IN DEVELOPMENT
9
--------------
10
11
FEATURES:
12
13
14
IMPROVEMENTS:
15
16
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
17
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
18
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
19
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
20
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
21
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
22
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
23
24
25
BUG FIXES:
26
27
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
28
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)

DOCUMENTATION:

TESTING:

36
37
API CHANGES:
38
39
40
INTERNALS:
41
42
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
43
(Ian Clatworthy)
44
45
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
46
putting together a real history without having to create a full
47
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
48
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
49
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
50
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
51
52
53
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
54
-----------------------
55
56
FEATURES:
57
58
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
59
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
60
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
61
62
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
63
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
64
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
65
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
66
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
67
(Ian Clatworthy)
68
69
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
70
71
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
72
``bzr help push``. (Robert Collins)
73
74
IMPROVEMENTS:
75
76
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
77
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
78
(Martin Pool)
79
80
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
81
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
82
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
83
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
84
85
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
86
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
87
(Christophe Troestler)
88
89
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
90
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
91
92
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
93
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
94
faster. The new request method name is
95
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
96
97
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
98
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
99
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
100
101
BUG FIXES:
102
103
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
104
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
105
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
106
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
107
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
108
109
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
110
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
111
112
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
113
requires a branch to be present.
114
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
115
116
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
117
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
118
that Python is running from.
119
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
120
121
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
122
loaded.
123
(Martin Pool, #205230)
124
125
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
126
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
127
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
128
(Martin Pool, #240161)
129
130
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
131
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
132
133
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
134
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
135
136
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
137
name contains an @.
138
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
139
140
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
141
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
142
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
143
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
144
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
145
146
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
147
(Martin Pool, #172870)
148
149
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
150
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
151
152
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
153
Cygwin Bazaar.
154
(Matt McClure, #209281)
155
156
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
157
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
158
159
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
160
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
161
162
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
163
(James Westby, #248448)
164
165
DOCUMENTATION:
166
167
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
168
(Ian Clatworthy)
169
170
* Updated developer documentation.
171
(Martin Pool)
172
173
TESTING:
174
175
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
176
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
177
178
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
179
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
180
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
181
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
182
183
API CHANGES:
184
185
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
186
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
187
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
188
Repository docstring for more details.
189
(Robert Collins)
190
191
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
192
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
193
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
194
195
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
196
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
197
(Daniel Watkins)
198
199
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
200
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
201
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
202
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
203
204
INTERNALS:
205
206
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
207
(Alexander Belchenko)
208
209
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
210
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
211
containing a given location.
212
(Daniel Watkins)
213
214
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
215
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
216
storage. (Robert Collins)
217
218
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
219
(Robert Collins)
220
221
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
222
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
223
(Robert Collins)
224
225
226
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
227
-----------------------
228
229
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
230
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
231
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
232
now faster.
233
234
BUG FIXES:
235
236
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
237
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
238
reading from the repository.)
239
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
240
241
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
242
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
243
244
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
245
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
246
(Andrew Bennetts)
247
248
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
249
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
250
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
251
252
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
253
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
254
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
255
256
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
257
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
258
259
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
260
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
261
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
262
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
263
264
IMPROVEMENTS:
265
266
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
267
268
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
269
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
270
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
271
(Adrian Wilkins)
272
273
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
274
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
275
276
DOCUMENTATION:
277
278
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
279
280
TESTING:
281
282
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
283
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
284
285
API CHANGES:
286
287
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
288
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
289
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
290
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
291
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
292
293
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
294
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
295
296
INTERNALS:
297
298
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
299
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
300
301
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
302
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
303
304
305
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
306
-----------------------
307
308
309
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
310
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
311
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
312
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
313
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
314
and future extensions.
315
316
317
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
318
319
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
320
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
321
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
322
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
323
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
324
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
325
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
326
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
327
328
CHANGES:
329
330
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
331
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
332
(John Arbash Meinel)
333
334
FEATURES:
335
336
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
337
load. (James Westby)
338
339
IMPROVEMENTS:
340
341
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
342
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
343
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
344
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
345
346
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
347
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
348
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
349
350
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
351
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
352
353
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
354
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
355
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
356
357
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
358
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
359
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
360
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
361
step closer to not using full revision history.
362
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
363
364
BUGFIXES:
365
366
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
367
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
368
369
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
370
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
371
372
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
373
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
374
375
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
376
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
377
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
378
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
379
380
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
381
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
382
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
383
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
384
385
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
386
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
387
in use by another process.
388
(Martin Pool)
389
390
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
391
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
392
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
393
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
394
395
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
396
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
397
398
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
399
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
400
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
401
402
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
403
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
404
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
405
406
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
407
them.
408
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
409
410
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
411
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
412
413
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
414
under vim on Mac OS X.
415
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
416
417
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
418
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
419
420
DOCUMENTATION:
421
422
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
423
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
424
425
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
426
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
427
(Ian Clatworthy)
428
429
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
430
and about use of Python reprs.
431
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
432
433
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
434
435
TESTING:
436
437
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
438
(Robert Collins)
439
440
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
441
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
442
443
* New helper function for splitting test suites
444
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
445
446
INTERNALS:
447
448
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
449
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
450
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
451
(John Arbash Meinel)
452
453
API CHANGES:
454
455
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
456
instead. (Martin Pool)
457
458
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
459
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
460
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
461
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
462
463
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
464
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
465
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
466
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
467
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
468
469
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
470
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
471
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
472
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
473
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
474
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
475
476
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
477
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
478
(Martin Pool)
479
480
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
481
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
482
(Robert Collins)
483
484
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
485
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
486
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
487
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
488
489
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
490
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
491
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
492
493
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
494
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
495
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
496
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
497
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
498
(Martin Pool)
499
500
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
501
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
502
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
503
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
504
(Robert Collins)
505
506
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
507
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
508
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
509
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
510
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
511
512
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
513

bzr 1.5 2008-05-16
517
------------------
518
519
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
520
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
521
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
522
523
CHANGES:
524
525
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
526
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
527
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
528
529
DOCUMENTATION:
530
531
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
532
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

537
---------------------
538
539
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
540
541
CHANGES:
542
543
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
544
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
545
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
546
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
547
548
FEATURES:
549
550
IMPROVEMENTS:
551
552
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
553
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
554
555
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
556
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
557
558
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
559
(Aaron Bentley)
560
561
BUGFIXES:
562
563
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
564
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
565
566
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
567
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
568
569
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
570
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
571
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
572
573
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
574
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
575
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
576
577
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
578
(Andreas Deininger)
579
580
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
581
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
582
583
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
584
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
585
586
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
587
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
588
589
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
590
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
591
592
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
593
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
594
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
595
596
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
597
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
598
599
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
600
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
601
602
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
603
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
604
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
605
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
606
607
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
608
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
609
(Martin Pool)
610
611
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
612
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
613
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
614
615
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
616
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
617
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
618
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
619
every revision each side had in common.
620
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
621
622
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
623
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
624
625
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
626
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
627
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
628
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
629
630
DOCUMENTATION:
631
632
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
633
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
634
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
635
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
636
637
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
638
639
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
640
641
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
642
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
643
644
TESTING:
645
646
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
647
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
648
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
649
650
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
651
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
652
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
653
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
654
655
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
656
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
657
658
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
659
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
660
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
661
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
662
663
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
664
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
665
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
666
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
667
668
INTERNALS:
669
670
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
671
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
672
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
673
674
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
675
676
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
677
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
678
679
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
680
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
681
682
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
683
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
684
685
API CHANGES:
686
687
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
688
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
689
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
690
691
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
692
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
693
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
694
(Aaron Bentley)
695
696
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
697
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
698
(Martin Pool)
699
700
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

bzr 1.4 2008-04-28
705
------------------
706
707
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
708
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
709
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
710
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
711
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
712
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
713
and faster performance.
714
715
BUG FIXES:
716
717
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
718
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
719
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
724
---------------------
725
726
BUG FIXES:
727
728
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
729
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
730
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
731
732
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
733
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
734
735
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
736
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
737
738
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
739
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
740
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
741
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for

bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
747
---------------------
748
749
CHANGES:
750
751
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
752
753
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
754
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
755
756
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
757
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
758
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
759
760
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
761
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
762
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
763
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
764
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
765
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
766
Andrew Cowie)
767
768
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
769
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
770
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
771
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
772
773
FEATURES:
774
775
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
776
777
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
778
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
779
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
780
781
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
782
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
783
See the User Reference for signature details.
784
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
785
786
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
787
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
788
789
IMPROVEMENTS:
790
791
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
792
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
793
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
794
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
795
796
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
797
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
798
799
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
800
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
801
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
802
Wouter van Heyst)
803
804
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
805
(Chad Miller)
806
807
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
808
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
809
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
810
811
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
812
(Aaron Bentley)
813
814
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
815
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
816
817
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
818
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
819
820
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
821
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
822
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
823
824
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
825
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
826
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
827
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
828
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
829
830
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
831
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
832
833
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
834
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
835
836
BUGFIXES:
837
838
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
839
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
840
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
841
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
842
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
843
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
844
845
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
846
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
847
848
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
849
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
850
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
851
852
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
853
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
854
855
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
856
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
857
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
858
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
859
860
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
861
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
862
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
863
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
864
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
865
866
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
867
868
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
869
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
870
871
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
872
873
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
874
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
875
876
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
877
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
878
879
DOCUMENTATION:
880
881
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
882
883
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
884
885
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
886
887
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
888
889
API BREAKS:
890
891
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
892
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
893
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
894
895
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
896
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
897
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
898
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
899
900
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
901
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
902
release. (James Westby)
903
904
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
905
(Andrew Bennetts)
906
907
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
908
909
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
910
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
911
912
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
913
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
914
915
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
916
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
917
918
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
919
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
920
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
921
922
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
923
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
924
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
925
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
926
927
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
928
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
929
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
930
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
931
932
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
933
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
934
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
935
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
936
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
937
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
938
939
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
940
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
941
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
942
943
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
944
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
945
946
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
947
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
948
(Robert Collins)
949
950
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
951
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
952
953
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
954
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
955
956
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
957
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
958
959
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
960
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
961
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
962
963
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
964
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
965
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
966
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
967
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
968
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
969
970
TESTING:
971
972
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
973
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
974
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
975
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
976
977
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
978
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
979
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
980
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
981
implement this).
982
(Vincent Ladeuil)
983
984
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
985
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
986
(Vincent Ladeuil)
987
988
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
989
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
990
991
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
992
993
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
994
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
995
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
996
997
INTERNALS:
998
999
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1000
1001
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
1002
(Martin Albisetti)
1003
1004
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
1005
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
1006
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
1007
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
1008
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
1009
(Martin Pool, #109520)
1010
1011
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
1012
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
1013
1014
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
1015
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
1016
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
1017
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
1018
1019
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
1020
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
1021
1022
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
1023
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

1037
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when

1044
------------------
1045
1046
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
1047
1048
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
1049
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
1050
features have been added.
1051
1052
TESTING:
1053
1054
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1063
1064
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
1065
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
1066
1067
CHANGES:
1068
1069
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
1070
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
1071
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
1072
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
1073
(Robert Collins)
1074
1075
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
1076
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
1077
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
1078
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
1079
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
1080
(Alexander Belchenko)
1081
1082
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1083
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1084
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1085
(Alexander Belchenko)
1086
1087
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1088
1089
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1090
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1091
1092
FEATURES:
1093
1094
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1095
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1096
1097
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1098
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1099
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1100
1101
IMPROVEMENTS:
1102
1103
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1104
1105
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1106
1107
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1108
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1109
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1110
1111
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1112
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1113
1114
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1115
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1116
1117
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1118
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1119
(Alexander Belchenko)
1120
1121
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1122
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1123
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1124
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1125
1126
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1127
(Daniel Watkins)
1128
1129
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1130
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1131
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1132
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1133
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1134
1135
BUGFIXES:
1136
1137
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1138
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1139
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1140
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1141
1142
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1143
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1144
1145
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1146
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1147
1148
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1149
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1150
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
1151
1152
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1153
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1154
1155
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1156
#196618)
1157
1158
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1159
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1160
1161
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1162
1163
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1164
1165
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1166
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1167
1168
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1169
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1170
1171
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1172
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1173
1174
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1175
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1176
1177
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1178
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1179
1180
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1181
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1182
1183
DOCUMENTATION:
1184
1185
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
1186
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1187
1188
API BREAKS:
1189
1190
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1191
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1192
(Alexander Belchenko)
1193
1194
TESTING:
1195
1196
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1197
1198
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1199
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1200
(Robert Collins)
1201
1202
INTERNALS:
1203
1204
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1205
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1206
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1207
1208
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1209
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1210
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1211
(Alexander Belchenko)
1212
1213
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1214
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1215
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1216
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1217
1218
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1219
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1220
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1221
(Robert Collins)
1222
1223
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1224
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1225
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1226
1227
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1228
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1229
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1230
1231
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1232
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1233
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1234
format. (Robert Collins)

1248
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1249
1250
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1251
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1252
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1253
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1254
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1255
(Andrew Bennetts)
1256
1257
CHANGES:
1258
1259
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1260
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1261
1262
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1263
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1264
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1265
1266
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1267
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1268
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1269
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1270
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1271
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1272
(Aaron Bentley)
1273
1274
FEATURES:
1275
1276
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1277
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1278
1279
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1280
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1281
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1282
(Robert Collins)
1283
1284
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1285
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1286
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1287
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1288
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1289
1290
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1291
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1292
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1293
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1294
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1295
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1296
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1297
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1298
1299
IMPROVEMENTS:
1300
1301
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1302
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1303
1304
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1305
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1306
1307
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1308
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1309
1310
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1311
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1312
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1313
1314
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1315
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1316
(John Arbash Meinel)
1317
1318
BUGFIXES:
1319
1320
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1321
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1322
1323
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1324
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1325
1326
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1327
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1328
1329
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1330
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1331
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1332
1333
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1334
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1335
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1336
1337
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1338
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1339
1340
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1341
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1342
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1343
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1344
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1345
unittest runner.
1346
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1347
1348
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1349
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1350
#185907)
1351
1352
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1353
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1354
1355
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1356
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1357
1358
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1359
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1360
1361
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1362
more characters which should be considered valid.
1363
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1364
1365
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1366
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1367
1368
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1369
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1370
1371
API BREAKS:
1372
1373
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1374
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1375
1376
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1377
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1378
(Martin Pool)
1379
1380
TESTING:
1381
1382
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1383
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1384
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1385
1386
INTERNALS:
1387
1388
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1389
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1390
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1391
1392
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1393
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1394
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1395
1396
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1397
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1398
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1399
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1400
1401
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1402
1403
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1404
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1405
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1406
server. (Robert Collins)
1407
1408
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1409
operate. (Robert Collins)
1410
1411
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1412
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1413
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1414
1415
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1416
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1417
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1418
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1419
1420
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1421
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1422
1423
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1424
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1425
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1426
1427
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1428
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1429
1430
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1431
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1432
1433
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1434
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1435
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1436
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

1445
---------------------
1446
1447
CHANGES:
1448
1449
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1450
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1451
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1452
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1453
1454
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1455
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1456
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1457
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1458
1459
FEATURES:
1460
1461
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1462
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1463
1464
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1465
(Aaron Bentley)
1466
1467
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1468
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1469
1470
IMPROVEMENTS:
1471
1472
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1473
#90049)
1474
1475
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1476
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1477
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1478
1479
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1480
1481
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1482
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1483
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1484
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1485
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1486
1487
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1488
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1489
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1490
1491
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1492
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1493
1494
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1495
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1496
1497
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1498
1499
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1500
1501
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1502
(Aaron Bentley)
1503
1504
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1505
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1506
1507
BUGFIXES:
1508
1509
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1510
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1511
1512
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1513
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1514
1515
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1516
(Aaron Bentley)
1517
1518
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1519
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1520
1521
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1522
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1523
1524
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1525
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1526
1527
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1528
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1529
1530
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1531
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1532
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1533
1534
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1535
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1536
1537
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1538
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1539
(Aaron Bentley)
1540
1541
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1542
1543
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1544
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1545
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1546
1547
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1548
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1549
1550
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1551
(Aaron Bentley)
1552
1553
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1554
#148087)
1555
1556
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1557
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1558
1559
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1560
#137681)
1561
1562
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1563
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1564
(Aaron Bentley)
1565
1566
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1567
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
1568
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
1569
1570
DOCUMENTATION:
1571
1572
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1573
(Ian Clatworthy)
1574
1575
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1576
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1577
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1578
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1579
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1580
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1581
1582
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1583
1584
INTERNALS:
1585
1586
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
1587
(Aaron Bentley)
1588
1589
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
1590
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1591
1592
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1593
1594
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1595
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1596
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1597
Robert Collins)
1598
1599
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1600
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1601
1602
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
1603
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1604
1605
API BREAKS:
1606
1607
TESTING:
1608
1609
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
1610
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1611
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
1612
1613
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1614
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1615
(Robert Collins)
1616
1617
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1618
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1619
1620
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
1621
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1622
1623
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1624
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1625
1626
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
1627
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
1628
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1629
1630
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1631
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1632
1633
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
1634
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1635
1636
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
1637
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
1638
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1639
1640
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
1641
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
1642
1643
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
1644
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

1671
by mail to the mailing list.
1672
(Martin Pool)
1673
1674
BUGFIXES:
1675
1676
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
1677
1678
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
1679
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
1680
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
1681
feedback but also incur more latency.
1682
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
1683
1684
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
1685
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)

1687
DOCUMENTATION:
1688

1693
1694
INTERNALS:
1695
1696
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the

* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1708
1709
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
1710
(Aaron Bentley)
1711
1712
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
1713
Nordhoff, #172612)
1714
1715
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1716
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1717
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
1718
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1719
1720
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
1721
(Kent Gibson)
1722
1723
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1724
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1725
1726
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1727
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1728
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1729
1730
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1731
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1732
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1733
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1734
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1735
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1736
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1737
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1738
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
1739

* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
1750
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
1751
1752
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
1753
filename to user.
1754
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1755
1756
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1757
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1758
required.
1759
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
1760
1761
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1762
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
1763
1764
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
1765
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
1766
1767

1774
---------------------
1775
1776
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1777
1778
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1779
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1780
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1781
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1782
1783
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1784
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1785
1786
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1787
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1788
1789
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1790
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1791
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1792
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1793
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1794
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1795
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1796
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1797
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1798
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1799
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1800
from any tree without problems.
1801
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
1802
1803
CHANGES:
1804
1805
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1806
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1807
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1808
1809
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
1810
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
1811
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
1812
(Martin Pool)
1813
1814
FEATURES:
1815
1816
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
1817
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
1818
supported transports.
1819
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1820
1821
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
1822
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
1823
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
1824
1825
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1826
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1827
1828
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
1829
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
1830
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
1831
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
1832
1833
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
1834
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
1835
1836
PERFORMANCE:
1837
1838
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
1839
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
1840
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
1841
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1842
1843
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
1844
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
1845
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
1846
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
1847
1848
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
1849
(Robert Collins, #88319)
1850
1851
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
1852
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
1853
1854
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1855
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1856
1857
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1858
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1859
(Aaron Bentley)
1860
1861
IMPROVEMENTS:
1862
1863
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1864
(Aaron Bentley)
1865
1866
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1867
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1868
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1869
1870
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1871
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1872
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1873
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1874
1875
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1876
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1877
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info

1931
on them.
1932
(Martin Pool, #164637)

1942
to be reconciled.
1943
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1944
1945
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1946
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)

1987
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
1988
1989
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
1990
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
1991
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
1992
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
1993
1994
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
1995
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
1996
1997
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
1998
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
1999
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
2000
2001
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
2002
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
2003
2004
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
2005
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
2006
2007
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
2008
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
2009
2010
API BREAKS:
2011
2012
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
2013
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
2014
2015
* The return value of
2016
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
2017
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
2018
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
2019
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
2020
2021
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
2022
(Robert Collins)
2023
2024
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
2025
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
2026
format.
2027
(Martin Pool)
2028
2029
INTERNALS:
2030
2031
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
2032
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
2033
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
2034
Bennetts)
2035
2036
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
2037
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
2038
2039
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2056
2057
CHANGES:
2058
2059
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
2060
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
2061
2062
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
2063
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
2064
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
2065
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
2066
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
2067
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
2068
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
2069
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
2070
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
2071
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
2072
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
2073
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
2074
(Robert Collins)
2075
2076
FEATURES:
2077
2078
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
2079
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
2080
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
2081
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
2082
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
2083
for further details. (Robert Collins)
2084
2085
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
2086
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
2087
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2088
(Robert Collins)
2089
2090
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2091
2092
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2093
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2094
2095
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2096
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2097
(Aaron Bentley)
2098
2099
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2100
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2101
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
2102
2103
PERFORMANCE:
2104
2105
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
2106
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2107
2108
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
2109
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
2110
2111
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
2112
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
2113
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
2114
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
2115
2116
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
2117
(Robert Collins)
2118
2119
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
2120
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
2121
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
2122
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
2123
2124
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
2125
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
2126
2127
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2128
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2129
2130
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2131
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2132
2133
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2134
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2135
2136
IMPROVEMENTS:
2137
2138
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2139
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2140
2141
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2142
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2143
2144
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2145
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2146
2147
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2148
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2149
2150
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2151
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2152
2153
DOCUMENTATION:
2154
2155
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2156
2157
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2158
(Ian Clatworthy)
2159
2160
BUG FIXES:
2161
2162
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2163
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2164
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2165
2166
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2167
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2168
2169
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2170
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2171
2172
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2173
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2174
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2175
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2176
2177
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2178
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2179
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2180
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2181
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2182
2183
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2184
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2185
paramiko.
2186
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2187
2188
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2189
2190
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2191
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2192
2193
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2194
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2195
2196
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2197
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2198
2199
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2200
contains a symbolic link.
2201
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2202
2203
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2204
(James Westby, #140615)
2205
2206
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2207
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2208
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2209
2210
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2211
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2212
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2213
2214
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2215
2216
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2217
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2218
2219
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2220
will remain opened.
2221
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2222
2223
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2224
directory to detect leaking tests.
2225
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2226
2227
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2228
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2229
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2230
2231
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2232
(Rob Weir, #141629)
2233
2234
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2235
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2236
2237
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2238
Merwe)
2239
2240
API BREAKS:
2241
2242
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2243
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2244
2245
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2246
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2247
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2248
2249
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2250
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2251
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2252
2253
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2254
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2255
2256
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2257
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2258
2259
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2260
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2261
(Martin Pool)
2262
2263
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2264
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2265
2266
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2267
class that needs it.
2268
(Martin Pool)
2269
2270
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2271
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2272
2273
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2274
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2275
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2276
2277
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2278
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2279
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2280
(Robert Collins)
2281
2282
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2283
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2284
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2285
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2286
(Robert Collins)
2287
2288
INTERNALS:
2289
2290
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2291
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2292
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2293
2294
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2295
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2296
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2297
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2298
2299
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2300
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2301
(Robert Collins)
2302
2303
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2304
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2305
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2306
2307
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2308
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2309
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2310
2311
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2312
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2313
2314
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2315
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2316
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2317
2318
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2319
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2320
2321
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2322
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2323
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2324
2325
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2326
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2327
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2328
2329
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2330
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2331
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2332
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2333
2334
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2335
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2336
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2337
returned. (Robert Collins)
2338
2339
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2340
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2341
2342
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2343
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2344
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2345
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2346
(Robert Collins)
2347
2348
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2349
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2350
2351
TESTING:
2352
2353
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2354
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2355
2356
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2357
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2358
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2359
makes this behavior available to other users.
2360
(Martin Pool)
2361
2362
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2363
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

2367
-------------------
2368
2369
BUG FIXES:
2370
2371
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2372
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2373
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2374
2375
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2376
2377
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2378
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2379
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2380
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2381
2382
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2383
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
2384
(Andrew Bennetts)
2385
2386
2387
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
2388
----------------------
2389
2390
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
2391
in bzrlib/remote.py.
2392
2393
2394
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
2395
----------------------
2396
2397
CHANGES:
2398
2399
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
2400
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
2401
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
2402
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
2403
(Martin Pool)
2404
2405
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
2406
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
2407
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
2408
(Ian Clatworthy)
2409
2410
FEATURES:
2411
2412
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
2413
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
2414
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
2415
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2416
2417
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
2418
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
2419
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
2420
2421
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2422
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2423
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2424
2425
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2426
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2427
2428
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
2429
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
2430
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
2431
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
2432
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
2433
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
2434
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
2435
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
2436
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
2437
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
2438
2439
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2440
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2441
2442
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
2443
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
2444
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2445
2446
BUG FIXES:
2447
2448
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2449
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2450
2451
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
2452
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
2453
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
2454
2455
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2456
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2457
2458
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2459
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2460
2461
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2462
(Aaron Bentley)
2463
2464
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2465
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2466
2467
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2468
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2469
2470
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2471
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2472
2473
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2474
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2475
2476
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2477
2478
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2479
Watkins, #106726)
2480
2481
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
2482
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
2483
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
2484
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
2485
2486
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2487
2488
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
2489
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
2490
#133548)
2491
2492
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2493
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2494
2495
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2496
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2497
#116143)
2498
2499
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2500
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2501
2502
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2503
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2504
2505
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
2506
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
2507
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
2508
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
2509
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
2510
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
2511
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
2512
2513
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2514
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2515
2516
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2517
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2518
2519
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2520
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2521
2522
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2523
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2524
2525
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2526
connections.
2527
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2528
2529
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2530
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
2531
2532
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
2533
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
2534
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
2535
2536
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2537
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2538
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2539
2540
IMPROVEMENTS:
2541
2542
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2543
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2544
2545
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2546
(Aaron Bentley)
2547
2548
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2549
(Aaron Bentley)
2550
2551
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2552
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2553
2554
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2555
2556
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2557
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2558
2559
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2560
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2561
2562
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
2563
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
2564
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
2565
space). (Robert Collins)
2566
2567
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2568
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2569
(Ian Clatworthy)
2570
2571
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2572
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2573
2574
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2575
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2576
2577
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
2578
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
2579
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
2580
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
2581
2582
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
2583
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
2584
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
2585
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2586
2587
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
2588
(Ian Clatworthy)
2589
2590
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
2591
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
2592
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
2593
2594
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
2595
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
2596
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
2597
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
2598
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
2599
2600
API BREAKS:
2601
2602
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
2603
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2604
2605
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
2606
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
2607
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
2608
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
2609
affected. (Robert Collins)
2610
2611
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
2612
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
2613
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
2614
(Robert Collins)
2615
2616
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2617
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2618
2619
TESTING:
2620
2621
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
2622
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
2623
2624
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
2625
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2626
2627
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2628
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2629
2630
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
2631
(Aaron Bentley)
2632
2633
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
2634
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2635
2636
INTERNALS:
2637
2638
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
2639
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
2640
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
2641
its version information. (Robert Collins)
2642
2643
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
2644
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2645
2646
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
2647
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
2648
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
2649
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2650
2651
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
2652
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
2653
present. (Robert Collins)
2654
2655
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
2656
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
2657
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
2658
API. (Robert Collins)
2659
2660
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
2661
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
2662
(Robert Collins)
2663
2664
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
2665
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
2666
2667
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
2668
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
2669
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
2670
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
2671
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
2672
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
2673
2674
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
2675
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
2676
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
2677
2678
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
2679
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
2680
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
2681
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
2682
protocol.
2683
2684
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
2685
(Aaron Bentley)
2686
2687
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
2688
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
2689
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
2690
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
2691
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
2692
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
2693
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
2694
2695
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
2696
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
2697
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
2698
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
2699
2700
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
2701
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
2702
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
2703
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
2704
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
2705
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
2706
2707
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
2708
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
2709
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
2710
2711
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
2712
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2713
2714
2715
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
2716
-------------------
2717
2718
IMPROVEMENTS:
2719
2720
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2721
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2722
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2723
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2724
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2725
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2726
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
2727
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
2728
2729
2730
API CHANGES:
2731
2732
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2733
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2734
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
2735
2736
2737
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
2738
----------------------
2739
2740
BUGFIXES:
2741
2742
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2743
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2744
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2745
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2746
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2747
2748
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2749
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2750
2751
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2752
anymore.
2753
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2754
2755
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2756
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2757
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2758
2759
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2760
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2761
#111664)
2762
2763
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2764
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2765
2766
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2767
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2768
2769
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2770
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2771
2772
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2773
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2774
2775
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2776
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2777
2778
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2779
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2780
2781
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2782
(Aaron Bentley)
2783
2784
IMPROVEMENTS:
2785
2786
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2787
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2788
2789
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2790
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2791
2792
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2793
the repository (Robert Collins)
2794
2795
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2796
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2797
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2798
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2799
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2800
2801
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2802
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2803
2804
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2805
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2806
(John Arbash Meinel)
2807
2808
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2809
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2810
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2811
about 10%).
2812
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2813
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2814
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2815
(John Arbash Meinel)
2816
2817
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2818
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2819
(Robert Collins)
2820
2821
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2822
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2823
2824
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2825
(Ian Clatworthy)
2826
2827
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2828
2829
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2830
2831
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2832
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2833
2834
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2835
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2836
Meinel)
2837
2838
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2839
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2840
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2841
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2842
2843
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2844
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
2845
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
2846
2847
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
2848
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
2849
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
2850
2851
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2852
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2853
2854
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2855
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2856
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2857
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2858
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2859
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2860
(Ian Clatworthy)
2861
2862
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2863
(Alexander Belchenko)
2864
2865
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2866
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2867
2868
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2869
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2870
2871
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2872
2873
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2874
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2875
2876
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2877
2878
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2879
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2880
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2881
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2882
2883
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2884
2885
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2886
(Robert Collins)
2887
2888
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2889
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2890
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2891
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2892
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2893
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2894
2895
INTERNALS:
2896
2897
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2898
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2899
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2900
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2901
2902
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2903
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2904
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2905
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2906
tests have been refactored too.
2907
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2908
2909
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2910
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2911
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2912
list, it will.
2913
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2914
2915
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2916
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2917
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2918
2919
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2920
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2921
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2922
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2923
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2924
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2925
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2926
2927
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2928
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2929
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2930
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2931
(John Arbash Meinel)
2932
2933
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2934
functionality for testing.
2935
2936
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2937
2938
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2939
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2940
2941
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2942
2943
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2944
(Robert Collins)
2945
2946
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2947
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2948
2949
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2950
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2951
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2952
2953
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2954
(Aaron Bentley)
2955
2956
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2957
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2958
2959
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2960
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2961
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2962
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2963
2964
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2965
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2966
2967
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2968
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2969
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2970
2971
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2972
(Marius Kruger)
2973
2974
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2975
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2976
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2977
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2978
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
2979
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2980
2981
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
2982
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
2983
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
2984
many files. (Robert Collins)
2985
2986
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
2987
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
2988
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
2989
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
2990
2991
TESTING:
2992
2993
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
2994
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
2995
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
2996
2997
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
2998
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
2999
3000
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
3001
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
3002
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
3017
3018
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
3019
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
3020
3021
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
3022
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
3023
(James Westby, #122656)
3024
3025
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
3026
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
3027
3028
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
3029
authentication header.
3030
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
3031
3032
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
3033
3034
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
3035
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
3036
3037
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
3038
3039
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
3040
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
3041
3042
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
3043
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
3044
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
3045
3046
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
3047
individually and as part of revision ranges.
3048
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
3049
3050
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
3051
(Martin Pool, #109169)
3052
3053
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
3054
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
3055
3056
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
3057
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
3058
3059
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3060
3061
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
3062
3063
IMPROVEMENTS:
3064
3065
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
3066
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
3067
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
3068
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
3069
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
3070
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
3071
3072
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
3073
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
3074
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
3075
3076
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
3077
(Elliot Murphy)
3078
3079
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
3080
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
3081
3082
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
3083
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
3084
3085
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
3086
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
3087
3088
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3089
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3090
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3091
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3092
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3093
3094
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3095
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3096
3097
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3098
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3099
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3100
3101
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3102
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
3103
3104
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
3105
3106
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
3107
output. (Aaron Bentley)
3108
3109
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
3110
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
3111
(Robert Collins)
3112
3113
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
3114
(Martin Pool)
3115
3116
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
3117
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
3118
3119
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
3120
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
3121
3122
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
3123
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
3124
3125
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
3126
3127
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3128
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
3129
3130
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
3131
(Andrew Bennetts)
3132
3133
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3134
3135
* Testing cleanups -
3136
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3137
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
3138
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3139
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
3140
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3141
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
3142
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3143
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
3144
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3145
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
3146
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
3147
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
3148
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3149
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
3150
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3151
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3152
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
3153
(Robert Collins)
3154
3155
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3156
3157
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3158
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3159
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3160
3161
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3162
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3163
3164
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3165
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3166
3167
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3168
3169
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3170
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3171
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3172
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3173
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3174
same location. (Robert Collins)
3175
3176
INTERNALS:
3177
3178
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3179
3180
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3181
3182
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3183
3184
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3185
(Martin Pool)
3186
3187
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3188
(Martin Pool)
3189
3190
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3191
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3192
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3193
3194
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3195
3196
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3197
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3198
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3199
3200
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3201
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3202
3203
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3204
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3205
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3206
3207
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3208
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3209
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3210
3211
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3212
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3213
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3214
3215
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3216
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3217
Martin Pool)
3218
3219
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3220
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3221
3222
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3223
(Alexander Belchenko)
3224
3225
TESTING:
3226
3227
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3228
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3229
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3230
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3231
3232
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3233
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3234
testing. (Robert Collins)
3235
3236
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3237
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3238
3239
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3240
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3241
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3242
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3243
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3244
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3245
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3246
3247
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3248
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3249
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3250
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3251
3252
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3253
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3254
3255
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3256
avoid useless cloning.

3275
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3276
3277
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3278
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3279
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3280
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3281
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3282
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3283
and unlock() like so::
3284
3285
work_tree.lock_read()
3286
try:
3287
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3288
finally:
3289
work_tree.unlock()
3290
3291
INTERNALS:
3292
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3293
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3294
object.
3295
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3296
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3297
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3298
3299
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3300
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3301
too. (Robert Collins)
3302
3303
IMPROVEMENTS:
3304
3305
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3306
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3307
Aaron Bentley)
3308
3309
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3310
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3311
3312
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3313
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3314
3315
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3316
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3317
understanding what changes have occurred
3318
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3319
3320
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3321
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3322
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3323
3324
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3325
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3326
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3327
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3328
3329
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3330
#56322)
3331
3332
BUGFIXES:
3333
3334
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3335
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3336
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3337
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3338
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3339
3340
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3341
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3342
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3343
3344
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3345
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3346
3347
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3348
into account.
3349
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3350
3351
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3352
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3353
3354
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3355
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3356
3357
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3358
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3359
3360
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3361
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3362
3363
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3364
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3365
3366
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3367
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3368
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

--------------------
3372
3373
BUGFIXES:
3374
3375
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3376
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3377
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3378
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3379
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3380
3381
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3382
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3383
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3384
3385
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3386
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3387
3388
IMPROVEMENTS:
3389
3390
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3391
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3392
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3393
3394
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3395
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3396
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3397
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

3400
-----------------------
3401
3402
BUGFIXES:
3403
3404
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
3405
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
3406
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
3407
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
3408
3409
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
3410
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
3411
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
3412
3413
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
3414
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
3415
3416
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
3417
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
3418
3419
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
3420
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

3422
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
3423
-----------------------
3424
3425
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3426
3427
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
3428
it could be recovered again.
3429
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
3430
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
3431
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
3432
but not delete it.
3433
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
3434
files.
3435
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
3436
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
3437
3438
IMPROVEMENTS:
3439
3440
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
3441
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
3442
3443
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
3444
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
3445
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
3446
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
3447
3448
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
3449
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
3450
3451
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
3452
tests with names that match that regular expression.
3453
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
3454
3455
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
3456
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
3457
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
3458
3459
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
3460
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
3461
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
3462
3463
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
3464
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
3465
Robert Collins)
3466
3467
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
3468
Pool)
3469
3470
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
3471
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
3472
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
3473
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
3474
3475
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
3476
(Robert Collins)
3477
3478
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
3479
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
3480
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
3481
(Robert Collins)
3482
3483
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
3484
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
3485
3486
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
3487
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
3488
3489
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
3490
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
3491
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
3492
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
3493
(Robert Collins)
3494
3495
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
3496
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
3497
3498
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
3499
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3500
3501
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
3502
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
3503
(Robert Collins, #107125).
3504
3505
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
3506
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
3507
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
3508
3509
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
3510
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
3511
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3512
3513
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
3514
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
3515
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
3516
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
3517
3518
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
3519
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
3520
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
3521
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
3522
3523
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
3524
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
3525
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
3526
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
3527
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
3528
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
3529
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
3530
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
3531
header(s).
3532
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3533
3534
INTERNALS:
3535
3536
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
3537
code paths. (Robert Collins)
3538
3539
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
3540
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
3541
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
3542
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
3543
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3544
3545
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
3546
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
3547
3548
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
3549
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
3550
3551
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
3552
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
3553
3554
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
3555
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
3556
3557
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
3558
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
3559
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
3560
(Robert Collins).
3561
3562
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
3563
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
3564
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
3565
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
3566
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
3567
(Robert Collins)
3568
3569
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
3570
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
3571
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
3572
3573
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
3574
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
3575
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3576
3577
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
3578
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
3579
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
3580
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3581
3582
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
3583
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
3584
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
3585
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
3586
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
3587
3588
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
3589
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
3590
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
3591
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3592
3593
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
3594
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3595
3596
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
3597
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
3598
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
3599
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
3600
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
3601
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
3602
3603
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
3604
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
3605
3606
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
3607
help. (Robert Collins)
3608
3609
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
3610
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3611
3612
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
3613
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
3614
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
3615
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
3616
(John Arbash Meinel)
3617
3618
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
3619
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
3620
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
3621
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
3622
useful. (Robert Collins)
3623
3624
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
3625
(Andrew Bennetts)
3626
3627
BUGFIXES:
3628
3629
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
3630
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
3631
3632
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
3633
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
3634
3635
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
3636
properly and is no longer beneficial.
3637
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
3638
3639
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
3640
(Aaron Bentley)
3641
3642
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
3643
the file, and does it faster.
3644
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
3645
3646
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
3647
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
3648
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
3649
3650
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
3651
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
3652
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
3653
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
3654
3655
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
3656
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
3657
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
3658
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
3659
3660
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
3661
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
3662
3663
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
3664
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
3665
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
3666
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
3667
Arbash Meinel)
3668
3669
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
3670
3671
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
3672
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
3673
3674
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
3675
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
3676
3677
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
3678
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
3679
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
3680
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
3681
security hole.
3682
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3683
3684
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3685
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3686
3687
TESTING:
3688
3689
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3690
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3691
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3692
3693
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3694
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3695
3696
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3697
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3698
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3699
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3700
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3701
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3702
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3703
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3704
3705
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3706
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3707
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3708
3709
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3710
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3711
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
3712
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
3713
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3714
access.
3715
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3716
3717
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3718
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3719
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3720
3721
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3722
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

3740
CHANGES:
3741
3742
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
3743
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
3744
(Martin Pool)
3745
3746
IMPROVEMENTS:
3747
3748
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3749
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3750
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3751
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3752
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3753
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3754
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3755
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3756
path. (vila)
3757
3758
INTERNALS:
3759
3760
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3761
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3762
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3763
3764
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3765
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3766
(Martin Pool)
3767
3768
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3769
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3770
(John Arbash Meinel)
3771
3772
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3773
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3774
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3775
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3776
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3777
3778
BUGFIXES:
3779
3780
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3781
(vila, #92195)
3782
3783
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3784
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3785
3786
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3787
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3788
3789
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3790
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3791
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3792
3793
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3794
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3795
3796
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3797
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3798
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3799
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3800
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3801
3802
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3803
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3804
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3805
3806
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

3810
-----------------------
3811
3812
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3813
3814
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3815
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3816
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3817
3818
IMPROVEMENTS:
3819
3820
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3821
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3822
3823
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3824
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3825
3826
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3827
3828
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3829
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3830
3831
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3832
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3833
3834
INTERNALS:
3835
3836
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3837
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
3838
3839
BUGFIXES:
3840
3841
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3842
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3843
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3844
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3845
3846
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3847
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3848
3849
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3850
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3851
3852
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3853
(Marien Zwart)
3854
3855
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

3859
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
3860
-----------------------
3861
3862
SURPRISES:
3863
3864
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
3865
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
3866
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
3867
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
3868
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
3869
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
3870
3871
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
3872
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
3873
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
3874
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
3875
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
3876
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
3877
development.
3878
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3879
3880
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
3881
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
3882
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
3883
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
3884
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
3885
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
3886
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
3887
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3888
3889
IMPROVEMENTS:
3890
3891
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3892
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3893
3894
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
3895
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
3896
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
3897
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
3898
does exist.
3899
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
3900
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
3901
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
3902
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
3903
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
3904
3905
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
3906
(Aaron Bentley)
3907
3908
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3909
(Aaron Bentley)
3910
3911
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3912
(Robert Collins)
3913
3914
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3915
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3916
(Aaron Bentley)
3917
3918
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3919
(Aaron Bentley)
3920
3921
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3922
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3923
3924
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3925
directory. (Martin Pool)
3926
3927
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3928
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3929
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3930
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3931
3932
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3933
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3934
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3935
in docs/configuration.txt.
3936
3937
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3938
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
3939
bind location.
3940
3941
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
3942
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
3943
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
3944
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
3945
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
3946
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3947
3948
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3949
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3950
3951
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3952
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3953
3954
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
3955
(Aaron Bentley)
3956
3957
INTERNALS:
3958
3959
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
3960
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
3961
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
3962
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
3963
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
3964
(John Arbash Meinel)
3965
3966
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
3967
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
3968
(Aaron Bentley)
3969
3970
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
3971
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
3972
(John Arbash Meinel)
3973
3974
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
3975
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
3976
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
3977
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
3978
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
3979
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
3980
3981
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
3982
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
3983
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
3984
3985
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
3986
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
3987
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
3988
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
3989
repository.
3990
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3991
3992
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
3993
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
3994
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
3995
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
3996
3997
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
3998
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
3999
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
4000
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
4001
4002
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
4003
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
4004
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
4005
4006
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
4007
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
4008
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
4009
4010
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
4011
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
4012
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
4013
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
4014
4015
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
4016
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
4017
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
4018
4019
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
4020
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
4021
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
4022
4023
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
4024
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
4025
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
4026
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
4027
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
4028
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
4029
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
4030
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
4031
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
4032
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
4033
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
4034
4035
BUGFIXES:
4036
4037
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
4038
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
4039
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
4040
4041
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
4042
(Aaron Bentley)
4043
4044
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
4045
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
4046
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
4047
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
4048
4049
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
4050
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
4051
#83954).
4052
4053
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
4054
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
4055
4056
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
4057
4058
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
4059
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
4060
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
4061
4062
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
4063
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
4064
4065
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
4066
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
4067
4068
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
4069
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
4070
4071
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
4072
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
4073
4074
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
4075
4076
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
4077
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
4078
4079
TESTING:
4080
4081
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
4082
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

--------------------
4087
4088
IMPROVEMENTS:
4089
4090
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
4091
4092
BUG FIXES:
4093
4094
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4095
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4096
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4097
4098
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
4099
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
4100
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

4103
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
4104
-----------------------
4105
4106
IMPROVEMENTS:
4107
4108
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
4109
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
4110
server, then you can write over the http connection.
4111
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4112
4113
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
4114
(Marius Kruger)
4115
4116
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
4117
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
4118
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4119
4120
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
4121
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
4122
4123
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
4124
(Aaron Bentley)
4125
4126
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
4127
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
4128
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
4129
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
4130
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
4131
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
4132
4133
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
4134
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
4135
should enable you to do::
4136
4137
[/home/user/project]
4138
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
4139
push_location:policy = appendpath
4140
4141
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
4142
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
4143
(James Henstridge)
4144
4145
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
4146
for each file. For example::
4147
4148
$ bzr status --short
4149
A foo
4150
A bar
4151

* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
4155
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
4156
4157
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
4158
4159
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
4160
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
4161
4162
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
4163
4164
INTERNALS:
4165
4166
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
4167
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
4168
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
4169
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
4170
4171
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
4172
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
4173
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
4174
4175
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4176
4177
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
4178
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
4179
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
4180
(Alexander Belchenko)
4181
4182
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
4183
Pool)
4184
4185
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
4186
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
4187
4188
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
4189
4190
BUG FIXES:
4191
4192
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
4193
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
4194
4195
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
4196
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
4197
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
4198
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
4199
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
4200
4201
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
4202
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
4203
4204
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
4205
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4206
4207
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4208
matcher.
4209
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4210
4211
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4212
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4213
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4214
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4215
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4216
4217
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4218
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4219
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4220
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4221
4222
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4223
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4224
4225
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4226
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4227
4228
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4229
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
4230
4231
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

4243
IMPROVEMENTS:
4244
4245
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4246
tree from a branch.
4247
(Daniel Silverstone)
4248
4249
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4250
operations are substantially faster.
4251
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4252
4253
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4254
tree from some other url. For example:
4255
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4256
(Daniel Silverstone)
4257
4258
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4259
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4260
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4261
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4262
4263
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4264
(Andrew Bennetts)
4265
4266
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4267
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4268
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4269
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4270
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
4271
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4272
4273
INTERNALS:
4274
4275
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4276
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4277
(Martin Pool)
4278
4279
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4280
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4281
(John Arbash Meinel)
4282
4283
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4284
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4285
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4286
(John Arbash Meinel)
4287
4288
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4289
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4290
4291
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4292
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4293
4294
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4295
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4296
Bennetts)
4297
4298
BUG FIXES:
4299
4300
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4301
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4302
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4303
4304
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4305
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4306
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4307
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4308
4309
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4310
4311
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4312
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4313
4314
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4315
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4316
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4317
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4318
4319
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4320
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4321
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4322
4323
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4324
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4325
them as full references rather than integers.
4326
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4327
4328
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4329
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4330
4331
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4332
4333
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4334
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4335
4336
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4337
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4338
4339
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4340
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4341
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4342
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4343
4344
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4345
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4346
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4347
4348
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4349
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4350
4351
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4352
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4353
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4354
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4355
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4356
4357
TESTING:
4358
4359
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4360
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

4363
--------------------
4364
4365
INTERNALS:
4366
4367
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,

4371
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
4372
-----------------------
4373
4374
IMPROVEMENTS:
4375
4376
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4377
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4378
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4379
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4380
4381
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4382
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4383
4384
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4385
4386
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4387
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4388
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4389
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4390
4391
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4392
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4393
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4394
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4395
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4396
4397
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4398
4399
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4400
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4401
4402
INTERNALS:
4403
4404
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4405
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4406
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4407
4408
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4409
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4410
(John Arbash Meinel)
4411
4412
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4413
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4414
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4415
4416
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4417
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4418
(Aaron Bentley)
4419
4420
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4421
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4422
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4423
4424
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4425
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4426
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4427
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4428
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4429
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4430
4431
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4432
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4433
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4434
(Robert Collins)
4435
4436
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4437
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4438
4439
BUG FIXES:
4440
4441
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4442
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4443
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4444
#63360, #66349)
4445
4446
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4447
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
4448
4449
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4450
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4451
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4452
4453
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4454
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4455
4456
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4457
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4458
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4459
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4460
4461
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4462
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4463
4464
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4465
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4466
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4467
4468
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4469
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4470
4471
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4472
4473
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4474
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4475
#32054)
4476
4477
TESTING:
4478
4479
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4480
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4481
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4482
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4483
4484
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4485
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4486
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4487

4504
-----------------------
4505
4506
IMPROVEMENTS:
4507
4508
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
4509
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
4510
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
4511
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
4512
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
4513
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
4514
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
4515
4516
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
4517
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
4518
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
4519
4520
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
4521
4522
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
4523
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
4524
4525
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
4526
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
4527
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
4528
(Robert Collins)
4529
4530
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
4531
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
4532
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
4533
(John Arbash Meinel)
4534
4535
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
4536
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
4537
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
4538
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
4539
Pool)
4540
4541
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
4542
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
4543
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
4544
(John Arbash Meinel)
4545
4546
BUG FIXES:
4547
4548
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
4549
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
4550
4551
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
4552
4553
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
4554
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
4555
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
4556
4557
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
4558
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
4559
4560
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
4561
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
4562
4563
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
4564
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
4565
4566
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
4567
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
4568
4569
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
4570
4571
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
4572
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
4573
4574
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
4575
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
4576
4577
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
4578
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
4579
4580
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
4581
(John Arbash Meinel)
4582
4583
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
4584
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
4585
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
4586
4587
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
4588
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4589
4590
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
4591
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
4592
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
4593
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
4594
4595
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
4596
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
4597
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
4598
4599
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
4600
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
4601
4602
PORTABILITY:
4603
4604
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
4605
4606
INTERNALS:
4607
4608
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
4609
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
4610
(John Arbash Meinel)
4611
4612
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
4613
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
4614
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
4615
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4616
4617
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
4618
(Andrew Bennetts)
4619
4620
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
4621
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
4622
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
4623
4624
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
4625
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
4626
4627
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
4628
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
4629
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
4630
4631
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
4632
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
4633
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
4634
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
4635
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
4636
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
4637
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
4638
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
4639
caller to repeat their request.
4640
(John Arbash Meinel)
4641
4642
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
4643
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
4644
4645
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
4646
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
4647
4648
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
4649
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
4650
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
4651
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
4652
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
4653
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
4654
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
4655
4656
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
4657
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
4658
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
4659
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
4660
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
4661
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
4662
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
4663
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
4664
(Robert Collins)
4665
4666
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
4667
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
4668
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
4669
4670
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
4671
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
4672
4673
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
4674
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
4675
4676
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
4677
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4678
4679
TESTING:
4680
4681
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
4682
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
4683
4684
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
4685
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
4686
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4687
4688
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
4689
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
4690
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4691
4692
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
4693
--------------------
4694
4695
IMPROVEMENTS:
4696
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
4697
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4698
4699
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
4700
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
4701
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
4702
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
4703
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
4704
4705
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
4706
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
4707
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
4708
4709
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
4710
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
4711
4712
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
4713
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
4714
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4715
4716
BUG FIXES:
4717
4718
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
4719
4720
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
4721
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
4722
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
4723
4724
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
4725
4726
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
4727
4728
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
4729
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
4730
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
4731
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
4732
4733
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
4734
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
4735
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
4736
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
4737
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
4738
4739
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
4740
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
4741
4742
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
4743
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
4744
4745
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
4746
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
4747
4748
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
4749
in handling of revision properties.
4750
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
4751
4752
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
4753
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
4754
4755
INTERNALS:
4756
4757
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
4758
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
4759
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
4760
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
4761
(John Arbash Meinel)
4762
4763
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
4764
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
4765
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4766
4767
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4768
---------------------
4769
4770
SURPRISES:
4771
4772
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
4773
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
4774
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
4775
specific one '.bzrignore'.
4776
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
4777
a more conservative list than the old default.
4778
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
4779
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
4780
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
4781
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
4782
4783
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4784
to more locations than just branch locations.
4785
(Aaron Bentley)
4786
4787
IMPROVEMENTS:
4788
4789
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
4790
revno:N:branch. For example,
4791
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
4792
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4793
4794
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
4795
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
4796
the path of a file that has been versioned.
4797
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
4798
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
4799
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
4800
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
4801
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
4802
#42517, #42514)
4803
4804
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
4805
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
4806
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
4807
(Malone #3507)
4808
4809
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
4810
(Alexander Belchenko)
4811
4812
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
4813
4814
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
4815
(Robert Collins).
4816
4817
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
4818
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
4819
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
4820
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
4821
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
4822
(John Arbash Meinel)
4823
4824
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
4825
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
4826
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
4827
grained analysis of performance.
4828
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4829
4830
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
4831
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
4832
4833
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
4834
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
4835
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
4836
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
4837
file. (Robert Collins).
4838
4839
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
4840
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
4841
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
4842
4843
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
4844
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
4845
Matthieu Moy)
4846
4847
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
4848
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
4849
4850
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
4851
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
4852
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
4853
the same way you would apply another branch.
4854
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4855
4856
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
4857
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
4858
4859
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
4860
(Michael Ellerman)
4861
4862
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
4863
(Aaron Bentley)
4864
4865
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
4866
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
4867
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
4868
4869
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
4870
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
4871
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
4872
4873
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
4874
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
4875
4876
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
4877
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
4878
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
4879
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
4880
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
4881
4882
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
4883
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
4884
4885
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
4886
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
4887
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
4888
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
4889
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
4890
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
4891
branch is as much as 4x faster.
4892
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
4893
4894
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
4895
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
4896
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
4897
4898
BUG FIXES:
4899
4900
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4901
tests not to run.
4902
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4903
4904
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4905
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4906
4907
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4908
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4909
4910
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4911
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4912
4913
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4914
4915
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4916
(John Arbash Meinel)
4917
4918
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4919
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4920
4921
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4922
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4923
and y.
4924
4925
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4926
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4927
4928
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4929
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4930
4931
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4932
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4933
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4934
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4935
4936
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4937
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4938
4939
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4940
4941
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4942
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4943
4944
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4945
4946
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4947
4948
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4949
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4950
4951
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4952
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4953
4954
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4955
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4956
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4957
4958
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4959
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4960
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4961
4962
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4963
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4964
4965
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4966
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4967
4968
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4969
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4970
4971
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4972
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4973
4974
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4975
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
4976
4977
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
4978
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
4979
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
4980
4981
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
4982
4983
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
4984
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
4985
4986
INTERNALS:
4987
4988
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
4989
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
4990
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
4991
4992
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
4993
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
4994
4995
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
4996
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
4997
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4998
4999
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
5000
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5001
5002
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
5003
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
5004
(Martin Pool)
5005
5006
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
5007
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
5008
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5009
5010
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
5011
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
5012
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5013
5014
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
5015
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
5016
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
5017
5018
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.

bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
5087
-------------------
5088
5089
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5090
5091
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
5092
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
5093
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
5094
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
5095
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
5096
will keep the same format.
5097
5098
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
5099
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
5100
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
5101
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
5102
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
5103
5104
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
5105
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
5106
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
5107
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
5108
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
5109
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
5110
indicating the current revision of the branch.
5111
5112
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
5113
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
5114
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
5115
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
5116
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
5117
5118
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
5119
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
5120
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
5121
arrangement.
5122
5123
5124
IMPROVEMENTS:
5125
5126
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
5127
convention. Paths now take the form::
5128
5129
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
5130
or
5131
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
5132
5133
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
5134
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
5135
5136
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
5137
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
5138
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
5139
5140
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
5141
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
5142
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
5143
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
5144
5145
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
5146
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
5147
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
5148
5149
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
5150
5151
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
5152
5153
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
5154
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
5155
commits::
5156
5157
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
5158
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
5159
| xargs bzr re-sign
5160
5161
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
5162
5163
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
5164
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
5165
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
5166
(Robert Collins)
5167
5168
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
5169
5170
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
5171
5172
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
5173
'.moved'.
5174
5175
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
5176
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
5177
5178
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
5179
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
5180
Daniel Silverstone)
5181
5182
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
5183
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
5184
Martin Pool)
5185
5186
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
5187
5188
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
5189
5190
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
5191
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
5192
5193
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
5194
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
5195
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
5196
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
5197
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
5198
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
5199
5200
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
5201
5202
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
5203
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
5204
(Robert Collins)
5205
5206
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
5207
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
5208
5209
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
5210
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
5211
5212
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
5213
5214
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
5215
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
5216
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
5217
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
5218
specification by Martin Pool.
5219
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
5220
5221
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
5222
Belchenko)
5223
5224
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
5225
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5226
5227
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
5228
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
5229
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
5230
5231
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
5232
5233
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
5234
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
5235
(Robert Collins)
5236
5237
CHANGES:
5238
5239
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
5240
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5241
5242
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
5243
5244
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
5245
5246
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
5247
(Olaf Conradi)
5248
5249
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
5250
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
5251
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
5252
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
5253
5254
INTERNALS:
5255
5256
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
5257
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
5258
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
5259
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5260
5261
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
5262
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
5263
tried. (Martin Pool)
5264
5265
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
5266
(Martin Pool)
5267
5268
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
5269
5270
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
5271
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
5272
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
5273
5274
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
5275
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5276
5277
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5278
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5279
paths. (Robert Collins)
5280
5281
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5282
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5283
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5284
5285
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5286
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5287
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5288
5289
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5290
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5291
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5292
5293
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5294
(Olaf Conradi)
5295
5296
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5297
(Olaf Conradi)
5298
5299
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5300
5301
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5302
5303
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5304
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5305
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5306
(Robert Collins)
5307
5308
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5309
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5310
5311
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5312
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5313
check. (Robert Collins)
5314
5315
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5316
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5317
5318
TESTING:
5319
5320
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5321
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5322
5323
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5324
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5325
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5326
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5327
5328
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5329
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5330
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5331
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5332
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5333
5334
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5335
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5336
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5337
5338
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5339
5340
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5341
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
5342

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
5344
------------------
5345
5346
CHANGES:
5347
5348
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5349
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5350
5351
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5352
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5353
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5354
(Johan Rydberg)
5355
5356
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5357
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5358
5359
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5360
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5361
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5362
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5363
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5364
5365
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5366
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5367
used. (Robert Collins)
5368
5369
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5370
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5371
(James Henstridge)
5372
5373
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5374
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5375
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5376
5377
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5378
ignore list.
5379
5380
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5381
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
5382
5383
IMPROVEMENTS:
5384
5385
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5386
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5387
5388
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5389
5390
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5391
5392
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5393
tree. (Robert Collins)
5394
5395
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
5396
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
5397
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
5398
(Robert Collins)
5399
5400
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
5401
that they be kept.
5402
5403
* Tweaks to short log printing
5404
5405
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
5406
(Aaron Bentley)
5407
5408
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
5409
occurs. (Martin Pool)
5410
5411
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
5412
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
5413
5414
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
5415
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5416
5417
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5418
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5419
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5420
5421
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5422
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5423
5424
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5425
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5426
requests.
5427
5428
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5429
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5430
5431
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5432
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5433
5434
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5435
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5436
5437
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5438
(Denys Duchier)
5439
5440
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5441
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5442
5443
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5444
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5445
5446
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5447
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5448
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
5449
5450
BUG FIXES:
5451
5452
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
5453
5454
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5455
5456
* Error when run with -OO
5457
5458
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
5459
(Martin Pool)
5460
5461
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5462
5463
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5464
5465
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5466
ignored by diff and status
5467
5468
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5469
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5470
5471
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5472
5473
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5474
5475
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5476
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5477
5478
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5479
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5480
5481
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5482
(Harald Meland)
5483
5484
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5485
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5486
5487
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5488
5489
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5490
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5491
5492
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5493
(Martin Pool)
5494
5495
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5496
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5497
5498
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)

* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5503
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5504
5505
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5506
5507
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5508
5509
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5510
5511
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5512
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5513
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5514
5515
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5516
5517
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5518
(John Arbash Meinel)
5519
5520
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5521
5522
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5523
If adding a new test script please add that to
5524
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5525
5526
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5527
imported. (Martin Pool)
5528
5529
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5530
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5531
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5532
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5533
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5534
(Robert Collins)
5535
5536
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5537
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5538
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5539
5540
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5541
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5542
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5543
5544
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5545
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5546
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5547
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5548
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5549
(Robert Collins).
5550
5551
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5552
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5553
(Robert Collins).
5554
5555
INTERNALS:
5556
5557
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5558
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5559
5560
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5561
function. (Robert Collins)
5562
5563
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5564
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5565
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5566
5567
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5568
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5569
(Robert Collins)
5570
5571
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5572
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5573
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5574
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5575
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5576
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5577
version. (Robert Collins)
5578
5579
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5580
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5581
5582
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5583
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5584
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5585
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5586
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5587
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5588
5589
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5590
(Robert Collins)
5591
5592
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5593
5594
add()
5595
commit()
5596
move()
5597
rename_one()
5598
unknowns()
5599
5600
(Robert Collins)
5601
5602
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5603
5604
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5605
5606
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5607
Pool)
5608
5609
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5610
query method. (Robert Collins)
5611
5612
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5613
(Denys Duchier)
5614
5615
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5616
(Michael Ellerman)
5617
5618
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5619
(Michael Ellerman)
5620
5621
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5622
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5623
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5624
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5625
5626
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5627
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5628
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5629
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5630
5631
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5632
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
5633

5635
------------------
5636
5637
IMPROVEMENTS:
5638
5639
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
5640
(John A Meinel)
5641
5642
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
5643
conflicts.
5644
(Aaron Bentley)
5645
5646
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
5647
a separator, not ':'.
5648
(Aaron Bentley)
5649
5650
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
5651
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
5652
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
5653
5654
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
5655
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
5656
(Robert Collins)
5657
5658
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
5659
has been added that suppresses all output.
5660
5661
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
5662
Adams.
5663
5664
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
5665
Goffredo Baroncelli.
5666
5667
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
5668
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
5669
5670
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
5671
a revision. (Robert Collins)
5672
5673
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
5674
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
5675
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
5676
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
5677
5678
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
5679
5680
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
5681
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
5682
5683
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
5684
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
5685
5686
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
5687
output directory, if one was supplied.
5688
5689
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
5690
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
5691
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
5692
parameters. (Robert Collins)
5693
5694
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
5695
5696
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
5697
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
5698
5699
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
5700
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
5701
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
5702
5703
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
5704
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
5705
5706
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
5707
(Aaron Bentley)
5708
5709
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
5710
5711
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
5712
5713
TESTING:
5714
5715
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
5716
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
5717
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
5718
5719
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
5720
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
5721
related questions. (Robert Collins)
5722
5723
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
5724
is given. (Martin Pool)
5725
5726
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
5727
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
5728
file. (Robert Collins)
5729
5730
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
5731
(Martin Pool)
5732
5733
INTERNALS:
5734
5735
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
5736
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
5737
representation. (Martin Pool).
5738
5739
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
5740
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
5741
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
5742
5743
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5744
(Robert Collins)
5745
5746
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
5747
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
5748
Magnus Therning.
5749
5750
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5751
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
5752
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5753
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5754
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5755
5756
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5757
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5758
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5759
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5760
python path. (Robert Collins)
5761
5762
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5763
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5764
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5765
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5766
5767
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5768
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5769
5770
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5771
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5772
(Robert Collins)
5773
5774
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5775
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5776
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5777
5778
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5779
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5780
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5781
5782
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5783
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5784
5785
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5786
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5787
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5788
(Robert Collins)
5789
5790
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5791
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5792
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5793
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5794
(Robert Collins)
5795
5796
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5797
(Robert Collins)
5798
5799
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5800
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5801
(Robert Collins)
5802
5803
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
5804
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
5805
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
5806
5807
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
5808
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
5809
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
5810
5811
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
5812
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
5813
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
5814
5815
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5816
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5817
5818
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
5819
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
5820
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
5821
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
5822
caller. (Robert Collins)
5823
5824
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
5825
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
5826
(Robert Collins).
5827
5828
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
5829
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
5830
(Aaron Bentley)
5831
5832
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
5833
5834
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
5835
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
5836
5837
BUG FIXES:
5838
5839
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
5840
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
5841
5842
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
5843
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
5844

5846
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
5847
--------------------
5848
5849
BUG FIXES:
5850
5851
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
5852
allow directories to be listed.
5853
5854
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
5855
upgrading branch format.
5856
5857
PERFORMANCE:
5858
5859
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

5862
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
5863
------------------
5864
5865
NOTES:
5866
5867
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
5868
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
5869
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
5870
high-latency connections.
5871
5872
BUG FIXES:
5873
5874
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
5875
Rob Weir.
5876
5877
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
5878
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
5879
5880
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
5881
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
5882
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
5883
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5884
5885
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5886
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5887
5888
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5889
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5890
5891
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
5892
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
5893
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5894
5895
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
5896
for files with only a change to their executable status.
5897
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
5898
Robert Collins
5899
5900
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5901
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5902
5903
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5904
different partial views of history.
5905
5906
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5907
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5908
5909
IMPROVEMENTS:
5910
5911
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5912
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5913
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5914
5915
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5916
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5917
'bzr upgrade'.
5918
5919
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5920
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5921
5922
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5923
Niemeyer.
5924
5925
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5926
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5927
5928
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5929
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5930
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5931
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5932
5933
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5934
5935
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5936
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5937
Gustavo Niemeyer.
5938
5939
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5940
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5941
5942
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5943
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5944
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5945
5946
5947
INTERNALS:
5948
5949
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5950
for your viewing pleasure.
5951
5952
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5953
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5954
5955
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5956
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5957
handling of such circumstances.
5958
5959
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
5960
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
5961
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
5962
5963
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5964
5965
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5966
we call them revisions not patches.
5967
5968
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5969
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5970
5971
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
5972
giving the revision *of that file*.
5973
5974
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
5975
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
5976
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
5977
5978
TESTING:
5979
5980
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
5981
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
5982
5983
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
5984
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
5985

bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
5988
--------------------
5989
5990
BUG FIXES:
5991
5992
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
5993
5994
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
5995
(Robert Collins).
5996
5997
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
5998
5999
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
6000
6001
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
6002
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6003
6004
IMPROVEMENTS:
6005
6006
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
6007
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
6008
6009
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
6010
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
6011
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
6012
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
6013
Robey Pointer
6014
6015
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
6016
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
6017
6018
INTERNALS:
6019
6020
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
6021
6022
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
6023
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
6024
6025
6026
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
6027
--------------------
6028
6029
IMPROVEMENTS:
6030
6031
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
6032
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
6033
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
6034
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
6035
Michael Ellerman.
6036
6037
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
6038
(Nir Soffer)
6039
6040
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
6041
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
6042
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
6043
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
6044
for the operating system is still tried.
6045
6046
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
6047
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
6048
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
6049
6050
6051
INTERNALS:
6052
6053
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
6054
6055
BUG FIXES:
6056
6057
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
6058
6059
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
6060
branch.
6061
6062
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
6063
read.
6064
6065
6066
PORTABILITY:
6067
6068
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
6069
6070
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
6071
6072
6073
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
6074
--------------------
6075
6076
NEW FEATURES:
6077
6078
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
6079
help with intelligent shell completion.
6080
6081
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
6082
6083
6084
ENHANCEMENTS:
6085
6086
* Much better merge support.
6087
6088
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
6089
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
6090
like emacs smerge.
6091
6092
6093
BUG FIXES:
6094
6095
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
6096
mention revisions that are not present.
6097
6098
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
6099
6100
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
6101
6102
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
6103
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
6104
6105
6106
CHANGES:
6107
6108
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
6109
6110
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
6111
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
6112
--help themselves.
6113
6114
6115
LIBRARY:
6116
6117
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
6118
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
6119
libraries.
6120
6121
6122
6123
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
6124
--------------------
6125
6126
NEW FEATURES:
6127
6128
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
6129
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
6130
6131
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
6132
6133
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
6134
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
6135
6136
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
6137
FOO.
6138
6139
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
6140
6141
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
6142
the Unix command.
6143
6144
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
6145
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
6146
6147
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
6148
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
6149
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
6150
6151
6152
ENHANCEMENTS:
6153
6154
* Faster working tree operations.
6155
6156
6157
CHANGES:
6158
6159
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
6160
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
6161
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
6162
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
6163
6164
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
6165
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
6166
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
6167
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
6168
standard plugins directory.
6169
6170
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
6171
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
6172
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
6173
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
6174
6175
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
6176
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
6177
6178
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
6179
disk.
6180
6181
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
6182
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
6183
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
6184
6185
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
6186
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
6187
6188
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
6189
line options must come before the command name because they
6190
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
6191
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
6192
it.
6193
6194
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
6195
6196
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
6197
is available with ``--short``.
6198
6199
6200
BUG FIXES:
6201
6202
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
6203
6204
6205
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
6206
---------------------
6207
6208
CHANGES:
6209
6210
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
6211
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6212
6213
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
6214
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
6215
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
6216
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
6217
6218
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
6219
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
6220
with the ``--forward`` option.
6221
6222
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
6223
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
6224
field.
6225
6226
6227
ENHANCEMENTS:
6228
6229
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6230
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
6231
6232
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
6233
6234
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
6235
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
6236
6237
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
6238
6239
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
6240
either read or write mode.
6241
6242
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
6243
6244
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
6245
affected that file.
6246
6247
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
6248
6249
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
6250
suggested by LarstiQ.
6251
6252
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
6253
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
6254
6255
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
6256
a filename.
6257
6258
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
6259
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
6260
6261
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
6262
haven't changed since the previous time.
6263
6264
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
6265
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
6266
6267
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
6268
6269
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
6270
6271
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
6272
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
6273
6274
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
6275
options through to an external GNU diff.
6276
6277
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
6278
their contents.
6279
6280
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
6281
from a branch.
6282
6283
6284
BUG FIXES:
6285
6286
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
6287
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
6288
6289
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
6290
metacharacters.
6291
6292
6293
TESTING:
6294
6295
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
6296
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
6297
the tests.
6298
6299
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
6300
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
6301
6302
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
6303
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
6304
6305
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
6306
under a different version.
6307
6308
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
6309
6310
6311
INTERNAL:
6312
6313
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
6314
6315
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
6316
Scott James Remnant.
6317
6318
* Better help messages for many commands.
6319
6320
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
6321
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
6322
6323
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
6324
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
6325
6326
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
6327
6328
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
6329
6330
* New AtomicFile class.
6331
6332
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
6333
6334
6335
PORTABILITY:
6336
6337
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
6338
2.4 is now only recommended.
6339
6340
6341
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
6342
---------------------
6343
6344
ENHANCEMENTS:
6345
6346
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
6347
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
6348
6349
* More default ignore patterns.
6350
6351
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
6352
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
6353
6354
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
6355
6356
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
6357
by Jason Diamon.
6358
6359
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
6360
6361
6362
CHANGES:
6363
6364
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
6365
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
6366
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
6367
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
6368
there are DNS problems.
6369
6370
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
6371
6372
6373
BUG FIXES:
6374
6375
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
6376
6377
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
6378
6379
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
6380
trailing newlines properly.
6381
6382
6383
INTERNAL:
6384
6385
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
6386
Matt Brubeck.
6387
6388
* More tests in test.sh.
6389
6390
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
6391
directory and delete it when done.
6392
6393
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
6394
6395
6396
PORTABILITY:
6397
6398
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
6399
Bennetts.
6400
6401
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
6402
from QuantumG.
6403
6404
6405
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
6406
---------------------
6407
6408
ENHANCEMENTS:
6409
6410
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
6411
in the tree.
6412
6413
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
6414
6415
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
6416
and/or directory.
6417
6418
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
6419
directory.
6420
6421
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
6422
6423
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
6424
6425
CHANGES:
6426
6427
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
6428
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
6429
will do for now.)
6430
6431
PORTABILITY:
6432
6433
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
6434
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
6435
Nielsen.
6436
6437
INTERNAL:
6438
6439
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
6440
6441
TESTING:
6442
6443
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.

bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" 2005-03-31
6455
-----------------------------------
6456
6457
ENHANCEMENTS:
6458
6459
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
6460
6461
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
6462
rather than replacing it.
6463
6464
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
6465
6466
* More help topics.
6467
6468
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
6469
branch.
6470
6471
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
6472
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
6473
6474
* Performance improvements.
6475
6476
* New global --profile option.
6477
6478
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
6479
the root directory only.
6480
6481
6482
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
6483
---------------------
6484
6485
ENHANCEMENTS:
6486
6487
* More information from info command.
6488
6489
* Can now say "bzr help COMMAND" for more detailed help.
6490
6491
* Less file flushing and faster performance when writing logs and
6492
committing to stores.
6493
6494
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
6495
6496
BUG FIXES:
6497
6498
* Fix inverted display of 'R' and 'M' during 'commit -v'.
6499
6500
PORTABILITY:
6501
6502
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
6503
installation easier.
6504
6505
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
6506
supported).

6509
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
6510
------------------------
6511
