
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4066
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4067
4068
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4069
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4070
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4071
4072
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4073
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4074
4075
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4076
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4077
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4078
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4079
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4080
4081
TESTING:
4082
4083
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4084
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

4096
-----------------------
4097
4098
IMPROVEMENTS:
4099
4100
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4101
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4102
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4103
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4104
4105
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4106
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4107
4108
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4109
4110
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4111
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4112
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4113
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4114
4115
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4116
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4117
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4118
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4119
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4120
4121
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4122
4123
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4124
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4125
4126
INTERNALS:
4127
4128
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4129
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4130
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4131
4132
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4133
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4134
(John Arbash Meinel)
4135
4136
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4137
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4138
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4139
4140
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4141
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4142
(Aaron Bentley)
4143
4144
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4145
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4146
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4147
4148
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4149
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4150
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4151
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4152
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4153
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4154
4155
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4156
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4157
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4158
(Robert Collins)
4159
4160
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4161
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4162
4163
BUG FIXES:
4164
4165
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4166
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4167
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4168
#63360, #66349)
4169
4170
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4171
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
4172
4173
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4174
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4175
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4176
4177
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4178
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4179
4180
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4181
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4182
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4183
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4184
4185
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4186
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4187
4188
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4189
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4190
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4191
4192
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4193
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4194
4195
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4196
4197
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4198
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4199
#32054)
4200
4201
TESTING:
4202
4203
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4204
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4205
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4206
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4207
4208
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4209
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4210
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4211
4212
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
4213
--------------------
4214
4215
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
4216
4217
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
4218
-----------------------
4219
4220
BUG FIXES:
4221
4222
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
4223
4224
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
4225
Arbash Meinel).
4226
4227
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
4228
-----------------------
4229
4230
IMPROVEMENTS:
4231
4232
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
4233
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
4234
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
4235
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
4236
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
4237
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
4238
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
4239
4240
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
4241
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
4242
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
4243
4244
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
4245
4246
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
4247
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
4248
4249
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
4250
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
4251
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
4252
(Robert Collins)
4253
4254
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
4255
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
4256
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
4257
(John Arbash Meinel)
4258
4259
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
4260
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
4261
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
4262
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
4263
Pool)
4264
4265
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
4266
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
4267
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
4268
(John Arbash Meinel)
4269
4270
BUG FIXES:
4271
4272
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
4273
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
4274
4275
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
4276
4277
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
4278
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
4279
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
4280
4281
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
4282
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
4283
4284
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
4285
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
4286
4287
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
4288
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
4289
4290
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
4291
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
4292
4293
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
4294
4295
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
4296
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
4297
4298
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
4299
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
4300
4301
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
4302
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
4303
4304
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
4305
(John Arbash Meinel)
4306
4307
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
4308
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
4309
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
4310
4311
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
4312
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4313
4314
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
4315
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
4316
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
4317
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
4318
4319
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
4320
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
4321
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
4322
4323
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
4324
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
4325
4326
PORTABILITY:
4327
4328
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
4329
4330
INTERNALS:
4331
4332
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
4333
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
4334
(John Arbash Meinel)
4335
4336
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
4337
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
4338
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
4339
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4340
4341
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
4342
(Andrew Bennetts)
4343
4344
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
4345
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
4346
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
4347
4348
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
4349
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
4350
4351
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
4352
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
4353
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
4354
4355
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
4356
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
4357
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
4358
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
4359
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
4360
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
4361
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
4362
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
4363
caller to repeat their request.
4364
(John Arbash Meinel)
4365
4366
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
4367
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
4368
4369
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
4370
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
4371
4372
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
4373
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
4374
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
4375
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
4376
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
4377
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
4378
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
4379
4380
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
4381
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
4382
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
4383
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
4384
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
4385
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
4386
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
4387
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
4388
(Robert Collins)
4389
4390
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
4391
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
4392
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
4393
4394
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
4395
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
4396
4397
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
4398
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
4399
4400
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
4401
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4402
4403
TESTING:
4404
4405
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
4406
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
4407
4408
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
4409
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
4410
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4411
4412
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
4413
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
4414
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4415
4416
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
4417
--------------------
4418
4419
IMPROVEMENTS:
4420
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
4421
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4422
4423
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
4424
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
4425
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
4426
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
4427
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
4428
4429
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
4430
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
4431
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
4432
4433
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
4434
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
4435
4436
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
4437
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
4438
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4439
4440
BUG FIXES:
4441
4442
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
4443
4444
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
4445
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
4446
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
4447
4448
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
4449
4450
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
4451
4452
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
4453
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
4454
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
4455
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
4456
4457
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
4458
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
4459
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
4460
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
4461
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
4462
4463
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
4464
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
4465
4466
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
4467
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
4468
4469
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
4470
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
4471
4472
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
4473
in handling of revision properties.
4474
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
4475
4476
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
4477
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
4478
4479
INTERNALS:
4480
4481
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
4482
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
4483
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
4484
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
4485
(John Arbash Meinel)
4486
4487
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
4488
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
4489
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4490
4491
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4492
---------------------
4493
4494
SURPRISES:
4495
4496
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
4497
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
4498
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
4499
specific one '.bzrignore'.
4500
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
4501
a more conservative list than the old default.
4502
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
4503
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
4504
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
4505
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
4506
4507
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4508
to more locations than just branch locations.
4509
(Aaron Bentley)
4510
4511
IMPROVEMENTS:
4512
4513
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
4514
revno:N:branch. For example,
4515
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
4516
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4517
4518
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
4519
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
4520
the path of a file that has been versioned.
4521
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
4522
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
4523
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
4524
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
4525
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
4526
#42517, #42514)
4527
4528
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
4529
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
4530
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
4531
(Malone #3507)
4532
4533
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
4534
(Alexander Belchenko)
4535
4536
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
4537
4538
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
4539
(Robert Collins).
4540
4541
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
4542
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
4543
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
4544
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
4545
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
4546
(John Arbash Meinel)
4547
4548
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
4549
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
4550
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
4551
grained analysis of performance.
4552
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4553
4554
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
4555
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
4556
4557
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
4558
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
4559
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
4560
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
4561
file. (Robert Collins).
4562
4563
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
4564
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
4565
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
4566
4567
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
4568
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
4569
Matthieu Moy)
4570
4571
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
4572
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
4573
4574
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
4575
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
4576
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
4577
the same way you would apply another branch.
4578
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4579
4580
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
4581
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
4582
4583
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
4584
(Michael Ellerman)
4585
4586
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
4587
(Aaron Bentley)
4588
4589
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
4590
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
4591
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
4592
4593
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
4594
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
4595
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
4596
4597
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
4598
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
4599
4600
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
4601
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
4602
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
4603
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
4604
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
4605
4606
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
4607
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
4608
4609
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
4610
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
4611
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
4612
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
4613
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
4614
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
4615
branch is as much as 4x faster.
4616
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
4617
4618
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
4619
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
4620
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
4621
4622
BUG FIXES:
4623
4624
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4625
tests not to run.
4626
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4627
4628
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4629
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4630
4631
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4632
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4633
4634
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4635
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4636
4637
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4638
4639
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4640
(John Arbash Meinel)
4641
4642
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4643
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4644
4645
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4646
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4647
and y.
4648
4649
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4650
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4651
4652
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4653
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4654
4655
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4656
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4657
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4658
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4659
4660
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4661
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4662
4663
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4664
4665
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4666
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4667
4668
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4669
4670
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4671
4672
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4673
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4674
4675
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4676
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4677
4678
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4679
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4680
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4681
4682
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4683
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4684
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4685
4686
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4687
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4688
4689
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4690
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4691
4692
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4693
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4694
4695
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4696
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4697
4698
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4699
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
4700
4701
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
4702
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
4703
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
4704
4705
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
4706
4707
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
4708
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
4709
4710
INTERNALS:
4711
4712
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
4713
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
4714
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
4715
4716
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
4717
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
4718
4719
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
4720
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
4721
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4722
4723
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
4724
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4725
4726
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
4727
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
4728
(Martin Pool)
4729
4730
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
4731
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
4732
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4733
4734
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
4735
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
4736
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4737
4738
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
4739
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
4740
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
4741
4742
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
4743
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
4744
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
4745
4746
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
4747
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
4748
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
4749
4750
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
4751
instead. (Robert Collins)
4752
4753
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

4768
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
4769
4770
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
4771
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4772
4773
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
4774
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

4785
4786
CHANGES:
4787
4788
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
4789
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
4790

4791
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
4792
4793
NEW FEATURES:
4794
4795
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into

new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4804
4805

4810
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
4811
-------------------
4812
4813
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4814
4815
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
4816
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
4817
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
4818
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
4819
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
4820
will keep the same format.
4821
4822
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
4823
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
4824
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
4825
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
4826
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
4827
4828
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
4829
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
4830
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
4831
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
4832
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
4833
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
4834
indicating the current revision of the branch.
4835
4836
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
4837
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
4838
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
4839
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
4840
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
4841
4842
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
4843
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
4844
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
4845
arrangement.
4846
4847
4848
IMPROVEMENTS:
4849
4850
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
4851
convention. Paths now take the form::
4852
4853
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
4854
or
4855
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
4856
4857
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
4858
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
4859
4860
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
4861
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
4862
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
4863
4864
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
4865
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
4866
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
4867
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
4868
4869
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
4870
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
4871
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
4872
4873
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
4874
4875
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
4876
4877
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
4878
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
4879
commits::
4880
4881
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
4882
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
4883
| xargs bzr re-sign
4884
4885
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
4886
4887
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
4888
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
4889
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
4890
(Robert Collins)
4891
4892
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
4893
4894
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
4895
4896
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
4897
'.moved'.
4898
4899
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
4900
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
4901
4902
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
4903
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
4904
Daniel Silverstone)
4905
4906
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
4907
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
4908
Martin Pool)
4909
4910
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
4911
4912
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
4913
4914
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
4915
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
4916
4917
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
4918
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
4919
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
4920
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
4921
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
4922
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
4923
4924
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
4925
4926
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
4927
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
4928
(Robert Collins)
4929
4930
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
4931
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
4932
4933
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
4934
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
4935
4936
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
4937
4938
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
4939
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
4940
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
4941
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
4942
specification by Martin Pool.
4943
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
4944
4945
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
4946
Belchenko)
4947
4948
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
4949
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4950
4951
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
4952
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
4953
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
4954
4955
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
4956
4957
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
4958
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
4959
(Robert Collins)
4960
4961
CHANGES:
4962
4963
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
4964
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4965
4966
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
4967
4968
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
4969
4970
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
4971
(Olaf Conradi)
4972
4973
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
4974
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
4975
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
4976
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
4977
4978
INTERNALS:
4979
4980
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
4981
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
4982
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
4983
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4984
4985
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
4986
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
4987
tried. (Martin Pool)
4988
4989
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
4990
(Martin Pool)
4991
4992
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
4993
4994
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
4995
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
4996
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
4997
4998
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
4999
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5000
5001
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5002
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5003
paths. (Robert Collins)
5004
5005
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5006
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5007
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5008
5009
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5010
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5011
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5012
5013
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5014
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5015
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5016
5017
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5018
(Olaf Conradi)
5019
5020
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5021
(Olaf Conradi)
5022
5023
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5024
5025
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5026
5027
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5028
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5029
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5030
(Robert Collins)
5031
5032
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5033
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5034
5035
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5036
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5037
check. (Robert Collins)
5038
5039
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5040
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5041
5042
TESTING:
5043
5044
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5045
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5046
5047
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5048
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5049
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5050
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5051
5052
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5053
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5054
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5055
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5056
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5057
5058
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5059
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5060
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5061
5062
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5063
5064
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5065
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
5066

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
5068
------------------
5069
5070
CHANGES:
5071
5072
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5073
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5074
5075
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5076
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5077
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5078
(Johan Rydberg)
5079
5080
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5081
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5082
5083
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5084
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5085
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5086
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5087
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5088
5089
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5090
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5091
used. (Robert Collins)
5092
5093
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5094
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5095
(James Henstridge)
5096
5097
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5098
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5099
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5100
5101
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5102
ignore list.
5103
5104
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5105
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
5106
5107
IMPROVEMENTS:
5108
5109
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5110
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5111
5112
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5113
5114
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5115
5116
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5117
tree. (Robert Collins)
5118
5119
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
5120
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
5121
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
5122
(Robert Collins)
5123
5124
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
5125
that they be kept.
5126
5127
* Tweaks to short log printing
5128
5129
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
5130
(Aaron Bentley)
5131
5132
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
5133
occurs. (Martin Pool)
5134
5135
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
5136
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
5137
5138
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
5139
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5140
5141
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5142
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5143
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5144
5145
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5146
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5147
5148
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5149
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5150
requests.
5151
5152
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5153
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5154
5155
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5156
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5157
5158
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5159
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5160
5161
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5162
(Denys Duchier)
5163
5164
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5165
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5166
5167
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5168
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5169
5170
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5171
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5172
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
5173
5174
BUG FIXES:
5175
5176
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
5177
5178
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5179
5180
* Error when run with -OO
5181
5182
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
5183
(Martin Pool)
5184
5185
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5186
5187
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5188
5189
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5190
ignored by diff and status
5191
5192
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5193
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5194
5195
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5196
5197
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5198
5199
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5200
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5201
5202
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5203
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5204
5205
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5206
(Harald Meland)
5207
5208
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5209
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5210
5211
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5212
5213
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5214
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5215
5216
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5217
(Martin Pool)
5218
5219
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5220
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5221
5222
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5223
5224
TESTING:
5225
5226
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5227
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5228
5229
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5230
5231
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5232
5233
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5234
5235
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5236
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5237
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5238
5239
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5240
5241
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5242
(John Arbash Meinel)
5243
5244
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5245
5246
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5247
If adding a new test script please add that to
5248
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5249
5250
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5251
imported. (Martin Pool)
5252
5253
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5254
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5255
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5256
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5257
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5258
(Robert Collins)
5259
5260
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5261
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5262
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5263
5264
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5265
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5266
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5267
5268
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5269
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5270
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5271
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5272
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5273
(Robert Collins).
5274
5275
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5276
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5277
(Robert Collins).
5278
5279
INTERNALS:
5280
5281
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5282
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5283
5284
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5285
function. (Robert Collins)
5286
5287
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5288
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5289
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5290
5291
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5292
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5293
(Robert Collins)
5294
5295
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5296
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5297
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5298
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5299
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5300
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5301
version. (Robert Collins)
5302
5303
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5304
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5305
5306
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5307
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5308
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5309
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5310
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5311
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5312
5313
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5314
(Robert Collins)
5315
5316
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5317
5318
add()
5319
commit()
5320
move()
5321
rename_one()
5322
unknowns()
5323
5324
(Robert Collins)
5325
5326
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5327
5328
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5329
5330
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5331
Pool)
5332
5333
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5334
query method. (Robert Collins)
5335
5336
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5337
(Denys Duchier)
5338
5339
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5340
(Michael Ellerman)
5341
5342
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5343
(Michael Ellerman)
5344
5345
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5346
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5347
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5348
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5349
5350
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5351
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5352
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5353
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5354
5355
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5356
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
5357
5358
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
5359
------------------
5360
5361
IMPROVEMENTS:
5362
5363
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
5364
(John A Meinel)
5365
5366
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
5367
conflicts.
5368
(Aaron Bentley)
5369
5370
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
5371
a separator, not ':'.
5372
(Aaron Bentley)
5373
5374
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
5375
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
5376
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
5377
5378
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
5379
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
5380
(Robert Collins)
5381
5382
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
5383
has been added that suppresses all output.
5384
5385
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
5386
Adams.
5387
5388
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
5389
Goffredo Baroncelli.
5390
5391
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
5392
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
5393
5394
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
5395
a revision. (Robert Collins)
5396
5397
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
5398
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
5399
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
5400
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
5401
5402
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
5403
5404
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
5405
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
5406
5407
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
5408
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
5409
5410
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
5411
output directory, if one was supplied.
5412
5413
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
5414
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
5415
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
5416
parameters. (Robert Collins)
5417
5418
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
5419
5420
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
5421
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
5422
5423
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
5424
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
5425
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
5426
5427
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
5428
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
5429
5430
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
5431
(Aaron Bentley)
5432
5433
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
5434
5435
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
5436
5437
TESTING:
5438
5439
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
5440
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
5441
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
5442
5443
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
5444
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
5445
related questions. (Robert Collins)
5446
5447
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
5448
is given. (Martin Pool)
5449
5450
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
5451
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
5452
file. (Robert Collins)
5453
5454
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
5455
(Martin Pool)
5456
5457
INTERNALS:
5458
5459
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
5460
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
5461
representation. (Martin Pool).
5462
5463
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
5464
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
5465
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
5466
5467
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5468
(Robert Collins)
5469
5470
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
5471
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
5472
Magnus Therning.
5473
5474
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5475
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
5476
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5477
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5478
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5479
5480
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5481
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5482
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5483
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5484
python path. (Robert Collins)
5485
5486
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5487
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5488
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5489
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5490
5491
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5492
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5493
5494
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5495
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5496
(Robert Collins)
5497
5498
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5499
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5500
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5501
5502
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5503
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5504
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5505
5506
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5507
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5508
5509
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5510
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5511
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5512
(Robert Collins)
5513
5514
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5515
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5516
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5517
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5518
(Robert Collins)
5519
5520
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5521
(Robert Collins)
5522
5523
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5524
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5525
(Robert Collins)
5526
5527
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
5528
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
5529
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
5530
5531
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
5532
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
5533
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
5534
5535
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
5536
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
5537
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
5538
5539
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5540
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5541
5542
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
5543
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
5544
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
5545
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
5546
caller. (Robert Collins)
5547
5548
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
5549
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
5550
(Robert Collins).
5551
5552
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
5553
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
5554
(Aaron Bentley)
5555
5556
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
5557
5558
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
5559
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
5560
5561
BUG FIXES:
5562
5563
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
5564
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
5565
5566
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
5567
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
5568
5569
5570
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
5571
--------------------
5572
5573
BUG FIXES:
5574
5575
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
5576
allow directories to be listed.
5577
5578
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
5579
upgrading branch format.
5580
5581
PERFORMANCE:
5582
5583
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
5584
5585
5586
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
5587
------------------
5588
5589
NOTES:
5590
5591
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
5592
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
5593
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
5594
high-latency connections.
5595
5596
BUG FIXES:
5597
5598
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
5599
Rob Weir.
5600
5601
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
5602
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
5603
5604
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
5605
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
5606
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
5607
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5608
5609
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5610
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5611
5612
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5613
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5614
5615
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
5616
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
5617
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5618
5619
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
5620
for files with only a change to their executable status.
5621
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
5622
Robert Collins
5623
5624
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5625
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5626
5627
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5628
different partial views of history.
5629
5630
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5631
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5632
5633
IMPROVEMENTS:
5634
5635
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5636
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5637
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5638
5639
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5640
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5641
'bzr upgrade'.
5642
5643
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5644
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5645
5646
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5647
Niemeyer.
5648
5649
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5650
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5651
5652
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5653
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5654
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5655
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5656
5657
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5658
5659
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5660
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5661
Gustavo Niemeyer.
5662
5663
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5664
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5665
5666
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5667
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5668
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5669
5670
5671
INTERNALS:
5672
5673
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5674
for your viewing pleasure.
5675
5676
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5677
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5678
5679
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5680
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5681
handling of such circumstances.
5682
5683
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
5684
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
5685
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
5686
5687
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5688
5689
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5690
we call them revisions not patches.
5691
5692
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5693
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5694
5695
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
5696
giving the revision *of that file*.
5697
5698
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
5699
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
5700
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
5701
5702
TESTING:
5703
5704
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
5705
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
5706
5707
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
5708
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
5709
5710
5711
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
5712
--------------------
5713
5714
BUG FIXES:
5715
5716
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
5717
5718
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
5719
(Robert Collins).
5720
5721
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
5722
5723
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
5724
5725
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
5726
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5727
5728
IMPROVEMENTS:
5729
5730
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
5731
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
5732
5733
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
5734
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
5735
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
5736
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
5737
Robey Pointer
5738
5739
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
5740
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5741
5742
INTERNALS:
5743
5744
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
5745
5746
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
5747
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
5748
5749
5750
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
5751
--------------------
5752
5753
IMPROVEMENTS:
5754
5755
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
5756
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
5757
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
5758
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
5759
Michael Ellerman.
5760
5761
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
5762
(Nir Soffer)
5763
5764
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
5765
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
5766
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
5767
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
5768
for the operating system is still tried.
5769
5770
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
5771
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
5772
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
5773
5774
5775
INTERNALS:
5776
5777
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
5778
5779
BUG FIXES:
5780
5781
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
5782
5783
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
5784
branch.
5785
5786
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
5787
read.
5788
5789
5790
PORTABILITY:
5791
5792
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
5793
5794
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
5795
5796
5797
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
5798
--------------------
5799
5800
NEW FEATURES:
5801
5802
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
5803
help with intelligent shell completion.
5804
5805
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
5806
5807
5808
ENHANCEMENTS:
5809
5810
* Much better merge support.
5811
5812
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
5813
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
5814
like emacs smerge.
5815
5816
5817
BUG FIXES:
5818
5819
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
5820
mention revisions that are not present.
5821
5822
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
5823
5824
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
5825
5826
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
5827
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
5828
5829
5830
CHANGES:
5831
5832
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
5833
5834
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
5835
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
5836
--help themselves.
5837
5838
5839
LIBRARY:
5840
5841
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
5842
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
5843
libraries.
5844
5845
5846
5847
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
5848
--------------------
5849
5850
NEW FEATURES:
5851
5852
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
5853
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
5854
5855
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
5856
5857
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
5858
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
5859
5860
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
5861
FOO.
5862
5863
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
5864
5865
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
5866
the Unix command.
5867
5868
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
5869
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
5870
5871
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
5872
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
5873
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
5874
5875
5876
ENHANCEMENTS:
5877
5878
* Faster working tree operations.
5879
5880
5881
CHANGES:
5882
5883
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
5884
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
5885
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
5886
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
5887
5888
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
5889
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
5890
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
5891
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
5892
standard plugins directory.
5893
5894
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
5895
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
5896
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
5897
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
5898
5899
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
5900
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
5901
5902
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
5903
disk.
5904
5905
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
5906
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
5907
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
5908
5909
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
5910
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
5911
5912
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
5913
line options must come before the command name because they
5914
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
5915
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
5916
it.
5917
5918
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
5919
5920
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
5921
is available with ``--short``.
5922
5923
5924
BUG FIXES:
5925
5926
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
5927
5928
5929
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
5930
---------------------
5931
5932
CHANGES:
5933
5934
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
5935
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5936
5937
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
5938
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
5939
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
5940
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
5941
5942
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
5943
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
5944
with the ``--forward`` option.
5945
5946
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
5947
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
5948
field.
5949
5950
5951
ENHANCEMENTS:
5952
5953
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
5954
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
5955
5956
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
5957
5958
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
5959
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
5960
5961
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
5962
5963
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
5964
either read or write mode.
5965
5966
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
5967
5968
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
5969
affected that file.
5970
5971
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
5972
5973
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
5974
suggested by LarstiQ.
5975
5976
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
5977
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
5978
5979
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
5980
a filename.
5981
5982
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
5983
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
5984
5985
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
5986
haven't changed since the previous time.
5987
5988
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
5989
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
5990
5991
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
5992
5993
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
5994
5995
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
5996
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
5997
5998
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
5999
options through to an external GNU diff.
6000
6001
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
6002
their contents.
6003
6004
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
6005
from a branch.
6006
6007
6008
BUG FIXES:
6009
6010
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
6011
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
6012
6013
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
6014
metacharacters.
6015
6016
6017
TESTING:
6018
6019
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
6020
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
6021
the tests.
6022
6023
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
6024
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
6025
6026
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
6027
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
6028
6029
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
6030
under a different version.
6031
6032
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
6033
6034
6035

* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
6038
6039
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
6040
Scott James Remnant.
6041
6042
* Better help messages for many commands.
6043
6044
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
6045
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
6046
6047
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
6048
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
6049
6050
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
6051
6052
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
6053
6054
* New AtomicFile class.
6055
6056
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
6057
6058
6059
PORTABILITY:
6060
6061
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.

6066
---------------------
6067
6068
ENHANCEMENTS:
6069
6070
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
6071
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
6072
6073
* More default ignore patterns.
6074
6075
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
6076
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
6077
6078
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
6079
6080
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
6081
by Jason Diamon.
6082
6083
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
6084
6085
6086
CHANGES:
6087
6088
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
6089
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
6090
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
6091
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
6092
there are DNS problems.
6093
6094
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
6095
6096
6097
BUG FIXES:
6098
6099
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
6100
6101

6104
trailing newlines properly.
6105
6106
6107
INTERNAL:
6108
6109
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
6110
Matt Brubeck.
6111
6112
* More tests in test.sh.
6113
6114
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
6115
directory and delete it when done.
6116
6117
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
6118
6119
6120
PORTABILITY:
6121
6122
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
6123
Bennetts.
6124
6125
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
6126
from QuantumG.

6149

6150
6151
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
6152
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
6153
will do for now.)
6154
6155
PORTABILITY:
6156
6157
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
6158
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
6159
Nielsen.

6190
* More help topics.
6191
6192
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
6193
branch.
6194
6195
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
6196
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
6197
6198
* Performance improvements.
6199
6200
* New global --profile option.
6201
6202
