- Revision ID: jw+debian@jameswestby.net-20080712005242-evds1umvhyshu7er
Handle something that isn't a branch being specified in target_branch.
It's possible to create a merge directive where the target_branch isn't
a branch by the time that it gets to be merged, either because it uses
a local path not on the system where it is being merged, or the branch
has been deleted.
If this is the case and the target_branch needs to be consulted to
retrieve missing revisions then a NotBranchError was raised, which
was quite confusing. This provides a more precise error in that case.

IN DEVELOPMENT
9
--------------
10
11
FEATURES:
12
13
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
14
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
15
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
16
17
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
18
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
19
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
20
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
21
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
22
(Ian Clatworthy)
23
24
IMPROVEMENTS:
25
26
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
27
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
28
(Martin Pool)
29
30
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
31
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
32
(Christophe Troestler)
33
34
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
35
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
36
37
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
38
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
39
faster. The new request method name is
40
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
41
42
BUGFIXES:
43
44
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
45
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
46
47
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
48
requires a branch to be present.
49
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
50
51
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
52
loaded.
53
(Martin Pool, #205230)
54
55
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
56
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
57
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
58
(Martin Pool, #240161)
59
60
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
61
name contains an @.
62
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
63
64
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
65
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
66
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
67
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
68
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
69
70
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
71
(Martin Pool, #172870)
72
73
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
74
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
75
76
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
77
Cygwin Bazaar.
78
(Matt McClure, #209281)
79
80
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
81
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
82
83
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
84
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
85
86
DOCUMENTATION:
87
88
* Updated developer documentation.
89
(Martin Pool)
90
91
TESTING:
92
93
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
94
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
95
96
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
97
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
98
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
99
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
100
101
API CHANGES:
102
103
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
104
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
105
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
106
Repository docstring for more details.
107
(Robert Collins)
108
109
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
110
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
111
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
112
113
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
114
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
115
(Daniel Watkins)
116
117
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
118
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
119
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
120
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
121
122
INTERNALS:
123
124
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
125
(Alexander Belchenko)
126
127
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
128
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
129
containing a given location.
130
(Daniel Watkins)
131
132
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
133
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
134
storage. (Robert Collins)
135
136
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
137
(Robert Collins)
138
139
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
140
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
141
(Robert Collins)
142
143
144
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
145
-----------------------
146
147
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
148
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
149
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
150
now faster.
151
152
BUG FIXES:
153
154
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
155
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
156
reading from the repository.)
157
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
158
159
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
160
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
161
162
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
163
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
164
(Andrew Bennetts)
165
166
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
167
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
168
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
169
170
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
171
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
172
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
173
174
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
175
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
176
177
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
178
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
179
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
180
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
181
182
IMPROVEMENTS:
183
184
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
185
186
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
187
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
188
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
189
(Adrian Wilkins)
190
191
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
192
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
193
194
DOCUMENTATION:
195
196
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
197
198
TESTING:
199
200
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
201
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
202
203
API CHANGES:
204
205
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
206
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
207
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
208
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
209
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
210
211
INTERNALS:
212
213
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
214
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
215
216
217
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
218
-----------------------
219
220
221
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
222
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
223
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
224
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
225
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
226
and future extensions.
227
228
229
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
230
231
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
232
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
233
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
234
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
235
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
236
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
237
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
238
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
239
240
CHANGES:
241
242
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
243
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
244
(John Arbash Meinel)
245
246
FEATURES:
247
248
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
249
load. (James Westby)
250
251
IMPROVEMENTS:
252
253
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
254
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
255
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
256
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
257
258
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
259
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
260
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
261
262
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
263
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
264
265
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
266
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
267
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
268
269
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
270
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
271
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
272
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
273
step closer to not using full revision history.
274
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
275
276
BUGFIXES:
277
278
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
279
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
280
281
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
282
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
283
284
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
285
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
286
287
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
288
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
289
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
290
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
291
292
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
293
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
294
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
295
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
296
297
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
298
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
299
in use by another process.
300
(Martin Pool)
301
302
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
303
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
304
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
305
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
306
307
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
308
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
309
310
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
311
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
312
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
313
314
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
315
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
316
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
317
318
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
319
them.
320
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
321
322
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
323
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
324
325
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
326
under vim on Mac OS X.
327
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
328
329
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
330
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
331
332
DOCUMENTATION:
333
334
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
335
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
336
337
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
338
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
339
(Ian Clatworthy)
340
341
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
342
and about use of Python reprs.
343
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
344
345
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
346
347
TESTING:
348
349
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
350
(Robert Collins)
351
352
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
353
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
354
355
* New helper function for splitting test suites
356
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
357
358
INTERNALS:
359
360
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
361
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
362
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
363
(John Arbash Meinel)
364
365
API CHANGES:
366
367
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
368
instead. (Martin Pool)
369
370
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
371
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
372
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
373
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
374
375
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
376
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
377
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
378
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
379
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
380
381
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
382
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
383
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
384
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
385
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
386
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
387
388
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
389
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
390
(Martin Pool)
391
392
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
393
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
394
(Robert Collins)
395
396
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
397
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
398
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
399
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
400
401
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
402
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
403
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
404
405
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
406
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
407
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
408
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
409
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
410
(Martin Pool)
411
412
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
413
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
414
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
415
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
416
(Robert Collins)
417
418
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
419
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
420
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
421
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
422
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
423
424
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
425

429
------------------
430
431
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
432
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
433
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
434
435
CHANGES:
436
437
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
438
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
439
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
440
441
DOCUMENTATION:
442
443
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
444
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

451
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
452
453
CHANGES:
454
455
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
456
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
457
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
458
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
459
460
FEATURES:
461
462
IMPROVEMENTS:
463
464
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
465
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
466
467
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
468
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
469
470
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
471
(Aaron Bentley)
472
473
BUGFIXES:
474
475
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
476
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
477
478
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
479
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
480
481
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
482
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
483
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
484
485
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
486
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
487
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
488
489
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
490
(Andreas Deininger)
491
492
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
493
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
494
495
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
496
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
497
498
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
499
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
500
501
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
502
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
503
504
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
505
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
506
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
507
508
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
509
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
510
511
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
512
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
513
514
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
515
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
516
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
517
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
518
519
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
520
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
521
(Martin Pool)
522
523
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
524
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
525
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
526
527
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
528
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
529
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
530
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
531
every revision each side had in common.
532
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
533
534
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
535
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
536
537
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
538
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
539
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
540
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
541
542
DOCUMENTATION:
543
544
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
545
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
546
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
547
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
548
549
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
550
551
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
552
553
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
554
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
555
556
TESTING:
557
558
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
559
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
560
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
561
562
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
563
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
564
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
565
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
566
567
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
568
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
569
570
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
571
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
572
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
573
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
574
575
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
576
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
577
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
578
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
579
580
INTERNALS:
581
582
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
583
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
584
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
585
586
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
587
588
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
589
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
590
591
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
592
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
593
594
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
595
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
596
597
API CHANGES:
598
599
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
600
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
601
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
602
603
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
604
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
605
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
606
(Aaron Bentley)
607
608
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
609
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
610
(Martin Pool)
611
612
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

bzr 1.4 2008-04-28
617
------------------
618
619
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
620
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
621
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
622
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
623
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
624
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
625
and faster performance.
626
627
BUG FIXES:
628
629
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
630
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
631
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
636
---------------------
637
638
BUG FIXES:
639
640
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
641
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
642
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
643
644
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
645
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
646
647
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
648
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
649
650
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
651
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
652
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
653
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
654
every revision each side had in common.

658
bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
659
---------------------
660
661
CHANGES:
662
663
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
664
665
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
666
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
667
668
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
669
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
670
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
671
672
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
673
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
674
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
675
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
676
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
677
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
678
Andrew Cowie)
679
680
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
681
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
682
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
683
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
684
685
FEATURES:
686
687
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
688
689
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
690
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
691
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
692
693
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
694
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
695
See the User Reference for signature details.
696
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
697
698
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
699
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
700
701
IMPROVEMENTS:
702
703
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
704
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
705
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
706
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
707
708
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
709
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
710
711
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
712
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
713
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
714
Wouter van Heyst)
715
716
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
717
(Chad Miller)
718
719
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
720
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
721
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
722
723
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
724
(Aaron Bentley)
725
726
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
727
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
728
729
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
730
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
731
732
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
733
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
734
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
735
736
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
737
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
738
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
739
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
740
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
741
742
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
743
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
744
745
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
746
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
747
748
BUGFIXES:
749
750
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
751
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
752
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
753
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
754
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
755
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
756
757
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
758
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
759
760
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
761
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
762
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
763
764
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
765
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
766
767
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
768
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
769
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
770
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
771
772
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
773
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
774
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
775
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
776
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
777
778
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
779
780
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
781
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
782
783
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
784
785
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
786
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
787
788
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
789
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
790
791
DOCUMENTATION:
792
793
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
794
795
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
796
797
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
798
799
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
800
801
API BREAKS:
802
803
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
804
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
805
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
806
807
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
808
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
809
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
810
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
811
812
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
813
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
814
release. (James Westby)
815
816
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
817
(Andrew Bennetts)
818
819
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
820
821
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
822
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
823
824
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
825
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
826
827
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
828
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
829
830
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
831
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
832
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
833
834
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
835
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
836
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
837
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
838
839
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
840
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
841
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
842
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
843
844
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
845
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
846
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
847
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
848
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
849
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
850
851
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
852
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
853
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
854
855
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
856
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
857
858
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
859
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
860
(Robert Collins)
861
862
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
863
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
864
865
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
866
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
867
868
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
869
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
870
871
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
872
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
873
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
874
875
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
876
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
877
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
878
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
879
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
880
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
881
882
TESTING:
883
884
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
885
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
886
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
887
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
888
889
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
890
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
891
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
892
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
893
implement this).
894
(Vincent Ladeuil)
895
896
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
897
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
898
(Vincent Ladeuil)
899
900
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
901
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
902
903
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
904
905
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
906
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
907
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
908
909
INTERNALS:
910
911
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
912
913
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
914
(Martin Albisetti)
915
916
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
917
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
918
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
919
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
920
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
921
(Martin Pool, #109520)
922
923
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
924
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
925
926
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
927
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
928
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
929
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
930
931
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
932
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
933
934
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
935
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.3rc1 2008-04-04
945
---------------------
946
947
BUG FIXES:
948
949
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
950
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
951
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).

955
bzr 1.3 2008-03-20
956
------------------
957
958
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
959
960
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
961
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
962
features have been added.
963
964
TESTING:
965
966
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
967
directory names.
968
(#202778, Martin Pool)

972
---------------------
973
974
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
975
976
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
977
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
978
979
CHANGES:
980
981
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
982
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
983
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
984
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
985
(Robert Collins)
986
987
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
988
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
989
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
990
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
991
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
992
(Alexander Belchenko)
993
994
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
995
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
996
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
997
(Alexander Belchenko)
998
999
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1000
1001
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1002
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1003
1004
FEATURES:
1005
1006
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1007
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1008
1009
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1010
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1011
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1012
1013
IMPROVEMENTS:
1014
1015
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1016
1017
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1018
1019
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1020
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1021
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1022
1023
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1024
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1025
1026
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1027
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1028
1029
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1030
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1031
(Alexander Belchenko)
1032
1033
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1034
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1035
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1036
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1037
1038
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1039
(Daniel Watkins)
1040
1041
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1042
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1043
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1044
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1045
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1046
1047
BUGFIXES:
1048
1049
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1050
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1051
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1052
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1053
1054
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1055
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1056
1057
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1058
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1059
1060
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1061
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1062
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
1063
1064
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1065
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1066
1067
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1068
#196618)
1069
1070
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1071
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1072
1073
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1074
1075
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1076
1077
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1078
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1079
1080
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1081
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1082
1083
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1084
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1085
1086
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1087
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1088
1089
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1090
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1091
1092
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1093
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1094
1095
DOCUMENTATION:
1096
1097
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
1098
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1099
1100
API BREAKS:
1101
1102
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1103
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1104
(Alexander Belchenko)
1105
1106
TESTING:
1107
1108
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1109
1110
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1111
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1112
(Robert Collins)
1113
1114
INTERNALS:
1115
1116
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1117
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1118
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1119
1120
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1121
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1122
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1123
(Alexander Belchenko)
1124
1125
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1126
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1127
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1128
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1129
1130
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1131
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1132
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1133
(Robert Collins)
1134
1135
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1136
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1137
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1138
1139
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1140
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1141
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1142
1143
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1144
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1145
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1146
format. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.2 2008-02-15
1150
------------------
1151

BUG FIXES:
1153
1154
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)

1157
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
1158
---------------------
1159
1160
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1161
1162
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1163
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1164
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1165
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1166
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1167
(Andrew Bennetts)
1168
1169
CHANGES:
1170
1171
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1172
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1173
1174
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1175
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1176
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1177
1178
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1179
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1180
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1181
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1182
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1183
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1184
(Aaron Bentley)
1185
1186
FEATURES:
1187
1188
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1189
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1190
1191
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1192
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1193
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1194
(Robert Collins)
1195
1196
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1197
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1198
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1199
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1200
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1201
1202
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1203
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1204
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1205
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1206
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1207
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1208
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1209
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1210
1211
IMPROVEMENTS:
1212
1213
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1214
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1215
1216
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1217
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1218
1219
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1220
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1221
1222
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1223
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1224
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1225
1226
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1227
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1228
(John Arbash Meinel)
1229
1230
BUGFIXES:
1231
1232
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1233
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1234
1235
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1236
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1237
1238
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1239
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1240
1241
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1242
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1243
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1244
1245
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1246
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1247
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1248
1249
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1250
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1251
1252
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1253
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1254
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1255
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1256
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1257
unittest runner.
1258
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1259
1260
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1261
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1262
#185907)
1263
1264
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1265
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1266
1267
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1268
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1269
1270
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1271
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1272
1273
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1274
more characters which should be considered valid.
1275
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1276
1277
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1278
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1279
1280
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1281
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1282
1283
API BREAKS:
1284
1285
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1286
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1287
1288
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1289
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1290
(Martin Pool)
1291
1292
TESTING:
1293
1294
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1295
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1296
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1297
1298
INTERNALS:
1299
1300
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1301
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1302
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1303
1304
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1305
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1306
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1307
1308
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1309
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1310
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1311
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1312
1313
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1314
1315
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1316
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1317
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1318
server. (Robert Collins)
1319
1320
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1321
operate. (Robert Collins)
1322
1323
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1324
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1325
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1326
1327
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1328
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1329
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1330
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1331
1332
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1333
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1334
1335
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1336
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1337
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1338
1339
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1340
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1341
1342
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1343
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1344
1345
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1346
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1347
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1348
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

1355
1356
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
1357
---------------------
1358
1359
CHANGES:
1360
1361
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1362
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1363
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1364
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1365
1366
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1367
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1368
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1369
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1370
1371
FEATURES:
1372
1373
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1374
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1375
1376
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1377
(Aaron Bentley)
1378
1379
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1380
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1381
1382
IMPROVEMENTS:
1383
1384
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1385
#90049)
1386
1387
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1388
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1389
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1390
1391
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1392
1393
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1394
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1395
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1396
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1397
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1398
1399
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1400
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1401
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1402
1403
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1404
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1405
1406
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1407
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1408
1409
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1410
1411
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1412
1413
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1414
(Aaron Bentley)
1415
1416
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1417
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1418
1419
BUGFIXES:
1420
1421
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1422
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1423
1424
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1425
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1426
1427
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1428
(Aaron Bentley)
1429
1430
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1431
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1432
1433
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1434
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1435
1436
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1437
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1438
1439
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1440
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1441
1442
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1443
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1444
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1445
1446
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1447
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1448
1449
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1450
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1451
(Aaron Bentley)
1452
1453
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1454
1455
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1456
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1457
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1458
1459
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1460
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1461
1462
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1463
(Aaron Bentley)
1464
1465
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1466
#148087)
1467
1468
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1469
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1470
1471
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1472
#137681)
1473
1474
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1475
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1476
(Aaron Bentley)
1477
1478
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1479
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
1480
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
1481

DOCUMENTATION:
1483
1484
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1485
(Ian Clatworthy)
1486
1487
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1488
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1489
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1490
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1491
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1492
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1493
1494
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1495
1496
INTERNALS:
1497
1498
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.

1501
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
1502
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1503
1504
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1505
1506
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1507
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1508
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1509
Robert Collins)
1510
1511
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1512
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1513
1514
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
1515
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1516
1517
API BREAKS:
1518
1519
TESTING:
1520
1521
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
1522
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1523
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
1524
1525
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1526
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1527
(Robert Collins)
1528
1529
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1530
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1531
1532
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
1533
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1534
1535
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1536
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1537
1538
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
1539
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
1540
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1541
1542
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1543
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1544
1545
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
1546
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1547
1548
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
1549
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
1550
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1551
1552
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
1553
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
1554
1555
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
1556
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

CHANGES:
1580
1581
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
1582
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
1583
by mail to the mailing list.
1584
(Martin Pool)
1585
1586
BUGFIXES:
1587
1588
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
1589
1590
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
1591
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
1592
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
1593
feedback but also incur more latency.
1594
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
1595
1596
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
1597
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)

(Ian Clatworthy)
1605
1606
INTERNALS:
1607
1608
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
1609
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still

1615
---------------------

1617
IMPROVEMENTS:
1618
1619
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1620
1621
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
1622
(Aaron Bentley)
1623
1624
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
1625
Nordhoff, #172612)
1626
1627
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1628
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1629
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
1630
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1631
1632
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
1633
(Kent Gibson)
1634
1635
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1636
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1637
1638
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1639
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1640
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1641
1642
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1643
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1644
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1645
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1646
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1647
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1648
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1649
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1650
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
1651
1652
INTERNALS:
1653
1654
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
1655
(Vincent Ladeuil)

1658
1659
BUGFIXES:
1660
1661
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
1662
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
1663
1664
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
1665
filename to user.
1666
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1667
1668
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1669
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1670
required.
1671
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
1672
1673
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1674
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
1675
1676
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
1677
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
1678
1679
API BREAKS:

bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
1686
---------------------
1687
1688
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1689
1690
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1691
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1692
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1693
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1694
1695
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1696
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1697
1698
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1699
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1700
1701
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1702
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1703
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1704
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1705
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1706
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1707
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1708
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1709
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1710
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1711
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1712
from any tree without problems.
1713
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
1714
1715
CHANGES:
1716
1717
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1718
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1719
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1720
1721
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
1722
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
1723
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
1724
(Martin Pool)
1725
1726
FEATURES:
1727
1728
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
1729
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
1730
supported transports.
1731
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1732
1733
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
1734
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
1735
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
1736
1737
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1738
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1739
1740
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
1741
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
1742
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
1743
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
1744
1745
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
1746
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
1747
1748
PERFORMANCE:
1749
1750
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
1751
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
1752
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
1753
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1754
1755
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
1756
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
1757
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
1758
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
1759
1760
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
1761
(Robert Collins, #88319)
1762
1763
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
1764
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
1765
1766
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1767
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1768
1769
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1770
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1771
(Aaron Bentley)
1772
1773
IMPROVEMENTS:
1774
1775
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1776
(Aaron Bentley)
1777
1778
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1779
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1780
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1781
1782
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1783
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1784
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1785
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1786
1787
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1788
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1789
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1790
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
1800
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
1801
1802
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
1803
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
1804
1805
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
1806
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
1807
1808
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
1809
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
1810
1811
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.

* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
1815
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)

* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
1818
(Aaron Bentley)
1819
1820
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
1821
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
1822
1823
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
1824
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
1825
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
1826
1827

1830
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
1831
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
1832
1833
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
1834
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
1835
1836
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
1837
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
1838
1839
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
1840
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
1841
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
1842
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
1843
on them.
1844
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1845
1846
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
1847
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1848
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
1849
1850
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
1851
(Robert Collins, #161240)
1852
1853
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
1854
to be reconciled.
1855
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1856
1857
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1858
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1859
1860
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1861
specify a port in urls.
1862
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1863
1864
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
1865
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
1866
1867
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
1868
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
1869
1870
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
1871
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
1872
1873
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
1874
(Robert Collins, #153789)
1875
1876
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
1877
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
1878
(Robert Collins, #165304).
1879
1880
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
1881
1882
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
1883
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
1884
1885
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
1886
Watkins, #152811)
1887
1888
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
1889
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
1890
1891
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
1892
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
1893
1894
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
1895
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
1896
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
1897
1898
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
1899
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
1900
1901
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
1902
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
1903
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
1904
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
1905
1906
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
1907
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
1908
1909
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
1910
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
1911
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
1912
1913
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
1914
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
1915
1916
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
1917
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
1918
1919
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
1920
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
1921
1922
API BREAKS:
1923
1924
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
1925
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
1926
1927
* The return value of
1928
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
1929
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
1930
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
1931
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
1932
1933
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
1934
(Robert Collins)
1935
1936
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
1937
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
1938
format.
1939
(Martin Pool)
1940
1941
INTERNALS:
1942
1943
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
1944
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
1945
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
1946
Bennetts)
1947
1948
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
1949
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
1950
1951
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1968
1969
CHANGES:
1970
1971
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
1972
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
1973
1974
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
1975
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
1976
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
1977
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
1978
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
1979
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
1980
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
1981
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
1982
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
1983
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
1984
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
1985
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
1986
(Robert Collins)
1987
1988
FEATURES:
1989
1990
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
1991
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
1992
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
1993
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
1994
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
1995
for further details. (Robert Collins)
1996
1997
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
1998
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
1999
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2000
(Robert Collins)
2001
2002
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2003
2004
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2005
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2006
2007
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2008
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2009
(Aaron Bentley)
2010
2011
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2012
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2013
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
2014
2015
PERFORMANCE:
2016
2017
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
2018
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2019
2020
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
2021
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
2022
2023
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
2024
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
2025
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
2026
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
2027
2028
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
2029
(Robert Collins)
2030
2031
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
2032
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
2033
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
2034
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
2035
2036
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
2037
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
2038
2039
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2040
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2041
2042
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2043
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2044
2045
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2046
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2047
2048
IMPROVEMENTS:
2049
2050
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2051
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2052
2053
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2054
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2055
2056
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2057
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2058
2059
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2060
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2061
2062
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2063
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2064
2065
DOCUMENTATION:
2066
2067
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2068
2069
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2070
(Ian Clatworthy)
2071
2072
BUG FIXES:
2073
2074
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2075
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2076
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2077
2078
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2079
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2080
2081
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2082
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2083
2084
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2085
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2086
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2087
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2088
2089
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2090
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2091
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2092
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2093
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2094
2095
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2096
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2097
paramiko.
2098
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2099
2100
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2101
2102
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2103
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2104
2105
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2106
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2107
2108
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2109
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2110
2111
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2112
contains a symbolic link.
2113
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2114
2115
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2116
(James Westby, #140615)
2117
2118
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2119
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2120
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2121
2122
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2123
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2124
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2125
2126
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2127
2128
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2129
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2130
2131
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2132
will remain opened.
2133
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2134
2135
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2136
directory to detect leaking tests.
2137
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2138
2139
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2140
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2141
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2142
2143
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2144
(Rob Weir, #141629)
2145
2146
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2147
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2148
2149
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2150
Merwe)
2151
2152
API BREAKS:
2153
2154
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2155
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2156
2157
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2158
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2159
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2160
2161
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2162
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2163
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2164
2165
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2166
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2167
2168
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2169
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2170
2171
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2172
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2173
(Martin Pool)
2174
2175
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2176
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2177
2178
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2179
class that needs it.
2180
(Martin Pool)
2181
2182
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2183
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2184
2185
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2186
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2187
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2188
2189
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2190
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2191
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2192
(Robert Collins)
2193
2194
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2195
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2196
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2197
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2198
(Robert Collins)
2199
2200
INTERNALS:
2201
2202
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2203
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2204
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2205
2206
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2207
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2208
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2209
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2210
2211
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2212
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2213
(Robert Collins)
2214
2215
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2216
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2217
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2218
2219
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2220
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2221
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2222
2223
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2224
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2225
2226
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2227
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2228
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2229
2230
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2231
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2232
2233
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2234
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2235
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2236
2237
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2238
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2239
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2240
2241
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2242
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2243
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2244
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2245
2246
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2247
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2248
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2249
returned. (Robert Collins)
2250
2251
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2252
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2253
2254
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2255
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2256
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2257
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2258
(Robert Collins)
2259
2260
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2261
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2262
2263
TESTING:
2264
2265
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2266
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2267
2268
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2269
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2270
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2271
makes this behavior available to other users.
2272
(Martin Pool)
2273
2274
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2275
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
2276

2278
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
2279
-------------------
2280
2281
BUG FIXES:
2282
2283
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2284
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2285
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2286
2287
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2288
2289
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2290
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2291
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2292
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2293
2294
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2295
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
2296

2298
2299
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
2300
----------------------
2301
2302
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
2303
in bzrlib/remote.py.

2306
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
2307
----------------------
2308
2309
CHANGES:
2310
2311
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
2312
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
2313
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
2314
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
2315
(Martin Pool)
2316
2317
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
2318
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
2319
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
2320
(Ian Clatworthy)
2321
2322
FEATURES:
2323
2324
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
2325
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
2326
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
2327
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2328
2329
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
2330
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
2331
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
2332
2333
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2334
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2335
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2336
2337
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2338
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2339
2340
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
2341
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
2342
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
2343
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
2344
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
2345
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
2346
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
2347
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
2348
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
2349
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
2350
2351
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2352
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2353
2354
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
2355
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
2356
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2357
2358
BUG FIXES:
2359
2360
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2361
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2362
2363
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
2364
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
2365
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
2366
2367
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2368
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2369
2370
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2371
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2372
2373
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2374
(Aaron Bentley)
2375
2376
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2377
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2378
2379
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2380
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2381
2382
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2383
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2384
2385
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2386
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2387
2388
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2389
2390
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2391
Watkins, #106726)
2392
2393
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
2394
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
2395
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
2396
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
2397
2398
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2399
2400
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
2401
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
2402
#133548)
2403
2404
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2405
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2406
2407
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2408
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2409
#116143)
2410
2411
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2412
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2413
2414
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2415
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2416
2417
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
2418
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
2419
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
2420
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
2421
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
2422
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
2423
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
2424
2425
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2426
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2427
2428
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2429
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2430
2431
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2432
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2433
2434
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2435
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2436
2437
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2438
connections.
2439
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2440
2441
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2442
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
2443
2444
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
2445
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
2446
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
2447
2448
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2449
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2450
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2451
2452
IMPROVEMENTS:
2453
2454
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2455
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2456
2457
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2458
(Aaron Bentley)
2459
2460
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2461
(Aaron Bentley)
2462
2463
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2464
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2465
2466
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2467
2468
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2469
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2470
2471
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2472
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2473
2474
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
2475
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
2476
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
2477
space). (Robert Collins)
2478
2479
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2480
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2481
(Ian Clatworthy)
2482
2483
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2484
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2485
2486
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2487
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2488
2489
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
2490
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
2491
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
2492
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
2493
2494
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
2495
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
2496
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
2497
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2498
2499
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
2500
(Ian Clatworthy)
2501
2502
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
2503
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
2504
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
2505
2506
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
2507
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
2508
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
2509
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
2510
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
2511
2512
API BREAKS:
2513
2514
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
2515
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2516
2517
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
2518
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
2519
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
2520
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
2521
affected. (Robert Collins)
2522
2523
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
2524
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
2525
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
2526
(Robert Collins)
2527
2528
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2529
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2530
2531
TESTING:
2532
2533
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
2534
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
2535
2536
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
2537
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2538
2539
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2540
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2541
2542
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
2543
(Aaron Bentley)
2544
2545
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
2546
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2547
2548
INTERNALS:
2549
2550
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
2551
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
2552
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
2553
its version information. (Robert Collins)
2554
2555
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
2556
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2557
2558
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
2559
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
2560
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
2561
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2562
2563
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
2564
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
2565
present. (Robert Collins)
2566
2567
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
2568
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
2569
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
2570
API. (Robert Collins)
2571
2572
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
2573
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
2574
(Robert Collins)
2575
2576
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
2577
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
2578
2579
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
2580
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
2581
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
2582
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
2583
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
2584
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
2585
2586
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
2587
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
2588
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
2589
2590
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
2591
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
2592
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
2593
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
2594
protocol.
2595
2596
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
2597
(Aaron Bentley)
2598
2599
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
2600
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
2601
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
2602
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
2603
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
2604
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
2605
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
2606
2607
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
2608
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
2609
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
2610
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
2611
2612
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
2613
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
2614
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
2615
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
2616
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
2617
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
2618
2619
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
2620
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
2621
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
2622
2623
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
2624
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2625
2626
2627
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
2628
-------------------
2629
2630
IMPROVEMENTS:
2631
2632
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2633
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2634
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2635
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2636
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2637
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2638
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
2639
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
2640
2641
2642
API CHANGES:
2643
2644
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2645
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2646
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
2647
2648
2649
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
2650
----------------------
2651
2652
BUGFIXES:
2653
2654
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2655
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2656
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2657
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2658
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2659
2660
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2661
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2662
2663
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2664
anymore.
2665
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2666
2667
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2668
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2669
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2670
2671
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2672
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2673
#111664)
2674
2675
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2676
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2677
2678
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2679
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2680
2681
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2682
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2683
2684
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2685
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2686
2687
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2688
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2689
2690
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2691
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2692
2693
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2694
(Aaron Bentley)
2695
2696
IMPROVEMENTS:
2697
2698
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2699
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2700
2701
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2702
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2703
2704
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2705
the repository (Robert Collins)
2706
2707
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2708
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2709
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2710
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2711
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2712
2713
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2714
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2715
2716
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2717
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2718
(John Arbash Meinel)
2719
2720
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2721
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2722
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2723
about 10%).
2724
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2725
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2726
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2727
(John Arbash Meinel)
2728
2729
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2730
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2731
(Robert Collins)
2732
2733
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2734
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2735
2736
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2737
(Ian Clatworthy)
2738
2739
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2740
2741
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2742
2743
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2744
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2745
2746
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2747
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2748
Meinel)
2749
2750
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2751
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2752
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2753
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2754
2755
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2756
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
2757
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
2758
2759
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
2760
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
2761
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
2762
2763
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2764
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2765
2766
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2767
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2768
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2769
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2770
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2771
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2772

* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2775
(Alexander Belchenko)
2776
2777
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2778
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2779
2780
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2781
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2782
2783
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2784
2785
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2786
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2787
2788
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2789
2790
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2791
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2792
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2793
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2794
2795
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2796
2797
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2798
(Robert Collins)
2799
2800
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2801
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2802
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2803
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2804
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2805
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2806
2807
INTERNALS:
2808
2809
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2810
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2811
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2812
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2813
2814
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2815
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2816
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2817
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2818
tests have been refactored too.
2819
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2820
2821
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2822
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2823
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2824
list, it will.
2825
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2826
2827
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2828
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2829
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2830
2831
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2832
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2833
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2834
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2835
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2836
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2837
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2838
2839
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2840
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2841
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2842
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2843
(John Arbash Meinel)
2844
2845
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2846
functionality for testing.
2847
2848
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2849
2850
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2851
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2852
2853
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2854
2855
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2856
(Robert Collins)
2857
2858
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2859
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2860
2861
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2862
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2863
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2864
2865
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2866
(Aaron Bentley)
2867
2868
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2869
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2870
2871
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2872
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2873
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2874
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2875
2876
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2877
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2878
2879
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2880
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2881
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2882
2883
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2884
(Marius Kruger)
2885
2886
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2887
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2888
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2889
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2890
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
2891
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2892
2893
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
2894
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
2895
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
2896
many files. (Robert Collins)
2897
2898
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
2899
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
2900
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
2901
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
2902
2903
TESTING:
2904
2905
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
2906
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
2907
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
2908
2909
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
2910
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
2911
2912
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
2913
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
2914
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
2931
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
2932
2933
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
2934
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
2935
(James Westby, #122656)
2936
2937
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help

2956
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
2957
2958
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
2959
individually and as part of revision ranges.
2960
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
2961
2962
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
2963
(Martin Pool, #109169)
2964
2965
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
2966
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
2967
2968
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
2969
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
2970
2971
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2972
2973
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
2974
2975
IMPROVEMENTS:
2976
2977
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
2978
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
2979
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
2980
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
2981
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
2982
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
2983
2984
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
2985
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
2986
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
2987
2988
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
2989
(Elliot Murphy)
2990
2991
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
2992
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
2993
2994
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
2995
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
2996
2997
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
2998
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
2999
3000
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3001
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3002
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3003
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3004
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3005
3006
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3007
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3008
3009
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3010
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3011
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3012
3013
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3014
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
3015
3016
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
3017
3018
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
3019
output. (Aaron Bentley)
3020
3021
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
3022
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
3023
(Robert Collins)
3024
3025
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
3026
(Martin Pool)
3027
3028
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
3029
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
3030
3031
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
3032
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
3033
3034
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
3035
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
3036
3037
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
3038
3039
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3040
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
3041
3042
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
3043
(Andrew Bennetts)
3044
3045
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3046
3047
* Testing cleanups -
3048
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3049
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
3050
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3051
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
3052
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3053
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
3054
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3055
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
3056
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3057
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
3058
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
3059
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
3060
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3061
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
3062
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3063
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3064
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
3065
(Robert Collins)
3066
3067
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3068
3069
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3070
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3071
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3072
3073
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3074
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3075
3076
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3077
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3078
3079
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3080
3081
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3082
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3083
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3084
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3085
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3086
same location. (Robert Collins)
3087
3088
INTERNALS:
3089
3090
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3091
3092
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3093
3094
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3095
3096
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3097
(Martin Pool)
3098
3099
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3100
(Martin Pool)
3101
3102
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3103
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3104
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3105
3106
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3107
3108
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3109
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3110
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3111
3112
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3113
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3114
3115
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3116
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3117
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3118
3119
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3120
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3121
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3122
3123
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3124
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3125
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3126
3127
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3128
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3129
Martin Pool)
3130
3131
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3132
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3133
3134
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3135
(Alexander Belchenko)
3136
3137
TESTING:
3138
3139
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3140
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3141
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3142
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3143
3144
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3145
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3146
testing. (Robert Collins)
3147
3148
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3149
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3150
3151
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3152
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3153
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3154
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3155
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3156
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3157
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3158
3159
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3160
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3161
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3162
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3163
3164
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3165
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3166
3167
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3168
avoid useless cloning.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3188
3189
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3190
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3191
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3192
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3193
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3194
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3195
and unlock() like so::
3196
3197
work_tree.lock_read()
3198
try:
3199
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3200
finally:
3201
work_tree.unlock()
3202
3203
INTERNALS:
3204
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3205
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3206
object.
3207
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3208
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3209
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3210
3211
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3212
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3213
too. (Robert Collins)
3214
3215
IMPROVEMENTS:
3216
3217
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3218
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3219
Aaron Bentley)
3220
3221
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3222
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3223
3224
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3225
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3226
3227
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3228
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3229
understanding what changes have occurred
3230
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3231
3232
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3233
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3234
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3235
3236
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3237
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3238
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3239
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3240
3241
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3242
#56322)
3243
3244
BUGFIXES:
3245
3246
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3247
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3248
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3249
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3250
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3251
3252
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3253
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3254
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3255
3256
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3257
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3258
3259
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3260
into account.
3261
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3262
3263
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3264
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3265
3266
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3267
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3268
3269
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3270
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3271
3272
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3273
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3274
3275
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3276
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3277
3278
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3279
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3280
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
3283
--------------------
3284
3285
BUGFIXES:
3286
3287
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3288
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3289
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3290
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3291
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3292
3293
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3294
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3295
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3296
3297
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3298
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3299
3300
IMPROVEMENTS:
3301
3302
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3303
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3304
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3305
3306
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3307
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3308
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3309
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

3311

3312
-----------------------
3313
3314
BUGFIXES:
3315
3316
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
3317
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
3318
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
3319
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
3320
3321
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
3322
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
3323
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
3324
3325
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
3326
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
3327
3328
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
3329
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
3330
3331
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
3332
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
3333
3334
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
3335
-----------------------
3336
3337
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3338
3339
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
3340
it could be recovered again.
3341
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
3342
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
3343
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
3344
but not delete it.
3345
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
3346
files.
3347
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
3348
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
3349
3350
IMPROVEMENTS:
3351
3352
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
3353
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
3354
3355
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
3356
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
3357
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
3358
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
3359
3360
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
3361
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
3362
3363
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
3364
tests with names that match that regular expression.
3365
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
3366
3367
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
3368
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
3369
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
3370
3371
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
3372
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
3373
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
3374
3375
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
3376
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
3377
Robert Collins)
3378
3379
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
3380
Pool)
3381
3382
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
3383
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
3384
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
3385
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
3386
3387
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
3388
(Robert Collins)
3389
3390
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
3391
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
3392
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
3393
(Robert Collins)
3394
3395
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
3396
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
3397
3398
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
3399
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
3400
3401
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
3402
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
3403
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
3404
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
3405
(Robert Collins)
3406
3407
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
3408
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
3409
3410
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
3411
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3412
3413
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
3414
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
3415
(Robert Collins, #107125).
3416
3417
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
3418
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
3419
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
3420
3421
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
3422
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
3423
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3424
3425
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
3426
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
3427
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
3428
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
3429
3430
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
3431
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
3432
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
3433
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
3434
3435
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
3436
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
3437
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
3438
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
3439
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
3440
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
3441
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
3442
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
3443
header(s).
3444
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3445
3446
INTERNALS:
3447
3448
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
3449
code paths. (Robert Collins)
3450
3451
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
3452
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
3453
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
3454
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
3455
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3456
3457
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
3458
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
3459
3460
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
3461
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
3462
3463
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
3464
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
3465
3466
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
3467
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
3468
3469
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
3470
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
3471
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
3472
(Robert Collins).
3473
3474
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
3475
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
3476
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
3477
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
3478
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
3479
(Robert Collins)
3480
3481
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
3482
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
3483
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
3484
3485
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
3486
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
3487
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3488
3489
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
3490
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
3491
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
3492
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3493
3494
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
3495
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
3496
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
3497
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
3498
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
3499
3500
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
3501
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
3502
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
3503
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3504
3505
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
3506
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3507
3508
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
3509
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
3510
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
3511
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
3512
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
3513
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
3514
3515
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
3516
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
3517
3518
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
3519
help. (Robert Collins)
3520
3521
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
3522
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3523
3524
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
3525
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
3526
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
3527
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
3528
(John Arbash Meinel)
3529
3530
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
3531
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
3532
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
3533
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
3534
useful. (Robert Collins)
3535
3536
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
3537
(Andrew Bennetts)
3538
3539
BUGFIXES:
3540
3541
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
3542
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
3543
3544
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
3545
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
3546
3547
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
3548
properly and is no longer beneficial.
3549
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
3550
3551
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
3552
(Aaron Bentley)
3553
3554
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
3555
the file, and does it faster.
3556
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
3557
3558
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
3559
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
3560
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
3561
3562
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
3563
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
3564
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
3565
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
3566
3567
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
3568
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
3569
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
3570
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
3571
3572
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
3573
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
3574
3575
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
3576
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
3577
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
3578
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
3579
Arbash Meinel)
3580
3581
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
3582
3583
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
3584
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
3585
3586
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
3587
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
3588
3589
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
3590
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
3591
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
3592
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
3593
security hole.
3594
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3595
3596
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3597
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3598
3599
TESTING:
3600
3601
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3602
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3603
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3604
3605
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3606
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3607
3608
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3609
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3610
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3611
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3612
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3613
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3614
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3615
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3616
3617
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3618
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3619
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3620
3621
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3622
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3623
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
3624
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
3625
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3626
access.
3627
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3628
3629
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3630
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3631
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3632
3633
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3634
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
3653
3654
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
3655

3656
(Martin Pool)
3657
3658
IMPROVEMENTS:
3659
3660
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3661
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3662
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3663
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3664
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3665
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3666
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3667
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3668
path. (vila)
3669
3670
INTERNALS:
3671
3672
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3673
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3674
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3675
3676
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3677
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3678
(Martin Pool)
3679
3680
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3681
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3682
(John Arbash Meinel)
3683
3684
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3685
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3686
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3687
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3688
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3689
3690
BUGFIXES:
3691
3692
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3693
(vila, #92195)
3694
3695
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3696
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3697
3698
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3699
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3700
3701
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3702
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3703
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3704
3705
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3706
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3707
3708
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3709
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3710
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3711
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3712
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3713
3714
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3715
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3716
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3717
3718
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
3722
-----------------------
3723
3724
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3725
3726
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3727
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3728
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3729
3730
IMPROVEMENTS:
3731
3732
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3733
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3734
3735
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3736
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3737
3738
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3739
3740
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3741
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3742
3743
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3744
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3745
3746
INTERNALS:
3747
3748
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3749
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
3750
3751
BUGFIXES:
3752
3753
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3754
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3755
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3756
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3757
3758
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3759
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3760
3761
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3762
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3763
3764
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3765
(Marien Zwart)
3766
3767
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

3771
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
3772
-----------------------
3773
3774
SURPRISES:
3775
3776
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
3777
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
3778
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
3779
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
3780
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
3781
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
3782
3783
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
3784
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
3785
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
3786
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
3787
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
3788
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
3789
development.
3790
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3791
3792
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
3793
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
3794
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
3795
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
3796
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
3797
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
3798
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
3799
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3800
3801
IMPROVEMENTS:
3802
3803
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3804
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3805
3806
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
3807
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
3808
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
3809
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
3810
does exist.
3811
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
3812
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
3813
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
3814
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
3815
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
3816
3817
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
3818
(Aaron Bentley)
3819
3820
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3821
(Aaron Bentley)
3822
3823
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3824
(Robert Collins)
3825
3826
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3827
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3828
(Aaron Bentley)
3829
3830
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3831
(Aaron Bentley)
3832
3833
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3834
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3835
3836
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3837
directory. (Martin Pool)
3838
3839
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3840
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3841
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3842
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3843
3844
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3845
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3846
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3847
in docs/configuration.txt.
3848
3849
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3850
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
3851
bind location.
3852
3853
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
3854
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
3855
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
3856
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
3857
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
3858
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3859
3860
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3861
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3862
3863
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3864
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3865
3866
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
3867
(Aaron Bentley)
3868
3869
INTERNALS:
3870
3871
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
3872
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
3873
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
3874
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
3875
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
3876
(John Arbash Meinel)
3877
3878
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
3879
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
3880
(Aaron Bentley)
3881
3882
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
3883
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
3884
(John Arbash Meinel)
3885
3886
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
3887
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
3888
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
3889
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
3890
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
3891
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
3892
3893
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
3894
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
3895
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
3896
3897
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
3898
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
3899
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
3900
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
3901
repository.
3902
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3903
3904
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
3905
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
3906
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
3907
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
3908
3909
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
3910
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
3911
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
3912
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
3913
3914
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
3915
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
3916
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
3917
3918
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
3919
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
3920
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
3921
3922
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
3923
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
3924
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
3925
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
3926
3927
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
3928
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
3929
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
3930
3931
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
3932
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
3933
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
3934
3935
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
3936
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
3937
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
3938
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
3939
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
3940
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
3941
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
3942
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
3943
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
3944
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
3945
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
3946
3947
BUGFIXES:
3948
3949
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
3950
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
3951
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
3952
3953
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
3954
(Aaron Bentley)
3955
3956
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
3957
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
3958
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
3959
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
3960
3961
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
3962
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
3963
#83954).
3964
3965
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
3966
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
3967
3968
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
3969
3970
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
3971
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
3972
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
3973
3974
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
3975
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
3976
3977
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
3978
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
3979
3980
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
3981
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
3982
3983
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
3984
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
3985
3986
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
3987
3988
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
3989
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
3990
3991
TESTING:
3992
3993
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
3994
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

4000
IMPROVEMENTS:
4001
4002
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
4003
4004
BUG FIXES:
4005
4006
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4007
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4008
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4009
4010
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
4011
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
4012
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

4015
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
4016
-----------------------
4017
4018
IMPROVEMENTS:
4019
4020
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
4021
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
4022
server, then you can write over the http connection.
4023
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4024
4025
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
4026
(Marius Kruger)
4027
4028
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
4029
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
4030
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4031
4032
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
4033
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
4034
4035
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
4036
(Aaron Bentley)
4037
4038
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
4039
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
4040
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
4041
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
4042
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
4043
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
4044
4045
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
4046
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
4047
should enable you to do::
4048
4049
[/home/user/project]
4050
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
4051
push_location:policy = appendpath
4052
4053
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
4054
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
4055
(James Henstridge)
4056
4057
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
4058
for each file. For example::
4059
4060
$ bzr status --short
4061
A foo
4062
A bar
4063
D baz
4064
? wooley
4065
4066
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
4067
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
4068
4069
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
4070
4071
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
4072
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
4073
4074
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
4075
4076
INTERNALS:
4077
4078
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
4079
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
4080
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
4081
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
4082
4083
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
4084
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
4085
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
4086
4087
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4088
4089
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
4090
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
4091
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
4092
(Alexander Belchenko)
4093
4094
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
4095
Pool)
4096
4097
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
4098
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
4099
4100
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
4101
4102
BUG FIXES:
4103
4104
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
4105
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
4106
4107
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
4108
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
4109
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
4110
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
4111
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
4112
4113
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
4114
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
4115
4116
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
4117
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4118
4119
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4120
matcher.
4121
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4122
4123
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4124
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4125
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4126
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4127
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4128
4129
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4130
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4131
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4132
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4133
4134
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4135
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4136
4137
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4138
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4139
4140
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4141
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
4142
4143
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

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

4155
IMPROVEMENTS:
4156
4157
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4158
tree from a branch.
4159
(Daniel Silverstone)
4160
4161
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4162
operations are substantially faster.
4163
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4164
4165
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4166
tree from some other url. For example:
4167
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4168
(Daniel Silverstone)
4169
4170
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4171
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4172
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4173
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4174
4175
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4176
(Andrew Bennetts)
4177
4178
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4179
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4180
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4181
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4182
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
4183
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4184
4185
INTERNALS:
4186
4187
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4188
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4189
(Martin Pool)
4190
4191
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4192
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4193
(John Arbash Meinel)
4194
4195
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4196
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4197
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4198
(John Arbash Meinel)
4199
4200
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4201
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4202
4203
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4204
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4205
4206
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4207
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4208
Bennetts)
4209
4210
BUG FIXES:
4211
4212
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4213
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4214
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4215
4216
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4217
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4218
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4219
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4220
4221
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4222
4223
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4224
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4225
4226
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4227
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4228
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4229
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4230
4231
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4232
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4233
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4234
4235
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4236
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4237
them as full references rather than integers.
4238
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4239
4240
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4241
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4242
4243
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4244
4245
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4246
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4247
4248
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4249
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4250
4251
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4252
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4253
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4254
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4255
4256
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4257
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4258
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4259
4260
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4261
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4262
4263
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4264
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4265
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4266
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4267
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4268
4269
TESTING:
4270
4271
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4272
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
4273

bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
4275
--------------------
4276
4277
INTERNALS:
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
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
4284
-----------------------
4285
4286
IMPROVEMENTS:
4287
4288
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4289
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4290
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4291
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4292
4293
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4294
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4295
4296
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4297
4298
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4299
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4300
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4301
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4302
4303
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4304
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4305
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4306
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4307
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4308
4309
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4310
4311
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4312
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4313
4314
INTERNALS:
4315
4316
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4317
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4318
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4319
4320
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4321
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4322
(John Arbash Meinel)
4323
4324
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4325
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4326
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4327
4328
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4329
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4330
(Aaron Bentley)
4331
4332
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4333
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4334
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4335
4336
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4337
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4338
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4339
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4340
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4341
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4342
4343
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4344
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4345
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4346
(Robert Collins)
4347
4348
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4349
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4350
4351
BUG FIXES:
4352
4353
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4354
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4355
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4356
#63360, #66349)
4357
4358
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4359
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
4360
4361
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4362
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4363
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4364
4365
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4366
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4367
4368
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4369
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4370
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4371
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4372
4373
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4374
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4375
4376
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4377
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4378
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4379
4380
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4381
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4382
4383
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4384
4385
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4386
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4387
#32054)
4388
4389
TESTING:
4390
4391
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4392
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4393
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4394
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4395
4396
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4397
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4398
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4399
4400
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

4410
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).

4414
4415
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
4416
-----------------------
4417
4418
IMPROVEMENTS:
4419
4420
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
4421
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
4422
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
4423
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
4424
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
4425
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
4426
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
4427
4428
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
4429
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
4430
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
4431
4432
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
4433
4434
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
4435
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
4436
4437
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
4438
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
4439
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
4440
(Robert Collins)
4441
4442
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
4443
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
4444
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
4445
(John Arbash Meinel)
4446
4447
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
4448
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
4449
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
4450
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
4451
Pool)
4452
4453
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
4454
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
4455
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
4456
(John Arbash Meinel)
4457
4458
BUG FIXES:
4459
4460
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
4461
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
4462
4463
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
4464
4465
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
4466
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
4467
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
4468
4469
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
4470
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
4471
4472
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
4473
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
4474
4475
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
4476
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
4477
4478
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
4479
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
4480
4481
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
4482
4483
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
4484
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
4485
4486
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
4487
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
4488
4489
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
4490
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
4491
4492
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
4493
(John Arbash Meinel)
4494
4495
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
4496
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
4497
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
4498
4499
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
4500
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4501
4502
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
4503
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
4504
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
4505
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
4506
4507
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
4508
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
4509
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
4510
4511
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
4512
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
4513
4514
PORTABILITY:
4515
4516
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
4517
4518
INTERNALS:
4519
4520
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
4521
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
4522
(John Arbash Meinel)
4523
4524
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
4525
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
4526
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
4527
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4528
4529
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
4530
(Andrew Bennetts)
4531
4532
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
4533
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
4534
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
4535
4536
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
4537
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
4538
4539
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
4540
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
4541
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
4542
4543
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
4544
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
4545
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
4546
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
4547
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
4548
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
4549
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
4550
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
4551
caller to repeat their request.
4552
(John Arbash Meinel)
4553
4554
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
4555
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
4556
4557
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
4558
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
4559
4560
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
4561
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
4562
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
4563
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
4564
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
4565
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
4566
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
4567
4568
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
4569
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
4570
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
4571
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
4572
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
4573
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
4574
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
4575
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
4576
(Robert Collins)
4577
4578
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
4579
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
4580
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
4581
4582
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
4583
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
4584
4585
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
4586
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
4587
4588
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
4589
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4590
4591
TESTING:
4592
4593
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
4594
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
4595
4596
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
4597
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
4598
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4599
4600
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
4601
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
4602
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4603
4604
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
4605
--------------------
4606
4607
IMPROVEMENTS:
4608
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
4609
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4610
4611
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
4612
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
4613
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
4614
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
4615
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
4616
4617
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
4618
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
4619
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
4620
4621
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
4622
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
4623
4624
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
4625
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
4626
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4627
4628
BUG FIXES:
4629
4630
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
4631
4632
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
4633
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
4634
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
4635
4636
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
4637
4638
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
4639
4640
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
4641
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
4642
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
4643
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
4644
4645
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
4646
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
4647
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
4648
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
4649
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
4650
4651
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
4652
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
4653
4654
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
4655
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
4656
4657
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
4658
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
4659
4660
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
4661
in handling of revision properties.
4662
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
4663
4664
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
4665
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
4666
4667
INTERNALS:
4668
4669
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
4670
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
4671
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
4672
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
4673
(John Arbash Meinel)
4674
4675
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
4676
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
4677
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4678
4679
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4680
---------------------
4681
4682
SURPRISES:
4683
4684
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
4685
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
4686
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
4687
specific one '.bzrignore'.
4688
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
4689
a more conservative list than the old default.
4690
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
4691
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
4692
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
4693
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
4694
4695
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4696
to more locations than just branch locations.
4697
(Aaron Bentley)
4698
4699
IMPROVEMENTS:
4700
4701
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
4702
revno:N:branch. For example,
4703
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
4704
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4705
4706
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
4707
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
4708
the path of a file that has been versioned.
4709
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
4710
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
4711
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
4712
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
4713
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
4714
#42517, #42514)
4715
4716
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
4717
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
4718
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
4719
(Malone #3507)
4720
4721
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
4722
(Alexander Belchenko)
4723
4724
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
4725
4726
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
4727
(Robert Collins).
4728
4729
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
4730
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
4731
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
4732
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
4733
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
4734
(John Arbash Meinel)
4735
4736
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
4737
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
4738
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
4739
grained analysis of performance.
4740
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4741
4742
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
4743
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
4744
4745
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
4746
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
4747
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
4748
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
4749
file. (Robert Collins).
4750
4751
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
4752
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
4753
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
4754
4755
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
4756
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
4757
Matthieu Moy)
4758
4759
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
4760
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
4761
4762
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
4763
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
4764
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
4765
the same way you would apply another branch.
4766
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4767
4768
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
4769
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
4770
4771
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
4772
(Michael Ellerman)
4773
4774
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
4775
(Aaron Bentley)
4776
4777
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
4778
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
4779
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
4780
4781
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
4782
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
4783
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
4784
4785
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
4786
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
4787
4788
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
4789
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
4790
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
4791
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
4792
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
4793
4794
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
4795
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
4796
4797
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
4798
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
4799
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
4800
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
4801
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
4802
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
4803
branch is as much as 4x faster.
4804
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
4805
4806
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
4807
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
4808
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
4809
4810
BUG FIXES:
4811
4812
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4813
tests not to run.
4814
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4815
4816
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4817
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4818
4819
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4820
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4821
4822
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4823
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4824
4825
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4826
4827
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4828
(John Arbash Meinel)
4829
4830
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4831
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4832
4833
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4834
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4835
and y.
4836
4837
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4838
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4839
4840
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4841
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4842
4843
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4844
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4845
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4846
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4847
4848
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4849
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4850
4851
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4852
4853
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4854
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4855
4856
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4857
4858
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4859
4860
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4861
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4862
4863
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4864
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4865
4866
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4867
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4868
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4869
4870
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4871
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4872
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4873
4874
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4875
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4876
4877
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4878
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4879
4880
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4881
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4882
4883
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4884
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4885
4886
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4887
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
4888
4889
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
4890
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
4891
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
4892
4893
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
4894
4895
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
4896
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
4897
4898
INTERNALS:
4899
4900
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
4901
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
4902
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
4903
4904
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
4905
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
4906
4907
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
4908
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
4909
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4910
4911
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
4912
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4913
4914
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
4915
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
4916
(Martin Pool)
4917
4918
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
4919
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
4920
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4921
4922
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
4923
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
4924
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4925
4926
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
4927
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
4928
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
4929
4930
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
4931
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
4932
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
4933
4934
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
4935
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
4936
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
4937
4938
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
4939
instead. (Robert Collins)
4940
4941
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
4944
---------------------

BUG FIXES:
4947
4948
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
4949
4950
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
4951
---------------------
4952
4953
BUG FIXES:
4954
4955
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
4956
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
4957
4958
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
4959
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4960
4961
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
4962
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
4963
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
4964
4965
CHANGES:
4966
4967
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
4968
4969
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
4970
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
4971
4972
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
4973
4974
CHANGES:
4975
4976
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
4977
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
4978
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
4979
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
4980
4981
NEW FEATURES:
4982
4983
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
4984
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
4985
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
4986
4987
INTERNALS:
4988
4989
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
4990
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
4991
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4992
4993
TESTING:
4994
4995
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
4996
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)

4998
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
4999
-------------------
5000
5001
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5002
5003
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
5004
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
5005
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
5006
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
5007
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
5008
will keep the same format.
5009
5010
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
5011
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
5012
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
5013
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
5014
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
5015
5016
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
5017
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
5018
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
5019
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
5020
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
5021
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
5022
indicating the current revision of the branch.
5023
5024
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
5025
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
5026
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
5027
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
5028
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
5029
5030
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
5031
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
5032
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
5033
arrangement.
5034
5035
5036
IMPROVEMENTS:
5037
5038
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
5039
convention. Paths now take the form::
5040
5041
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
5042
or
5043
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
5044
5045
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
5046
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
5047
5048
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
5049
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
5050
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
5051
5052
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
5053
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
5054
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
5055
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
5056
5057
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
5058
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
5059
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
5060
5061
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
5062
5063
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
5064
5065
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
5066
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
5067
commits::
5068
5069
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
5070
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
5071
| xargs bzr re-sign
5072
5073
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
5074
5075
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
5076
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
5077
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
5078
(Robert Collins)
5079
5080
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
5081
5082
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
5083
5084
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
5085
'.moved'.
5086
5087
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
5088
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
5089
5090
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
5091
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
5092
Daniel Silverstone)
5093
5094
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
5095
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
5096
Martin Pool)
5097
5098
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
5099
5100
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
5101
5102
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
5103
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
5104
5105
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
5106
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
5107
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
5108
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
5109
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
5110
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
5111
5112
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
5113
5114
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
5115
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
5116
(Robert Collins)
5117
5118
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
5119
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
5120
5121
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
5122
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
5123
5124
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
5125
5126
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
5127
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
5128
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
5129
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
5130
specification by Martin Pool.
5131
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
5132
5133
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
5134
Belchenko)
5135
5136
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
5137
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5138
5139
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
5140
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
5141
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
5142
5143
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
5144
5145
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
5146
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
5147
(Robert Collins)
5148
5149
CHANGES:
5150
5151
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
5152
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5153
5154
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
5155
5156
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
5157
5158
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
5159
(Olaf Conradi)
5160
5161
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
5162
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
5163
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
5164
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
5165
5166
INTERNALS:
5167
5168
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
5169
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
5170
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
5171
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5172
5173
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
5174
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
5175
tried. (Martin Pool)
5176
5177
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
5178
(Martin Pool)
5179
5180
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
5181
5182
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
5183
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
5184
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
5185
5186
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
5187
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5188
5189
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5190
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5191
paths. (Robert Collins)
5192
5193
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5194
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5195
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5196
5197
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5198
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5199
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5200
5201
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5202
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5203
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5204
5205
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5206
(Olaf Conradi)
5207
5208
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5209
(Olaf Conradi)
5210
5211
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5212
5213
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5214
5215
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5216
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5217
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5218
(Robert Collins)
5219
5220
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5221
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5222
5223
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5224
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5225
check. (Robert Collins)
5226
5227
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5228
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5229
5230
TESTING:
5231
5232
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5233
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5234
5235
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5236
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5237
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5238
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5239
5240
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5241
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5242
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5243
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5244
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5245
5246
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5247
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5248
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5249
5250
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5251
5252
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5253
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
5254
5255
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
5256
------------------
5257
5258
CHANGES:
5259
5260
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5261
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5262
5263
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5264
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5265
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5266
(Johan Rydberg)
5267
5268
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5269
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5270
5271
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5272
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5273
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5274
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5275
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5276
5277
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5278
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5279
used. (Robert Collins)
5280
5281
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5282
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5283
(James Henstridge)
5284
5285
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5286
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5287
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5288
5289
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5290
ignore list.
5291
5292
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5293
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
5294
5295
IMPROVEMENTS:
5296
5297
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5298
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5299
5300
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5301
5302
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5303
5304
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5305
tree. (Robert Collins)
5306
5307
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
5308
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
5309
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
5310
(Robert Collins)
5311
5312
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
5313
that they be kept.
5314
5315
* Tweaks to short log printing
5316
5317
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
5318
(Aaron Bentley)
5319
5320
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
5321
occurs. (Martin Pool)
5322
5323
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
5324
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
5325
5326
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
5327
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5328
5329
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5330
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5331
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5332
5333
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5334
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5335
5336
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5337
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5338
requests.
5339
5340
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5341
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5342
5343
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5344
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5345
5346
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5347
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5348
5349
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5350
(Denys Duchier)
5351
5352
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5353
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5354
5355
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5356
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5357
5358
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5359
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5360
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
5361
5362
BUG FIXES:
5363
5364
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
5365
5366
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5367
5368
* Error when run with -OO
5369
5370
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
5371
(Martin Pool)
5372
5373
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5374
5375
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5376
5377
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5378
ignored by diff and status
5379
5380
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5381
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5382
5383
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5384
5385
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5386
5387
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5388
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5389
5390
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5391
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5392
5393
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5394
(Harald Meland)
5395
5396
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5397
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5398
5399
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5400
5401
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5402
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5403
5404
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5405
(Martin Pool)
5406
5407
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5408
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5409
5410
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5411
5412
TESTING:
5413
5414
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5415
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5416
5417
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5418
5419
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5420
5421
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5422
5423
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5424
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5425
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5426
5427
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5428
5429
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5430
(John Arbash Meinel)
5431
5432
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5433
5434
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5435
If adding a new test script please add that to
5436
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5437
5438
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5439
imported. (Martin Pool)
5440
5441
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5442
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5443
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5444
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5445
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5446
(Robert Collins)
5447
5448
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5449
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5450
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5451
5452
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5453
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5454
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5455
5456
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5457
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5458
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5459
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5460
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5461
(Robert Collins).
5462
5463
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5464
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5465
(Robert Collins).
5466
5467
INTERNALS:
5468
5469
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5470
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5471
5472
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5473
function. (Robert Collins)
5474
5475
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5476
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5477
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5478
5479
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5480
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5481
(Robert Collins)
5482
5483
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5484
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5485
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5486
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5487
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5488
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5489
version. (Robert Collins)
5490
5491
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5492
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5493
5494
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5495
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5496
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5497
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5498
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5499
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5500
5501
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5502
(Robert Collins)
5503
5504
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5505
5506
add()
5507
commit()
5508
move()
5509
rename_one()
5510
unknowns()
5511
5512
(Robert Collins)
5513
5514
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5515
5516
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5517
5518
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5519
Pool)
5520
5521
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5522
query method. (Robert Collins)
5523
5524
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5525
(Denys Duchier)
5526
5527
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5528
(Michael Ellerman)
5529
5530
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5531
(Michael Ellerman)
5532
5533
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5534
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5535
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5536
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5537
5538
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5539
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5540
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5541
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5542
5543
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5544
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
5545

5549
IMPROVEMENTS:
5550
5551
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
5552
(John A Meinel)
5553
5554
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
5555
conflicts.
5556
(Aaron Bentley)
5557
5558
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
5559
a separator, not ':'.
5560
(Aaron Bentley)
5561
5562
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
5563
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
5564
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
5565
5566
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
5567
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
5568
(Robert Collins)
5569
5570
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
5571
has been added that suppresses all output.
5572
5573
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
5574
Adams.
5575
5576
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
5577
Goffredo Baroncelli.
5578
5579
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
5580
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
5581
5582
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
5583
a revision. (Robert Collins)
5584
5585
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
5586
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
5587
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
5588
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
5589
5590
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
5591
5592
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
5593
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
5594
5595
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
5596
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
5597
5598
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
5599
output directory, if one was supplied.
5600
5601
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
5602
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
5603
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
5604
parameters. (Robert Collins)
5605
5606
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
5607
5608
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
5609
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
5610
5611
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
5612
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
5613
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
5614
5615
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
5616
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
5617
5618
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
5619
(Aaron Bentley)
5620
5621
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
5622
5623
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
5624
5625
TESTING:
5626
5627
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
5628
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
5629
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
5630
5631
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
5632
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
5633
related questions. (Robert Collins)
5634
5635
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
5636
is given. (Martin Pool)
5637
5638
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
5639
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
5640
file. (Robert Collins)
5641
5642
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
5643
(Martin Pool)
5644
5645
INTERNALS:
5646
5647
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
5648
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
5649
representation. (Martin Pool).
5650
5651
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
5652
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
5653
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
5654
5655
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5656
(Robert Collins)
5657
5658
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
5659
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
5660
Magnus Therning.
5661
5662
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5663
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
5664
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5665
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5666
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5667
5668
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5669
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5670
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5671
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5672
python path. (Robert Collins)
5673
5674
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5675
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5676
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5677
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5678
5679
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5680
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5681
5682
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5683
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5684
(Robert Collins)
5685
5686
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5687
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5688
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5689
5690
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5691
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5692
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5693
5694
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5695
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5696
5697
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5698
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5699
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5700
(Robert Collins)
5701
5702
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5703
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5704
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5705
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5706
(Robert Collins)
5707
5708
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5709
(Robert Collins)
5710
5711
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5712
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5713
(Robert Collins)
5714
5715
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
5716
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
5717
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
5718
5719
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
5720
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
5721
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
5722
5723
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
5724
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
5725
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
5726
5727
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5728
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5729
5730
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
5731
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
5732
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
5733
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
5734
caller. (Robert Collins)
5735
5736
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
5737
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
5738
(Robert Collins).
5739
5740
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
5741
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
5742
(Aaron Bentley)
5743
5744
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
5745
5746
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
5747
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
5748
5749
BUG FIXES:
5750
5751
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
5752
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
5753
5754
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
5755
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
5756
5757
5758
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
5759
--------------------
5760
5761
BUG FIXES:
5762
5763
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
5764
allow directories to be listed.
5765
5766
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
5767
upgrading branch format.
5768
5769
PERFORMANCE:
5770
5771
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

5773
5774
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
5775
------------------
5776
5777
NOTES:
5778
5779
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
5780
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
5781
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
5782
high-latency connections.
5783
5784
BUG FIXES:
5785
5786
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
5787
Rob Weir.
5788
5789
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
5790
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
5791
5792
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
5793
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
5794
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
5795
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5796
5797
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5798
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5799
5800
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5801
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5802
5803
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
5804
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
5805
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5806
5807
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
5808
for files with only a change to their executable status.
5809
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
5810
Robert Collins
5811
5812
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5813
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5814
5815
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5816
different partial views of history.
5817
5818
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5819
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5820
5821
IMPROVEMENTS:
5822
5823
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5824
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5825
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5826
5827
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5828
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5829
'bzr upgrade'.
5830
5831
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5832
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5833
5834
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5835
Niemeyer.
5836
5837
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5838
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5839
5840
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5841
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5842
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5843
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5844
5845
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5846
5847
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5848
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5849
Gustavo Niemeyer.
5850
5851
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5852
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5853
5854
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5855
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5856
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5857
5858
5859
INTERNALS:
5860
5861
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5862
for your viewing pleasure.
5863
5864
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5865
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5866
5867
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5868
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5869
handling of such circumstances.
5870
5871
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
5872
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
5873
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
5874
5875
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5876
5877
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5878
we call them revisions not patches.
5879
5880
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5881
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5882
5883
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
5884
giving the revision *of that file*.
5885
5886
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
5887
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
5888
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
5889
5890
TESTING:
5891
5892
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
5893
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
5894
5895
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
5896
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
5897
5898
5899
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
5900
--------------------
5901
5902
BUG FIXES:
5903
5904
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
5905
5906
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
5907
(Robert Collins).
5908
5909
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
5910
5911
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
5912
5913
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
5914
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5915
5916
IMPROVEMENTS:
5917
5918
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
5919
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
5920
5921
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
5922
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
5923
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
5924
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
5925
Robey Pointer
5926
5927
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
5928
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5929
5930
INTERNALS:
5931
5932
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
5933
5934
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
5935
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
5936
5937
5938
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
5939
--------------------
5940
5941
IMPROVEMENTS:
5942
5943
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
5944
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
5945
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
5946
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
5947
Michael Ellerman.
5948
5949
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
5950
(Nir Soffer)
5951
5952
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
5953
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
5954
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
5955
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
5956
for the operating system is still tried.
5957
5958
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
5959
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
5960
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
5961
5962
5963
INTERNALS:
5964
5965
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
5966
5967
BUG FIXES:
5968
5969
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
5970
5971
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
5972
branch.
5973
5974
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
5975
read.

bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
5986
--------------------
5987
5988
NEW FEATURES:
5989
5990
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
5991
help with intelligent shell completion.
5992
5993
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
5994
5995
5996
ENHANCEMENTS:
5997
5998
* Much better merge support.
5999
6000
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
6001
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
6002
like emacs smerge.
6003
6004
6005
BUG FIXES:
6006
6007
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
6008
mention revisions that are not present.
6009
6010
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
6011
6012
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
6013
6014
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
6015
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
6016
6017
6018
CHANGES:
6019
6020
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
6021
6022
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
6023
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
6024
--help themselves.
6025
6026
6027
LIBRARY:
6028
6029
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
6030
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
6031
libraries.
6032
6033
6034
6035
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
6036
--------------------
6037
6038
NEW FEATURES:
6039
6040
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
6041
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
6042
6043
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
6044
6045
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
6046
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
6047
6048
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
6049
FOO.
6050
6051
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
6052
6053
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
6054
the Unix command.
6055
6056
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
6057
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
6058
6059
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
6060
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
6061
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
6062
6063
6064
ENHANCEMENTS:
6065
6066
* Faster working tree operations.
6067
6068
6069
CHANGES:
6070
6071
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
6072
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
6073
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
6074
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
6075
6076
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
6077
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
6078
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
6079
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
6080
standard plugins directory.
6081
6082
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
6083
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
6084
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
6085
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
6086
6087
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
6088
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
6089
6090
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
6091
disk.
6092
6093
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
6094
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
6095
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
6096
6097
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
6098
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
6099
6100
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
6101
line options must come before the command name because they
6102
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
6103
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
6104
it.
6105
6106
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
6107
6108
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
6109
is available with ``--short``.
6110
6111
6112
BUG FIXES:
6113
6114
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
6115
6116
6117
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
6118
---------------------
6119
6120
CHANGES:
6121
6122
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
6123
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6124
6125
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
6126
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
6127
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
6128
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
6129
6130
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
6131
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
6132
with the ``--forward`` option.
6133
6134
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
6135
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
6136
field.
6137
6138
6139
ENHANCEMENTS:
6140
6141
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6142
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
6143
6144
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
6145
6146
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
6147
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
6148
6149
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
6150
6151
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
6152
either read or write mode.
6153
6154
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
6155
6156
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
6157
affected that file.
6158
6159
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
6160
6161
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
6162
suggested by LarstiQ.
6163
6164
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
6165
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
6166
6167
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
6168
a filename.
6169
6170
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
6171
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
6172
6173
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
6174
haven't changed since the previous time.
6175
6176
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
6177
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
6178
6179
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
6180
6181
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
6182
6183
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
6184
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
6185
6186
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
6187
options through to an external GNU diff.
6188
6189
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
6190
their contents.
6191
6192
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
6193
from a branch.
6194
6195
6196
BUG FIXES:
6197
6198
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
6199
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
6200
6201
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
6202
metacharacters.
6203
6204
6205
TESTING:
6206
6207
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
6208
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
6209
the tests.
6210
6211
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
6212
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
6213
6214
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
6215
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
6216
6217
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
6218
under a different version.
6219
6220
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
6221
6222
6223
INTERNAL:
6224
6225
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
6226
6227
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
6228
Scott James Remnant.
6229
6230
* Better help messages for many commands.
6231
6232
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
6233
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
6234
6235
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
6236
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
6237
6238
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
6239
6240
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
6241
6242
* New AtomicFile class.
6243
6244
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
6245
6246
6247
PORTABILITY:
6248
6249
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
6250
2.4 is now only recommended.
6251
6252
6253
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
6254
---------------------
6255
6256
ENHANCEMENTS:
6257
6258
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
6259
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
6260
6261
* More default ignore patterns.
6262
6263
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
6264
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
6265
6266
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
6267
6268
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
6269
by Jason Diamon.
6270
6271
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
6272
6273
6274
CHANGES:
6275
6276
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
6277
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
6278
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
6279
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
6280
there are DNS problems.
6281
6282
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
6283
6284
6285
BUG FIXES:
6286
6287
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
6288
6289
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
6290
6291
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
6292
trailing newlines properly.
6293
6294
6295
INTERNAL:
6296
6297
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
6298
Matt Brubeck.
6299
6300
* More tests in test.sh.
6301
6302
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
6303
directory and delete it when done.
6304
6305
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
6306
6307
6308
PORTABILITY:
6309
6310
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
6311
Bennetts.
6312
6313
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
6314
from QuantumG.

6323
in the tree.
6324
6325

6326
6327
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
6328
and/or directory.
6329
6330
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
6331
directory.
6332
6333
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
6334
6335
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
6336
6337
CHANGES:
6338
6339
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
6340
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
6341
will do for now.)
6342
6343
PORTABILITY:
6344
6345
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
6346
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
6347
Nielsen.
6348
6349
INTERNAL:
6350
6351
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
6352
6353
TESTING:
6354
6355

6367
-----------------------------------
6368
6369
ENHANCEMENTS:
6370
6371
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
6372
6373
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
6374
rather than replacing it.
6375
6376
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
6377
6378
* More help topics.
6379
6380
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
6381
branch.
6382
6383
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
6384
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
6385
6386
* Performance improvements.
6387
6388
* New global --profile option.
6389
6390
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
6391
the root directory only.
6392
6393
6394
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
6395

6399
* More information from info command.
6400
6401

6404
committing to stores.
6405
6406
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
6407
6408
BUG FIXES:
6409

6411
6412
PORTABILITY:
6413
6414

6415
installation easier.
6416
6417
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
6418
supported).
6419

6421
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
6422
------------------------
6423
6424
ENHANCEMENTS:
6425
6426
* First public release.
