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
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
25
26
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
27
``bzr help push``. (Robert Collins)
28
29
IMPROVEMENTS:
30
31
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
32
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
33
(Martin Pool)
34
35
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
36
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
37
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
38
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
39
40
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
41
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
42
(Christophe Troestler)
43
44
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
45
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
46
47
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
48
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
49
faster. The new request method name is
50
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
51
52
BUG FIXES:
53
54
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
55
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
56
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
57
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
58
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
59
60
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
61
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
62
63
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
64
requires a branch to be present.
65
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
66
67
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
68
loaded.
69
(Martin Pool, #205230)
70
71
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
72
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
73
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
74
(Martin Pool, #240161)
75
76
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
77
name contains an @.
78
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
79
80
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
81
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
82
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
83
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
84
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
85
86
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
87
(Martin Pool, #172870)
88
89
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
90
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
91
92
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
93
Cygwin Bazaar.
94
(Matt McClure, #209281)
95
96
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
97
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
98
99
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
100
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
101
102
DOCUMENTATION:
103
104
* Updated developer documentation.
105
(Martin Pool)
106
107
TESTING:
108
109
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
110
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
111
112
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
113
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
114
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
115
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
116
117
API CHANGES:
118
119
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
120
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
121
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
122
Repository docstring for more details.
123
(Robert Collins)
124
125
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
126
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
127
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
128
129
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
130
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
131
(Daniel Watkins)
132
133
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
134
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
135
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
136
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
137
138
INTERNALS:
139
140
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
141
(Alexander Belchenko)
142
143
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
144
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
145
containing a given location.
146
(Daniel Watkins)
147
148
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
149
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
150
storage. (Robert Collins)
151
152
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
153
(Robert Collins)
154
155
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
156
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
157
(Robert Collins)
158
159
160
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
161
-----------------------
162
163
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
164
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
165
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
166
now faster.
167
168
BUG FIXES:
169
170
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
171
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
172
reading from the repository.)
173
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
174
175
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
176
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
177
178
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
179
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
180
(Andrew Bennetts)
181
182
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
183
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
184
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
185
186
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
187
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
188
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
189
190
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
191
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
192
193
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
194
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
195
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
196
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
197
198
IMPROVEMENTS:
199
200
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
201
202
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
203
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
204
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
205
(Adrian Wilkins)
206
207
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
208
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
209
210
DOCUMENTATION:
211
212
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
213
214
TESTING:
215
216
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
217
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
218
219
API CHANGES:
220
221
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
222
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
223
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
224
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
225
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
226
227
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
228
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
229
230
INTERNALS:
231
232
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
233
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
234
235
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
236
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
237
238
239
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
240
-----------------------
241
242
243
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
244
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
245
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
246
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
247
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
248
and future extensions.
249
250
251
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
252
253
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
254
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
255
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
256
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
257
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
258
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
259
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
260
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
261
262
CHANGES:
263
264
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
265
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
266
(John Arbash Meinel)
267
268
FEATURES:
269
270
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
271
load. (James Westby)
272
273
IMPROVEMENTS:
274
275
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
276
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
277
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
278
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
279
280
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
281
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
282
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
283
284
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
285
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
286
287
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
288
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
289
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
290
291
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
292
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
293
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
294
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
295
step closer to not using full revision history.
296
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
297
298
BUGFIXES:
299
300
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
301
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
302
303
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
304
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
305
306
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
307
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
308
309
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
310
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
311
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
312
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
313
314
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
315
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
316
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
317
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
318
319
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
320
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
321
in use by another process.
322
(Martin Pool)
323
324
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
325
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
326
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
327
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
328
329
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
330
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
331
332
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
333
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
334
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
335
336
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
337
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
338
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
339
340
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
341
them.
342
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
343
344
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
345
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
346
347
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
348
under vim on Mac OS X.
349
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
350
351
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
352
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
353
354
DOCUMENTATION:
355
356
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
357
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
358
359
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
360
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
361
(Ian Clatworthy)
362
363
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
364
and about use of Python reprs.
365
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
366
367
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
368
369
TESTING:
370
371
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
372
(Robert Collins)
373
374
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
375
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
376
377
* New helper function for splitting test suites
378
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
379
380
INTERNALS:
381
382
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
383
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
384
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
385
(John Arbash Meinel)
386
387
API CHANGES:
388
389
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
390
instead. (Martin Pool)
391
392
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
393
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
394
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
395
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
396
397
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
398
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
399
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
400
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
401
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
402
403
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
404
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
405
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
406
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
407
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
408
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
409
410
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
411
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
412
(Martin Pool)
413
414
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
415
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
416
(Robert Collins)
417
418
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
419
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
420
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
421
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
422
423
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
424
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
425
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
426
427
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
428
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
429
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
430
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
431
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
432
(Martin Pool)
433
434
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
435
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
436
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
437
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
438
(Robert Collins)
439
440
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
441
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
442
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
443
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
444
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
445
446
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.

451
------------------
452
453
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
454
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
455
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
456
457
CHANGES:
458
459
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
460
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
461
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
462
463
DOCUMENTATION:
464
465
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
466
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

---------------------
472
473
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
474
475
CHANGES:
476
477
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
478
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
479
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
480
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
481
482
FEATURES:
483
484
IMPROVEMENTS:
485
486
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
487
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
488
489
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
490
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
491
492
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
493
(Aaron Bentley)
494
495
BUGFIXES:
496
497
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
498
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
499
500
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
501
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
502
503
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
504
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
505
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
506
507
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
508
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
509
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
510
511
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
512
(Andreas Deininger)
513
514
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
515
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
516
517
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
518
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
519
520
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
521
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
522
523
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
524
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
525
526
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
527
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
528
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
529
530
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
531
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
532
533
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
534
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
535
536
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
537
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
538
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
539
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
540
541
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
542
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
543
(Martin Pool)
544
545
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
546
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
547
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
548
549
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
550
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
551
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
552
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
553
every revision each side had in common.
554
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
555
556
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
557
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
558
559
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
560
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
561
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
562
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
563
564
DOCUMENTATION:
565
566
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
567
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
568
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
569
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
570
571
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
572
573
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
574
575
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
576
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
577
578
TESTING:
579
580
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
581
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
582
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
583
584
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
585
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
586
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
587
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
588
589
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
590
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
591
592
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
593
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
594
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
595
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
596
597
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
598
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
599
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
600
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
601
602
INTERNALS:
603
604
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
605
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
606
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
607
608
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
609
610
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
611
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
612
613
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
614
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
615
616
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
617
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
618
619
API CHANGES:
620
621
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
622
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
623
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
624
625
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
626
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
627
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
628
(Aaron Bentley)
629
630
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
631
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
632
(Martin Pool)
633
634
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

bzr 1.4 2008-04-28
639
------------------
640
641
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
642
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
643
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
644
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
645
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
646
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
647
and faster performance.
648
649
BUG FIXES:
650
651
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
652
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
653
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
658
---------------------
659
660
BUG FIXES:
661
662
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
663
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
664
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
665
666
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
667
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
668
669
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
670
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
671
672
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
673
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
674
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
675
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for

bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
681
---------------------
682
683
CHANGES:
684
685
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
686
687
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
688
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
689
690
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
691
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
692
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
693
694
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
695
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
696
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
697
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
698
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
699
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
700
Andrew Cowie)
701
702
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
703
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
704
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
705
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
706
707
FEATURES:
708
709
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
710
711
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
712
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
713
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
714
715
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
716
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
717
See the User Reference for signature details.
718
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
719
720
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
721
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
722
723
IMPROVEMENTS:
724
725
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
726
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
727
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
728
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
729
730
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
731
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
732
733
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
734
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
735
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
736
Wouter van Heyst)
737
738
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
739
(Chad Miller)
740
741
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
742
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
743
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
744
745
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
746
(Aaron Bentley)
747
748
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
749
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
750
751
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
752
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
753
754
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
755
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
756
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
757
758
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
759
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
760
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
761
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
762
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
763
764
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
765
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
766
767
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
768
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
769
770
BUGFIXES:
771
772
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
773
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
774
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
775
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
776
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
777
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
778
779
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
780
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
781
782
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
783
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
784
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
785
786
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
787
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
788
789
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
790
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
791
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
792
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
793
794
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
795
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
796
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
797
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
798
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
799
800
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
801
802
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
803
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
804
805
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
806
807
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
808
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
809
810
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
811
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
812
813
DOCUMENTATION:
814
815
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
816
817
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
818
819
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
820
821
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
822
823
API BREAKS:
824
825
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
826
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
827
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
828
829
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
830
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
831
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
832
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
833
834
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
835
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
836
release. (James Westby)
837
838
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
839
(Andrew Bennetts)
840
841
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
842
843
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
844
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
845
846
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
847
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
848
849
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
850
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
851
852
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
853
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
854
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
855
856
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
857
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
858
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
859
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
860
861
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
862
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
863
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
864
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
865
866
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
867
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
868
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
869
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
870
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
871
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
872
873
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
874
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
875
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
876
877
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
878
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
879
880
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
881
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
882
(Robert Collins)
883
884
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
885
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
886
887
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
888
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
889
890
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
891
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
892
893
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
894
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
895
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
896
897
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
898
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
899
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
900
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
901
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
902
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
903
904
TESTING:
905
906
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
907
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
908
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
909
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
910
911
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
912
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
913
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
914
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
915
implement this).
916
(Vincent Ladeuil)
917
918
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
919
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
920
(Vincent Ladeuil)
921
922
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
923
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
924
925
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
926
927
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
928
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
929
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
930
931
INTERNALS:
932
933
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
934
935
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
936
(Martin Albisetti)
937
938
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
939
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
940
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
941
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
942
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
943
(Martin Pool, #109520)
944
945
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
946
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
947
948
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
949
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
950
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
951
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
952
953
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
954
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
955
956
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
957
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

969
BUG FIXES:
970
971
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
972
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
973
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).

bzr 1.3 2008-03-20
978
------------------
979
980
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
981
982
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
983
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
984
features have been added.
985
986
TESTING:
987
988
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
989
directory names.

996
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
997
998
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
999
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
1000
1001
CHANGES:
1002
1003
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
1004
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
1005
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
1006
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
1007
(Robert Collins)
1008
1009
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
1010
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
1011
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
1012
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
1013
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
1014
(Alexander Belchenko)
1015
1016
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1017
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1018
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1019
(Alexander Belchenko)
1020
1021
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1022
1023
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1024
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1025
1026
FEATURES:
1027
1028
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1029
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1030
1031
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1032
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1033
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1034
1035
IMPROVEMENTS:
1036
1037
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1038
1039
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1040
1041
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1042
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1043
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1044
1045
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1046
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1047
1048
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1049
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1050
1051
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1052
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1053
(Alexander Belchenko)
1054
1055
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1056
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1057
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1058
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1059
1060
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1061
(Daniel Watkins)
1062
1063
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1064
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1065
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1066
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1067
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1068
1069
BUGFIXES:
1070
1071
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1072
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1073
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1074
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1075
1076
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1077
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1078
1079
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1080
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1081
1082
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1083
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1084
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
1085
1086
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1087
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1088
1089
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1090
#196618)
1091
1092
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1093
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1094
1095
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1096
1097
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1098
1099
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1100
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1101
1102
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1103
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1104
1105
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1106
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1107
1108
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1109
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1110
1111
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1112
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1113
1114
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1115
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1116
1117
DOCUMENTATION:
1118
1119
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
1120
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1121
1122
API BREAKS:
1123
1124
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1125
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1126
(Alexander Belchenko)
1127
1128
TESTING:
1129
1130
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1131
1132
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1133
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1134
(Robert Collins)
1135
1136
INTERNALS:
1137
1138
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1139
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1140
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1141
1142
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1143
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1144
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1145
(Alexander Belchenko)
1146
1147
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1148
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1149
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1150
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1151
1152
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1153
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1154
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1155
(Robert Collins)
1156
1157
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1158
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1159
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1160
1161
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1162
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1163
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1164
1165
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1166
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1167
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1168
format. (Robert Collins)

1180
---------------------
1181
1182
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1183
1184
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1185
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1186
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1187
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1188
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1189
(Andrew Bennetts)
1190
1191
CHANGES:
1192
1193
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1194
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1195
1196
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1197
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1198
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1199
1200
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1201
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1202
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1203
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1204
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1205
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1206
(Aaron Bentley)
1207
1208
FEATURES:
1209
1210
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1211
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1212
1213
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1214
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1215
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1216
(Robert Collins)
1217
1218
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1219
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1220
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1221
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1222
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1223
1224
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1225
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1226
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1227
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1228
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1229
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1230
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1231
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1232
1233
IMPROVEMENTS:
1234
1235
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1236
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1237
1238
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1239
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1240
1241
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1242
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1243
1244
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1245
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1246
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1247
1248
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1249
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1250
(John Arbash Meinel)
1251
1252
BUGFIXES:
1253
1254
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1255
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1256
1257
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1258
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1259
1260
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1261
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1262
1263
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1264
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1265
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1266
1267
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1268
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1269
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1270
1271
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1272
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1273
1274
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1275
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1276
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1277
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1278
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1279
unittest runner.
1280
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1281
1282
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1283
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1284
#185907)
1285
1286
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1287
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1288
1289
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1290
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1291
1292
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1293
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1294
1295
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1296
more characters which should be considered valid.
1297
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1298
1299
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1300
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1301
1302
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1303
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1304
1305
API BREAKS:
1306
1307
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1308
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1309
1310
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1311
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1312
(Martin Pool)
1313
1314
TESTING:
1315
1316
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1317
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1318
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1319
1320
INTERNALS:
1321
1322
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1323
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1324
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1325
1326
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1327
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1328
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1329
1330
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1331
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1332
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1333
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1334
1335
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1336
1337
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1338
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1339
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1340
server. (Robert Collins)
1341
1342
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1343
operate. (Robert Collins)
1344
1345
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1346
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1347
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1348
1349
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1350
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1351
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1352
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1353
1354
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1355
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1356
1357
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1358
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1359
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1360
1361
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1362
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1363
1364
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1365
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1366
1367
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1368
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1369
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1370
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

---------------------
1380
1381
CHANGES:
1382
1383
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1384
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1385
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1386
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1387
1388
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1389
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1390
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1391
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1392
1393
FEATURES:
1394
1395
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1396
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1397
1398
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1399
(Aaron Bentley)
1400
1401
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1402
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1403
1404
IMPROVEMENTS:
1405
1406
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1407
#90049)
1408
1409
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1410
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1411
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1412
1413
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1414
1415
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1416
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1417
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1418
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1419
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1420
1421
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1422
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1423
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1424
1425
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1426
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1427
1428
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1429
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1430
1431
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1432
1433
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1434
1435
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1436
(Aaron Bentley)
1437
1438
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1439
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1440
1441
BUGFIXES:
1442
1443
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1444
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1445
1446
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1447
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1448
1449
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1450
(Aaron Bentley)
1451
1452
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1453
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1454
1455
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1456
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1457
1458
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1459
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1460
1461
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1462
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1463
1464
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1465
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1466
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1467
1468
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1469
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1470
1471
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1472
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1473
(Aaron Bentley)
1474
1475
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1476
1477
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1478
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1479
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1480
1481
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1482
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1483
1484
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1485
(Aaron Bentley)
1486
1487
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1488
#148087)
1489
1490
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1491
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1492
1493
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1494
#137681)
1495
1496
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1497
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1498
(Aaron Bentley)
1499
1500
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1501
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
1502
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
1503
1504
DOCUMENTATION:
1505
1506
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1507
(Ian Clatworthy)
1508
1509
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1510
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1511
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1512
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1513
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1514
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1515
1516
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1517
1518
INTERNALS:
1519
1520
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.

1523
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
1524
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1525
1526
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1527
1528
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1529
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1530
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1531
Robert Collins)
1532
1533
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1534
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1535
1536
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
1537
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1538
1539
API BREAKS:
1540
1541
TESTING:
1542
1543
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
1544
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1545
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
1546
1547
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1548
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1549
(Robert Collins)
1550
1551
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1552
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1553
1554
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
1555
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1556
1557
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1558
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1559
1560
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
1561
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
1562
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1563
1564
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1565
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1566
1567
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
1568
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1569
1570
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
1571
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
1572
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1573
1574
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
1575
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
1576
1577
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
1578
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

CHANGES:
1602
1603
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug

1605
by mail to the mailing list.
1606
(Martin Pool)
1607
1608
BUGFIXES:
1609
1610
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
1611
1612
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
1613
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
1614
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
1615
feedback but also incur more latency.
1616
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
1617
1618
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
1619
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)

1627
1628
INTERNALS:
1629
1630
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
1631
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still

IMPROVEMENTS:
1640
1641
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1642
1643
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
1644
(Aaron Bentley)
1645
1646
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
1647
Nordhoff, #172612)
1648
1649
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1650
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1651
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
1652
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1653
1654
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
1655
(Kent Gibson)
1656
1657
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1658
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1659
1660
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1661
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1662
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1663
1664
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1665
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1666
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1667
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1668
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1669
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1670
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1671
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1672
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
1673
1674
INTERNALS:
1675
1676
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
1677
(Vincent Ladeuil)

1680
1681
BUGFIXES:

* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
1684
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
1685
1686
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
1687
filename to user.
1688
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1689
1690
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1691
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1692
required.
1693
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
1694
1695
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1696
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
1697
1698
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
1699
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
1700
1701
API BREAKS:

bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
1708
---------------------
1709
1710
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1711
1712
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1713
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1714
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1715
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1716
1717
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1718
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1719
1720
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1721
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1722
1723
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1724
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1725
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1726
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1727
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1728
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1729
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1730
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1731
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1732
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1733
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1734
from any tree without problems.
1735
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
1736
1737
CHANGES:
1738
1739
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1740
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1741
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1742
1743
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
1744
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
1745
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
1746
(Martin Pool)
1747
1748
FEATURES:
1749
1750
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
1751
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
1752
supported transports.
1753
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1754
1755
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
1756
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
1757
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
1758
1759
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1760
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1761
1762
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
1763
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
1764
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
1765
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
1766
1767
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
1768
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
1769
1770
PERFORMANCE:
1771
1772
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
1773
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
1774
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
1775
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1776
1777
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
1778
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
1779
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
1780
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
1781
1782
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
1783
(Robert Collins, #88319)
1784
1785
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
1786
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
1787
1788
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1789
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1790
1791
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1792
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1793
(Aaron Bentley)
1794
1795
IMPROVEMENTS:
1796
1797
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1798
(Aaron Bentley)
1799
1800
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1801
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1802
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1803
1804
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1805
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1806
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1807
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1808
1809
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1810
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1811
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1812
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

1822
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
1823
1824
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
1825
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
1826
1827
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
1828
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
1829
1830
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
1831
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)

1833
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.

* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
1840
(Aaron Bentley)
1841
1842
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
1843
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
1844
1845
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
1846
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
1847
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
1848
1849

1850
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
1851
1852
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
1853
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
1854
1855
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
1856
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
1857
1858
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
1859
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
1860
1861
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
1862
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
1863
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
1864
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
1865
on them.
1866
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1867
1868
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
1869
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1870
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
1871
1872
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
1873
(Robert Collins, #161240)
1874
1875
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
1876
to be reconciled.
1877
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1878
1879
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1880
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1881
1882
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1883
specify a port in urls.
1884
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1885
1886
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
1887
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
1888
1889
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
1890
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
1891
1892
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
1893
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
1894
1895
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
1896
(Robert Collins, #153789)
1897
1898
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
1899
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
1900
(Robert Collins, #165304).
1901
1902
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
1903
1904
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
1905
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
1906
1907
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
1908
Watkins, #152811)
1909
1910
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
1911
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
1912
1913
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
1914
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
1915
1916
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
1917
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
1918
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
1919
1920
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
1921
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
1922
1923
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
1924
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
1925
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
1926
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
1927
1928
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
1929
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
1930
1931
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
1932
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
1933
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
1934
1935
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
1936
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
1937
1938
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
1939
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
1940
1941
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
1942
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
1943
1944
API BREAKS:
1945
1946
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
1947
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
1948
1949
* The return value of
1950
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
1951
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
1952
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
1953
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
1954
1955
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
1956
(Robert Collins)
1957
1958
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
1959
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
1960
format.
1961
(Martin Pool)
1962
1963
INTERNALS:
1964
1965
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
1966
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
1967
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
1968
Bennetts)
1969
1970
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
1971
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
1972
1973
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1990
1991
CHANGES:
1992
1993
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
1994
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
1995
1996
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
1997
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
1998
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
1999
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
2000
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
2001
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
2002
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
2003
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
2004
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
2005
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
2006
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
2007
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
2008
(Robert Collins)
2009
2010
FEATURES:
2011
2012
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
2013
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
2014
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
2015
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
2016
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
2017
for further details. (Robert Collins)
2018
2019
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
2020
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
2021
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2022
(Robert Collins)
2023
2024
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2025
2026
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2027
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2028
2029
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2030
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2031
(Aaron Bentley)
2032
2033
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2034
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2035
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
2036
2037
PERFORMANCE:
2038
2039
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
2040
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2041
2042
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
2043
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
2044
2045
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
2046
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
2047
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
2048
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
2049
2050
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
2051
(Robert Collins)
2052
2053
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
2054
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
2055
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
2056
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
2057
2058
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
2059
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
2060
2061
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2062
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2063
2064
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2065
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2066
2067
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2068
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2069
2070
IMPROVEMENTS:
2071
2072
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2073
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2074
2075
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2076
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2077
2078
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2079
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2080
2081
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2082
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2083
2084
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2085
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2086
2087
DOCUMENTATION:
2088
2089
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2090
2091
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2092
(Ian Clatworthy)
2093
2094
BUG FIXES:
2095
2096
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2097
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2098
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2099
2100
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2101
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2102
2103
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2104
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2105
2106
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2107
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2108
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2109
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2110
2111
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2112
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2113
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2114
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2115
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2116
2117
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2118
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2119
paramiko.
2120
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2121
2122
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2123
2124
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2125
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2126
2127
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2128
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2129
2130
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2131
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2132
2133
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2134
contains a symbolic link.
2135
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2136
2137
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2138
(James Westby, #140615)
2139
2140
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2141
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2142
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2143
2144
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2145
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2146
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2147
2148
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2149
2150
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2151
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2152
2153
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2154
will remain opened.
2155
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2156
2157
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2158
directory to detect leaking tests.
2159
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2160
2161
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2162
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2163
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2164
2165
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2166
(Rob Weir, #141629)
2167
2168
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2169
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2170
2171
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2172
Merwe)
2173
2174
API BREAKS:
2175
2176
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2177
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2178
2179
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2180
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2181
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2182
2183
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2184
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2185
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2186
2187
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2188
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2189
2190
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2191
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2192
2193
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2194
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
2195
(Martin Pool)
2196
2197
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
2198
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
2199
2200
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
2201
class that needs it.
2202
(Martin Pool)
2203
2204
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
2205
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
2206
2207
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
2208
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
2209
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
2210
2211
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
2212
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
2213
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
2214
(Robert Collins)
2215
2216
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
2217
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
2218
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
2219
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
2220
(Robert Collins)
2221
2222
INTERNALS:
2223
2224
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
2225
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
2226
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
2227
2228
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
2229
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
2230
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
2231
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
2232
2233
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
2234
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
2235
(Robert Collins)
2236
2237
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
2238
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
2239
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
2240
2241
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
2242
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
2243
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
2244
2245
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
2246
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
2247
2248
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
2249
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
2250
to complete. (Robert Collins)
2251
2252
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
2253
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
2254
2255
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
2256
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
2257
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
2258
2259
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
2260
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
2261
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
2262
2263
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
2264
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
2265
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2266
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2267
2268
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2269
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2270
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2271
returned. (Robert Collins)
2272
2273
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2274
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2275
2276
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2277
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2278
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2279
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2280
(Robert Collins)
2281
2282
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2283
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2284
2285
TESTING:
2286
2287
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2288
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2289
2290
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2291
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2292
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2293
makes this behavior available to other users.
2294
(Martin Pool)
2295
2296
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2297
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

2305
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2306
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2307
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2308
2309
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2310
2311
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2312
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2313
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2314
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2315
2316
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2317
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.

CHANGES:
2332
2333
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
2334
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
2335
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
2336
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
2337
(Martin Pool)
2338
2339
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
2340
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
2341
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
2342
(Ian Clatworthy)
2343
2344
FEATURES:
2345
2346
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
2347
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
2348
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
2349
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2350
2351
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
2352
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
2353
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
2354
2355
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2356
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2357
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2358
2359
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2360
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2361
2362
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
2363
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
2364
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
2365
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
2366
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
2367
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
2368
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
2369
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
2370
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
2371
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
2372
2373
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2374
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2375
2376
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
2377
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
2378
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2379
2380
BUG FIXES:
2381
2382
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2383
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2384
2385
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
2386
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
2387
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
2388
2389
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2390
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2391
2392
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2393
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2394
2395
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2396
(Aaron Bentley)
2397
2398
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2399
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2400
2401
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2402
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2403
2404
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2405
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2406
2407
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2408
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2409
2410
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2411
2412
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2413
Watkins, #106726)
2414
2415
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
2416
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
2417
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
2418
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
2419
2420
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2421
2422
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
2423
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
2424
#133548)
2425
2426
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2427
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2428
2429
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2430
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2431
#116143)
2432
2433
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2434
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2435
2436
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2437
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2438
2439
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
2440
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
2441
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
2442
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
2443
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
2444
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
2445
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
2446
2447
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2448
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2449
2450
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2451
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2452
2453
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2454
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2455
2456
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2457
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2458
2459
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2460
connections.
2461
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2462
2463
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2464
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
2465
2466
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
2467
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
2468
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
2469
2470
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2471
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2472
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2473
2474
IMPROVEMENTS:
2475
2476
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2477
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2478
2479
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2480
(Aaron Bentley)
2481
2482
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2483
(Aaron Bentley)
2484
2485
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2486
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2487
2488
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2489
2490
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2491
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2492
2493
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2494
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2495
2496
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
2497
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
2498
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
2499
space). (Robert Collins)
2500
2501
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2502
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2503
(Ian Clatworthy)
2504
2505
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2506
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2507
2508
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2509
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2510
2511
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
2512
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
2513
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
2514
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
2515
2516
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
2517
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
2518
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
2519
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2520
2521
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
2522
(Ian Clatworthy)
2523
2524
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
2525
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
2526
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
2527
2528
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
2529
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
2530
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
2531
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
2532
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
2533
2534
API BREAKS:
2535
2536
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
2537
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2538
2539
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
2540
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
2541
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
2542
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
2543
affected. (Robert Collins)
2544
2545
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
2546
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
2547
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
2548
(Robert Collins)
2549
2550
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2551
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2552
2553
TESTING:
2554
2555
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
2556
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
2557
2558
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
2559
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2560
2561
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2562
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2563
2564
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
2565
(Aaron Bentley)
2566
2567
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
2568
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2569
2570
INTERNALS:
2571
2572
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
2573
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
2574
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
2575
its version information. (Robert Collins)
2576
2577
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
2578
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2579
2580
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
2581
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
2582
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
2583
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2584
2585
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
2586
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
2587
present. (Robert Collins)
2588
2589
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
2590
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
2591
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
2592
API. (Robert Collins)
2593
2594
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
2595
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
2596
(Robert Collins)
2597
2598
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
2599
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
2600
2601
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
2602
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
2603
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
2604
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
2605
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
2606
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
2607
2608
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
2609
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
2610
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
2611
2612
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
2613
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
2614
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
2615
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
2616
protocol.
2617
2618
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
2619
(Aaron Bentley)
2620
2621
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
2622
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
2623
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
2624
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
2625
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
2626
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
2627
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
2628
2629
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
2630
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
2631
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
2632
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
2633
2634
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
2635
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
2636
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
2637
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
2638
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
2639
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
2640
2641
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
2642
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
2643
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
2644
2645
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
2646
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2647
2648
2649
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
2650
-------------------
2651
2652
IMPROVEMENTS:
2653
2654
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2655
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2656
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2657
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2658
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2659
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2660
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
2661
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
2662
2663
2664
API CHANGES:
2665
2666
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2667
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2668
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
2669
2670
2671
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
2672
----------------------
2673
2674
BUGFIXES:
2675
2676
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2677
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2678
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2679
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2680
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2681
2682
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2683
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2684
2685
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2686
anymore.
2687
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2688
2689
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2690
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2691
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2692
2693
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2694
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2695
#111664)
2696
2697
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2698
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2699
2700
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2701
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2702
2703
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2704
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2705
2706
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2707
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2708
2709
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2710
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2711
2712
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2713
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2714
2715
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2716
(Aaron Bentley)
2717
2718
IMPROVEMENTS:
2719
2720
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2721
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2722
2723
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2724
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2725
2726
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2727
the repository (Robert Collins)
2728
2729
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2730
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2731
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2732
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2733
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2734
2735
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2736
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2737
2738
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2739
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2740
(John Arbash Meinel)
2741
2742
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2743
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2744
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2745
about 10%).
2746
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2747
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2748
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2749
(John Arbash Meinel)
2750
2751
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2752
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2753
(Robert Collins)
2754
2755
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2756
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2757
2758
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2759
(Ian Clatworthy)
2760
2761
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2762
2763
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2764
2765
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2766
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2767
2768
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2769
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2770
Meinel)
2771
2772
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2773
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2774
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2775
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2776
2777
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2778
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
2779
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
2780
2781
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
2782
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
2783
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
2784
2785
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2786
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2787
2788
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2789
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2790
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2791
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2792
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2793
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2794
(Ian Clatworthy)
2795
2796
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2797
(Alexander Belchenko)
2798
2799
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2800
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2801
2802
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2803
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2804
2805
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2806
2807
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2808
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2809
2810
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2811
2812
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2813
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2814
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2815
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2816
2817
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2818
2819
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2820
(Robert Collins)
2821
2822
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2823
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2824
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2825
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2826
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2827
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2828
2829
INTERNALS:
2830
2831
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2832
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2833
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2834
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2835
2836
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2837
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2838
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2839
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2840
tests have been refactored too.
2841
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2842
2843
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2844
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2845
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2846
list, it will.
2847
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2848
2849
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2850
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2851
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2852
2853
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2854
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2855
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2856
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2857
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2858
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2859
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2860
2861
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2862
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2863
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2864
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2865
(John Arbash Meinel)
2866
2867
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2868
functionality for testing.
2869
2870
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2871
2872
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2873
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2874
2875
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2876
2877
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2878
(Robert Collins)
2879
2880
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2881
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2882
2883
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2884
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2885
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2886
2887
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2888
(Aaron Bentley)
2889
2890
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2891
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2892
2893
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2894
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2895
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2896
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2897
2898
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2899
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2900
2901
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2902
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2903
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2904
2905
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2906
(Marius Kruger)
2907
2908
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2909
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2910
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2911
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2912
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
2913
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2914
2915
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
2916
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
2917
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
2918
many files. (Robert Collins)
2919
2920
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
2921
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
2922
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
2923
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
2924
2925
TESTING:
2926
2927
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
2928
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
2929
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
2930
2931
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
2932
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
2933
2934
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
2935
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
2936
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
2953
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
2954
2955
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
2956

2957
(James Westby, #122656)
2958

individually and as part of revision ranges.
2982
(Kent Gibson, #4663)

2992
2993
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2994
2995
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
2996
2997
IMPROVEMENTS:
2998
2999
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
3000
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
3001
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
3002
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
3003
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
3004
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
3005
3006
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
3007
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
3008
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
3009
3010
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
3011
(Elliot Murphy)
3012
3013
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
3014
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
3015
3016
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
3017
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
3018
3019
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
3020
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
3021
3022
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3023
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3024
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3025
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3026
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3027
3028
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3029
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3030
3031
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3032
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3033
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3034
3035
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3036
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
3037
3038
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
3039
3040
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
3041
output. (Aaron Bentley)
3042
3043
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
3044
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
3045
(Robert Collins)
3046
3047
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
3048
(Martin Pool)
3049
3050
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
3051
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
3052
3053
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
3054
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
3055
3056
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
3057
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
3058
3059
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
3060
3061
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3062
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
3063
3064
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
3065
(Andrew Bennetts)
3066
3067
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3068
3069
* Testing cleanups -
3070
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3071
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
3072
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3073
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
3074
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3075
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
3076
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3077
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
3078
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3079
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
3080
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
3081
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
3082
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3083
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
3084
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3085
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3086
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
3087
(Robert Collins)
3088
3089
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3090
3091
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3092
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3093
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3094
3095
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3096
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3097
3098
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3099
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3100
3101
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3102
3103
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3104
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3105
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3106
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3107
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3108
same location. (Robert Collins)
3109
3110
INTERNALS:
3111
3112
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3113
3114
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3115
3116
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3117
3118
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3119
(Martin Pool)
3120
3121
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3122
(Martin Pool)
3123
3124
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3125
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3126
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3127
3128
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3129
3130
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3131
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3132
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3133
3134
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3135
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3136
3137
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3138
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3139
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3140
3141
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3142
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3143
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3144
3145
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3146
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3147
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3148
3149
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3150
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3151
Martin Pool)
3152
3153
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3154
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3155
3156
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3157
(Alexander Belchenko)
3158
3159
TESTING:
3160
3161
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3162
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3163
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3164
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3165
3166
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3167
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3168
testing. (Robert Collins)
3169
3170
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3171
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3172
3173
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3174
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3175
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3176
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3177
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3178
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3179
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3180
3181
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3182
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3183
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3184
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3185
3186
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3187
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3188
3189
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3190
avoid useless cloning.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3210
3211
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
3212
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
3213
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
3214
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
3215
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
3216
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
3217
and unlock() like so::
3218
3219
work_tree.lock_read()
3220
try:
3221
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
3222
finally:
3223
work_tree.unlock()
3224
3225
INTERNALS:
3226
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
3227
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
3228
object.
3229
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
3230
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
3231
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
3232
3233
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
3234
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
3235
too. (Robert Collins)
3236
3237
IMPROVEMENTS:
3238
3239
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
3240
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
3241
Aaron Bentley)
3242
3243
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
3244
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
3245
3246
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally

produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
3248
3249
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
3250
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
3251
understanding what changes have occurred
3252
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
3253
3254
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
3255
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
3256
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3257
3258
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
3259
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
3260
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
3261
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
3262
3263
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
3264
#56322)
3265
3266
BUGFIXES:
3267
3268
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3269
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3270
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3271
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3272
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3273
3274
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3275
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3276
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3277
3278
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3279
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3280
3281
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3282
into account.
3283
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3284
3285
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3286
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3287
3288
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3289
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3290
3291
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3292
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3293
3294
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3295
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3296
3297
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3298
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3299
3300
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3301
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3302
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
3305
--------------------
3306
3307
BUGFIXES:
3308
3309
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3310
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3311
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3312
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3313
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3314
3315
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3316
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3317
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3318
3319
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3320
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3321
3322
IMPROVEMENTS:
3323
3324
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3325
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3326
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3327
3328
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3329
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3330
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3331
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

3333

3334
-----------------------
3335
3336
BUGFIXES:
3337
3338
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
3339
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
3340
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
3341
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
3342
3343
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
3344
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
3345
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
3346
3347
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
3348
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
3349
3350
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
3351
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
3352
3353
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
3354
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
3355
3356
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
3357
-----------------------
3358
3359
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3360
3361
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
3362
it could be recovered again.
3363
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
3364
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
3365
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
3366
but not delete it.
3367
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
3368
files.
3369
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
3370
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
3371
3372
IMPROVEMENTS:
3373
3374
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
3375
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
3376
3377
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
3378
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
3379
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
3380
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
3381
3382
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
3383
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
3384
3385
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
3386
tests with names that match that regular expression.
3387
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
3388
3389
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
3390
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
3391
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
3392
3393
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
3394
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
3395
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
3396
3397
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
3398
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
3399
Robert Collins)
3400
3401
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
3402
Pool)
3403
3404
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
3405
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
3406
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
3407
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
3408
3409
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
3410
(Robert Collins)
3411
3412
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
3413
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
3414
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
3415
(Robert Collins)
3416
3417
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
3418
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
3419
3420
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
3421
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
3422
3423
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
3424
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
3425
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
3426
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
3427
(Robert Collins)
3428
3429
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
3430
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
3431
3432
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
3433
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3434
3435
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
3436
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
3437
(Robert Collins, #107125).
3438
3439
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
3440
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
3441
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
3442
3443
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
3444
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
3445
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3446
3447
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
3448
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
3449
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
3450
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
3451
3452
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
3453
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
3454
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
3455
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
3456
3457
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
3458
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
3459
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
3460
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
3461
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
3462
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
3463
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
3464
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
3465
header(s).
3466
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3467
3468
INTERNALS:
3469
3470
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
3471
code paths. (Robert Collins)
3472
3473
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
3474
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
3475
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
3476
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
3477
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3478
3479
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
3480
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
3481
3482
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
3483
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
3484
3485
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
3486
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
3487
3488
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
3489
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
3490
3491
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
3492
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
3493
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
3494
(Robert Collins).
3495
3496
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
3497
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
3498
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
3499
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
3500
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
3501
(Robert Collins)
3502
3503
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
3504
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
3505
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
3506
3507
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
3508
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
3509
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3510
3511
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
3512
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
3513
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
3514
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3515
3516
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
3517
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
3518
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
3519
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
3520
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
3521
3522
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
3523
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
3524
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
3525
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3526
3527
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
3528
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3529
3530
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
3531
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
3532
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
3533
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
3534
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
3535
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
3536
3537
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
3538
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
3539
3540
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
3541
help. (Robert Collins)
3542
3543
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
3544
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3545
3546
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
3547
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
3548
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
3549
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
3550
(John Arbash Meinel)
3551
3552
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
3553
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
3554
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
3555
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
3556
useful. (Robert Collins)
3557
3558
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
3559
(Andrew Bennetts)
3560
3561
BUGFIXES:
3562
3563
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
3564
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
3565
3566
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
3567
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
3568
3569
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
3570
properly and is no longer beneficial.
3571
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
3572
3573
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
3574
(Aaron Bentley)
3575
3576
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
3577
the file, and does it faster.
3578
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
3579
3580
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
3581
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
3582
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
3583
3584
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
3585
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
3586
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
3587
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
3588
3589
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
3590
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
3591
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
3592
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
3593
3594
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
3595
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
3596
3597
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
3598
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
3599
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
3600
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
3601
Arbash Meinel)
3602
3603
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
3604
3605
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
3606
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
3607
3608
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
3609
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
3610
3611
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
3612
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
3613
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
3614
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
3615
security hole.
3616
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3617
3618
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3619
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3620
3621
TESTING:
3622
3623
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3624
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3625
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3626
3627
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3628
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3629
3630
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3631
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3632
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3633
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3634
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3635
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3636
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3637
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3638
3639
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3640
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3641
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3642
3643
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3644
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3645
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
3646
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
3647
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3648
access.
3649
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3650
3651
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3652
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3653
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3654
3655
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3656
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

3678
(Martin Pool)
3679
3680
IMPROVEMENTS:
3681
3682
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3683
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3684
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3685
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3686
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3687
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3688
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3689
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3690
path. (vila)
3691
3692
INTERNALS:
3693
3694
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3695
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3696
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3697
3698
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3699
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3700
(Martin Pool)
3701
3702
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3703
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3704
(John Arbash Meinel)
3705
3706
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3707
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3708
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3709
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3710
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3711
3712
BUGFIXES:
3713
3714
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3715
(vila, #92195)
3716
3717
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3718
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3719
3720
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3721
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3722
3723
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3724
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3725
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3726
3727
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3728
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3729
3730
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3731
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3732
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3733
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3734
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3735
3736
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3737
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3738
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3739
3740
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
3744
-----------------------
3745
3746
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3747
3748
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3749
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3750
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3751
3752
IMPROVEMENTS:
3753
3754
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3755
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3756
3757
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3758
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3759
3760
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3761
3762
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3763
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3764
3765
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3766
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3767
3768
INTERNALS:
3769
3770
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3771
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
3772
3773
BUGFIXES:
3774
3775
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3776
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3777
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3778
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3779
3780
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3781
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3782
3783
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3784
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3785
3786
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3787
(Marien Zwart)
3788
3789
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

3793
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
3794
-----------------------
3795
3796
SURPRISES:
3797
3798
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
3799
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
3800
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
3801
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
3802
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
3803
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
3804
3805
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
3806
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
3807
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
3808
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
3809
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
3810
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
3811
development.
3812
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3813
3814
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
3815
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
3816
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
3817
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
3818
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
3819
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
3820
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
3821
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3822
3823
IMPROVEMENTS:
3824
3825
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3826
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3827
3828
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
3829
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
3830
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
3831
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
3832
does exist.
3833
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
3834
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
3835
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
3836
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
3837
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
3838
3839
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
3840
(Aaron Bentley)
3841
3842
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3843
(Aaron Bentley)
3844
3845
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3846
(Robert Collins)
3847
3848
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3849
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3850
(Aaron Bentley)
3851
3852
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3853
(Aaron Bentley)
3854
3855
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3856
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3857
3858
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3859
directory. (Martin Pool)
3860
3861
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3862
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3863
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3864
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3865
3866
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3867
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3868
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3869
in docs/configuration.txt.
3870
3871
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3872
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
3873
bind location.
3874
3875
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
3876
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
3877
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
3878
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
3879
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
3880
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3881
3882
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3883
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3884
3885
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3886
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3887
3888
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
3889
(Aaron Bentley)
3890
3891
INTERNALS:
3892
3893
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
3894
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
3895
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
3896
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
3897
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
3898
(John Arbash Meinel)
3899
3900
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
3901
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
3902
(Aaron Bentley)
3903
3904
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
3905
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
3906
(John Arbash Meinel)
3907
3908
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
3909
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
3910
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
3911
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
3912
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
3913
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
3914
3915
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
3916
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
3917
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
3918
3919
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
3920
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
3921
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
3922
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
3923
repository.
3924
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3925
3926
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
3927
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
3928
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
3929
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
3930
3931
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
3932
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
3933
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
3934
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
3935
3936
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
3937
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
3938
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
3939
3940
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
3941
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
3942
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
3943
3944
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
3945
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
3946
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
3947
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
3948
3949
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
3950
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
3951
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
3952
3953
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
3954
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
3955
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
3956
3957
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
3958
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
3959
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
3960
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
3961
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
3962
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
3963
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
3964
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
3965
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
3966
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
3967
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
3968
3969
BUGFIXES:
3970
3971
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
3972
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
3973
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
3974
3975
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
3976
(Aaron Bentley)
3977
3978
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
3979
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
3980
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
3981
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
3982
3983
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
3984
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
3985
#83954).
3986
3987
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
3988
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
3989
3990
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
3991
3992
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
3993
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
3994
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
3995
3996
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
3997
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
3998
3999
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
4000
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
4001
4002
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
4003
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
4004
4005
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
4006
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
4007
4008
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
4009
4010
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
4011
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
4012
4013
TESTING:
4014
4015
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
4016
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

4022
IMPROVEMENTS:

4024
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
4025
4026
BUG FIXES:
4027
4028
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4029
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4030
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4031
4032
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
4033
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
4034
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

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

* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4146
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4147
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4148
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4149
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4150
4151
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4152
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4153
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4154
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4155
4156
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4157
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4158
4159
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4160
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4161
4162
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4163
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
4164
4165
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

4177
IMPROVEMENTS:
4178
4179
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4180
tree from a branch.
4181
(Daniel Silverstone)
4182
4183
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4184
operations are substantially faster.
4185
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4186
4187
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4188
tree from some other url. For example:
4189
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4190
(Daniel Silverstone)
4191
4192
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4193
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4194
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
4195
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
4196
4197
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
4198
(Andrew Bennetts)
4199
4200
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
4201
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
4202
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
4203
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
4204
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
4205
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
4206
4207
INTERNALS:
4208
4209
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
4210
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
4211
(Martin Pool)
4212
4213
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4214
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4215
(John Arbash Meinel)
4216
4217
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
4218
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
4219
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
4220
(John Arbash Meinel)
4221
4222
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
4223
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
4224
4225
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
4226
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4227
4228
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
4229
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
4230
Bennetts)
4231
4232
BUG FIXES:
4233
4234
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
4235
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
4236
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
4237
4238
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
4239
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
4240
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
4241
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
4242
4243
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
4244
4245
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
4246
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
4247
4248
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
4249
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
4250
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
4251
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
4252
4253
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
4254
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
4255
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
4256
4257
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
4258
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
4259
them as full references rather than integers.
4260
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
4261
4262
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
4263
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
4264
4265
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4266
4267
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4268
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4269
4270
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4271
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4272
4273
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4274
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4275
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4276
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4277
4278
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4279
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4280
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4281
4282
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4283
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4284
4285
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4286
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4287
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4288
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4289
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4290
4291
TESTING:
4292
4293
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4294
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

4297
--------------------
4298
4299
INTERNALS:
4300
4301
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
4302
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
4303
(John Arbash Meinel)
4304
4305
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
4306
-----------------------
4307
4308
IMPROVEMENTS:
4309
4310
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4311
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4312
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4313
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4314
4315
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4316
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4317
4318
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4319
4320
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4321
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4322
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4323
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4324
4325
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4326
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4327
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4328
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4329
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4330
4331
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4332
4333
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4334
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4335
4336
INTERNALS:
4337
4338
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4339
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4340
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4341
4342
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4343
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4344
(John Arbash Meinel)
4345
4346
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4347
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4348
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4349
4350
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4351
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4352
(Aaron Bentley)
4353
4354
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4355
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4356
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4357
4358
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4359
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4360
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4361
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4362
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4363
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4364
4365
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4366
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4367
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4368
(Robert Collins)
4369
4370
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4371
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4372
4373
BUG FIXES:
4374
4375
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4376
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4377
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4378
#63360, #66349)
4379
4380
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4381
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
4382
4383
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4384
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4385
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4386
4387
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4388
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4389
4390
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4391
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4392
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4393
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4394
4395
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4396
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4397
4398
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4399
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4400
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4401
4402
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4403
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4404
4405
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4406
4407
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4408
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4409
#32054)
4410
4411
TESTING:
4412
4413
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4414
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4415
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4416
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4417
4418
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4419
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4420
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4421
4422
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

4432
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
4433
4434
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John

4437
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
4438
-----------------------
4439
4440
IMPROVEMENTS:
4441
4442
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
4443
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
4444
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
4445
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
4446
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
4447
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
4448
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
4449
4450
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
4451
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
4452
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
4453
4454
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
4455
4456
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
4457
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
4458
4459
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
4460
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
4461
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
4462
(Robert Collins)
4463
4464
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
4465
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
4466
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
4467
(John Arbash Meinel)
4468
4469
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
4470
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
4471
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
4472
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
4473
Pool)
4474
4475
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
4476
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
4477
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
4478
(John Arbash Meinel)
4479
4480
BUG FIXES:
4481
4482
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
4483
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
4484
4485
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
4486
4487
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
4488
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
4489
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
4490
4491
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
4492
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
4493
4494
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
4495
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
4496
4497
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
4498
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
4499
4500
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
4501
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
4502
4503
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
4504
4505
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
4506
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
4507
4508
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
4509
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
4510
4511
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
4512
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
4513
4514
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
4515
(John Arbash Meinel)
4516
4517
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
4518
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
4519
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
4520
4521
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
4522
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4523
4524
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
4525
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
4526
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
4527
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
4528
4529
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
4530
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
4531
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
4532
4533
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
4534
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
4535
4536
PORTABILITY:
4537
4538
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
4539
4540
INTERNALS:
4541
4542
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
4543
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
4544
(John Arbash Meinel)
4545
4546
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
4547
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
4548
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
4549
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4550
4551
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
4552
(Andrew Bennetts)
4553
4554
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
4555
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
4556
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
4557
4558
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
4559
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
4560
4561
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
4562
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
4563
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
4564
4565
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
4566
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
4567
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
4568
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
4569
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
4570
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
4571
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
4572
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
4573
caller to repeat their request.
4574
(John Arbash Meinel)
4575
4576
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
4577
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
4578
4579
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
4580
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
4581
4582
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
4583
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
4584
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
4585
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
4586
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
4587
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
4588
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
4589
4590
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
4591
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
4592
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
4593
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
4594
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
4595
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
4596
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
4597
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
4598
(Robert Collins)
4599
4600
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
4601
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
4602
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
4603
4604
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
4605
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
4606
4607
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
4608
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
4609
4610
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
4611
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4612
4613
TESTING:
4614
4615
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
4616
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
4617
4618
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
4619
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
4620
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4621
4622
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
4623
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
4624
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4625
4626
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
4627
--------------------
4628
4629
IMPROVEMENTS:
4630
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
4631
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4632
4633
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
4634
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
4635
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
4636
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
4637
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
4638
4639
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
4640
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
4641
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
4642
4643
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
4644
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
4645
4646
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
4647
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
4648
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4649
4650
BUG FIXES:
4651
4652
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
4653
4654
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
4655
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
4656
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
4657
4658
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
4659
4660
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
4661
4662
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
4663
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
4664
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
4665
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
4666
4667
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
4668
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
4669
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
4670
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
4671
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
4672
4673
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
4674
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
4675
4676
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
4677
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
4678
4679
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
4680
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
4681
4682
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
4683
in handling of revision properties.
4684
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
4685
4686
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
4687
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
4688
4689
INTERNALS:
4690
4691
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
4692
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
4693
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
4694
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
4695
(John Arbash Meinel)
4696
4697
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
4698
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
4699
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4700
4701
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4702
---------------------
4703
4704
SURPRISES:
4705
4706
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
4707
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
4708
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
4709
specific one '.bzrignore'.
4710
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
4711
a more conservative list than the old default.
4712
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
4713
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
4714
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
4715
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
4716
4717
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4718
to more locations than just branch locations.
4719
(Aaron Bentley)
4720
4721
IMPROVEMENTS:
4722
4723
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
4724
revno:N:branch. For example,
4725
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
4726
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4727
4728
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
4729
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
4730
the path of a file that has been versioned.
4731
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
4732
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
4733
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
4734
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
4735
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
4736
#42517, #42514)
4737
4738
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
4739
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
4740
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
4741
(Malone #3507)
4742
4743
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
4744
(Alexander Belchenko)
4745
4746
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
4747
4748
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
4749
(Robert Collins).
4750
4751
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
4752
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
4753
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
4754
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
4755
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
4756
(John Arbash Meinel)
4757
4758
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
4759
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
4760
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
4761
grained analysis of performance.
4762
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4763
4764
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
4765
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
4766
4767
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
4768
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
4769
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
4770
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
4771
file. (Robert Collins).
4772
4773
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
4774
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
4775
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
4776
4777
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
4778
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
4779
Matthieu Moy)
4780
4781
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
4782
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
4783
4784
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
4785
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
4786
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
4787
the same way you would apply another branch.
4788
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4789
4790
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
4791
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
4792
4793
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
4794
(Michael Ellerman)
4795
4796
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
4797
(Aaron Bentley)
4798
4799
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
4800
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
4801
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
4802
4803
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
4804
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
4805
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
4806
4807
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
4808
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
4809
4810
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
4811
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
4812
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
4813
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
4814
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
4815
4816
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
4817
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
4818
4819
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
4820
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
4821
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
4822
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
4823
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
4824
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
4825
branch is as much as 4x faster.
4826
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
4827
4828
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
4829
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
4830
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
4831
4832
BUG FIXES:
4833
4834
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4835
tests not to run.
4836
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4837
4838
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4839
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4840
4841
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4842
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4843
4844
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4845
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4846
4847
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4848
4849
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4850
(John Arbash Meinel)
4851
4852
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4853
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4854
4855
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4856
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4857
and y.
4858
4859
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4860
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4861
4862
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4863
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4864
4865
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4866
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4867
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4868
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4869
4870
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4871
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4872
4873
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4874
4875
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4876
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4877
4878
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4879
4880
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4881
4882
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4883
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4884
4885
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4886
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4887
4888
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4889
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4890
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4891
4892
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4893
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4894
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4895
4896
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4897
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4898
4899
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4900
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4901
4902
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4903
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4904
4905
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4906
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4907
4908
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4909
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
4910
4911
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
4912
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
4913
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
4914
4915
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
4916
4917
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
4918
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
4919
4920
INTERNALS:
4921
4922
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
4923
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
4924
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
4925
4926
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
4927
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
4928
4929
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
4930
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
4931
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4932
4933
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
4934
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4935
4936
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
4937
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
4938
(Martin Pool)
4939
4940
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
4941
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
4942
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4943
4944
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
4945
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
4946
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4947
4948
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
4949
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
4950
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
4951
4952
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
4953
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
4954
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
4955
4956
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
4957
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
4958
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
4959
4960
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
4961
instead. (Robert Collins)
4962
4963
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

4973
---------------------
4974
4975
BUG FIXES:
4976
4977
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
4978
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
4979
4980
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
4981
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4982
4983
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
4984
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
4985
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
4986
4987
CHANGES:
4988
4989
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
4990
4991
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
4992
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
4993
4994
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
4995
4996
CHANGES:
4997
4998
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
4999
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
5000
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
5001
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
5002
5003
NEW FEATURES:
5004
5005
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
5006
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
5007
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
5008
5009
INTERNALS:
5010
5011
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
5012
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
5013
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)

* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
5018
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)

5020
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
5021
-------------------
5022
5023
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
5024
5025
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
5026
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
5027
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
5028
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
5029
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
5030
will keep the same format.
5031
5032
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
5033
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
5034
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
5035
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
5036
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
5037
5038
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
5039
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
5040
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
5041
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
5042
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
5043
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
5044
indicating the current revision of the branch.
5045
5046
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
5047
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
5048
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
5049
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
5050
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
5051
5052
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
5053
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
5054
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
5055
arrangement.
5056
5057
5058
IMPROVEMENTS:
5059
5060
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
5061
convention. Paths now take the form::
5062
5063
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
5064
or
5065
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
5066
5067
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
5068
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
5069
5070
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
5071
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
5072
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
5073
5074
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
5075
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
5076
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
5077
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
5078
5079
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
5080
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
5081
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
5082
5083
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
5084
5085
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
5086
5087
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
5088
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
5089
commits::
5090
5091
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
5092
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
5093
| xargs bzr re-sign
5094
5095
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
5096
5097
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
5098
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
5099
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
5100
(Robert Collins)
5101
5102
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
5103
5104
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
5105
5106
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
5107
'.moved'.
5108
5109
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
5110
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
5111
5112
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
5113
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
5114
Daniel Silverstone)
5115
5116
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
5117
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
5118
Martin Pool)
5119
5120
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
5121
5122
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
5123
5124
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
5125
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
5126
5127
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
5128
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
5129
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
5130
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
5131
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
5132
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
5133
5134
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
5135
5136
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
5137
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
5138
(Robert Collins)
5139
5140
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
5141
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
5142
5143
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
5144
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
5145
5146
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
5147
5148
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
5149
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
5150
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
5151
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
5152
specification by Martin Pool.
5153
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
5154
5155
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
5156
Belchenko)
5157
5158
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
5159
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
5160
5161
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
5162
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
5163
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
5164
5165
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
5166
5167
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
5168
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
5169
(Robert Collins)
5170
5171
CHANGES:
5172
5173
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
5174
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5175
5176
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
5177
5178
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
5179
5180
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
5181
(Olaf Conradi)
5182
5183
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
5184
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
5185
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
5186
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
5187
5188
INTERNALS:
5189
5190
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
5191
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
5192
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
5193
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5194
5195
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
5196
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
5197
tried. (Martin Pool)
5198
5199
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
5200
(Martin Pool)
5201
5202
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
5203
5204
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
5205
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
5206
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
5207
5208
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
5209
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
5210
5211
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
5212
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
5213
paths. (Robert Collins)
5214
5215
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
5216
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
5217
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
5218
5219
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
5220
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
5221
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
5222
5223
* Progress bars are now nested - see
5224
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
5225
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5226
5227
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
5228
(Olaf Conradi)
5229
5230
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
5231
(Olaf Conradi)
5232
5233
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
5234
5235
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
5236
5237
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
5238
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
5239
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
5240
(Robert Collins)
5241
5242
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
5243
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
5244
5245
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
5246
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
5247
check. (Robert Collins)
5248
5249
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
5250
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
5251
5252
TESTING:
5253
5254
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
5255
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
5256
5257
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
5258
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
5259
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
5260
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
5261
5262
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
5263
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
5264
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
5265
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5266
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5267
5268
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5269
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5270
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5271
5272
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5273
5274
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5275
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
5276
5277
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
5278
------------------
5279
5280
CHANGES:
5281
5282
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5283
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5284
5285
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5286
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5287
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5288
(Johan Rydberg)
5289
5290
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5291
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5292
5293
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5294
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5295
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5296
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5297
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5298
5299
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5300
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5301
used. (Robert Collins)
5302
5303
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5304
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5305
(James Henstridge)
5306
5307
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5308
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5309
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5310
5311
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5312
ignore list.
5313
5314
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5315
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
5316
5317
IMPROVEMENTS:
5318
5319
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5320
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5321
5322
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5323
5324
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5325
5326
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5327
tree. (Robert Collins)
5328
5329
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
5330
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
5331
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
5332
(Robert Collins)
5333
5334
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
5335
that they be kept.
5336
5337
* Tweaks to short log printing
5338
5339
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
5340
(Aaron Bentley)
5341
5342
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
5343
occurs. (Martin Pool)
5344
5345
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
5346
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
5347
5348
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
5349
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5350
5351
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5352
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5353
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5354
5355
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5356
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5357
5358
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5359
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5360
requests.
5361
5362
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5363
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5364
5365
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5366
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5367
5368
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5369
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5370
5371
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5372
(Denys Duchier)
5373
5374
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5375
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5376
5377
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5378
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5379
5380
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5381
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5382
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
5383
5384
BUG FIXES:
5385
5386
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
5387
5388
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5389
5390
* Error when run with -OO
5391
5392
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
5393
(Martin Pool)
5394
5395
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5396
5397
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5398
5399
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5400
ignored by diff and status
5401
5402
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5403
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5404
5405
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5406
5407
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5408
5409
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5410
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5411
5412
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5413
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5414
5415
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5416
(Harald Meland)
5417
5418
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5419
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5420
5421
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5422
5423
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5424
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5425
5426
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5427
(Martin Pool)
5428
5429
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5430
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5431
5432
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5433
5434
TESTING:
5435
5436
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5437
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5438
5439
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5440
5441
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5442
5443
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5444
5445
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5446
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5447
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5448
5449
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5450
5451
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5452
(John Arbash Meinel)
5453
5454
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5455
5456
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5457
If adding a new test script please add that to
5458
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5459
5460
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5461
imported. (Martin Pool)
5462
5463
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5464
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5465
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5466
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5467
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5468
(Robert Collins)
5469
5470
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5471
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5472
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5473
5474
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5475
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5476
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5477
5478
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5479
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5480
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5481
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5482
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5483
(Robert Collins).
5484
5485
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5486
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5487
(Robert Collins).
5488
5489
INTERNALS:
5490
5491
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5492
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5493
5494
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5495
function. (Robert Collins)
5496
5497
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5498
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5499
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5500
5501
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5502
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5503
(Robert Collins)
5504
5505
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5506
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5507
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5508
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5509
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5510
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5511
version. (Robert Collins)
5512
5513
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5514
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5515
5516
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5517
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5518
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5519
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5520
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5521
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5522
5523
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5524
(Robert Collins)
5525
5526
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5527
5528
add()
5529
commit()
5530
move()
5531
rename_one()
5532
unknowns()
5533
5534
(Robert Collins)
5535
5536
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5537
5538
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5539
5540
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5541
Pool)
5542
5543
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5544
query method. (Robert Collins)
5545
5546
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5547
(Denys Duchier)
5548
5549
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5550
(Michael Ellerman)
5551
5552
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5553
(Michael Ellerman)
5554
5555
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5556
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5557
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5558
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5559
5560
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5561
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5562
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5563
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5564
5565
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5566
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
5567

5571
IMPROVEMENTS:
5572
5573
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
5574
(John A Meinel)
5575
5576
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
5577
conflicts.
5578
(Aaron Bentley)
5579
5580
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
5581
a separator, not ':'.
5582
(Aaron Bentley)
5583
5584
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
5585
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
5586
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
5587
5588
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
5589
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
5590
(Robert Collins)
5591
5592
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
5593
has been added that suppresses all output.
5594
5595
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
5596
Adams.
5597
5598
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
5599
Goffredo Baroncelli.
5600
5601
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
5602
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
5603
5604
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
5605
a revision. (Robert Collins)
5606
5607
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
5608
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
5609
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
5610
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
5611
5612
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
5613
5614
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
5615
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
5616
5617
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
5618
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
5619
5620
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
5621
output directory, if one was supplied.
5622
5623
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
5624
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
5625
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
5626
parameters. (Robert Collins)
5627
5628
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
5629
5630
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
5631
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
5632
5633
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
5634
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
5635
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
5636
5637
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
5638
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
5639
5640
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
5641
(Aaron Bentley)
5642
5643
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
5644
5645
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
5646
5647
TESTING:
5648
5649
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
5650
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
5651
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
5652
5653
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
5654
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
5655
related questions. (Robert Collins)
5656
5657
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
5658
is given. (Martin Pool)
5659
5660
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
5661
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
5662
file. (Robert Collins)
5663
5664
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
5665
(Martin Pool)
5666
5667
INTERNALS:
5668
5669
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
5670
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
5671
representation. (Martin Pool).
5672
5673
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
5674
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
5675
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
5676
5677
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5678
(Robert Collins)
5679
5680
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
5681
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
5682
Magnus Therning.
5683
5684
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5685
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
5686
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5687
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5688
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5689
5690
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5691
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5692
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5693
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5694
python path. (Robert Collins)
5695
5696
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5697
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5698
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5699
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5700
5701
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5702
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5703
5704
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5705
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5706
(Robert Collins)
5707
5708
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5709
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5710
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5711
5712
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5713
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5714
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5715
5716
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5717
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5718
5719
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5720
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5721
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5722
(Robert Collins)
5723
5724
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5725
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5726
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5727
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5728
(Robert Collins)
5729
5730
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5731
(Robert Collins)
5732
5733
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5734
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5735
(Robert Collins)
5736
5737
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
5738
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
5739
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
5740
5741
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
5742
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
5743
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
5744
5745
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
5746
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
5747
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
5748
5749
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5750
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5751
5752
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
5753
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
5754
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
5755
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
5756
caller. (Robert Collins)
5757
5758
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
5759
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
5760
(Robert Collins).
5761
5762
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
5763
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
5764
(Aaron Bentley)
5765
5766
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
5767
5768
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
5769
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
5770
5771
BUG FIXES:
5772
5773
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
5774
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
5775
5776
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
5777
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
5778

5780
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
5781
--------------------
5782
5783
BUG FIXES:
5784
5785
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
5786
allow directories to be listed.
5787
5788
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
5789
upgrading branch format.
5790
5791
PERFORMANCE:
5792
5793
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
5797
------------------
5798
5799
NOTES:
5800
5801
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
5802
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
5803
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
5804
high-latency connections.
5805
5806
BUG FIXES:
5807
5808
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
5809
Rob Weir.
5810
5811
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
5812
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
5813
5814
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
5815
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
5816
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
5817
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5818
5819
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5820
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5821
5822
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5823
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5824
5825
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
5826
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
5827
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5828
5829
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
5830
for files with only a change to their executable status.
5831
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
5832
Robert Collins
5833
5834
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5835
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5836
5837
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5838
different partial views of history.
5839
5840
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5841
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5842
5843
IMPROVEMENTS:
5844
5845
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5846
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5847
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5848
5849
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5850
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5851
'bzr upgrade'.
5852
5853
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5854
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5855
5856
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5857
Niemeyer.
5858
5859
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5860
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5861
5862
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5863
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5864
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5865
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5866
5867
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5868
5869
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5870
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5871
Gustavo Niemeyer.
5872
5873
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5874
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5875
5876
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5877
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5878
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5879
5880
5881
INTERNALS:
5882
5883
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5884
for your viewing pleasure.
5885
5886
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5887
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5888
5889
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5890
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5891
handling of such circumstances.
5892
5893
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
5894
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
5895
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
5896
5897
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5898
5899
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5900
we call them revisions not patches.
5901
5902
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5903
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5904
5905
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
5906
giving the revision *of that file*.
5907
5908
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
5909
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
5910
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
5911
5912
TESTING:
5913
5914
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
5915
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
5916
5917
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
5918
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
5919

5921
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
5922
--------------------
5923
5924
BUG FIXES:
5925
5926
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
5927
5928
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
5929
(Robert Collins).
5930
5931
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
5932
5933
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
5934
5935
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
5936
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5937
5938
IMPROVEMENTS:
5939
5940
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
5941
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
5942
5943
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
5944
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
5945
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
5946
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
5947
Robey Pointer
5948
5949
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
5950
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5951
5952
INTERNALS:
5953
5954
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
5955
5956
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
5957
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
5958
5959
5960
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
5961
--------------------
5962
5963
IMPROVEMENTS:
5964
5965
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
5966
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
5967
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
5968
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
5969
Michael Ellerman.
5970
5971
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
5972
(Nir Soffer)
5973
5974
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
5975
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
5976
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
5977
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
5978
for the operating system is still tried.
5979
5980
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
5981
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
5982
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
5983
5984
5985
INTERNALS:
5986
5987

5990
5991
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
5992
5993
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
5994
branch.
5995
5996
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
5997
read.
5998
5999
6000
PORTABILITY:
6001
6002

bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
6008
--------------------
6009
6010
NEW FEATURES:
6011
6012
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
6013
help with intelligent shell completion.
6014
6015
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
6016
6017
6018
ENHANCEMENTS:
6019
6020
* Much better merge support.
6021
6022
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
6023
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
6024
like emacs smerge.
6025
6026
6027
BUG FIXES:
6028
6029
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
6030
mention revisions that are not present.
6031
6032
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
6033
6034
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
6035
6036
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
6037
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
6038
6039
6040
CHANGES:
6041
6042
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
6043
6044
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
6045
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
6046
--help themselves.
6047
6048
6049
LIBRARY:
6050
6051
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
6052
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
6053
libraries.
6054
6055
6056
6057
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
6058
--------------------
6059
6060
NEW FEATURES:
6061
6062
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
6063
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
6064
6065
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
6066
6067
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
6068
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
6069
6070
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
6071
FOO.
6072
6073
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
6074
6075
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
6076
the Unix command.
6077
6078
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
6079
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
6080
6081
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
6082
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
6083
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
6084
6085
6086
ENHANCEMENTS:
6087
6088
* Faster working tree operations.
6089
6090
6091
CHANGES:
6092
6093
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
6094
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
6095
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
6096
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
6097
6098
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
6099
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
6100
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
6101
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
6102
standard plugins directory.
6103
6104
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
6105
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
6106
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
6107
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
6108
6109
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
6110
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
6111
6112
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
6113
disk.
6114
6115
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
6116
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
6117
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
6118
6119
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
6120
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
6121
6122
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
6123
line options must come before the command name because they
6124
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
6125
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
6126
it.
6127
6128
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
6129
6130
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
6131
is available with ``--short``.
6132
6133
6134
BUG FIXES:
6135
6136
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
6137
6138
6139
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
6140
---------------------
6141
6142
CHANGES:
6143
6144
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
6145
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
6146
6147
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
6148
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
6149
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
6150
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
6151
6152
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
6153
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
6154
with the ``--forward`` option.
6155
6156
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
6157
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
6158
field.
6159
6160
6161
ENHANCEMENTS:
6162
6163
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6164
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
6165
6166
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
6167
6168
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
6169
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
6170
6171
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
6172
6173
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
6174
either read or write mode.
6175
6176
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
6177
6178
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
6179
affected that file.
6180
6181
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
6182
6183
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
6184
suggested by LarstiQ.
6185
6186
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
6187
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
6188
6189
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
6190
a filename.
6191
6192
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
6193
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
6194
6195
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
6196
haven't changed since the previous time.
6197
6198
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
6199
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
6200
6201
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
6202
6203
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
6204
6205
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
6206
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
6207
6208
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
6209
options through to an external GNU diff.
6210
6211
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
6212
their contents.
6213
6214
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
6215
from a branch.
6216
6217
6218
BUG FIXES:
6219
6220
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
6221
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
6222
6223
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
6224
metacharacters.
6225
6226
6227
TESTING:
6228
6229
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
6230
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
6231
the tests.
6232
6233
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
6234
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
6235
6236
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
6237
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
6238
6239
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
6240
under a different version.
6241
6242
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
6243
6244
6245
INTERNAL:
6246
6247
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
6248
6249
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
6250
Scott James Remnant.
6251
6252
* Better help messages for many commands.
6253
6254
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
6255
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
6256
6257
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
6258
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
6259
6260
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
6261
6262
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
6263
6264
* New AtomicFile class.
6265
6266
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
6267
6268
6269
PORTABILITY:
6270
6271
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
6272
2.4 is now only recommended.
6273
6274
6275
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
6276
---------------------
6277
6278
ENHANCEMENTS:
6279
6280
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
6281
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
6282
6283
* More default ignore patterns.
6284
6285
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
6286
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
6287
6288
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
6289
6290
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
6291
by Jason Diamon.
6292
6293
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
6294
6295
6296
CHANGES:
6297
6298
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
6299
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
6300
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
6301
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
6302
there are DNS problems.
6303
6304
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
6305
6306
6307
BUG FIXES:
6308
6309
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
6310
6311
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
6312
6313
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
6314
trailing newlines properly.
6315
6316
6317
INTERNAL:
6318
6319
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
6320
Matt Brubeck.
6321
6322
* More tests in test.sh.
6323
6324
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
6325
directory and delete it when done.
6326
6327
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
6328
6329
6330
PORTABILITY:
6331
6332
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
6333
Bennetts.
6334
6335
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
6336
from QuantumG.

6345
in the tree.
6346

6348
6349
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
6350
and/or directory.
6351
6352
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
6353
directory.
6354
6355
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
6356
6357
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
6358
6359
CHANGES:
6360
6361
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
6362
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
6363
will do for now.)
6364
6365
PORTABILITY:
6366
6367
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
6368
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
6369
Nielsen.
6370
6371
INTERNAL:
6372
6373
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
6374
6375
TESTING:
6376

6389
-----------------------------------
6390
6391
ENHANCEMENTS:
6392
6393
* Default ignore list extended (see bzrlib/__init__.py).
6394
6395
* Patterns in .bzrignore are now added to the default ignore list,
6396
rather than replacing it.
6397
6398
* Ignore list isn't reread for every file.
6399
6400
* More help topics.
6401
6402
* Reinstate the 'bzr check' command to check invariants of the
6403
branch.
6404
6405
* New 'ignored' command lists which files are ignored and why;
6406
'deleted' lists files deleted in the current working tree.
6407
6408
* Performance improvements.
6409
6410
* New global --profile option.
6411
6412
* Ignore patterns like './config.h' now correctly match files in
6413
the root directory only.
6414
6415
6416
bzr-0.0.1 2005-03-26

6421
* More information from info command.
6422
6423

6424
6425

6426
committing to stores.
6427
6428
* More useful verbose output from some commands.
6429
6430
BUG FIXES:
6431

6433
6434
PORTABILITY:
6435
6436
* Include a subset of ElementTree-1.2.20040618 to make
6437
installation easier.
6438
6439
* Fix time.localtime call to work with Python 2.3 (the minimum
6440
supported).

6443
bzr-0.0.0.69 2005-03-22
6444
------------------------
6445

ENHANCEMENTS:
6447
6448
