IN DEVELOPMENT
9
--------------
10
11
BUG FIXES:
12
13
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
14
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
15
reading from the repository.)
16
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
17
18
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
19
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
20
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
21
22
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
23
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
24
25
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
26
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
27
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
28
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
29
30
IMPROVEMENTS:
31
32
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
33
34
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
35
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
36
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
37
(Adrian Wilkins)
38
39
BUGFIXES:
40
41
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
42
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
43
44
TESTING:
45
46
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
47
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
48
49
API CHANGES:
50
51
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
52
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
53
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
54
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
55
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
56
57
INTERNALS:
58
59
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
60
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
61
62
63
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
64
-----------------------
65
66
67
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
68
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
69
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
70
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
71
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
72
and future extensions.
73
74
75
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
76
77
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
78
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
79
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
80
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
81
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
82
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
83
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
84
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
85
86
CHANGES:
87
88
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
89
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
90
(John Arbash Meinel)
91
92
FEATURES:
93
94
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
95
load. (James Westby)
96
97
IMPROVEMENTS:
98
99
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
100
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
101
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
102
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
103
104
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
105
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
106
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
107
108
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
109
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
110
111
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
112
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
113
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
114
115
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
116
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
117
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
118
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
119
step closer to not using full revision history.
120
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
121
122
BUGFIXES:
123
124
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
125
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
126
127
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
128
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
129
130
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
131
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
132
133
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
134
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
135
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
136
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
137
138
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
139
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
140
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
141
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
142
143
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
144
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
145
in use by another process.
146
(Martin Pool)
147
148
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
149
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
150
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
151
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
152
153
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
154
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
155
156
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
157
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
158
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
159
160
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
161
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
162
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
163
164
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
165
them.
166
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
167
168
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
169
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
170
171
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
172
under vim on Mac OS X.
173
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
174
175
DOCUMENTATION:
176
177
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
178
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
179
180
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
181
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
182
(Ian Clatworthy)
183
184
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
185
and about use of Python reprs.
186
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
187
188
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
189
190
TESTING:
191
192
* New helper function for splitting test suites
193
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
194
195
INTERNALS:
196
197
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
198
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
199
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
200
(John Arbash Meinel)
201
202
API CHANGES:
203
204
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
205
instead. (Martin Pool)
206
207
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
208
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
209
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
210
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
211
212
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
213
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
214
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
215
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
216
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
217
218
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
219
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
220
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
221
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
222
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
223
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
224
225
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
226
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
227
(Martin Pool)
228
229
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
230
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
231
(Robert Collins)
232
233
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
234
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
235
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
236
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
237
238
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
239
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
240
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
241
242
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
243
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
244
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
245
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
246
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
247
(Martin Pool)
248
249
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
250
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
251
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
252
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
253
(Robert Collins)
254
255
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
256
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
257
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
258
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
259
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
260
261
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
262
(Martin Pool)
263
264
265
bzr 1.5 2008-05-16
266
------------------
267
268
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
269
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
270
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
271
272
CHANGES:
273
274
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
275
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
276
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
277
278
DOCUMENTATION:
279
280
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
281
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
282
(Ian Clatworthy)
283
284
285
bzr 1.5rc1 2008-05-09
286
---------------------
287
288
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
289
290
CHANGES:
291
292
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
293
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
294
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
295
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
296
297
FEATURES:
298
299
IMPROVEMENTS:
300
301
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
302
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
303
304
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
305
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
306
307
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
308
(Aaron Bentley)
309
310
BUGFIXES:
311
312
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
313
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
314
315
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
316
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
317
318
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
319
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
320
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
321
322
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
323
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
324
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
325
326
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
327
(Andreas Deininger)
328
329
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
330
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
331
332
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
333
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
334
335
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
336
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
337
338
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
339
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
340
341
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
342
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
343
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
344
345
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
346
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
347
348
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
349
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
350
351
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
352
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
353
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
354
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
355
356
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
357
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
358
(Martin Pool)
359
360
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
361
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
362
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
363
364
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
365
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
366
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
367
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
368
every revision each side had in common.
369
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
370
371
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
372
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
373
374
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
375
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
376
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
377
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
378
379
DOCUMENTATION:
380
381
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
382
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
383
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
384
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
385
386
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
387
388
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
389
390
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
391
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
392
393
TESTING:
394
395
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
396
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
397
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
398
399
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
400
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
401
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
402
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
403
404
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
405
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
406
407
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
408
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
409
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
410
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
411
412
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
413
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
414
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
415
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
416
417
INTERNALS:
418
419
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
420
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
421
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
422
423
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
424
425
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
426
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
427
428
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
429
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
430
431
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
432
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
433
434
API CHANGES:
435
436
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
437
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
438
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
439
440
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
441
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
442
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
443
(Aaron Bentley)
444
445
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
446
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
447
(Martin Pool)
448
449
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

bzr 1.4 2008-04-28
454
------------------
455
456
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
457
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
458
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
459
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
460
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
461
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
462
and faster performance.
463
464
BUG FIXES:
465
466
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
467
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
468
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

472
bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
473
---------------------
474
475
BUG FIXES:
476
477
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
478
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
479
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
480
481
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
482
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
483
484
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
485
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
486
487
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
488
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
489
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
490
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
491
every revision each side had in common.
492
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)

bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
496
---------------------
497
498
CHANGES:
499
500
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
501
502
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
503
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
504
505
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
506
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
507
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
508
509
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
510
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
511
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
512
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
513
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
514
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
515
Andrew Cowie)
516
517
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
518
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
519
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
520
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
521
522
FEATURES:
523
524
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
525
526
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
527
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
528
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
529
530
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
531
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
532
See the User Reference for signature details.
533
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
534
535
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
536
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
537
538
IMPROVEMENTS:
539
540
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
541
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
542
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
543
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
544
545
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
546
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
547
548
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
549
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
550
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
551
Wouter van Heyst)
552
553
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
554
(Chad Miller)
555
556
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
557
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
558
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
559
560
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
561
(Aaron Bentley)
562
563
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
564
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
565
566
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
567
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
568
569
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
570
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
571
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
572
573
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
574
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
575
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
576
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
577
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
578
579
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
580
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
581
582
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
583
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
584
585
BUGFIXES:
586
587
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
588
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
589
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
590
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
591
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
592
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
593
594
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
595
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
596
597
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
598
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
599
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
600
601
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
602
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
603
604
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
605
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
606
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
607
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
608
609
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
610
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
611
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
612
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
613
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
614
615
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
616
617
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
618
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
619
620
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
621
622
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
623
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
624
625
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
626
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
627
628
DOCUMENTATION:
629
630
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
631
632
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
633
634
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
635
636
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
637
638
API BREAKS:
639
640
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
641
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
642
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
643
644
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
645
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
646
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
647
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
648
649
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
650
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
651
release. (James Westby)
652
653
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
654
(Andrew Bennetts)
655
656
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
657
658
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
659
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
660
661
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
662
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
663
664
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
665
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
666
667
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
668
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
669
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
670
671
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
672
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
673
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
674
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
675
676
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
677
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
678
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
679
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
680
681
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
682
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
683
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
684
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
685
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
686
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
687
688
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
689
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
690
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
691
692
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
693
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
694
695
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
696
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
697
(Robert Collins)
698
699
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
700
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
701
702
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
703
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
704
705
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
706
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
707
708
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
709
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
710
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
711
712
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
713
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
714
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
715
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
716
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
717
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
718
719
TESTING:
720
721
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
722
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
723
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
724
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
725
726
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
727
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
728
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
729
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
730
implement this).
731
(Vincent Ladeuil)
732
733
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
734
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
735
(Vincent Ladeuil)
736
737
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
738
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
739
740
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
741
742
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
743
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
744
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
745
746
INTERNALS:
747
748
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
749
750
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
751
(Martin Albisetti)
752
753
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
754
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
755
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
756
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
757
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
758
(Martin Pool, #109520)
759
760
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
761
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
762
763
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
764
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
765
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
766
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
767
768
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
769
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
770
771
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
772
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.3 2008-03-20
793
------------------
794
795
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
796
797
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
798
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
799
features have been added.
800
801
TESTING:
802
803
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
804

811
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
812
813
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
814
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
815
816
CHANGES:
817
818
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
819
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
820
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
821
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
822
(Robert Collins)
823
824
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
825
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
826
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
827
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
828
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
829
(Alexander Belchenko)
830
831
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
832
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
833
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
834
(Alexander Belchenko)
835
836
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
837
838
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
839
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
840
841
FEATURES:
842
843
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
844
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
845
846
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
847
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
848
(Jelmer Vernooij)
849
850
IMPROVEMENTS:
851
852
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
853
854
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
855
856
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
857
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
858
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
859
860
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
861
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
862
863
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
864
to. (Daniel Watkins)
865
866
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
867
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
868
(Alexander Belchenko)
869
870
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
871
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
872
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
873
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
874
875
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
876
(Daniel Watkins)
877
878
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
879
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
880
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
881
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
882
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
883
884
BUGFIXES:
885
886
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
887
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
888
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
889
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
890
891
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
892
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
893
894
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
895
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
896

* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
898
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
899
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
900
901
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
902

903
904
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
905
#196618)
906
907
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
908
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
909
910
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
911
912
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
913
914
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
915
symlinks (James Henstridge)
916
917
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
918
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
919
920
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
921
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
922
923
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
924
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
925
926
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
927
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
928
929
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
930
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
931
932
DOCUMENTATION:
933
934
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
935
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
936
937
API BREAKS:
938
939
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
940
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
941
(Alexander Belchenko)
942
943
TESTING:
944
945
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
946
947
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
948
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
949
(Robert Collins)
950
951
INTERNALS:
952
953
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
954
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
955
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
956
957
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
958
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
959
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
960
(Alexander Belchenko)
961
962
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
963
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
964
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
965
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
966
967
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
968
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
969
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
970
(Robert Collins)
971
972
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
973
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
974
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
975
976
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
977
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
978
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
979
980
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
981
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
982
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
983
format. (Robert Collins)

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
998
999
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1000
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1001
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1002
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1003
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1004
(Andrew Bennetts)
1005
1006
CHANGES:
1007
1008
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1009
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1010
1011
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1012
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1013
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1014
1015
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1016
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1017
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1018
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1019
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1020
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1021
(Aaron Bentley)
1022
1023
FEATURES:
1024
1025
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1026
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1027
1028
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1029
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1030
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1031
(Robert Collins)
1032
1033
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1034
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1035
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1036
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1037
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1038
1039
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1040
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1041
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1042
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1043
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1044
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1045
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1046
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1047
1048
IMPROVEMENTS:
1049
1050
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1051
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1052
1053
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1054
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1055
1056
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1057
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1058
1059
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1060
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1061
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1062
1063
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1064
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1065
(John Arbash Meinel)
1066
1067
BUGFIXES:
1068
1069
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1070
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1071
1072
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1073
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1074
1075
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1076
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1077
1078
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1079
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1080
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1081
1082
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1083
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1084
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1085
1086
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1087
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1088
1089
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1090
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1091
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1092
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1093
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1094
unittest runner.
1095
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1096
1097
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1098
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1099
#185907)
1100
1101
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1102
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1103
1104
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1105
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1106
1107
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1108
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1109
1110
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1111
more characters which should be considered valid.
1112
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1113
1114
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1115
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1116
1117
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1118
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1119
1120
API BREAKS:
1121
1122
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1123
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1124
1125
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1126
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1127
(Martin Pool)
1128
1129
TESTING:
1130
1131
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1132
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1133
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1134
1135
INTERNALS:
1136
1137
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1138
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1139
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1140
1141
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1142
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1143
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1144
1145
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1146
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1147
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1148
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1149
1150
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1151
1152
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1153
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1154
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1155
server. (Robert Collins)
1156
1157
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1158
operate. (Robert Collins)
1159
1160
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1161
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1162
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1163
1164
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1165
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1166
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1167
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1168
1169
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1170
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1171
1172
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1173
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1174
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1175
1176
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1177
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1178
1179
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1180
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1181
1182
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1183
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1184
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1185
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

1194
---------------------
1195
1196
CHANGES:
1197
1198
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1199
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1200
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1201
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1202
1203
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1204
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1205
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1206
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1207
1208
FEATURES:
1209
1210
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1211
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1212
1213
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1214
(Aaron Bentley)
1215
1216
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1217
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1218
1219
IMPROVEMENTS:
1220
1221
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1222
#90049)
1223
1224
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1225
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1226
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1227
1228
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1229
1230
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1231
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1232
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1233
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1234
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1235
1236
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1237
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1238
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1239
1240
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1241
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1242
1243
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1244
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1245
1246
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1247
1248
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1249
1250
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1251
(Aaron Bentley)
1252
1253
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1254
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1255
1256
BUGFIXES:
1257
1258
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1259
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1260
1261
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1262
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1263
1264
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1265
(Aaron Bentley)
1266
1267
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1268
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1269
1270
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1271
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1272
1273
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1274
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1275
1276
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1277
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1278
1279
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1280
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1281
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1282
1283
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1284
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1285
1286
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1287
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1288
(Aaron Bentley)
1289
1290
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1291
1292
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1293
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1294
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1295
1296
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1297
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1298
1299
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1300
(Aaron Bentley)
1301
1302
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1303
#148087)
1304
1305
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1306
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1307
1308
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1309
#137681)
1310
1311
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1312
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1313
(Aaron Bentley)
1314
1315
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1316
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
1317
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
1318
1319
DOCUMENTATION:
1320
1321
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1322
(Ian Clatworthy)
1323
1324
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1325
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1326
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1327
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1328
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1329
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1330
1331
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1332
1333
INTERNALS:
1334
1335
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
1336
(Aaron Bentley)
1337
1338
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
1339
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1340
1341
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1342
1343
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1344
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1345
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1346
Robert Collins)
1347
1348
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1349
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1350
1351
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
1352
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1353
1354
API BREAKS:
1355
1356
TESTING:
1357
1358
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
1359
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1360
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
1361
1362
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1363
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1364
(Robert Collins)
1365
1366
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1367
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1368
1369
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
1370
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1371
1372
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1373
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1374
1375
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
1376
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
1377
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1378
1379
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1380
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1381
1382
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
1383
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1384
1385
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
1386
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
1387
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1388
1389
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
1390
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
1391
1392
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
1393
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

1418
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
1419

BUGFIXES:
1424
1425
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
1426
1427
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
1428
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
1429
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
1430
feedback but also incur more latency.
1431
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
1432
1433
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
1434
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)

1442
1443
INTERNALS:
1444
1445
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
1446
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
1447
wraps its output in a StringIO.

IMPROVEMENTS:
1455
1456
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1457
1458
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
1459
(Aaron Bentley)
1460
1461
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
1462
Nordhoff, #172612)
1463
1464
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1465
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1466
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
1467
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1468
1469
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
1470
(Kent Gibson)
1471
1472
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1473
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1474
1475
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1476
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1477
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1478
1479
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1480
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1481
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1482
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1483
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1484
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1485
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1486
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1487
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
1488
1489
INTERNALS:
1490
1491
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
1492
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1493
1494
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
1495
1496
BUGFIXES:
1497
1498
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
1499
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
1500
1501
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
1502
filename to user.
1503
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1504
1505
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1506
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1507
required.
1508
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
1509
1510
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1511
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
1512
1513
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
1514
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
1515
1516
API BREAKS:
1517
1518
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
1519
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)

bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
1523
---------------------
1524
1525
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1526
1527
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1528
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1529
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1530
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1531
1532
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1533
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1534
1535
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1536
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1537
1538
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1539
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1540
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1541
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1542
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1543
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1544
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1545
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1546
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1547
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1548
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1549
from any tree without problems.
1550
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
1551
1552
CHANGES:
1553
1554
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1555
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1556
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1557
1558
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
1559
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
1560
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
1561
(Martin Pool)
1562
1563
FEATURES:
1564
1565
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
1566
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
1567
supported transports.
1568
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1569
1570
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
1571
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
1572
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
1573
1574
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1575
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1576
1577
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
1578
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
1579
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
1580
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
1581
1582
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
1583
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
1584
1585
PERFORMANCE:
1586
1587
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
1588
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
1589
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
1590
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1591
1592
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
1593
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
1594
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
1595
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
1596
1597
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
1598
(Robert Collins, #88319)
1599
1600
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
1601
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
1602
1603
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1604
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1605
1606
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1607
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1608
(Aaron Bentley)
1609
1610
IMPROVEMENTS:
1611
1612
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1613
(Aaron Bentley)
1614
1615
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1616
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1617
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1618
1619
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1620
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1621
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1622
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1623
1624
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1625
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1626
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1627
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
1634
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
1635
1636
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
1637
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
1638
1639
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
1640
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
1641
1642
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
1643
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
1644
1645
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
1646
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
1647
1648
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
1649
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
1650
1651
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
1652
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
1653
1654
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
1655
(Aaron Bentley)
1656
1657
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
1658
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
1659
1660
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
1661
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
1662
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
1663
1664
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
1665
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
1666
1667
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
1668
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
1669
1670
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
1671
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
1672
1673
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
1674
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
1675
1676
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
1677
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
1678
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
1679
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
1680
on them.
1681
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1682
1683
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
1684
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1685
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
1686
1687
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
1688
(Robert Collins, #161240)
1689
1690
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
1691
to be reconciled.
1692
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1693
1694
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1695
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1696
1697
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1698
specify a port in urls.
1699
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1700
1701
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
1702
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
1703
1704
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
1705
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
1706
1707
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
1708
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
1709
1710
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
1711
(Robert Collins, #153789)
1712
1713
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
1714
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
1715
(Robert Collins, #165304).
1716
1717
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
1718
1719
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
1720
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
1721
1722
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
1723
Watkins, #152811)
1724
1725
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
1726
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
1727
1728
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
1729
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
1730
1731
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
1732
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
1733
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
1734
1735
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
1736
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
1737
1738
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
1739
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
1740
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
1741
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
1742
1743
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
1744
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
1745
1746
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
1747
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
1748
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
1749
1750
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
1751
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
1752
1753
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
1754
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
1755
1756
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
1757
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
1758
1759
API BREAKS:
1760
1761
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
1762
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
1763
1764
* The return value of
1765
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
1766
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
1767
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
1768
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
1769
1770
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
1771
(Robert Collins)
1772
1773
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
1774
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
1775
format.
1776
(Martin Pool)
1777
1778
INTERNALS:
1779
1780
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
1781
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
1782
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
1783
Bennetts)
1784
1785
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
1786
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
1787
1788
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1805
1806
CHANGES:
1807
1808
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
1809
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
1810
1811
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
1812
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
1813
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
1814
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
1815
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
1816
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
1817
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
1818
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
1819
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
1820
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
1821
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
1822
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
1823
(Robert Collins)
1824
1825
FEATURES:
1826
1827
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
1828
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
1829
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
1830
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
1831
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
1832
for further details. (Robert Collins)
1833
1834
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
1835
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
1836
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
1837
(Robert Collins)
1838
1839
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
1840
1841
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
1842
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
1843
1844
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
1845
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
1846
(Aaron Bentley)
1847
1848
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
1849
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
1850
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
1851
1852
PERFORMANCE:
1853
1854
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
1855
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1856
1857
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
1858
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
1859
1860
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
1861
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
1862
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
1863
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
1864
1865
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
1866
(Robert Collins)
1867
1868
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
1869
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
1870
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
1871
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
1872
1873
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
1874
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
1875
1876
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
1877
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1878
1879
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
1880
the contents. (Robert Collins)
1881
1882
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
1883
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
1884
1885
IMPROVEMENTS:
1886
1887
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
1888
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
1889
1890
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
1891
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
1892
1893
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
1894
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
1895
1896
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
1897
(Martin Pool, #63894)
1898
1899
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
1900
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
1901
1902
DOCUMENTATION:
1903
1904
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
1905
1906
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
1907
(Ian Clatworthy)
1908
1909
BUG FIXES:
1910
1911
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
1912
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
1913
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
1914
1915
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
1916
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
1917
1918
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
1919
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
1920
1921
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
1922
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
1923
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
1924
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
1925
1926
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
1927
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
1928
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
1929
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
1930
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
1931
1932
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
1933
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
1934
paramiko.
1935
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
1936
1937
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1938
1939
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
1940
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
1941
1942
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
1943
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
1944
1945
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
1946
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
1947
1948
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
1949
contains a symbolic link.
1950
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
1951
1952
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
1953
(James Westby, #140615)
1954
1955
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
1956
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
1957
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
1958
1959
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
1960
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
1961
(Martin Pool, #144633)
1962
1963
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1964
1965
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
1966
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
1967
1968
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
1969
will remain opened.
1970
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
1971
1972
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
1973
directory to detect leaking tests.
1974
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
1975
1976
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
1977
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
1978
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
1979
1980
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
1981
(Rob Weir, #141629)
1982
1983
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
1984
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
1985
1986
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
1987
Merwe)
1988
1989
API BREAKS:
1990
1991
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
1992
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
1993
1994
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
1995
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
1996
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
1997
1998
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
1999
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2000
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2001
2002
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2003
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2004
2005
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2006
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2007
2008
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2009
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2010
(Martin Pool)
2011
2012
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2013
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2014
2015
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2016
class that needs it.
2017
(Martin Pool)
2018
2019
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2020
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2021
2022
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2023
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2024
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2025
2026
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2027
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2028
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2029
(Robert Collins)
2030
2031
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2032
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2033
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2034
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2035
(Robert Collins)
2036
2037
INTERNALS:
2038
2039
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2040
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2041
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2042
2043
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2044
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2045
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2046
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2047
2048
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2049
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2050
(Robert Collins)
2051
2052
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2053
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2054
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2055
2056
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2057
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2058
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2059
2060
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2061
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2062
2063
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2064
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2065
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2066
2067
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2068
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2069
2070
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2071
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2072
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2073
2074
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2075
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2076
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2077
2078
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2079
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2080
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2081
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2082
2083
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2084
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2085
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2086
returned. (Robert Collins)
2087
2088
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2089
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2090
2091
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2092
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2093
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2094
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2095
(Robert Collins)
2096
2097
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2098
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2099
2100
TESTING:
2101
2102
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2103
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2104
2105
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2106
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2107
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2108
makes this behavior available to other users.
2109
(Martin Pool)
2110
2111
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2112
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
2113
2114
2115
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
2116
-------------------
2117
2118
BUG FIXES:
2119
2120
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2121
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2122
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2123
2124
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2125
2126
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2127
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2128
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2129
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2130
2131
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2132
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
2133
(Andrew Bennetts)
2134
2135
2136
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
2137
----------------------
2138
2139
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
2140
in bzrlib/remote.py.
2141
2142
2143
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
2144
----------------------
2145
2146
CHANGES:
2147
2148
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
2149
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
2150
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
2151
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
2152
(Martin Pool)
2153
2154
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
2155
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
2156
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
2157
(Ian Clatworthy)
2158
2159
FEATURES:
2160
2161
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
2162
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
2163
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
2164
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2165
2166
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
2167
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
2168
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
2169
2170
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2171
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2172
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2173
2174
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2175
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2176
2177
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
2178
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
2179
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
2180
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
2181
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
2182
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
2183
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
2184
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
2185
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
2186
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
2187
2188
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2189
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2190
2191
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
2192
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
2193
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2194
2195
BUG FIXES:
2196
2197
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2198
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2199
2200
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
2201
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
2202
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
2203
2204
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2205
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2206
2207
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2208
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2209
2210
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2211
(Aaron Bentley)
2212
2213
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2214
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2215
2216
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2217
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2218
2219
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2220
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2221
2222
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2223
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2224
2225
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2226
2227
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2228
Watkins, #106726)
2229
2230
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
2231
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
2232
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
2233
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
2234
2235
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2236
2237
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
2238
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
2239
#133548)
2240
2241
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2242
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2243
2244
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2245
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2246
#116143)
2247
2248
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2249
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2250
2251
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2252
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2253
2254
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
2255
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
2256
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
2257
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
2258
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
2259
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
2260
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
2261
2262
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2263
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2264
2265
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2266
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2267
2268
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2269
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2270
2271
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2272
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2273
2274
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2275
connections.
2276
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2277
2278
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2279
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
2280
2281
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
2282
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
2283
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
2284
2285
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2286
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2287
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2288
2289
IMPROVEMENTS:
2290
2291
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2292
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2293
2294
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2295
(Aaron Bentley)
2296
2297
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2298
(Aaron Bentley)
2299
2300
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2301
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2302
2303
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2304
2305
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2306
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2307
2308
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2309
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2310
2311
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
2312
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
2313
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
2314
space). (Robert Collins)
2315
2316
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2317
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2318
(Ian Clatworthy)
2319
2320
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2321
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2322
2323
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2324
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2325
2326
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
2327
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
2328
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
2329
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
2330
2331
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
2332
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
2333
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
2334
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2335
2336
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
2337
(Ian Clatworthy)
2338
2339
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
2340
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
2341
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
2342
2343
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
2344
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
2345
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
2346
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
2347
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
2348
2349
API BREAKS:
2350
2351
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
2352
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2353
2354
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
2355
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
2356
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
2357
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
2358
affected. (Robert Collins)
2359
2360
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
2361
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
2362
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
2363
(Robert Collins)
2364
2365
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2366
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2367
2368
TESTING:
2369
2370
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
2371
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
2372
2373
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
2374
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2375
2376
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2377
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2378
2379
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
2380
(Aaron Bentley)
2381
2382
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
2383
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2384
2385
INTERNALS:
2386
2387
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
2388
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
2389
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
2390
its version information. (Robert Collins)
2391
2392
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
2393
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2394
2395
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
2396
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
2397
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
2398
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2399
2400
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
2401
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
2402
present. (Robert Collins)
2403
2404
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
2405
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
2406
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
2407
API. (Robert Collins)
2408
2409
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
2410
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
2411
(Robert Collins)
2412
2413
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
2414
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
2415
2416
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
2417
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
2418
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
2419
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
2420
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
2421
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
2422
2423
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
2424
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
2425
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
2426
2427
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
2428
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
2429
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
2430
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
2431
protocol.
2432
2433
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
2434
(Aaron Bentley)
2435
2436
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
2437
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
2438
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
2439
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
2440
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
2441
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
2442
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
2443
2444
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
2445
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
2446
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
2447
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
2448
2449
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
2450
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
2451
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
2452
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
2453
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
2454
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
2455
2456
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
2457
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
2458
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
2459
2460
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
2461
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
2465
-------------------
2466
2467
IMPROVEMENTS:
2468
2469
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2470
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2471
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2472
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2473
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2474
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2475
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
2477
2478
2479
API CHANGES:
2480
2481
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2482
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2483
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
2484
2485
2486
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
2487
----------------------
2488
2489
BUGFIXES:
2490
2491
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2492
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2493
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2494
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2495
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2496
2497
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2498
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2499
2500
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2501
anymore.
2502
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2503
2504
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2505
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2506
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2507
2508
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2509
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2510
#111664)
2511
2512
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2513
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2514
2515
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2516
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2517
2518
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2519
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2520
2521
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2522
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2523
2524
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2525
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2526
2527
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2528
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2529
2530
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2531
(Aaron Bentley)
2532
2533
IMPROVEMENTS:
2534
2535
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2536
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2537
2538
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2539
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2540
2541
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2542
the repository (Robert Collins)
2543
2544
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2545
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2546
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2547
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2548
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2549
2550
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2551
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2552
2553
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2554
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2555
(John Arbash Meinel)
2556
2557
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2558
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2559
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2560
about 10%).
2561
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2562
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2563
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2564
(John Arbash Meinel)
2565
2566
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2567
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2568
(Robert Collins)
2569
2570
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2571
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2572
2573
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2574
(Ian Clatworthy)
2575
2576
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2577
2578
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2579
2580
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2581
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2582
2583
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2584
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2585
Meinel)
2586
2587
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2588
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2589
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2590
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2591
2592
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2593
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
2594
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
2595
2596
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
2597
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
2598
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
2599
2600
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2601
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2602
2603
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2604
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2605
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2606
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2607
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2608
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2609
(Ian Clatworthy)
2610
2611
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2612
(Alexander Belchenko)
2613
2614
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2615
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2616
2617
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2618
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2619
2620
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2621
2622
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2623
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2624
2625
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2626
2627
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2628
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2629
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2630
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2631
2632
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2633
2634
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2635
(Robert Collins)
2636
2637
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2638
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2639
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2640
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2641
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2642
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2643
2644
INTERNALS:
2645
2646
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2647
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2648
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2649
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2650
2651
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2652
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2653
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2654
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2655
tests have been refactored too.
2656
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2657
2658
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2659
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2660
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2661
list, it will.
2662
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2663
2664
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2665
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2666
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2667
2668
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2669
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2670
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2671
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2672
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2673
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2674
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2675
2676
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2677
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2678
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2679
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2680
(John Arbash Meinel)
2681
2682
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2683
functionality for testing.
2684
2685
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2686
2687
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2688
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2689
2690
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2691
2692
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2693
(Robert Collins)
2694
2695
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2696
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2697
2698
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2699
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2700
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2701
2702
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2703
(Aaron Bentley)
2704
2705
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2706
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2707
2708
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2709
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2710
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2711
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2712
2713
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2714
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2715
2716
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2717
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2718
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2719
2720
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2721
(Marius Kruger)
2722
2723
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2724
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2725
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2726
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2727
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
2728
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2729
2730
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
2731
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
2732
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
2733
many files. (Robert Collins)
2734
2735
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
2736
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
2737
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
2738
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
2739
2740
TESTING:
2741
2742
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
2743
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
2744
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
2745
2746
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
2747
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
2748
2749
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
2750
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
2751
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

2767
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
2768
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
2769
2770
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
2771
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
2772
(James Westby, #122656)
2773

2784
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
2785
2786
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
2787
2788
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
2789
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
2790
2791
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
2792
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
2793
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
2794
2795
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
2796
individually and as part of revision ranges.
2797
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
2798
2799
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
2800
(Martin Pool, #109169)
2801
2802
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
2803
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
2804
2805
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
2806
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
2807
2808
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2809
2810
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
2811
2812
IMPROVEMENTS:
2813
2814
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
2815
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
2816
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
2817
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
2818
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
2819
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
2820
2821
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
2822
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
2823
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
2824
2825
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
2826
(Elliot Murphy)
2827
2828
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
2829
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
2830
2831
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
2832
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
2833
2834
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
2835
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
2836
2837
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
2838
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
2839
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
2840
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
2841
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
2842
2843
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
2844
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
2845
2846
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
2847
can be slow it is useful feedback).
2848
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
2849
2850
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
2851
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
2852
2853
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
2854
2855
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
2856
output. (Aaron Bentley)
2857
2858
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
2859
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
2860
(Robert Collins)
2861
2862
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
2863
(Martin Pool)
2864
2865
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
2866
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
2867
2868
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
2869
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
2870
2871
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
2872
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
2873
2874
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
2875
2876
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
2877
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
2878
2879
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
2880
(Andrew Bennetts)
2881
2882
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2883
2884
* Testing cleanups -
2885
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2886
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
2887
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2888
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
2889
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2890
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
2891
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2892
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
2893
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2894
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
2895
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
2896
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
2897
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2898
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
2899
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2900
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
2901
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
2902
(Robert Collins)
2903
2904
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
2905
2906
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
2907
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
2908
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
2909
2910
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
2911
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
2912
2913
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
2914
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2915
2916
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
2917
2918
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
2919
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
2920
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
2921
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
2922
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
2923
same location. (Robert Collins)
2924
2925
INTERNALS:
2926
2927
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
2928
2929
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
2930
2931
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
2932
2933
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
2934
(Martin Pool)
2935
2936
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
2937
(Martin Pool)
2938
2939
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
2940
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
2941
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
2942
2943
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
2944
2945
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
2946
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
2947
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
2948
2949
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
2950
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
2951
2952
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
2953
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
2954
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
2955
2956
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
2957
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
2958
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
2959
2960
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
2961
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
2962
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
2963
2964
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
2965
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
2966
Martin Pool)
2967
2968
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
2969
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
2970
2971
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
2972
(Alexander Belchenko)
2973
2974
TESTING:
2975
2976
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
2977
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
2978
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
2979
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2980
2981
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
2982
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
2983
testing. (Robert Collins)
2984
2985
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
2986
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
2987
2988
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
2989
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
2990
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
2991
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
2992
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
2993
attribute during the test parameterisation in
2994
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
2995
2996
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
2997
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
2998
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
2999
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3000
3001
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3002
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3003
3004
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3005
avoid useless cloning.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3025
3026
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3027
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3028
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3029
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3030
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3031
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3032
and unlock() like so::
3033
3034
work_tree.lock_read()
3035
try:
3036
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3037
finally:
3038
work_tree.unlock()
3039
3040
INTERNALS:
3041
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3042
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3043
object.
3044
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3045
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3046
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3047
3048
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3049
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3050
too. (Robert Collins)
3051
3052
IMPROVEMENTS:
3053
3054
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3055
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3056
Aaron Bentley)
3057
3058
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3059
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3060
3061
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3062
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3063
3064
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3065
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3066
understanding what changes have occurred
3067
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3068
3069
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3070
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3071
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3072
3073
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3074
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3075
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3076
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3077
3078
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3079
#56322)
3080
3081
BUGFIXES:
3082
3083
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3084
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3085
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3086
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3087
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3088
3089
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3090
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3091
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3092
3093
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3094
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3095
3096
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3097
into account.
3098
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3099
3100
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3101
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3102
3103
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3104
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3105
3106
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3107
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3108
3109
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3110
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3111
3112
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3113
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3114
3115
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3116
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3117
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

3120
--------------------
3121
3122
BUGFIXES:
3123
3124
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3125
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3126
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3127
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3128
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3129
3130
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3131
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3132
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3133
3134
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3135
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3136
3137
IMPROVEMENTS:
3138
3139
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3140
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3141
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3142
3143
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3144
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3145
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3146
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

3149
-----------------------
3150
3151
BUGFIXES:
3152
3153
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
3154
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
3155
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
3156
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
3157
3158
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
3159
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
3160
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
3161
3162
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
3163
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
3164
3165
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
3166
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
3167
3168
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
3169
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

3172
-----------------------
3173
3174
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3175
3176
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
3177
it could be recovered again.
3178
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
3179
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
3180
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
3181
but not delete it.
3182
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
3183
files.
3184
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
3185
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
3186
3187
IMPROVEMENTS:
3188
3189
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
3190
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
3191
3192
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
3193
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
3194
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
3195
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
3196
3197
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
3198
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
3199
3200
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
3201
tests with names that match that regular expression.
3202
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
3203
3204
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
3205
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
3206
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
3207
3208
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
3209
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
3210
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
3211
3212
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
3213
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
3214
Robert Collins)
3215
3216
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
3217
Pool)
3218
3219
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
3220
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
3221
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
3222
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
3223
3224
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
3225
(Robert Collins)
3226
3227
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
3228
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
3229
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
3230
(Robert Collins)
3231
3232
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
3233
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
3234
3235
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be

found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
3237
3238
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
3239
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
3240
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
3241
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
3242
(Robert Collins)
3243
3244
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
3245
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
3246
3247
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
3248
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3249
3250
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
3251
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
3252
(Robert Collins, #107125).
3253
3254
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
3255
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
3256
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
3257
3258
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
3259
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
3260
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3261
3262
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
3263
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
3264
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
3265
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
3266
3267
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
3268
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
3269
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
3270
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
3271
3272
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
3273
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
3274
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
3275
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
3276
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
3277
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
3278
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
3279
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
3280
header(s).
3281
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3282
3283
INTERNALS:
3284
3285
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
3286
code paths. (Robert Collins)
3287
3288
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
3289
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
3290
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
3291
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
3292
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3293
3294
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
3295
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
3296
3297
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
3298
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
3299
3300
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
3301
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
3302
3303
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
3304
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
3305
3306
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
3307
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
3308
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
3309
(Robert Collins).
3310
3311
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
3312
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
3313
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
3314
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
3315
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
3316
(Robert Collins)
3317
3318
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
3319
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
3320
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
3321
3322
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
3323
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
3324
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3325
3326
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
3327
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
3328
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
3329
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3330
3331
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
3332
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
3333
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
3334
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
3335
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
3336
3337
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
3338
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
3339
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
3340
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3341
3342
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
3343
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3344
3345
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
3346
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
3347
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
3348
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
3349
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
3350
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
3351
3352
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
3353
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
3354
3355
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
3356
help. (Robert Collins)
3357
3358
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
3359
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3360
3361
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
3362
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
3363
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
3364
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
3365
(John Arbash Meinel)
3366
3367
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
3368
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
3369
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
3370
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
3371
useful. (Robert Collins)
3372
3373
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
3374
(Andrew Bennetts)
3375
3376
BUGFIXES:
3377
3378
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
3379
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
3380
3381
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
3382
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
3383
3384
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
3385
properly and is no longer beneficial.
3386
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
3387
3388
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
3389
(Aaron Bentley)
3390
3391
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
3392
the file, and does it faster.
3393
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
3394
3395
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
3396
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
3397
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
3398
3399
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
3400
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
3401
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
3402
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
3403
3404
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
3405
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
3406
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
3407
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
3408
3409
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
3410
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
3411
3412
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
3413
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
3414
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
3415
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
3416
Arbash Meinel)
3417
3418
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
3419
3420
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
3421
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
3422
3423
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
3424
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
3425
3426
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
3427
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
3428
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
3429
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
3430
security hole.
3431
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3432
3433
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3434
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3435
3436
TESTING:
3437
3438
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3439
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3440
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3441
3442
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3443
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3444
3445
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3446
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3447
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3448
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3449
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3450
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3451
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3452
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3453
3454
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3455
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3456
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3457
3458
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3459
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3460
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
3461
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
3462
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3463
access.
3464
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3465
3466
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3467
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3468
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3469
3470
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3471
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
3490
3491
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
3492
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
3493
(Martin Pool)
3494
3495
IMPROVEMENTS:
3496
3497
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3498
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3499
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3500
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3501
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3502
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3503
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3504
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3505
path. (vila)
3506
3507
INTERNALS:
3508
3509
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3510
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3511
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3512
3513
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3514
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3515
(Martin Pool)
3516
3517
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3518
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3519
(John Arbash Meinel)
3520
3521
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3522
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3523
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3524
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3525
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3526
3527
BUGFIXES:
3528
3529
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3530
(vila, #92195)
3531
3532
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3533
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3534
3535
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3536
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3537
3538
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3539
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3540
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3541
3542
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3543
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3544
3545
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3546
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3547
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3548
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3549
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3550
3551
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3552
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3553
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3554
3555
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

3559
-----------------------
3560
3561
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3562
3563
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3564
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3565
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3566
3567
IMPROVEMENTS:
3568
3569
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3570
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3571
3572
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3573
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3574
3575
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3576
3577
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3578
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3579
3580
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3581
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3582
3583
INTERNALS:
3584
3585
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3586
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
3587
3588
BUGFIXES:
3589
3590
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3591
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3592
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3593
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3594
3595
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3596
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3597
3598
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3599
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3600
3601
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3602
(Marien Zwart)
3603
3604
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
3609
-----------------------
3610
3611
SURPRISES:
3612
3613
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
3614
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
3615
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
3616
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
3617
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
3618
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
3619
3620
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
3621
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
3622
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
3623
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
3624
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
3625
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
3626
development.
3627
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3628
3629
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
3630
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
3631
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
3632
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
3633
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
3634
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
3635
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
3636
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3637
3638
IMPROVEMENTS:
3639
3640
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3641
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3642
3643
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
3644
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
3645
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
3646
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
3647
does exist.
3648
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
3649
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
3650
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
3651
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
3652
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
3653
3654
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
3655
(Aaron Bentley)
3656
3657
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3658
(Aaron Bentley)
3659
3660
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3661
(Robert Collins)
3662
3663
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3664
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3665
(Aaron Bentley)
3666
3667
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3668
(Aaron Bentley)
3669
3670
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3671
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3672
3673
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3674
directory. (Martin Pool)
3675
3676
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3677
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3678
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3679
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3680
3681
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3682
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3683
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3684
in docs/configuration.txt.
3685
3686
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3687
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
3688
bind location.
3689
3690
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
3691
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
3692
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
3693
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
3694
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
3695
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3696
3697
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3698
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3699
3700
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3701
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3702
3703
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
3704
(Aaron Bentley)
3705
3706
INTERNALS:
3707
3708
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
3709
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
3710
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
3711
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
3712
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
3713
(John Arbash Meinel)
3714
3715
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
3716
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
3717
(Aaron Bentley)
3718
3719
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
3720
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
3721
(John Arbash Meinel)
3722
3723
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
3724
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
3725
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
3726
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
3727
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
3728
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
3729
3730
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
3731
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
3732
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
3733
3734
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
3735
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
3736
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
3737
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
3738
repository.
3739
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3740
3741
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
3742
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
3743
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
3744
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
3745
3746
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
3747
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
3748
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
3749
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
3750
3751
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
3752
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
3753
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
3754
3755
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
3756
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
3757
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
3758
3759
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
3760
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
3761
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
3762
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
3763
3764
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
3765
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
3766
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
3767
3768
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
3769
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
3770
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
3771
3772
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
3773
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
3774
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
3775
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
3776
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
3777
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
3778
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
3779
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
3780
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
3781
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
3782
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
3783
3784
BUGFIXES:
3785
3786
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
3787
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
3788
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
3789
3790
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
3791
(Aaron Bentley)
3792
3793
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
3794
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
3795
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
3796
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
3797
3798
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
3799
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
3800
#83954).
3801
3802
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
3803
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
3804
3805
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
3806
3807
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
3808
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
3809
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
3810
3811
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
3812
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
3813
3814
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
3815
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
3816
3817
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
3818
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
3819
3820
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
3821
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
3822
3823
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
3824
3825
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
3826
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
3827
3828
TESTING:
3829
3830

3837
IMPROVEMENTS:
3838
3839
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
3840
3841
BUG FIXES:
3842
3843
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
3844
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
3845
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
3846
3847
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
3848
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
3849
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

3852
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
3853
-----------------------
3854
3855
IMPROVEMENTS:
3856
3857
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
3858
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
3859
server, then you can write over the http connection.
3860
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3861
3862
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
3863
(Marius Kruger)
3864
3865
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
3866
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
3867
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3868
3869
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
3870
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
3871
3872
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
3873
(Aaron Bentley)
3874
3875
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
3876
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
3877
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
3878
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
3879
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
3880
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
3881
3882
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
3883
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
3884
should enable you to do::
3885
3886
[/home/user/project]
3887
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
3888
push_location:policy = appendpath
3889
3890
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
3891
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
3892
(James Henstridge)
3893
3894
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
3895
for each file. For example::
3896
3897
$ bzr status --short
3898
A foo
3899
A bar
3900
D baz
3901
? wooley
3902
3903
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
3904
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
3905
3906
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
3907
3908
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
3909
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
3910
3911
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
3912
3913
INTERNALS:
3914
3915
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
3916
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
3917
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
3918
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
3919
3920
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
3921
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
3922
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
3923
3924
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3925
3926
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
3927
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
3928
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
3929
(Alexander Belchenko)
3930
3931
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
3932
Pool)
3933
3934
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
3935
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
3936
3937
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
3938
3939
BUG FIXES:
3940
3941
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
3942
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
3943
3944
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
3945
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
3946
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
3947
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
3948
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
3949
3950
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
3951
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
3952
3953
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
3954
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
3955
3956
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
3957
matcher.
3958
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
3959
3960
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
3961
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
3962
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
3963
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
3964
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
3965
3966
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
3967
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
3968
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
3969
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
3970
3971
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
3972
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
3973
3974
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
3975
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
3976
3977
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
3978
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
3993
3994
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
3995
tree from a branch.
3996
(Daniel Silverstone)
3997
3998
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
3999
operations are substantially faster.
4000
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4001
4002
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4003
tree from some other url. For example:
4004
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4005
(Daniel Silverstone)
4006
4007
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4008
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4009
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4010
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4011
4012
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4013
(Andrew Bennetts)
4014
4015
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4016
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4017
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4018
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4019
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
4020
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4021
4022
INTERNALS:
4023
4024
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4025
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4026
(Martin Pool)
4027
4028
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4029
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4030
(John Arbash Meinel)
4031
4032
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4033
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4034
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4035
(John Arbash Meinel)
4036
4037
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4038
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4039
4040
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4041
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4042
4043
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4044
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4045
Bennetts)
4046
4047
BUG FIXES:
4048
4049
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4050
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4051
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4052
4053
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4054
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4055
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4056
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4057
4058
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4059
4060
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4061
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4062
4063
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4064
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4065
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4066
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4067
4068
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4069
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4070
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4071
4072
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4073
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4074
them as full references rather than integers.
4075
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4076
4077
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4078
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4079
4080
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4081
4082
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4083
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4084
4085
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4086
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4087
4088
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4089
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4090
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4091
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4092
4093
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4094
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4095
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4096
4097
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4098
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4099
4100
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4101
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4102
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4103
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4104
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4105
4106
TESTING:
4107
4108
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4109
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

4121
-----------------------
4122
4123
IMPROVEMENTS:
4124
4125
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4126
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4127
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4128
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4129
4130
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4131
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4132
4133
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4134
4135
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4136
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4137
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4138
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4139
4140
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4141
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4142
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4143
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4144
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4145
4146
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4147
4148
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4149
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4150
4151
INTERNALS:
4152
4153
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4154
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4155
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4156
4157
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4158
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4159
(John Arbash Meinel)
4160
4161
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4162
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4163
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4164
4165
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4166
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4167
(Aaron Bentley)
4168
4169
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4170
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4171
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4172
4173
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4174
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4175
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4176
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4177
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4178
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4179
4180
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4181
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4182
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4183
(Robert Collins)
4184
4185
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4186
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4187
4188
BUG FIXES:
4189
4190
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4191
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4192
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4193
#63360, #66349)
4194
4195
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4196
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
4197
4198
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4199
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4200
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4201
4202
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4203
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4204
4205
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4206
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4207
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4208
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4209
4210
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4211
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4212
4213
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4214
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4215
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4216
4217
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4218
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4219
4220
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4221
4222
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4223
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4224
#32054)
4225
4226
TESTING:
4227
4228
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4229
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4230
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4231
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4232
4233
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4234
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4235
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4236
4237
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
4238
--------------------
4239
4240
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
4241
4242
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
4243
-----------------------
4244
4245
BUG FIXES:
4246
4247
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
4248
4249
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
4250
Arbash Meinel).
4251
4252
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
4253
-----------------------
4254
4255
IMPROVEMENTS:
4256
4257
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
4258
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
4259
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
4260
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
4261
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
4262
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
4263
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
4264
4265
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
4266
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
4267
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
4268
4269
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
4270
4271
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
4272
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
4273
4274
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
4275
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
4276
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
4277
(Robert Collins)
4278
4279
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
4280
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
4281
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
4282
(John Arbash Meinel)
4283
4284
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
4285
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
4286
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
4287
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
4288
Pool)
4289
4290
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
4291
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
4292
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
4293
(John Arbash Meinel)
4294
4295
BUG FIXES:
4296
4297
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
4298
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
4299
4300
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
4301
4302
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
4303
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
4304
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
4305
4306
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
4307
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
4308
4309
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
4310
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
4311
4312
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
4313
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
4314
4315
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
4316
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
4317
4318
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
4319
4320
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
4321
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
4322
4323
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
4324
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
4325
4326
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
4327
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
4328
4329
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
4330
(John Arbash Meinel)
4331
4332
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
4333
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
4334
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
4335
4336
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
4337
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4338
4339
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
4340
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
4341
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
4342
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
4343
4344
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
4345
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
4346
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
4347
4348
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
4349
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
4350
4351
PORTABILITY:
4352
4353
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
4354
4355
INTERNALS:
4356
4357
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
4358
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
4359
(John Arbash Meinel)
4360
4361
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
4362
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
4363
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
4364
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4365
4366
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
4367
(Andrew Bennetts)
4368
4369
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
4370
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
4371
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
4372
4373
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
4374
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
4375
4376
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
4377
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
4378
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
4379
4380
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
4381
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
4382
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
4383
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
4384
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
4385
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
4386
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
4387
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
4388
caller to repeat their request.
4389
(John Arbash Meinel)
4390
4391
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
4392
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
4393
4394
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
4395
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
4396
4397
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
4398
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
4399
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
4400
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
4401
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
4402
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
4403
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
4404
4405
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
4406
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
4407
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
4408
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
4409
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
4410
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
4411
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
4412
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
4413
(Robert Collins)
4414
4415
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
4416
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
4417
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
4418
4419
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
4420
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
4421
4422
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
4423
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
4424
4425
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
4426
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4427
4428
TESTING:
4429
4430
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
4431
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
4432
4433
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
4434
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
4435
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4436
4437
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
4438
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
4439
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4440
4441
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
4442
--------------------
4443
4444
IMPROVEMENTS:
4445
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
4446
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4447
4448
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
4449
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
4450
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
4451
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
4452
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
4453
4454
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
4455
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
4456
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
4457
4458
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
4459
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
4460
4461
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
4462
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
4463
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4464
4465
BUG FIXES:
4466
4467
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
4468
4469
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
4470
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
4471
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
4472
4473
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
4474
4475
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
4476
4477
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
4478
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
4479
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
4480
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
4481
4482
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
4483
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
4484
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
4485
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
4486
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
4487
4488
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
4489
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
4490
4491
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
4492
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
4493
4494
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
4495
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
4496
4497
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
4498
in handling of revision properties.
4499
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
4500
4501
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
4502
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
4503
4504
INTERNALS:
4505
4506
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
4507
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
4508
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
4509
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
4510
(John Arbash Meinel)
4511
4512
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
4513
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
4514
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4515
4516
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4517
---------------------
4518
4519
SURPRISES:
4520
4521
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
4522
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
4523
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
4524
specific one '.bzrignore'.
4525
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
4526
a more conservative list than the old default.
4527
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
4528
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
4529
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
4530
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
4531
4532
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4533
to more locations than just branch locations.
4534
(Aaron Bentley)
4535
4536
IMPROVEMENTS:
4537
4538
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
4539
revno:N:branch. For example,
4540
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
4541
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4542
4543
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
4544
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
4545
the path of a file that has been versioned.
4546
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
4547
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
4548
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
4549
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
4550
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
4551
#42517, #42514)
4552
4553
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
4554
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
4555
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
4556
(Malone #3507)
4557
4558
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
4559
(Alexander Belchenko)
4560
4561
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
4562
4563
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
4564
(Robert Collins).

* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
4567
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
4568
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
4569
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
4570
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
4571
(John Arbash Meinel)
4572
4573
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
4574
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
4575
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
4576
grained analysis of performance.
4577
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4578
4579
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
4580
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
4581
4582
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
4583
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
4584
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
4585
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
4586
file. (Robert Collins).
4587
4588
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
4589
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
4590
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
4591
4592
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
4593
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
4594
Matthieu Moy)
4595
4596
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
4597
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
4598
4599
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
4600
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
4601
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
4602
the same way you would apply another branch.
4603
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4604
4605
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
4606
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
4607
4608
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
4609
(Michael Ellerman)
4610
4611
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
4612
(Aaron Bentley)
4613
4614
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
4615
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
4616
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
4617
4618
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
4619
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
4620
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
4621
4622
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
4623
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
4624
4625
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
4626
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
4627
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
4628
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
4629
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
4630
4631
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
4632
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
4633
4634
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
4635
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
4636
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
4637
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
4638
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
4639
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
4640
branch is as much as 4x faster.
4641
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
4642
4643
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
4644
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
4645
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
4646
4647
BUG FIXES:
4648
4649
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4650
tests not to run.
4651
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4652
4653
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4654
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4655
4656
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4657
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4658
4659
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4660
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4661
4662
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4663
4664
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4665
(John Arbash Meinel)
4666
4667
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4668
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4669
4670
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4671
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4672
and y.
4673
4674
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4675
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4676
4677
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4678
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4679
4680
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4681
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4682
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4683
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4684
4685
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4686
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4687
4688
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4689
4690
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4691
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4692
4693
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4694
4695
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4696
4697
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4698
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4699
4700
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4701
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4702
4703
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4704
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4705
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4706
4707
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4708
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4709
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4710
4711
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4712
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4713
4714
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4715
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4716
4717
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4718
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4719
4720
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4721
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4722
4723
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4724
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
4725
4726
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
4727
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
4728
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
4729
4730
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
4731
4732
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
4733
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
4734
4735
INTERNALS:
4736
4737
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
4738
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
4739
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
4740
4741
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
4742
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
4743
4744
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
4745
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
4746
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4747
4748
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
4749
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4750
4751
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
4752
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
4753
(Martin Pool)
4754
4755
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
4756
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
4757
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4758
4759
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
4760
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
4761
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4762
4763
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
4764
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
4765
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
4766
4767
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
4768
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
4769
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
4770
4771
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
4772
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
4773
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
4774
4775
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
4776
instead. (Robert Collins)
4777
4778
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
4794
4795
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
4796
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4797
4798
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
4799
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

CHANGES:
4812
4813
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
4814

4816
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
4817
4818
NEW FEATURES:
4819
4820
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into

4835
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
4836
-------------------
4837
4838
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4839
4840
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
4841
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
4842
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
4843
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
4844
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
4845
will keep the same format.
4846
4847
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
4848
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
4849
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
4850
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
4851
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
4852
4853
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
4854
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
4855
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
4856
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
4857
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
4858
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
4859
indicating the current revision of the branch.
4860
4861
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
4862
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
4863
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
4864
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
4865
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
4866
4867
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
4868
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
4869
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
4870
arrangement.
4871
4872
4873
IMPROVEMENTS:
4874
4875
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
4876
convention. Paths now take the form::
4877
4878
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
4879
or
4880
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
4881
4882
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
4883
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
4884
4885
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
4886
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
4887
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
4888
4889
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
4890
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
4891
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
4892
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
4893
4894
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
4895
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
4896
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
4897
4898
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
4899
4900
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
4901
4902
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
4903
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
4904
commits::
4905
4906
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
4907
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
4908
| xargs bzr re-sign
4909
4910
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
4911
4912
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
4913
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
4914
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
4915
(Robert Collins)
4916
4917
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
4918
4919
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
4920
4921
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
4922
'.moved'.
4923
4924
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
4925
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
4926
4927
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
4928
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
4929
Daniel Silverstone)
4930
4931
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
4932
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
4933
Martin Pool)
4934
4935
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
4936
4937
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
4938
4939
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
4940
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
4941
4942
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
4943
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
4944
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
4945
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
4946
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
4947
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
4948
4949
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
4950
4951
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
4952
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
4953
(Robert Collins)
4954
4955
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
4956
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
4957
4958
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
4959
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
4960
4961
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
4962
4963
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
4964
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
4965
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
4966
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
4967
specification by Martin Pool.
4968
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
4969
4970
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
4971
Belchenko)
4972
4973
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
4974
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4975
4976
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
4977
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
4978
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
4979
4980
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
4981
4982
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
4983
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
4984
(Robert Collins)
4985
4986
CHANGES:
4987
4988
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
4989
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4990
4991
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
4992
4993
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
4994
4995
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
4996
(Olaf Conradi)
4997
4998
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
4999
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
5000
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
5001
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
5002
5003
INTERNALS:
5004
5005
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
5006
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
5007
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
5008
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5009
5010
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
5011
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
5012
tried. (Martin Pool)
5013
5014
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
5015
(Martin Pool)
5016
5017
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
5018
5019
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
5020
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
5021
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
5022
5023
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
5024
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5025
5026
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5027
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5028
paths. (Robert Collins)
5029
5030
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5031
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5032
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5033
5034
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5035
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5036
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5037
5038
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5039
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5040
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5041
5042
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5043
(Olaf Conradi)
5044
5045
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5046
(Olaf Conradi)
5047
5048
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5049
5050
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5051
5052
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5053
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5054
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5055
(Robert Collins)
5056
5057
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5058
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5059
5060
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5061
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5062
check. (Robert Collins)
5063
5064
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5065
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5066
5067
TESTING:
5068
5069
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5070
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5071
5072
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5073
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5074
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5075
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5076
5077
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5078
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5079
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5080
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5081
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5082
5083
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5084
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5085
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5086
5087
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5088
5089
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5090
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
5091

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
5093
------------------
5094
5095
CHANGES:
5096
5097
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5098
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5099
5100
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5101
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5102
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5103
(Johan Rydberg)
5104
5105
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5106
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5107
5108
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5109
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5110
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5111
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5112
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5113
5114
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5115
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5116
used. (Robert Collins)
5117
5118
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5119
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5120
(James Henstridge)
5121
5122
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5123
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5124
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5125
5126
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5127
ignore list.
5128
5129
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5130
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
5131
5132
IMPROVEMENTS:
5133
5134
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5135
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5136
5137
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5138
5139
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5140
5141
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5142
tree. (Robert Collins)
5143
5144
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
5145
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
5146
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
5147
(Robert Collins)
5148
5149
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
5150
that they be kept.
5151
5152
* Tweaks to short log printing
5153
5154
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
5155
(Aaron Bentley)
5156
5157
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
5158
occurs. (Martin Pool)
5159
5160
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
5161
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
5162
5163
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
5164
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5165
5166
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5167
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5168
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5169
5170
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5171
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5172
5173
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5174
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5175
requests.
5176
5177
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5178
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5179
5180
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5181
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5182
5183
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5184
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5185
5186
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5187
(Denys Duchier)
5188
5189
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5190
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5191
5192
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5193
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5194
5195
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5196
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5197
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
5198
5199
BUG FIXES:
5200
5201
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
5202
5203
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5204
5205
* Error when run with -OO
5206
5207
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
5208
(Martin Pool)
5209
5210
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5211
5212
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5213
5214
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5215
ignored by diff and status
5216
5217
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5218
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5219
5220
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5221
5222
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5223
5224
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5225
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5226
5227
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5228
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5229
5230
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5231
(Harald Meland)
5232
5233
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5234
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5235
5236
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5237
5238
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5239
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5240
5241
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5242
(Martin Pool)
5243
5244
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5245
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5246
5247
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5248
5249
TESTING:
5250
5251
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5252
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5253
5254
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5255
5256
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5257
5258
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5259
5260
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5261
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5262
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5263
5264
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5265
5266
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5267
(John Arbash Meinel)
5268
5269
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5270
5271
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5272
If adding a new test script please add that to
5273
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5274
5275
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5276
imported. (Martin Pool)
5277
5278
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5279
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5280
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5281
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5282
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5283
(Robert Collins)
5284
5285
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5286
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5287
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5288
5289
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5290
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5291
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5292
5293
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5294
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5295
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5296
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5297
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5298
(Robert Collins).
5299
5300
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5301
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5302
(Robert Collins).
5303
5304
INTERNALS:
5305
5306
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5307
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5308
5309
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5310
function. (Robert Collins)
5311
5312
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5313
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5314
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5315
5316
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5317
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5318
(Robert Collins)
5319
5320
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5321
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5322
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5323
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5324
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5325
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5326
version. (Robert Collins)
5327
5328
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5329
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5330
5331
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5332
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5333
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5334
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5335
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5336
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5337
5338
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5339
(Robert Collins)
5340
5341
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5342
5343
add()
5344
commit()
5345
move()
5346
rename_one()
5347
unknowns()
5348
5349
(Robert Collins)
5350
5351
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5352
5353
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5354
5355
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5356
Pool)
5357
5358
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5359
query method. (Robert Collins)
5360
5361
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5362
(Denys Duchier)
5363
5364
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5365
(Michael Ellerman)
5366
5367
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5368
(Michael Ellerman)
5369
5370
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5371
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5372
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5373
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5374
5375
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5376
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5377
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5378
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5379
5380
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5381
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
5382

bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
5384
------------------
5385
5386
IMPROVEMENTS:
5387
5388
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
5389
(John A Meinel)
5390
5391
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
5392
conflicts.
5393
(Aaron Bentley)
5394
5395
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
5396
a separator, not ':'.
5397
(Aaron Bentley)
5398
5399
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
5400
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
5401
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
5402
5403
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
5404
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
5405
(Robert Collins)
5406
5407
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
5408
has been added that suppresses all output.
5409
5410
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
5411
Adams.
5412
5413
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
5414
Goffredo Baroncelli.
5415
5416
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
5417
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
5418
5419
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
5420
a revision. (Robert Collins)
5421
5422
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
5423
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
5424
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
5425
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
5426
5427
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
5428
5429
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
5430
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
5431
5432
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
5433
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
5434
5435
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
5436
output directory, if one was supplied.
5437
5438
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
5439
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
5440
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
5441
parameters. (Robert Collins)
5442
5443
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
5444
5445
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
5446
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
5447
5448
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
5449
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
5450
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
5451
5452
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
5453
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
5454
5455
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
5456
(Aaron Bentley)
5457
5458
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
5459
5460
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
5461
5462
TESTING:
5463
5464
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
5465
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
5466
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
5467
5468
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
5469
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
5470
related questions. (Robert Collins)
5471
5472
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
5473
is given. (Martin Pool)
5474
5475
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
5476
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
5477
file. (Robert Collins)
5478
5479
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
5480
(Martin Pool)
5481
5482
INTERNALS:
5483
5484
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
5485
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
5486
representation. (Martin Pool).
5487
5488
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
5489
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
5490
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
5491
5492
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5493
(Robert Collins)
5494
5495
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
5496
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
5497
Magnus Therning.

* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5500
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
5501
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5502
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5503
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5504
5505
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5506
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5507
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5508
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5509
python path. (Robert Collins)
5510
5511
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5512
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5513
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5514
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5515
5516
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5517
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5518
5519
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5520
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5521
(Robert Collins)
5522
5523
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5524
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5525
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5526
5527
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5528
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5529
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5530
5531
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5532
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5533
5534
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5535
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5536
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5537
(Robert Collins)
5538
5539
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5540
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5541
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5542
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5543
(Robert Collins)
5544
5545
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5546
(Robert Collins)
5547
5548
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5549
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5550
(Robert Collins)
5551
5552
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
5553
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
5554
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
5555
5556
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
5557
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
5558
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
5559
5560
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
5561
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
5562
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
5563
5564
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5565
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5566
5567
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
5568
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
5569
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
5570
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
5571
caller. (Robert Collins)
5572
5573
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
5574
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
5575
(Robert Collins).
5576
5577
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
5578
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
5579
(Aaron Bentley)
5580
5581
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
5582
5583
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
5584
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
5585
5586
BUG FIXES:
5587
5588
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
5589
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
5590
5591
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
5592
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

5595
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
5596
--------------------
5597
5598
BUG FIXES:
5599
5600
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
5601
allow directories to be listed.
5602
5603
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
5604
upgrading branch format.
5605
5606
PERFORMANCE:
5607
5608
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
5609
5610
5611
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
5612
------------------
5613
5614
NOTES:
5615
5616
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
5617
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
5618
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
5619
high-latency connections.
5620
5621
BUG FIXES:
5622
5623
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
5624
Rob Weir.
5625
5626
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
5627
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
5628
5629
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
5630
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
5631
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
5632
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5633
5634
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5635
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5636
5637
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5638
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5639
5640
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
5641
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
5642
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5643
5644
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
5645
for files with only a change to their executable status.
5646
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
5647
Robert Collins
5648
5649
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5650
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5651
5652
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5653
different partial views of history.
5654
5655
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5656
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5657
5658
IMPROVEMENTS:
5659
5660
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5661
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5662
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5663
5664
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5665
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5666
'bzr upgrade'.
5667
5668
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5669
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5670
5671
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5672
Niemeyer.
5673
5674
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5675
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5676
5677
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5678
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5679
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5680
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5681
5682
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5683
5684
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5685
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5686
Gustavo Niemeyer.
5687
5688
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5689
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5690
5691
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5692
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5693
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5694
5695
5696
INTERNALS:
5697
5698
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5699
for your viewing pleasure.
5700
5701
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5702
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5703
5704
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5705
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5706
handling of such circumstances.
5707
5708
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
5709
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
5710
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
5711
5712
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5713
5714
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5715
we call them revisions not patches.
5716
5717
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5718
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5719
5720
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
5721
giving the revision *of that file*.
5722
5723
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
5724
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
5725
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
5726
5727
TESTING:
5728
5729
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
5730
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
5731
5732
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
5733
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
5734
5735
5736
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
5737
--------------------
5738
5739
BUG FIXES:
5740
5741
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
5742
5743
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
5744
(Robert Collins).
5745
5746
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
5747
5748
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
5749
5750
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
5751
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5752
5753
IMPROVEMENTS:
5754
5755
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
5756
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
5757
5758
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
5759
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
5760
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
5761
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
5762
Robey Pointer
5763
5764
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
5765
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5766
5767
INTERNALS:
5768
5769
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
5770
5771
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
5772
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
5773
5774
5775
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
5776
--------------------
5777
5778
IMPROVEMENTS:
5779
5780
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
5781
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
5782
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
5783
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
5784
Michael Ellerman.
5785
5786
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
5787
(Nir Soffer)
5788
5789
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
5790
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
5791
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
5792
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
5793
for the operating system is still tried.
5794
5795
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
5796
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
5797
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
5798
5799
5800
INTERNALS:
5801
5802
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
5803
5804
BUG FIXES:
5805
5806
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
5807
5808
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
5809
branch.
5810
5811
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
5812
read.
5813
5814
5815
PORTABILITY:
5816
5817
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
5818
5819
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
5820
5821
5822
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
5823
--------------------
5824
5825
NEW FEATURES:
5826
5827
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
5828
help with intelligent shell completion.
5829
5830
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
5831
5832
5833
ENHANCEMENTS:
5834
5835
* Much better merge support.
5836
5837
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
5838
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
5839
like emacs smerge.
5840
5841
5842
BUG FIXES:
5843
5844
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
5845
mention revisions that are not present.
5846
5847
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
5848
5849
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
5850
5851
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
5852
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
5853
5854
5855
CHANGES:
5856
5857
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
5858
5859
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
5860
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
5861
--help themselves.
5862
5863
5864
LIBRARY:
5865
5866
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
5867
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
5868
libraries.
5869
5870
5871
5872
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
5873
--------------------
5874
5875
NEW FEATURES:
5876
5877
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
5878
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
5879
5880
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
5881
5882
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
5883
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
5884
5885
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
5886
FOO.
5887
5888
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
5889
5890
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
5891
the Unix command.
5892
5893
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
5894
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
5895
5896
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
5897
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
5898
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
5899
5900
5901
ENHANCEMENTS:
5902
5903
* Faster working tree operations.
5904
5905
5906
CHANGES:
5907
5908
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
5909
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
5910
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
5911
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
5912
5913
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
5914
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
5915
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
5916
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
5917
standard plugins directory.
5918
5919
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
5920
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
5921
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
5922
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
5923
5924
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
5925
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
5926
5927
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
5928
disk.
5929
5930
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
5931
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
5932
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
5933
5934
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
5935
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
5936
5937
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
5938
line options must come before the command name because they
5939
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
5940
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
5941
it.
5942
5943
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
5944
5945
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
5946
is available with ``--short``.
5947
5948
5949
BUG FIXES:
5950
5951
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
5952
5953
5954
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
5955
---------------------
5956
5957
CHANGES:
5958
5959
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
5960
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5961
5962
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
5963
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
5964
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
5965
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
5966
5967
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
5968
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
5969
with the ``--forward`` option.
5970
5971
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
5972
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
5973
field.
5974
5975
5976
ENHANCEMENTS:
5977
5978
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
5979
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
5980
5981
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
5982
5983
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
5984
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
5985
5986
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
5987
5988
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
5989
either read or write mode.
5990
5991
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
5992
5993
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
5994
affected that file.
5995
5996
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
5997
5998
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
5999
suggested by LarstiQ.
6000
6001
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
6002
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
6003
6004
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
6005
a filename.
6006
6007
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
6008
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
6009
6010
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
6011
haven't changed since the previous time.
6012
6013
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
6014
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
6015
6016
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
6017
6018
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
6019
6020
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
6021
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
6022
6023
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
6024
options through to an external GNU diff.
6025
6026
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
6027
their contents.
6028
6029
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
6030
from a branch.
6031
6032
6033
BUG FIXES:
6034
6035
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
6036
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
6037
6038
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
6039
metacharacters.
6040
6041
6042
TESTING:
6043
6044
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
6045
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
6046
the tests.
6047
6048
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
6049
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
6050
6051
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
6052
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
6053
6054
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
6055
under a different version.
6056
6057
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
6058
6059
6060

6063
6064
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
6065
Scott James Remnant.
6066
6067
* Better help messages for many commands.
6068
6069
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
6070
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
6071
6072
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
6073
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
6074
6075
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
6076
6077
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
6078
6079
* New AtomicFile class.
6080
6081
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
6082
6083
6084
PORTABILITY:
6085
6086

6091
---------------------
6092
6093
ENHANCEMENTS:
6094
6095
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
6096
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
6097
6098
* More default ignore patterns.
6099
6100
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
6101
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
6102
6103
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
6104
6105
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
6106
by Jason Diamon.
6107
6108
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
6109
6110
6111
CHANGES:
6112
6113
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
6114
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
6115
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
6116
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
6117
there are DNS problems.
6118
6119
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
6120
6121
6122
BUG FIXES:
6123
6124
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
6125
6126

6127
6128
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
6129
trailing newlines properly.
6130
6131
6132
INTERNAL:
6133
6134
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
6135
Matt Brubeck.
6136
6137
* More tests in test.sh.
6138
6139
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
6140
directory and delete it when done.
6141
6142
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
6143
6144
6145
PORTABILITY:
6146
6147
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
6148
Bennetts.
6149
6150
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
6151
from QuantumG.

6174
CHANGES:
6175
6176
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
6177
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
6178
will do for now.)
6179
6180
PORTABILITY:
6181
6182
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
6183
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
6184
Nielsen.

6216
6217
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
6218
branch.
6219
6220
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
6221
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
6222
6223
* Performance improvements.
6224
6225
* New global --profile option.
6226
6227
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in

6252
installation easier.
6253
6254

6255
supported).
