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
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
25
``bzr help push``. (Robert Collins)
26
27
IMPROVEMENTS:
28
29
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
30
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
31
(Martin Pool)
32
33
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
34
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
35
(Christophe Troestler)
36
37
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
38
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
39
40
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
41
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
42
faster. The new request method name is
43
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
44
45
BUG FIXES:
46
47
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
48
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
49
50
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
51
requires a branch to be present.
52
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
53
54
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
55
loaded.
56
(Martin Pool, #205230)
57
58
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
59
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
60
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
61
(Martin Pool, #240161)
62
63
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
64
name contains an @.
65
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
66
67
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
68
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
69
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
70
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
71
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
72
73
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
74
(Martin Pool, #172870)
75
76
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
77
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
78
79
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
80
Cygwin Bazaar.
81
(Matt McClure, #209281)
82
83
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
84
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
85
86
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
87
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
88
89
DOCUMENTATION:
90
91
* Updated developer documentation.
92
(Martin Pool)
93
94
TESTING:
95
96
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
97
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
98
99
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
100
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
101
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
102
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
103
104
API CHANGES:
105
106
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
107
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
108
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
109
Repository docstring for more details.
110
(Robert Collins)
111
112
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
113
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
114
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
115
116
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
117
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
118
(Daniel Watkins)
119
120
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
121
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
122
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
123
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
124
125
INTERNALS:
126
127
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
128
(Alexander Belchenko)
129
130
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
131
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
132
containing a given location.
133
(Daniel Watkins)
134
135
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
136
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
137
storage. (Robert Collins)
138
139
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
140
(Robert Collins)
141
142
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
143
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
144
(Robert Collins)
145
146
147
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
148
-----------------------
149
150
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
151
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
152
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
153
now faster.
154
155
BUG FIXES:
156
157
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
158
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
159
reading from the repository.)
160
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
161
162
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
163
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
164
165
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
166
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
167
(Andrew Bennetts)
168
169
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
170
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
171
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
172
173
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
174
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
175
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
176
177
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
178
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
179
180
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
181
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
182
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
183
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
184
185
IMPROVEMENTS:
186
187
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
188
189
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
190
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
191
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
192
(Adrian Wilkins)
193
194
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
195
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
196
197
DOCUMENTATION:
198
199
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
200
201
TESTING:
202
203
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
204
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
205
206
API CHANGES:
207
208
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
209
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
210
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
211
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
212
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
213
214
INTERNALS:
215
216
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
217
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
218
219
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
220
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
221
222
223
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
224
-----------------------
225
226
227
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
228
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
229
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
230
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
231
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
232
and future extensions.
233
234
235
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
236
237
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
238
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
239
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
240
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
241
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
242
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
243
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
244
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
245
246
CHANGES:
247
248
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
249
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
250
(John Arbash Meinel)
251
252
FEATURES:
253
254
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
255
load. (James Westby)
256
257
IMPROVEMENTS:
258
259
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
260
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
261
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
262
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
263
264
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
265
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
266
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
267
268
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
269
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
270
271
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
272
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
273
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
274
275
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
276
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
277
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
278
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
279
step closer to not using full revision history.
280
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
281
282
BUGFIXES:
283
284
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
285
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
286
287
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
288
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
289
290
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
291
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
292
293
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
294
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
295
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
296
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
297
298
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
299
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
300
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
301
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
302
303
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
304
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
305
in use by another process.
306
(Martin Pool)
307
308
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
309
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
310
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
311
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
312
313
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
314
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
315
316
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
317
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
318
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
319
320
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
321
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
322
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
323
324
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
325
them.
326
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
327
328
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
329
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
330
331
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
332
under vim on Mac OS X.
333
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
334
335
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
336
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
337
338
DOCUMENTATION:
339
340
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
341
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
342
343
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
344
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
345
(Ian Clatworthy)
346
347
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
348
and about use of Python reprs.
349
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
350
351
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
352
353
TESTING:
354
355
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
356
(Robert Collins)
357
358
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
359
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
360
361
* New helper function for splitting test suites
362
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
363
364
INTERNALS:
365
366
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
367
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
368
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
369
(John Arbash Meinel)
370
371
API CHANGES:
372
373
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
374
instead. (Martin Pool)
375
376
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
377
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
378
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
379
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
380
381
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
382
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
383
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
384
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
385
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
386
387
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
388
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
389
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
390
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
391
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
392
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
393
394
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
395
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
396
(Martin Pool)
397
398
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
399
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
400
(Robert Collins)
401
402
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
403
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
404
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
405
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
406
407
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
408
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
409
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
410
411
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
412
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
413
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
414
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
415
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
416
(Martin Pool)
417
418
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
419
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
420
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
421
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
422
(Robert Collins)
423
424
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
425
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
426
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
427
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
428
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
429
430
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
431
(Martin Pool)
432
433
434
bzr 1.5 2008-05-16
435
------------------
436
437
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
438
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
439
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
440
441
CHANGES:
442
443
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
444
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
445
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
446
447
DOCUMENTATION:
448
449
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
450
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

457
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
458
459
CHANGES:
460
461
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
462
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
463
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
464
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
465
466
FEATURES:
467
468
IMPROVEMENTS:
469
470
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
471
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
472
473
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
474
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
475
476
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
477
(Aaron Bentley)
478
479
BUGFIXES:
480
481
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
482
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
483
484
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
485
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
486
487
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
488
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
489
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
490
491
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
492
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
493
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
494
495
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
496
(Andreas Deininger)
497
498
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
499
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
500
501
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
502
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
503
504
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
505
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
506
507
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
508
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
509
510
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
511
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
512
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
513
514
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
515
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
516
517
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
518
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
519
520
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
521
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
522
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
523
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
524
525
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
526
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
527
(Martin Pool)
528
529
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
530
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
531
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
532
533
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
534
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
535
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
536
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
537
every revision each side had in common.
538
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
539
540
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
541
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
542
543
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
544
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
545
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
546
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
547
548
DOCUMENTATION:
549
550
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
551
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
552
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
553
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
554
555
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
556
557
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
558
559
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
560
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
561
562
TESTING:
563
564
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
565
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
566
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
567
568
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
569
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
570
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
571
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
572
573
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
574
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
575
576
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
577
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
578
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
579
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
580
581
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
582
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
583
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
584
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
585
586
INTERNALS:
587
588
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
589
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
590
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
591
592
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
593
594
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
595
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
596
597
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
598
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
599
600
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
601
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
602
603
API CHANGES:
604
605
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
606
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
607
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
608
609
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
610
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
611
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
612
(Aaron Bentley)
613
614
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
615
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
616
(Martin Pool)
617
618
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

bzr 1.4 2008-04-28
623
------------------
624
625
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
626
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
627
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
628
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
629
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
630
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
631
and faster performance.
632
633
BUG FIXES:
634
635
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
636
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
637
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
642
---------------------
643
644
BUG FIXES:
645
646
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
647
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
648
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
649
650
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
651
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
652
653
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
654
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
655
656
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
657
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
658
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
659
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
660
every revision each side had in common.

664
bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
665
---------------------
666
667
CHANGES:
668
669
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
670
671
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
672
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
673
674
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
675
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
676
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
677
678
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
679
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
680
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
681
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
682
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
683
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
684
Andrew Cowie)
685
686
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
687
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
688
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
689
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
690
691
FEATURES:
692
693
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
694
695
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
696
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
697
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
698
699
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
700
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
701
See the User Reference for signature details.
702
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
703
704
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
705
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
706
707
IMPROVEMENTS:
708
709
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
710
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
711
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
712
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
713
714
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
715
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
716
717
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
718
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
719
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
720
Wouter van Heyst)
721
722
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
723
(Chad Miller)
724
725
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
726
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
727
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
728
729
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
730
(Aaron Bentley)
731
732
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
733
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
734
735
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
736
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
737
738
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
739
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
740
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
741
742
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
743
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
744
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
745
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
746
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
747
748
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
749
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
750
751
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
752
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
753
754
BUGFIXES:
755
756
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
757
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
758
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
759
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
760
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
761
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
762
763
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
764
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
765
766
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
767
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
768
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
769
770
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
771
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
772
773
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
774
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
775
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
776
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
777
778
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
779
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
780
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
781
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
782
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
783
784
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
785
786
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
787
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
788
789
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
790
791
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
792
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
793
794
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
795
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
796
797
DOCUMENTATION:
798
799
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
800
801
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
802
803
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
804
805
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
806
807
API BREAKS:
808
809
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
810
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
811
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
812
813
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
814
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
815
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
816
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
817
818
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
819
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
820
release. (James Westby)
821
822
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
823
(Andrew Bennetts)
824
825
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
826
827
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
828
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
829
830
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
831
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
832
833
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
834
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
835
836
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
837
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
838
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
839
840
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
841
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
842
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
843
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
844
845
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
846
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
847
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
848
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
849
850
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
851
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
852
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
853
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
854
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
855
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
856
857
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
858
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
859
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
860
861
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
862
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
863
864
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
865
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
866
(Robert Collins)
867
868
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
869
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
870
871
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
872
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
873
874
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
875
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
876
877
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
878
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
879
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
880
881
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
882
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
883
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
884
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
885
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
886
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
887
888
TESTING:
889
890
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
891
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
892
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
893
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
894
895
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
896
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
897
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
898
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
899
implement this).
900
(Vincent Ladeuil)
901
902
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
903
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
904
(Vincent Ladeuil)
905
906
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
907
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
908
909
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
910
911
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
912
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
913
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
914
915
INTERNALS:
916
917
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
918
919
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
920
(Martin Albisetti)
921
922
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
923
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
924
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
925
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
926
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
927
(Martin Pool, #109520)
928
929
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
930
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
931
932
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
933
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
934
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
935
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
936
937
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
938
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
939
940
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
941
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.3rc1 2008-04-04
951
---------------------
952
953
BUG FIXES:
954
955
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
956
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
957
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).

961
bzr 1.3 2008-03-20
962
------------------
963
964
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
965
966
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
967
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
968
features have been added.
969
970
TESTING:
971
972
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
973
directory names.
974

978
---------------------
979
980
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
981
982
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
983
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
984
985
CHANGES:
986
987
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
988
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
989
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
990
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
991
(Robert Collins)
992
993
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
994
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
995
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
996
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
997
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
998
(Alexander Belchenko)
999
1000
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1001
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1002
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1003
(Alexander Belchenko)
1004
1005
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1006
1007
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1008
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1009
1010
FEATURES:
1011
1012
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1013
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1014
1015
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1016
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1017
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1018
1019
IMPROVEMENTS:
1020
1021
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1022
1023
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1024
1025
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1026
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1027
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1028
1029
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1030
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1031
1032
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1033
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1034
1035
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1036
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1037
(Alexander Belchenko)
1038
1039
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1040
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1041
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1042
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1043
1044
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1045
(Daniel Watkins)
1046
1047
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1048
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1049
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1050
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1051
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1052
1053
BUGFIXES:
1054
1055
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1056
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1057
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1058
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1059
1060
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1061
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1062
1063
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1064
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1065
1066
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1067
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1068
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
1069
1070
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1071
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1072
1073
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1074
#196618)
1075
1076
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1077
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1078
1079
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1080
1081
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1082
1083
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1084
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1085
1086
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1087
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1088
1089
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1090
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1091
1092
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1093
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1094
1095
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1096
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1097
1098
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1099
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1100
1101
DOCUMENTATION:
1102
1103
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
1104
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1105
1106
API BREAKS:
1107
1108
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1109
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1110
(Alexander Belchenko)
1111
1112
TESTING:
1113
1114
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1115
1116
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1117
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1118
(Robert Collins)
1119
1120
INTERNALS:
1121
1122
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1123
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1124
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1125
1126
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1127
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1128
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1129
(Alexander Belchenko)
1130
1131
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1132
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1133
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1134
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1135
1136
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1137
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1138
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1139
(Robert Collins)
1140
1141
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1142
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1143
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1144
1145
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1146
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1147
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1148
1149
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1150
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1151
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1152
format. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.2 2008-02-15
1156
------------------
1157
1158
BUG FIXES:
1159
1160
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)

1162
1163
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
1164
---------------------
1165
1166
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1167
1168
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1169
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1170
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1171
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1172
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1173
(Andrew Bennetts)
1174
1175
CHANGES:
1176
1177
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1178
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1179
1180
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1181
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1182
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1183
1184
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1185
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1186
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1187
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1188
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1189
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1190
(Aaron Bentley)
1191
1192
FEATURES:
1193
1194
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1195
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1196
1197
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1198
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1199
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1200
(Robert Collins)
1201
1202
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1203
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1204
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1205
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1206
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1207
1208
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1209
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1210
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1211
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1212
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1213
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1214
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1215
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1216
1217
IMPROVEMENTS:
1218
1219
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1220
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1221
1222
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1223
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1224
1225
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1226
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1227
1228
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1229
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1230
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1231
1232
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1233
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1234
(John Arbash Meinel)
1235
1236
BUGFIXES:
1237
1238
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1239
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1240
1241
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1242
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1243
1244
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1245
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1246
1247
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1248
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1249
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1250
1251
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1252
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1253
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1254
1255
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1256
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1257
1258
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1259
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1260
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1261
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1262
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1263
unittest runner.
1264
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1265
1266
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1267
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1268
#185907)
1269
1270
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1271
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1272
1273
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1274
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1275
1276
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1277
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1278
1279
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1280
more characters which should be considered valid.
1281
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1282
1283
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1284
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1285
1286
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1287
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1288
1289
API BREAKS:
1290
1291
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1292
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1293
1294
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1295
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1296
(Martin Pool)
1297
1298
TESTING:
1299
1300
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1301
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1302
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1303
1304
INTERNALS:
1305
1306
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1307
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1308
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1309
1310
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1311
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1312
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1313
1314
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1315
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1316
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1317
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1318
1319
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1320
1321
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1322
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1323
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1324
server. (Robert Collins)
1325
1326
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1327
operate. (Robert Collins)
1328
1329
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1330
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1331
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1332
1333
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1334
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1335
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1336
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1337
1338
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1339
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1340
1341
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1342
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1343
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1344
1345
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1346
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1347
1348
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1349
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1350
1351
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1352
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1353
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1354
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.1 2008-01-15
1358

(no changes from 1.1rc1)
1361
1362
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
1363
---------------------
1364
1365
CHANGES:
1366
1367
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1368
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1369
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1370
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1371
1372
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1373
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1374
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1375
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1376
1377
FEATURES:
1378
1379
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1380
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1381
1382
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1383
(Aaron Bentley)
1384
1385
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1386
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1387
1388
IMPROVEMENTS:
1389
1390
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1391
#90049)
1392
1393
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1394
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1395
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1396
1397
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1398
1399
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1400
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1401
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1402
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1403
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1404
1405
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1406
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1407
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1408
1409
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1410
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1411
1412
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1413
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1414
1415
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1416
1417
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1418
1419
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1420
(Aaron Bentley)
1421
1422
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1423
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1424
1425
BUGFIXES:
1426
1427
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1428
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1429
1430
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1431
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1432
1433
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1434
(Aaron Bentley)
1435
1436
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1437
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1438
1439
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1440
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1441
1442
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1443
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1444
1445
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1446
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1447
1448
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1449
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1450
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1451
1452
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1453
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1454
1455
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1456
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1457
(Aaron Bentley)
1458
1459
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1460
1461
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1462
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1463
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1464
1465
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1466
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1467
1468
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1469
(Aaron Bentley)
1470
1471
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1472
#148087)
1473
1474
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1475
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1476
1477
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1478
#137681)
1479
1480
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1481
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1482
(Aaron Bentley)
1483
1484
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1485
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
1486
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
1487

DOCUMENTATION:
1489
1490
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1491
(Ian Clatworthy)
1492
1493
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1494
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1495
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1496
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1497
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1498
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1499
1500
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1501
1502
INTERNALS:

(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1509
1510
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1511
1512
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1513
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1514
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1515
Robert Collins)
1516
1517
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1518
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1519
1520
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
1521

1522
1523
API BREAKS:
1524
1525
TESTING:
1526
1527
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
1528
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1529
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
1530
1531
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1532
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1533
(Robert Collins)
1534
1535
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1536
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1537
1538

1539
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1540
1541
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1542
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1543
1544
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
1545
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
1546
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1547
1548
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1549
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1550
1551
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
1552
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1553
1554
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
1555
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
1556
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1557
1558
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
1559
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
1560
1561
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
1562
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

1587
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug

1589
by mail to the mailing list.
1590
(Martin Pool)
1591
1592
BUGFIXES:
1593
1594
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
1595
1596
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
1597
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
1598
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
1599
feedback but also incur more latency.
1600
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
1601
1602
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
1603
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)

1611
1612
INTERNALS:
1613
1614
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the

IMPROVEMENTS:
1624
1625
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1626
1627
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
1628
(Aaron Bentley)
1629
1630
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
1631
Nordhoff, #172612)
1632
1633
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1634
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1635
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
1636
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1637
1638
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
1639
(Kent Gibson)
1640
1641
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1642
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1643
1644
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1645
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1646
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1647
1648
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1649
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1650
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1651
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1652
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1653
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1654
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1655
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1656
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
1657
1658
INTERNALS:
1659
1660
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.

* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
1668
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
1669
1670
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
1671
filename to user.
1672
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1673
1674
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1675
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1676
required.
1677
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
1678
1679
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1680
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
1681
1682
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
1683
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
1684
1685

bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
1692
---------------------
1693
1694
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1695
1696
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1697
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1698
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1699
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1700
1701
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1702
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1703
1704
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1705
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1706
1707
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1708
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1709
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1710
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1711
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1712
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1713
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1714
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1715
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1716
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1717
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1718
from any tree without problems.
1719
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
1720
1721
CHANGES:
1722
1723
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1724
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1725
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1726
1727
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
1728
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
1729
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
1730
(Martin Pool)
1731
1732
FEATURES:
1733
1734
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
1735
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
1736
supported transports.
1737
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1738
1739
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
1740
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
1741
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
1742
1743
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1744
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1745
1746
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
1747
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
1748
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
1749
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
1750
1751
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
1752
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
1753
1754
PERFORMANCE:
1755
1756
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
1757
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
1758
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
1759
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1760
1761
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
1762
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
1763
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
1764
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
1765
1766
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
1767
(Robert Collins, #88319)
1768
1769
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
1770
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
1771
1772
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1773
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1774
1775
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1776
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1777
(Aaron Bentley)
1778
1779
IMPROVEMENTS:
1780
1781
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1782
(Aaron Bentley)
1783
1784
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1785
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1786
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1787
1788
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1789
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1790
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1791
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1792
1793
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1794
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1795
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1796
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

1807
1808
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
1809
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)

1811
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
1812
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)

* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
1815

1826
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
1827
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).

* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
1830
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
1831

formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
1838
1839
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
1840
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
1841
1842
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
1843
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
1844
1845
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
1846
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
1847
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
1848
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
1849
on them.
1850
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1851
1852

1853
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1854
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
1855
1856
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
1857
(Robert Collins, #161240)
1858
1859
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
1860
to be reconciled.
1861
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1862
1863
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1864
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1865
1866
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1867
specify a port in urls.
1868
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1869
1870
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
1871
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
1872
1873
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.

1875
1876
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
1877
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
1878
1879
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
1880
(Robert Collins, #153789)
1881
1882
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
1883
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
1884
(Robert Collins, #165304).
1885
1886
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
1887
1888
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
1889
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
1890
1891
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
1892
Watkins, #152811)
1893
1894
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
1895
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
1896
1897
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
1898
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
1899
1900
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
1901
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
1902
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
1903
1904
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
1905
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
1906
1907
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
1908
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
1909
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
1910
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
1911
1912
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
1913
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
1914
1915
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
1916
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
1917
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
1918
1919
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
1920
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
1921
1922
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
1923
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
1924
1925
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
1926
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
1927
1928
API BREAKS:
1929
1930
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
1931
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
1932
1933
* The return value of
1934
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
1935
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
1936
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
1937
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
1938
1939
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
1940
(Robert Collins)
1941
1942
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
1943
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
1944
format.
1945
(Martin Pool)
1946
1947
INTERNALS:
1948
1949
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
1950
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
1951
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
1952
Bennetts)
1953
1954
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
1955
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
1956
1957
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1974
1975
CHANGES:
1976
1977
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
1978
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
1979
1980
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
1981
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
1982
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
1983
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
1984
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
1985
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
1986
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
1987
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
1988
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
1989
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
1990
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
1991
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
1992
(Robert Collins)
1993
1994
FEATURES:
1995
1996
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
1997
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
1998
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
1999
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
2000
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
2001
for further details. (Robert Collins)
2002
2003
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
2004
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
2005
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2006
(Robert Collins)
2007
2008
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2009
2010
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2011
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2012
2013
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2014
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2015
(Aaron Bentley)
2016
2017
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2018
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2019
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
2020
2021
PERFORMANCE:
2022
2023
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
2024
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2025
2026
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
2027
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
2028
2029
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
2030
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
2031
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
2032
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
2033
2034
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
2035
(Robert Collins)
2036
2037
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
2038
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
2039
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
2040
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
2041
2042
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
2043
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
2044
2045
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2046
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2047
2048
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2049
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2050
2051
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2052
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2053
2054
IMPROVEMENTS:
2055
2056
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2057
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2058
2059
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2060
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2061
2062
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2063
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2064
2065
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2066
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2067
2068
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2069
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2070
2071
DOCUMENTATION:
2072
2073
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2074
2075
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2076
(Ian Clatworthy)
2077
2078
BUG FIXES:
2079
2080
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2081
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2082
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2083
2084
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2085
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2086
2087
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2088
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2089
2090
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2091
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2092
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2093
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2094
2095
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2096
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2097
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2098
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2099
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2100
2101
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2102
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2103
paramiko.
2104
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2105
2106
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2107
2108
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2109
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2110
2111
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2112
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2113
2114
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2115
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2116
2117
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2118
contains a symbolic link.
2119
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2120
2121
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2122
(James Westby, #140615)
2123
2124
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2125
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2126
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2127
2128
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2129
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2130
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2131
2132
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2133
2134
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2135
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2136
2137
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2138
will remain opened.
2139
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2140
2141
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2142
directory to detect leaking tests.
2143
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2144
2145
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2146
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2147
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2148
2149
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2150
(Rob Weir, #141629)
2151
2152
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2153
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2154
2155
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2156
Merwe)
2157
2158
API BREAKS:
2159
2160
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2161
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2162
2163
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2164
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2165
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2166
2167
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2168
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2169
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2170
2171
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2172
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2173
2174
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2175
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2176
2177
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2178
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2179
(Martin Pool)
2180
2181
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2182
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2183
2184
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2185
class that needs it.
2186
(Martin Pool)
2187
2188
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2189
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2190
2191
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2192
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2193
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2194
2195
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2196
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2197
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2198
(Robert Collins)
2199
2200
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2201
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2202
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2203
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2204
(Robert Collins)
2205
2206
INTERNALS:
2207
2208
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2209
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2210
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2211
2212
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2213
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2214
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2215
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2216
2217
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2218
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2219
(Robert Collins)
2220
2221
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2222
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2223
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2224
2225
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2226
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2227
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2228
2229
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2230
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2231
2232
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2233
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2234
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2235
2236
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2237
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2238
2239
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2240
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2241
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2242
2243
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2244
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2245
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2246
2247
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2248
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2249
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2250
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2251
2252
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2253
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2254
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2255
returned. (Robert Collins)
2256
2257
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2258
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2259
2260
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2261
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2262
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2263
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2264
(Robert Collins)
2265
2266
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2267
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2268
2269
TESTING:
2270
2271
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2272
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2273
2274
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2275
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2276
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2277
makes this behavior available to other users.
2278
(Martin Pool)
2279
2280
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2281
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
2285
-------------------
2286
2287
BUG FIXES:
2288
2289
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2290
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2291
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2292
2293
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2294
2295
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2296
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2297
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2298
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2299
2300
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2301
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.

2304
2305
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
2306
----------------------
2307
2308
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
2309
in bzrlib/remote.py.

2312
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
2313
----------------------
2314
2315
CHANGES:
2316
2317
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
2318
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
2319
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
2320
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
2321
(Martin Pool)
2322
2323
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
2324
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
2325
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
2326
(Ian Clatworthy)
2327
2328
FEATURES:
2329
2330
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
2331
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
2332
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
2333
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2334
2335
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
2336
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
2337
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
2338
2339
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2340
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2341
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2342
2343
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2344
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2345
2346
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
2347
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
2348
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
2349
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
2350
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
2351
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
2352
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
2353
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
2354
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
2355
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
2356
2357
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2358
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2359
2360
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
2361
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
2362
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2363
2364
BUG FIXES:
2365
2366
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2367
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2368
2369
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
2370
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
2371
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
2372
2373
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2374
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2375
2376
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2377
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2378
2379
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2380
(Aaron Bentley)
2381
2382
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2383
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2384
2385
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2386
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2387
2388
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2389
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2390
2391
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2392
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2393
2394
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2395
2396
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2397
Watkins, #106726)
2398
2399
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
2400
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
2401
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
2402
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
2403
2404
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2405
2406
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
2407
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
2408
#133548)
2409
2410
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2411
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2412
2413
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2414
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2415
#116143)
2416
2417
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2418
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2419
2420
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2421
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2422
2423
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
2424
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
2425
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
2426
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
2427
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
2428
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
2429
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
2430
2431
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2432
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2433
2434
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2435
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2436
2437
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2438
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2439
2440
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2441
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2442
2443
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2444
connections.
2445
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2446
2447
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2448
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
2449
2450
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
2451
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
2452
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
2453
2454
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2455
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2456
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2457
2458
IMPROVEMENTS:
2459
2460
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2461
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2462
2463
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2464
(Aaron Bentley)
2465
2466
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2467
(Aaron Bentley)
2468
2469
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2470
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2471
2472
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2473
2474
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2475
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2476
2477
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2478
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2479
2480
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
2481
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
2482
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
2483
space). (Robert Collins)
2484
2485
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2486
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2487
(Ian Clatworthy)
2488
2489
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2490
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2491
2492
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2493
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2494
2495
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
2496
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
2497
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
2498
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
2499
2500
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
2501
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
2502
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
2503
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2504
2505
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
2506
(Ian Clatworthy)
2507
2508
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
2509
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
2510
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
2511
2512
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
2513
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
2514
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
2515
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
2516
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
2517
2518
API BREAKS:
2519
2520
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
2521
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2522
2523
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
2524
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
2525
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
2526
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
2527
affected. (Robert Collins)
2528
2529
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
2530
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
2531
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
2532
(Robert Collins)
2533
2534
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2535
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2536
2537
TESTING:
2538
2539
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
2540
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
2541
2542
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
2543
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2544
2545
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2546
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2547
2548
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
2549
(Aaron Bentley)
2550
2551
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
2552
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2553
2554
INTERNALS:
2555
2556
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
2557
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
2558
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
2559
its version information. (Robert Collins)
2560
2561
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
2562
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2563
2564
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
2565
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
2566
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
2567
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2568
2569
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
2570
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
2571
present. (Robert Collins)
2572
2573
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
2574
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
2575
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
2576
API. (Robert Collins)
2577
2578
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
2579
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
2580
(Robert Collins)
2581
2582
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
2583
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
2584
2585
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
2586
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
2587
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
2588
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
2589
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
2590
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
2591
2592
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
2593
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
2594
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
2595
2596
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
2597
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
2598
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
2599
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
2600
protocol.
2601
2602
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
2603
(Aaron Bentley)
2604
2605
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
2606
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
2607
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
2608
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
2609
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
2610
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
2611
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
2612
2613
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
2614
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
2615
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
2616
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
2617
2618
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
2619
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
2620
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
2621
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
2622
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
2623
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
2624
2625
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
2626
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
2627
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
2628
2629
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
2630
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2631
2632
2633
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
2634
-------------------
2635
2636
IMPROVEMENTS:
2637
2638
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2639
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2640
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2641
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2642
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2643
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2644
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
2645
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
2646
2647
2648
API CHANGES:
2649
2650
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2651
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2652
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
2653
2654
2655
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
2656
----------------------
2657
2658
BUGFIXES:
2659
2660
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2661
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2662
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2663
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2664
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2665
2666
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2667
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2668
2669
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2670
anymore.
2671
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2672
2673
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2674
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2675
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2676
2677
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2678
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2679
#111664)
2680
2681
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2682
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2683
2684
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2685
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2686
2687
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2688
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2689
2690
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2691
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2692
2693
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2694
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2695
2696
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2697
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2698
2699
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2700
(Aaron Bentley)
2701
2702
IMPROVEMENTS:
2703
2704
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2705
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2706
2707
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2708
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2709
2710
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2711
the repository (Robert Collins)
2712
2713
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2714
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2715
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2716
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2717
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2718
2719
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2720
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2721
2722
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2723
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2724
(John Arbash Meinel)
2725
2726
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2727
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2728
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2729
about 10%).
2730
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2731
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2732
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2733
(John Arbash Meinel)
2734
2735
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2736
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2737
(Robert Collins)
2738
2739
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2740
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2741
2742
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2743
(Ian Clatworthy)
2744
2745
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2746
2747
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2748
2749
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2750
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2751
2752
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2753
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2754
Meinel)
2755
2756
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2757
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2758
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2759
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2760
2761
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2762
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
2763
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
2764
2765
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
2766
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
2767
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
2768
2769
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2770
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2771
2772
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2773
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2774
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2775
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2776
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2777
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2778
(Ian Clatworthy)
2779
2780
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2781
(Alexander Belchenko)
2782
2783
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2784
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2785
2786
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2787
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2788
2789
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2790
2791
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2792
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2793
2794
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2795
2796
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2797
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2798
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2799
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2800
2801
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2802
2803
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2804
(Robert Collins)
2805
2806
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2807
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2808
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2809
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2810
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2811
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2812
2813
INTERNALS:
2814
2815
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2816
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2817
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2818
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2819
2820
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2821
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2822
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2823
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2824
tests have been refactored too.
2825
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2826
2827
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2828
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2829
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2830
list, it will.
2831
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2832
2833
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2834
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2835
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2836
2837
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2838
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2839
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2840
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2841
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2842
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2843
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2844
2845
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2846
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2847
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2848
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2849
(John Arbash Meinel)
2850
2851
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2852
functionality for testing.
2853
2854
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2855
2856
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2857
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2858
2859
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2860
2861
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2862
(Robert Collins)
2863
2864
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2865
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2866
2867
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2868
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2869
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2870
2871
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2872
(Aaron Bentley)
2873
2874
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2875
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2876
2877
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2878
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2879
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2880
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2881
2882
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2883
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2884
2885
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2886
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2887
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2888
2889
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2890
(Marius Kruger)
2891
2892
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2893
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2894
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2895
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2896
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
2897
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2898
2899
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
2900
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
2901
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
2902
many files. (Robert Collins)
2903
2904
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
2905
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
2906
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
2907
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
2908
2909
TESTING:
2910
2911
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
2912
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
2913
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
2914
2915
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
2916
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
2917
2918
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
2919
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
2920
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
2937
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
2938
2939
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
2940

2941
(James Westby, #122656)
2942

2962
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
2963
2964

2965
individually and as part of revision ranges.
2966
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
2967
2968
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
2969
(Martin Pool, #109169)
2970
2971
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
2972
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
2973
2974
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
2975
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
2976
2977
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2978
2979
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
2980
2981
IMPROVEMENTS:
2982
2983
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
2984
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
2985
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
2986
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
2987
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
2988
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
2989
2990
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
2991
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
2992
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
2993
2994
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
2995
(Elliot Murphy)
2996
2997
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
2998
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
2999
3000
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
3001
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
3002
3003
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
3004
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
3005
3006
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3007
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3008
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3009
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3010
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3011
3012
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3013
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3014
3015
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3016
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3017
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3018
3019
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3020
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
3021
3022
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
3023
3024
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
3025
output. (Aaron Bentley)
3026
3027
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
3028
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
3029
(Robert Collins)
3030
3031
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
3032
(Martin Pool)
3033
3034
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
3035
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
3036
3037
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
3038
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
3039
3040
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
3041
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
3042
3043
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
3044
3045
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3046
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
3047
3048
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.

3051
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3052
3053
* Testing cleanups -
3054
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3055
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
3056
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3057
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
3058
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3059
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
3060
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3061
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
3062
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3063
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
3064
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
3065
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
3066
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3067
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
3068
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3069
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3070
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
3071
(Robert Collins)
3072
3073
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3074
3075
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3076
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3077
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3078
3079
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3080
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3081
3082
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3083
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3084
3085
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3086
3087
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3088
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3089
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3090
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3091
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3092
same location. (Robert Collins)
3093
3094
INTERNALS:
3095
3096
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3097
3098
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3099
3100
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3101
3102
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3103
(Martin Pool)
3104
3105
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3106
(Martin Pool)
3107
3108
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3109
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3110
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3111
3112
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3113
3114
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3115
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3116
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3117
3118
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3119
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3120
3121
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3122
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3123
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3124
3125
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3126
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3127
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3128
3129
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3130
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3131
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3132
3133
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3134
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3135
Martin Pool)
3136
3137
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3138
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3139
3140
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3141
(Alexander Belchenko)
3142
3143
TESTING:
3144
3145
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3146
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3147
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3148
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3149
3150
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3151
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3152
testing. (Robert Collins)
3153
3154
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3155
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3156
3157
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3158
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3159
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3160
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3161
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3162
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3163
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3164
3165
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3166
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3167
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3168
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3169
3170
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3171
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3172
3173
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3174
avoid useless cloning.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3194
3195
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3196
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3197
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3198
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3199
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3200
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3201
and unlock() like so::
3202
3203
work_tree.lock_read()
3204
try:
3205
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3206
finally:
3207
work_tree.unlock()
3208
3209
INTERNALS:
3210
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3211
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3212
object.
3213
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3214
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3215
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3216
3217
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3218
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3219
too. (Robert Collins)
3220
3221
IMPROVEMENTS:
3222
3223
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3224
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3225
Aaron Bentley)
3226
3227
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3228
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3229
3230
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
3231
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3232
3233
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3234
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3235
understanding what changes have occurred
3236
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3237
3238
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3239
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3240
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3241
3242
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3243
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3244
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3245
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)

* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3248
#56322)
3249
3250
BUGFIXES:
3251
3252
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3253
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3254
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3255
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3256
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3257
3258
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3259
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3260
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3261
3262
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3263
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3264
3265
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3266
into account.
3267
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3268
3269
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3270
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3271
3272
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3273
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3274
3275
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3276
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3277
3278
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3279
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3280
3281
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3282
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3283
3284
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3285
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3286
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
3289
--------------------
3290
3291
BUGFIXES:
3292
3293
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3294
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3295
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3296
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3297
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3298
3299
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3300
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3301
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3302
3303
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3304
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3305
3306
IMPROVEMENTS:
3307
3308
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3309
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3310
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3311
3312
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3313
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3314
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3315
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
3316
3317

3318
-----------------------
3319
3320
BUGFIXES:
3321
3322
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
3323
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
3324
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
3325
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
3326
3327
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
3328
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
3329
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
3330
3331
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
3332
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
3333
3334
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
3335
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
3336
3337
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
3338
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
3339
3340
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
3341
-----------------------
3342
3343
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3344
3345
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
3346
it could be recovered again.
3347
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
3348
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
3349
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
3350
but not delete it.
3351
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
3352
files.
3353
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
3354
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
3355
3356
IMPROVEMENTS:
3357
3358
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
3359
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
3360
3361
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
3362
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
3363
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
3364
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
3365
3366
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
3367
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
3368
3369
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
3370
tests with names that match that regular expression.
3371
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
3372
3373
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
3374
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
3375
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
3376
3377
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
3378
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
3379
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
3380
3381
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
3382
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
3383
Robert Collins)
3384
3385
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
3386
Pool)
3387
3388
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
3389
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
3390
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
3391
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
3392
3393
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
3394
(Robert Collins)
3395
3396
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
3397
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
3398
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
3399
(Robert Collins)
3400
3401
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
3402
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
3403
3404
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
3405
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
3406
3407
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
3408
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
3409
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
3410
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
3411
(Robert Collins)
3412
3413
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
3414
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
3415
3416
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
3417
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3418
3419
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
3420
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
3421
(Robert Collins, #107125).
3422
3423
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
3424
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
3425
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
3426
3427
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
3428
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
3429
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3430
3431
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
3432
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
3433
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
3434
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
3435
3436
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
3437
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
3438
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
3439
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
3440
3441
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
3442
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
3443
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
3444
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
3445
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
3446
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
3447
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
3448
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
3449
header(s).
3450
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3451
3452
INTERNALS:
3453
3454
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
3455
code paths. (Robert Collins)
3456
3457
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
3458
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
3459
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
3460
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
3461
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3462
3463
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
3464
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
3465
3466
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
3467
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
3468
3469
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
3470
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
3471
3472
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
3473
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
3474
3475
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
3476
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
3477
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
3478
(Robert Collins).
3479
3480
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
3481
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
3482
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
3483
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
3484
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
3485
(Robert Collins)
3486
3487
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
3488
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
3489
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
3490
3491
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
3492
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
3493
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3494
3495
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
3496
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
3497
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
3498
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3499
3500
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
3501
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
3502
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
3503
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
3504
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
3505
3506
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
3507
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
3508
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
3509
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3510
3511
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
3512
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3513
3514
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
3515
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
3516
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
3517
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
3518
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
3519
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
3520
3521
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
3522
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
3523
3524
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
3525
help. (Robert Collins)
3526
3527
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
3528
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3529
3530
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
3531
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
3532
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
3533
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
3534
(John Arbash Meinel)
3535
3536
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
3537
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
3538
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
3539
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
3540
useful. (Robert Collins)
3541
3542
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
3543
(Andrew Bennetts)
3544
3545
BUGFIXES:
3546
3547
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
3548
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
3549
3550
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
3551
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
3552
3553
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
3554
properly and is no longer beneficial.
3555
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
3556
3557
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
3558
(Aaron Bentley)
3559
3560
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
3561
the file, and does it faster.
3562
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
3563
3564
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
3565
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
3566
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
3567
3568
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
3569
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
3570
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
3571
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
3572
3573
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
3574
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
3575
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
3576
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
3577
3578
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
3579
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
3580
3581
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
3582
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
3583
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
3584
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
3585
Arbash Meinel)
3586
3587
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
3588
3589
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
3590
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
3591
3592
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
3593
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
3594
3595
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
3596
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
3597
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
3598
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
3599
security hole.
3600
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3601
3602
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3603
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3604
3605
TESTING:
3606
3607
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3608
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3609
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3610
3611
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3612
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3613
3614
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3615
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3616
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3617
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3618
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3619
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3620
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3621
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3622
3623
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3624
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3625
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3626
3627
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3628
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3629
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
3630
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
3631
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3632
access.
3633
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3634
3635
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3636
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3637
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3638
3639
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3640
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
3659
3660
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
3661
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
3662
(Martin Pool)
3663
3664
IMPROVEMENTS:
3665
3666
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3667
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3668
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3669
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3670
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3671
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3672
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3673
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3674
path. (vila)
3675
3676
INTERNALS:
3677
3678
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3679
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3680
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3681
3682
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3683
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3684
(Martin Pool)
3685
3686
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3687
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).

* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3691
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3692
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3693
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3694
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3695
3696
BUGFIXES:
3697
3698
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3699
(vila, #92195)
3700
3701
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3702
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3703
3704
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3705
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3706
3707
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3708
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3709
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3710
3711
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3712
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3713
3714
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3715
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3716
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3717
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3718
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3719
3720
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3721
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3722
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3723
3724
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
3728
-----------------------
3729
3730
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3731
3732
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3733
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3734
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3735
3736
IMPROVEMENTS:
3737
3738
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3739
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3740
3741
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3742
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3743
3744
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3745
3746
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3747
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3748
3749
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3750
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3751
3752
INTERNALS:
3753
3754
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3755
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
3756
3757
BUGFIXES:
3758
3759
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3760
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3761
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3762
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3763
3764
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3765
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3766
3767
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3768
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3769
3770
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3771
(Marien Zwart)
3772
3773
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

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

3951
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
3952
3953
BUGFIXES:
3954
3955
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
3956
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
3957
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
3958
3959
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
3960
(Aaron Bentley)
3961
3962
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
3963
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
3964
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
3965
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
3966
3967
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
3968
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
3969
#83954).
3970
3971
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
3972
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
3973
3974
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
3975
3976
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
3977
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
3978
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
3979
3980
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
3981
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
3982
3983
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
3984
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
3985
3986
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
3987
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
3988
3989
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
3990
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
3991
3992
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
3993

* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
3995
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
3996
3997
TESTING:
3998
3999

4006
IMPROVEMENTS:

4008
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)

4010
BUG FIXES:
4011
4012
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4013
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4014
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4015
4016
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
4017
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
4018
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

4021
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
4022
-----------------------
4023
4024
IMPROVEMENTS:
4025
4026
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
4027
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
4028
server, then you can write over the http connection.
4029
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4030
4031
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
4032
(Marius Kruger)
4033
4034
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
4035
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
4036
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4037
4038
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
4039
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
4040
4041
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
4042
(Aaron Bentley)
4043
4044
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
4045
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
4046
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
4047
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
4048
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
4049
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
4050
4051
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
4052
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
4053
should enable you to do::
4054
4055
[/home/user/project]
4056
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
4057
push_location:policy = appendpath
4058
4059
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
4060
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
4061
(James Henstridge)
4062
4063
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
4064
for each file. For example::
4065
4066
$ bzr status --short
4067
A foo
4068
A bar
4069
D baz
4070
? wooley
4071
4072
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
4073
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
4074
4075
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
4076
4077
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
4078
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
4079
4080
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
4081
4082
INTERNALS:
4083
4084
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
4085
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
4086
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
4087
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
4088
4089
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
4090
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
4091
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
4092
4093
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4094
4095
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
4096
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
4097
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
4098
(Alexander Belchenko)
4099
4100
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
4101
Pool)
4102
4103
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
4104
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
4105
4106
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
4107
4108
BUG FIXES:
4109
4110
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
4111
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
4112
4113
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
4114
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
4115
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
4116
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
4117
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
4118
4119
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
4120
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
4121
4122
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
4123
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4124
4125
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4126
matcher.
4127
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4128
4129
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4130
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4131
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4132
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4133
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4134
4135
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4136
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4137
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4138
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4139
4140
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4141
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4142
4143
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4144
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)

4161
IMPROVEMENTS:
4162
4163
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4164
tree from a branch.
4165
(Daniel Silverstone)
4166
4167
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4168
operations are substantially faster.
4169
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4170
4171
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4172
tree from some other url. For example:
4173
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4174
(Daniel Silverstone)
4175
4176
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4177
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4178
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4179
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4180
4181
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4182
(Andrew Bennetts)
4183
4184
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4185
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4186
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4187
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4188
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
4189
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4190
4191
INTERNALS:
4192
4193
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4194
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4195
(Martin Pool)
4196
4197
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4198
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4199
(John Arbash Meinel)
4200
4201
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4202
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4203
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4204
(John Arbash Meinel)
4205
4206
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4207
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4208
4209
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4210
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4211
4212
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4213
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4214
Bennetts)
4215
4216
BUG FIXES:
4217
4218
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4219
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4220
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4221
4222
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4223
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4224
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4225
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4226
4227
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4228
4229
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4230
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4231
4232
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4233
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4234
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4235
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4236
4237
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4238
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4239
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4240
4241
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4242
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4243
them as full references rather than integers.
4244
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4245
4246
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4247
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4248
4249
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4250
4251
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4252
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4253
4254
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4255
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4256
4257
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4258
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4259
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4260
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4261
4262
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4263
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4264
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4265
4266
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4267
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4268
4269
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4270
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4271
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4272
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4273
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4274
4275
TESTING:
4276
4277
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4278
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
4279

bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
4281
--------------------
4282
4283
INTERNALS:
4284
4285
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4286
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4287
(John Arbash Meinel)
4288
4289
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
4290
-----------------------
4291
4292
IMPROVEMENTS:
4293
4294
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4295
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4296
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4297
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4298
4299
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4300
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4301
4302
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4303
4304
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4305
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4306
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4307
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4308
4309
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4310
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4311
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4312
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4313
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4314
4315
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4316
4317
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4318
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4319
4320
INTERNALS:
4321
4322
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4323
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4324
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4325
4326
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4327
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4328
(John Arbash Meinel)
4329
4330
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4331
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4332
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4333
4334
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4335
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4336
(Aaron Bentley)
4337
4338
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4339
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4340
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4341
4342
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4343
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4344
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4345
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4346
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4347
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4348
4349
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4350
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4351
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4352
(Robert Collins)
4353
4354
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4355
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4356
4357
BUG FIXES:
4358
4359
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4360
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4361
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4362
#63360, #66349)
4363
4364
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4365
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
4366
4367
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4368
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4369
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4370
4371
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4372
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4373
4374
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4375
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4376
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4377
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4378
4379
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4380
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4381
4382
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4383
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4384
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4385
4386
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4387
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4388
4389
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4390
4391
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4392
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4393
#32054)
4394
4395
TESTING:
4396
4397
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4398
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4399
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4400
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4401
4402
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4403
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4404
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4405
4406
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

BUG FIXES:
4415
4416
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
4417
4418
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
4419
Arbash Meinel).
4420
4421
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
4422
-----------------------
4423
4424
IMPROVEMENTS:
4425
4426
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
4427
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
4428
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
4429
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
4430
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
4431
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
4432
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
4433
4434
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
4435
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
4436
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
4437
4438
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
4439
4440
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
4441
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
4442
4443
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
4444
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
4445
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
4446
(Robert Collins)
4447
4448
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
4449
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
4450
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
4451
(John Arbash Meinel)
4452
4453
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
4454
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
4455
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
4456
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
4457
Pool)
4458
4459
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
4460
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
4461
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
4462
(John Arbash Meinel)
4463
4464
BUG FIXES:
4465
4466
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
4467
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
4468
4469
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
4470
4471
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
4472
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
4473
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
4474
4475
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
4476
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
4477
4478
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
4479
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
4480
4481
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
4482
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
4483
4484
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
4485
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
4486
4487
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
4488
4489
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
4490
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
4491
4492
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
4493
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
4494
4495
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
4496
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
4497
4498
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
4499
(John Arbash Meinel)
4500
4501
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
4502
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
4503
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
4504
4505
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
4506
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4507
4508
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
4509
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
4510
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
4511
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
4512
4513
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
4514
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
4515
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
4516
4517
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
4518
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
4519
4520
PORTABILITY:
4521
4522
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
4523
4524
INTERNALS:
4525
4526
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
4527
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
4528
(John Arbash Meinel)
4529
4530
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
4531
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
4532
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
4533
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4534
4535
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
4536
(Andrew Bennetts)
4537
4538
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
4539
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
4540
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
4541
4542
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
4543
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
4544
4545
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
4546
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
4547
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
4548
4549
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
4550
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
4551
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
4552
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
4553
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
4554
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
4555
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
4556
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
4557
caller to repeat their request.
4558
(John Arbash Meinel)
4559
4560
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
4561
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
4562
4563
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
4564
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
4565
4566
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
4567
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
4568
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
4569
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
4570
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
4571
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
4572
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
4573
4574
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
4575
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
4576
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
4577
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
4578
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
4579
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
4580
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
4581
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
4582
(Robert Collins)
4583
4584
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
4585
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
4586
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
4587
4588
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
4589
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
4590
4591
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
4592
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
4593
4594
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
4595
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4596
4597
TESTING:
4598
4599
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
4600
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
4601
4602
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
4603
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
4604
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4605
4606
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
4607
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
4608
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4609
4610
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
4611
--------------------
4612
4613
IMPROVEMENTS:
4614
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
4615
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4616
4617
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
4618
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
4619
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
4620
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
4621
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
4622
4623
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
4624
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
4625
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
4626
4627
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
4628
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
4629
4630
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
4631
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
4632
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4633
4634
BUG FIXES:
4635
4636
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
4637
4638
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
4639
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
4640
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
4641
4642
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
4643
4644
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
4645
4646
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
4647
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
4648
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
4649
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
4650
4651
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
4652
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
4653
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
4654
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
4655
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
4656
4657
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
4658
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
4659
4660
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
4661
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
4662
4663
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
4664
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
4665
4666
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
4667
in handling of revision properties.
4668
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
4669
4670
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
4671
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
4672
4673
INTERNALS:
4674
4675
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
4676
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
4677
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
4678
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
4679
(John Arbash Meinel)
4680
4681
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
4682
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
4683
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4684
4685
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4686
---------------------
4687
4688
SURPRISES:
4689
4690
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
4691
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
4692
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
4693
specific one '.bzrignore'.
4694
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
4695
a more conservative list than the old default.
4696
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
4697
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
4698
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
4699
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
4700
4701
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4702
to more locations than just branch locations.
4703
(Aaron Bentley)
4704
4705
IMPROVEMENTS:
4706
4707
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
4708
revno:N:branch. For example,
4709
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
4710
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4711
4712
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
4713
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
4714
the path of a file that has been versioned.
4715
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
4716
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
4717
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
4718
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
4719
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
4720
#42517, #42514)
4721
4722
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
4723
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
4724
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
4725
(Malone #3507)
4726
4727
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
4728
(Alexander Belchenko)
4729
4730
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
4731
4732
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
4733
(Robert Collins).
4734
4735
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
4736
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
4737
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
4738
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
4739
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
4740
(John Arbash Meinel)
4741
4742
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
4743
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
4744
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
4745
grained analysis of performance.
4746
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4747
4748
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
4749
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
4750
4751
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
4752
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
4753
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
4754
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
4755
file. (Robert Collins).
4756
4757
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
4758
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
4759
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
4760
4761
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
4762
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
4763
Matthieu Moy)
4764
4765
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
4766
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
4767
4768
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
4769
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
4770
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
4771
the same way you would apply another branch.
4772
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4773
4774
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
4775
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
4776
4777
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
4778
(Michael Ellerman)
4779
4780
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
4781
(Aaron Bentley)
4782
4783
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
4784
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
4785
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
4786
4787
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
4788
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
4789
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
4790
4791
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
4792
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
4793
4794
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
4795
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
4796
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
4797
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
4798
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
4799
4800
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
4801
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
4802
4803
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
4804
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
4805
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
4806
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
4807
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
4808
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
4809
branch is as much as 4x faster.
4810
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
4811
4812
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
4813
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
4814
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
4815
4816
BUG FIXES:
4817
4818
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4819
tests not to run.
4820
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4821
4822
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4823
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4824
4825
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4826
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4827
4828
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4829
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4830
4831
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4832
4833
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4834
(John Arbash Meinel)
4835
4836
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4837
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4838
4839
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4840
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4841
and y.
4842
4843
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4844
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4845
4846
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4847
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4848
4849
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4850
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4851
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4852
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4853
4854
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4855
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4856
4857
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4858
4859
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4860
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4861
4862
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4863
4864
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4865
4866
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4867
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4868
4869
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4870
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4871
4872
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4873
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4874
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4875
4876
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4877
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4878
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4879
4880
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4881
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4882
4883
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4884
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4885
4886
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4887
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4888
4889
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4890
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4891
4892
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4893
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
4894
4895
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
4896
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
4897
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
4898
4899
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
4900
4901
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
4902
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
4903
4904
INTERNALS:
4905
4906
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
4907
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
4908
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
4909
4910
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
4911
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
4912
4913
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
4914
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
4915
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4916
4917
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
4918
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4919
4920
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
4921
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
4922
(Martin Pool)
4923
4924
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
4925
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
4926
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4927
4928
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
4929
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
4930
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4931
4932
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
4933
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
4934
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
4935
4936
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
4937
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
4938
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
4939
4940
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
4941
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
4942
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
4943
4944
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
4945
instead. (Robert Collins)
4946
4947
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

4957
---------------------
4958
4959
BUG FIXES:
4960
4961
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
4962
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
4963
4964
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
4965
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4966
4967
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
4968
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
4969
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
4970
4971
CHANGES:
4972
4973
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
4974
4975
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
4976
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
4977
4978
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
4979
4980
CHANGES:
4981
4982
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
4983
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
4984
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
4985
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
4986
4987
NEW FEATURES:
4988
4989
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
4990
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
4991
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
4992
4993
INTERNALS:
4994
4995
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
4996
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
4997
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4998
4999
TESTING:
5000
5001
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
5002
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
5003
5004
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
5005
-------------------
5006
5007
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5008
5009
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
5010
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
5011
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
5012
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
5013
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
5014
will keep the same format.
5015
5016
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
5017
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
5018
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
5019
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
5020
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
5021
5022
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
5023
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
5024
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
5025
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
5026
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
5027
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
5028
indicating the current revision of the branch.
5029
5030
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
5031
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
5032
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
5033
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
5034
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
5035
5036
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
5037
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
5038
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
5039
arrangement.
5040
5041
5042
IMPROVEMENTS:
5043
5044
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
5045
convention. Paths now take the form::
5046
5047
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
5048
or
5049
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
5050
5051
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
5052
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
5053
5054
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
5055
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
5056
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
5057
5058
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
5059
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
5060
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
5061
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
5062
5063
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
5064
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
5065
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
5066
5067
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
5068
5069
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
5070
5071
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
5072
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
5073
commits::
5074
5075
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
5076
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
5077
| xargs bzr re-sign
5078
5079
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
5080
5081
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
5082
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
5083
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
5084
(Robert Collins)
5085
5086
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
5087
5088
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
5089
5090
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
5091
'.moved'.
5092
5093
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
5094
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
5095
5096
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
5097
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
5098
Daniel Silverstone)
5099
5100
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
5101
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
5102
Martin Pool)
5103
5104
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
5105
5106
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
5107
5108
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
5109
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
5110
5111
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
5112
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
5113
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
5114
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
5115
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
5116
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
5117
5118
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
5119
5120
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
5121
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
5122
(Robert Collins)
5123
5124
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
5125
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
5126
5127
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
5128
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
5129
5130
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
5131
5132
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
5133
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
5134
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
5135
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
5136
specification by Martin Pool.
5137
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
5138
5139
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
5140
Belchenko)
5141
5142
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
5143
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5144
5145
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
5146
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
5147
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
5148
5149
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
5150
5151
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
5152
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
5153
(Robert Collins)
5154
5155
CHANGES:
5156
5157
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
5158
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5159
5160
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
5161
5162
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
5163
5164
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
5165
(Olaf Conradi)
5166
5167
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
5168
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
5169
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
5170
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
5171
5172
INTERNALS:
5173
5174
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
5175
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
5176
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
5177
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5178
5179
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
5180
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
5181
tried. (Martin Pool)
5182
5183
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
5184
(Martin Pool)
5185
5186
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
5187
5188
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
5189
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
5190
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
5191
5192
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
5193
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5194
5195
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5196
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5197
paths. (Robert Collins)
5198
5199
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5200
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5201
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5202
5203
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5204
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5205
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5206
5207
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5208
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5209
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5210
5211
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5212
(Olaf Conradi)
5213
5214
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5215
(Olaf Conradi)
5216
5217
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5218
5219
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5220
5221
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5222
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5223
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5224
(Robert Collins)
5225
5226
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5227
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5228
5229
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5230
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5231
check. (Robert Collins)
5232
5233
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5234
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5235
5236
TESTING:
5237
5238
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5239
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5240
5241
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5242
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5243
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5244
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5245
5246
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5247
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5248
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5249
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5250
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5251
5252
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5253
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5254
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5255
5256
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5257
5258
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5259
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
5260
5261
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
5262
------------------
5263
5264
CHANGES:
5265
5266
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5267
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5268
5269
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5270
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5271
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5272
(Johan Rydberg)
5273
5274
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5275
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5276
5277
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5278
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5279
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5280
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5281
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5282
5283
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5284
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5285
used. (Robert Collins)
5286
5287
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5288
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5289
(James Henstridge)
5290
5291
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5292
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5293
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5294
5295
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5296
ignore list.
5297
5298
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5299
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
5300
5301
IMPROVEMENTS:
5302
5303
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5304
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5305
5306
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5307
5308
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5309
5310
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5311
tree. (Robert Collins)
5312
5313
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
5314
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
5315
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
5316
(Robert Collins)
5317
5318
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
5319
that they be kept.
5320
5321
* Tweaks to short log printing
5322
5323
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
5324
(Aaron Bentley)
5325
5326
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
5327
occurs. (Martin Pool)
5328
5329
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
5330
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
5331
5332
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
5333
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5334
5335
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5336
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5337
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5338
5339
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5340
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5341
5342
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5343
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5344
requests.
5345
5346
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5347
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5348
5349
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5350
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5351
5352
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5353
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5354
5355
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5356
(Denys Duchier)
5357
5358
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5359
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5360
5361
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5362
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5363
5364
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5365
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5366
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
5367
5368
BUG FIXES:
5369
5370
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
5371
5372
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5373
5374
* Error when run with -OO
5375
5376
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
5377
(Martin Pool)
5378
5379
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5380
5381
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5382
5383
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5384
ignored by diff and status
5385
5386
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5387
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5388
5389
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5390
5391
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5392
5393
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5394
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5395
5396
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5397
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5398
5399
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5400
(Harald Meland)
5401
5402
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5403
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5404
5405
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5406
5407
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5408
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5409
5410
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5411
(Martin Pool)
5412
5413
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5414
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5415
5416
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5417
5418
TESTING:
5419
5420
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5421
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5422
5423
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5424
5425
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5426
5427
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5428
5429
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5430
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5431
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5432
5433
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5434
5435
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5436
(John Arbash Meinel)
5437
5438
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5439
5440
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5441
If adding a new test script please add that to
5442
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5443
5444
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5445
imported. (Martin Pool)
5446
5447
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5448
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5449
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5450
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5451
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5452
(Robert Collins)
5453
5454
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5455
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5456
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5457
5458
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5459
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5460
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5461
5462
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5463
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5464
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5465
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5466
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5467
(Robert Collins).
5468
5469
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5470
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5471
(Robert Collins).
5472
5473
INTERNALS:
5474
5475
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5476
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5477
5478
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5479
function. (Robert Collins)
5480
5481
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5482
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5483
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5484
5485
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5486
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5487
(Robert Collins)
5488
5489
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5490
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5491
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5492
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5493
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5494
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5495
version. (Robert Collins)
5496
5497
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5498
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5499
5500
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5501
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5502
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5503
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5504
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5505
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5506
5507
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5508
(Robert Collins)
5509
5510
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5511
5512
add()
5513
commit()
5514
move()
5515
rename_one()
5516
unknowns()
5517
5518
(Robert Collins)
5519
5520
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5521
5522
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5523
5524
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5525
Pool)
5526
5527
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5528
query method. (Robert Collins)
5529
5530
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5531
(Denys Duchier)
5532
5533
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5534
(Michael Ellerman)
5535
5536
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5537
(Michael Ellerman)
5538
5539
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5540
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5541
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5542
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5543
5544
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5545
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5546
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5547
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5548
5549
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5550
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
5551

------------------
5554
5555
IMPROVEMENTS:
5556
5557
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
5558
(John A Meinel)
5559
5560
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
5561
conflicts.
5562
(Aaron Bentley)
5563
5564
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
5565
a separator, not ':'.
5566
(Aaron Bentley)
5567
5568
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
5569
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
5570
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
5571
5572
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
5573
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
5574
(Robert Collins)
5575
5576
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
5577
has been added that suppresses all output.
5578
5579
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
5580
Adams.
5581
5582
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
5583
Goffredo Baroncelli.
5584
5585
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
5586
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
5587
5588
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
5589
a revision. (Robert Collins)
5590
5591
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
5592
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
5593
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
5594
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
5595
5596
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
5597
5598
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
5599
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
5600
5601
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
5602
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
5603
5604
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
5605
output directory, if one was supplied.
5606
5607
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
5608
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
5609
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
5610
parameters. (Robert Collins)
5611
5612
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
5613
5614
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
5615
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
5616
5617
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
5618
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
5619
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
5620
5621
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
5622
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
5623
5624
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
5625
(Aaron Bentley)
5626
5627
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
5628
5629
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
5630
5631
TESTING:
5632
5633
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
5634
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
5635
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
5636
5637
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
5638
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
5639
related questions. (Robert Collins)
5640
5641
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
5642
is given. (Martin Pool)
5643
5644
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
5645
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
5646
file. (Robert Collins)
5647
5648
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
5649
(Martin Pool)
5650
5651
INTERNALS:
5652
5653
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
5654
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
5655
representation. (Martin Pool).
5656
5657
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
5658
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
5659
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
5660
5661
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5662
(Robert Collins)
5663
5664
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
5665
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
5666
Magnus Therning.
5667
5668
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5669
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
5670
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5671
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5672
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5673
5674
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5675
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5676
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5677
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5678
python path. (Robert Collins)
5679
5680
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5681
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5682
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5683
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5684
5685
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5686
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5687
5688
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5689
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5690
(Robert Collins)
5691
5692
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5693
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5694
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5695
5696
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5697
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5698
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5699
5700
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5701
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5702
5703
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5704
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5705
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5706
(Robert Collins)
5707
5708
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5709
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5710
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5711
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5712
(Robert Collins)
5713
5714
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5715
(Robert Collins)
5716
5717
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5718
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5719
(Robert Collins)
5720
5721
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
5722
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
5723
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
5724
5725
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
5726
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
5727
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
5728
5729
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
5730
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
5731
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
5732
5733
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5734
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5735
5736
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
5737
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
5738
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
5739
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
5740
caller. (Robert Collins)
5741
5742
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
5743
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
5744
(Robert Collins).
5745
5746
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
5747
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
5748
(Aaron Bentley)
5749
5750
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
5751
5752
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
5753
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
5754
5755
BUG FIXES:
5756
5757
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
5758
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
5759
5760
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
5761
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
5762
5763
5764
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
5765
--------------------
5766
5767
BUG FIXES:
5768
5769
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
5770
allow directories to be listed.
5771
5772
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
5773
upgrading branch format.
5774
5775
PERFORMANCE:
5776
5777
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
5778
5779
5780
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
5781
------------------
5782
5783
NOTES:
5784
5785
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
5786
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
5787
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
5788
high-latency connections.
5789
5790
BUG FIXES:
5791
5792
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
5793
Rob Weir.
5794
5795
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
5796
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
5797
5798
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
5799
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
5800
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
5801
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5802
5803
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5804
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5805
5806
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5807
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5808
5809
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
5810
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
5811
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5812
5813
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
5814
for files with only a change to their executable status.
5815
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
5816
Robert Collins
5817
5818
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5819
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5820
5821
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5822
different partial views of history.
5823
5824
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5825
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5826
5827
IMPROVEMENTS:
5828
5829
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5830
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5831
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5832
5833
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5834
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5835
'bzr upgrade'.
5836
5837
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5838
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5839
5840
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5841
Niemeyer.
5842
5843
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5844
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5845
5846
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5847
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5848
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5849
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5850
5851
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5852
5853
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5854
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5855
Gustavo Niemeyer.
5856
5857
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5858
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5859
5860
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5861
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5862
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5863
5864
5865
INTERNALS:
5866
5867
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5868
for your viewing pleasure.
5869
5870
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5871
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5872
5873
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5874
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5875
handling of such circumstances.
5876
5877
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
5878
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
5879
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
5880
5881
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5882
5883
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5884
we call them revisions not patches.
5885
5886
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5887
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5888
5889
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
5890
giving the revision *of that file*.
5891
5892
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
5893
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
5894
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
5895
5896
TESTING:
5897
5898
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
5899
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
5900
5901
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
5902
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
5903
5904
5905
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
5906
--------------------
5907
5908
BUG FIXES:
5909
5910
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
5911
5912
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
5913
(Robert Collins).
5914
5915
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
5916
5917
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
5918
5919
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
5920
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5921
5922
IMPROVEMENTS:
5923
5924
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
5925
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
5926
5927
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
5928
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
5929
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
5930
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
5931
Robey Pointer
5932
5933
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
5934
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5935
5936
INTERNALS:
5937
5938
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
5939
5940
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
5941
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
5942
5943
5944
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
5945
--------------------
5946
5947
IMPROVEMENTS:
5948
5949
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
5950
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
5951
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
5952
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
5953
Michael Ellerman.
5954
5955
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
5956
(Nir Soffer)
5957
5958
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
5959
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
5960
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
5961
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
5962
for the operating system is still tried.
5963
5964
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
5965
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
5966
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
5967
5968
5969
INTERNALS:
5970
5971
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
5972
5973
BUG FIXES:
5974
5975
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
5976
5977
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
5978
branch.
5979
5980
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
5981
read.
5982
5983
5984
PORTABILITY:
5985
5986
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
5987
5988
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.

5990
5991
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
5992
--------------------
5993
5994
NEW FEATURES:
5995
5996
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
5997
help with intelligent shell completion.
5998
5999
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
6000
6001
6002
ENHANCEMENTS:
6003
6004
* Much better merge support.
6005
6006
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
6007
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
6008
like emacs smerge.
6009
6010
6011
BUG FIXES:
6012
6013
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
6014
mention revisions that are not present.
6015
6016
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
6017
6018
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
6019
6020
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
6021
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
6022
6023
6024
CHANGES:
6025
6026
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
6027
6028
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
6029
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
6030
--help themselves.
6031
6032
6033
LIBRARY:
6034
6035
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
6036
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
6037
libraries.

bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
6042
--------------------
6043
6044
NEW FEATURES:
6045
6046
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
6047
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
6048
6049
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
6050
6051
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
6052
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
6053
6054
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
6055
FOO.
6056
6057
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
6058
6059
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
6060
the Unix command.
6061
6062
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
6063
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
6064
6065
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
6066
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
6067
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
6068
6069
6070
ENHANCEMENTS:
6071
6072
* Faster working tree operations.
6073
6074
6075
CHANGES:
6076
6077
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
6078
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
6079
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
6080
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
6081
6082
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
6083
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
6084
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
6085
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
6086
standard plugins directory.
6087
6088
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
6089
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
6090
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
6091
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
6092
6093
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
6094
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
6095
6096
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
6097
disk.
6098
6099
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
6100
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
6101
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
6102
6103
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
6104
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
6105
6106
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
6107
line options must come before the command name because they
6108
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
6109
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
6110
it.
6111
6112
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
6113
6114
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
6115
is available with ``--short``.
6116
6117
6118
BUG FIXES:
6119
6120
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
6121
6122
6123
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
6124
---------------------
6125
6126
CHANGES:
6127
6128
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
6129
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6130
6131
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
6132
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
6133
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
6134
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
6135
6136
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
6137
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
6138
with the ``--forward`` option.
6139
6140
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
6141
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
6142
field.
6143
6144
6145
ENHANCEMENTS:
6146
6147
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6148
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
6149
6150
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
6151
6152
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
6153
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
6154
6155
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
6156
6157
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
6158
either read or write mode.
6159
6160
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
6161
6162
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
6163
affected that file.
6164
6165
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
6166
6167
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
6168
suggested by LarstiQ.
6169
6170
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
6171
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
6172
6173
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
6174
a filename.
6175
6176
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
6177
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
6178
6179
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
6180
haven't changed since the previous time.
6181
6182
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
6183
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
6184
6185
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
6186
6187
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
6188
6189
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
6190
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
6191
6192
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
6193
options through to an external GNU diff.
6194
6195
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
6196
their contents.
6197
6198
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
6199
from a branch.
6200
6201
6202
BUG FIXES:
6203
6204
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
6205
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
6206
6207
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
6208
metacharacters.
6209
6210
6211
TESTING:
6212
6213
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
6214
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
6215
the tests.
6216
6217
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
6218
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
6219
6220
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
6221
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
6222
6223
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
6224
under a different version.
6225
6226
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
6227
6228
6229
INTERNAL:
6230
6231
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
6232
6233
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
6234
Scott James Remnant.
6235
6236
* Better help messages for many commands.
6237
6238
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
6239
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
6240
6241
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
6242
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
6243
6244
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
6245
6246
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
6247
6248
* New AtomicFile class.
6249
6250
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
6251
6252
6253
PORTABILITY:
6254
6255
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
6256
2.4 is now only recommended.
6257
6258
6259
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
6260
---------------------
6261
6262
ENHANCEMENTS:
6263
6264
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
6265
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
6266
6267
* More default ignore patterns.
6268
6269
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
6270
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
6271
6272
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
6273
6274
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
6275
by Jason Diamon.
6276
6277
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
6278
6279
6280
CHANGES:
6281
6282
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
6283
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
6284
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
6285
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
6286
there are DNS problems.
6287
6288
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
6289
6290
6291
BUG FIXES:
6292
6293
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
6294
6295
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
6296
6297
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
6298
trailing newlines properly.
6299
6300
6301
INTERNAL:
6302
6303
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
6304
Matt Brubeck.
6305
6306
* More tests in test.sh.
6307
6308
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
6309
directory and delete it when done.
6310
6311
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
6312
6313
6314
PORTABILITY:
6315
6316
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
6317
Bennetts.
6318
6319
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
6320
from QuantumG.
6321
6322
6323
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
6324

6329
in the tree.
6330
6331

6332
6333
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
6334
and/or directory.
6335
6336
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
6337
directory.
6338
6339
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
6340
6341
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
6342
6343
CHANGES:
6344
6345
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
6346
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
6347
will do for now.)
6348
6349
PORTABILITY:
6350
6351
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
6352
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
6353
Nielsen.
6354
6355
INTERNAL:
6356
6357
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
6358
6359
TESTING:
6360

6373
-----------------------------------
6374
6375
ENHANCEMENTS:
6376
6377
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
6378
6379
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
6380
rather than replacing it.
6381
6382
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
6383
6384
* More help topics.
6385
6386
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
6387
branch.
6388
6389
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
6390
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
6391
6392
* Performance improvements.
6393
6394
* New global --profile option.
6395
6396
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
6397
the root directory only.
6398
6399
6400
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26
6401

* More information from info command.
6406
6407

6408
6409

6410
committing to stores.
6411
6412
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
6413
6414
BUG FIXES:
6415

6417
6418
PORTABILITY:
6419
6420
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
6421
installation easier.
6422
6423
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
6424
supported).
6425
6426
6427
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
6428
------------------------
6429
6430
ENHANCEMENTS:
6431
6432
* First public release.
